Sega/Deep Silver publishing Valkyria Revolution in Q2 2017 on PS4/XB1/Vita
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
Sega Europe manages Creative Assembly (Total War/Halo Wars), Sports Interactive (Football Manager), Relic (Dawn of War/Company of Heroes), and Amplitude (Endless Legends/Dungeons of the Endless/Endless Space). They also recently tried Motorsport Manager from a contract studio.
They're basically their PC digital arm.

Xbox instead of PC is surprising, though I'm not complaining.
1.0 was trash and 2.0 is still trash. I feel bad for Valkyria series fans who are going to play this game.
Sega loves butchering their SRPG IPs.
I'm curious if Xbox One gets VC1r now?
Yes, Sega West would probably be handing Steam themselves.

Congrats, Xbox! You're getting the best franchise Sega has produced in the past decade.
If you like what you see, please donate a dollar to Vita. A dollar from all of you today will make Vita come back to life. Please think of the Vita the next time you play this...

More likely than being ported to a platform that hasn't been relevant since its creation

Also, I'm getting the physical version because the cover is great.

Okay SEGA... I see you. I'll grab it physical on Xbox to show you I want more games like this physically!

No PC after VC sales ? Sega hates money.

Think nothing of it. The same people would have laughed at you for entertaining the idea of an XB1 version before today.
I wish I could get excited for this as the original Valkyria Chronicles is amazing but all reports point to Sega completely missing what made the original popular in the west and a shitty combat system so it's a wait and see for me.
Also being silent on the possibility of a PC version when VC on steam was quite popular and people clearly showed interest is yet again some baffling Japanese publisher thing that is getting tiring.

SEGA Europe*
SEGA America and SEGA Europe are pretty much separate entities, this announcement came from SEGA America, and SEGA Europe is the one with a PC focus, so if a PC announcement happens, it'll most likely come from the European branch.
Please no...

Btw, I'd have thought Media Vision would've handled the Vita port themselves. They've a wealth of experience (Chaos Rings III; Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth; Summon Night 6) and it's releasing in Japan, so makes sense.

They probably want people to double dip
The XBone?More likely than being ported to a platform that hasn't been relevant since its creation
The vita is digital only
But didn't they publish console games in EU before? What made them to stop? It is extra revenue that goes straight to the company instead of DS taking a cut. Will Sonic games be published by DS in the future?
Indeed :/

Maybe SEGA will publish it on Steam by itself? It would make sense, as they have a nice presence on it.

I just hope Sega Europe gets to put out a PC port. Sega did say they'd make some PC port announcements in January, so if they don't announce it then, it's not coming until way later in the year, which would suck unless they dial up the port's functionality up to 11.

Does this have any sort of aiming like the first Valkyria Chronicles? Haven't seen much gameplay, from what I have seen though it has only been people running around with swords.
Think I'd want to wait for an eventual PC version if there is any aiming though since aiming with a controller in VC felt horrible.

I had seen footage of 1.0 before. I just watched some of 2.0 and it still looks....just awful. I would have grabbed VC4 in a heartbeat but not whatever this is meant to be.

The XO version is super weird. I expect this will bomb harder than FF Type-0 on Xbox One. But I'm thankful that they will bring the Vita version to west. At this point I'll take anything, even digital.

I don't think this game is going to appeal to many people, Valkyria fans or not. As a fan of the series they are doing nothing that excites me with this game. I rather have Valkyria 3 HD to be honest.

It's the combination ox XBox but no PC that makes it weird

Will probably get the VITA version. Though I wish big publishers/developers teamed with with smaller publishers like Limited Run Games and Signature Edition for Vita physical releases.
