To what god must I sacrifice a lamb to to get this localized?

 

[Sam Bishop]

REMINDER (as Xenus and I'm sure others have also commented at this point):

SEGA now owns Atlus. This is sort of their... thang.

Oonce oonce oonce oonce

Also, yeah, this:

Holy fuck.

[edit] Totally forgot my new(ish) industry position in the midst of excitement. I am in no way confirming ANYTHING for SCEA/Atlus/SEGA and god this is why I must lurk for all eternity.

 

[NeededSleep]

Is this Atlus's influence? if so impressive.

 

[luka]

holy crap

 

[Pringer Lagann]

HOOK IT TO MY VEINS

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That didn't help Sega with releasing Yakuza 1 and 2 HD in the west.

Maybe times have changed and Sega sees money in PS4. Right?

 

[Odrion]

The Sega that recently started releasing Hatsune Miku games here, bought Atlus, and also made a sequel to Typing of the Dead. You cannot predict their movements.

There are constants though.

There's always a man, a lighthouse, and Sega never localizing anything we want ever.

Don't hope, it hurts less.

 

[Storm Chamber]

I'll get excited when I hear about localization.

 

[Caelestis]

Woah... And I just bought the first one recently. Guess I'll hold off in hopes of getting this here in the west.

 

[UNCyrus]

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

 

[Panthers]

This better come over here. I still own the first but never bought the next 2. Cmon release it stateside please!!

 

[hwateber]

never got around to playing the second and third games. loved the first one though so I really hope this is coming to the west

 

[chrominance]

RIP orders

Honestly, I would be fine with that. I rarely if ever used orders, which sounds like the right call given how others found that it broke the game when you abused them. Or make them like the special actions in VC3 where you can only use a certain amount of them per battle (even as low as one or two), versus them taking up CP.

 

[Aeana]

1. They aren't going to translate and voice the game for the west
2. Its Sega

You seem so certain about this.

 

[NolbertoS]

I already own rhem on PSP, but will double dip if localized. Make it happen Sega.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

To what god must I sacrifice a lamb to to get this localized?

I wish I could knock on Sega's door, drop some money and fund the localization myself.

Kickstarter!

 

[Dreamgazer]

Are mods not rumor tagging this because they know it's true? >.>

 

[Storm Chamber]

edit: It seems like its 2 separate titles. 1 is releasing separately and 2&3 are collection.

LMAO, we're only getting 1 if we're getting anything.

 

[darkwing]

they should localize this or else Sega

pleaseeeeeeee

 

[Vylash]

Can't wait for us to not get it

 

[everyday math]

I wish I could knock on Sega's door, drop some money and fund the localization myself.

Kickstarter!

Do some lap dancing to raise money.

 

[dallow_bg]

Sega, are you going to do the right thing?

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

There are constants though.

There's always a man, a lighthouse, and Sega never localizing anything we want ever.

Sega localized five freakin' Yakuza games despite sales being middling to poor.
Cut them some slack.

 

[Levito]

You seem so certain about this.

OH GOD OH MAN


Please Sega, please localize this.

 

[zroid]

two releases eh... well I'm okay with that, just means I won't have to re-buy 1

of course this means 1 will probably get localized and 2-3 definitely won't... -_-

 

[Marche90]

You seem so certain about this.

I won't ever doubt a word you speak again.

I trust this woman. I do. A lot.

Screw the non-believers!

 

[Shalashaska161]

This better come out in NA. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

 

[CO_Andy]

I said wow

 

[Zeyphersan]

You seem so certain about this.

There's more of your vague statements.

THAT MEANS IT'S HAPPENING, GUYS

 

[darkwing]

so what are the chances Sega will localize this

 

[Dragonborn]

I need this. Never got to play 2 and 3. Please Sega

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Are mods not rumor tagging this because they know it's true? >.>

VC is a masterclass. Nobody better fuck around with rumors about it. That's like joking about Project Beast.

Lives will be shattered in a turn-based slasherfest if this happens to be fake.

 

[Enron]

You all know this is never coming here :<

 

[jayu26]

Not in the second one, nope. Not a game I would play for its story. Sadly, some of the gameplay decisions were weird too.

I never did get around to the third one.

I will admit it, I liked the story in the first one. Story telling was bad as fuck and I hate that soap-opera style of story telling, but the story itself was very interesting. It reminded of Full Metal Alchemist at times. Of course, gameplay (despite janky "go in third person and control your guys directly" mechanic) is where that game shines.

You all know this is never coming here :<

Let us dream...

 

[Jimrpg]

So if I buy this we get Y5 amirite?

 

[Storm Chamber]

Sega localized five freakin' Yakuza games despite sales being middling to poor.
Cut them some slack.

Five? What are you-

"Dead Souls"

 

[Odrion]

Is this where the news is? http://sag.tank.jp/res/20140507/1399434429/861

Because a guy on Something Awful says no one in that thread believes it, it was deleted because no one believes it, and that link is an archive for deleted threads.

 

[Augemitbutter]

didn't expect this. we won't get this. we can't have nice things.

or can we?

 

[klee123]

Unlike the Yakuza games, I can actually see the Valkyria games getting localized simply that the franchise is far more appealing to the western audiences.

That and I doubt the translation work is as nearly as much as the Yakuza games.

 

[darkwing]

You all know this is never coming here :<

nooooooo

 

[RurouniZel]

No seriously, this is me right now.

 

[unapersson]

This is amazing news, I'd better not wake up in a minute or I'm going to be very annoyed.

 

[Coxy]

So there is a chance we will get Valkyria Chronicles 4 after all? Maybe TGS annoucement.

god I hope so, I'd finally be able to BELIEVE again.

The fact they're all PS4 and no Vita ports makes me think they are trying to line up the series on PS4 maybe for a sequel

said sequel might be dependant on these doing well though, hopefully they dont have a goal to sell 8 million copies or something

 

[Ambition]

You seem so certain about this.

Dude.

Dude...

My heart is weak. I'll let the mods here decide.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Maybe just me, but we ought to get ready to have a localization petition or at least something to show great interest in localization.

Sure, this may be the Sega that localized Hatsune Miku and is for the time being letting Atlus USA do their thing, but this is also the same Sega that has not localized plenty of other things that had localization precedents.

*If this is real, that is, but I have my serious doubts.

 

[Eusis]

You seem so certain about this.

You set your expectations low enough everything's good news.

I can't help but be cautiously optimistic, it's ONE GAME to get localized and it's on a platform with a bunch of starving owners, ones more likely to buy it up than if it was on the by then unloved PSP. And it's the perfect way to placate the people who turn their noses up at handhelds. I'm actually more worried about SCEA right now, but they could just put all three together for NA and likely EU as a result and on the flipside Sega might be more willing to go DD only anyway so it's a wash.

 

[Sandfox]

The first game is already translated and voiced. Even that alone for PS4 in US will do wonders. Hope it sells better this time to convince a better localization for all.

If they are planning two releases, the first one can be easily localized to US to test the water again.

I don't really like the idea of using a port of a game didn't sell well in the first place to test the water.

The Sega that recently started releasing Hatsune Miku games here, bought Atlus, and also made a sequel to Typing of the Dead. You cannot predict their movements.

Miku was an experiment that wasn't exactly as big of a project as VC3 would be.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Sooooo want this!

 

[Josh7289]

"visual upgrade" is concerning.
