Valkyria Chronicles 2

[Yoshi]

Maybe PSP means 360 in Japanese.

[Chux]

Yeah, they can fuck themselves.

Hey that's funny, joystiq thinks that people still buy PSP games.

PSP software sales are decent in handheld-fetish Japan.
Who's to say this is even coming stateside.

It's comforting to know that Sega has not lost their propensity to sabotage good products.

VC sold awful. The alternative to this wasn't another Valkyrie Chronicles on console, it was no more VC at all.

I will never, ever buy that argument. And it didn't sell that badly. Word of mouth saved it.

Producer Shuntaro Tanaka commented to Famitsu that the move to PSP was "to allow a broader spectrum of users to discover and enjoy what makes Valkyria special," but noted that the Valkyria series is not necessarily bound to handheld systems in the future.

You're controlling a bunch of military cadets, though, so much of the game's story is told through your life in and around the school -- perhaps giving Valkyria 2 a bit of a Japanese "school life simulator" touch, although details are still scant.

Head in hands.

WAH WAH WAH!

Since I recently started using the PSP again, this news doesn't bother me at all. Unless it doesn't come out until I'm sick of portables again.

[Chux]

But they're fucking cadets in a date sim, fuck off sega and get aids.

[Thief Silver]

You mean... like sakura taisen?

VC sold awful. The alternative to this wasn't another Valkyrie Chronicles on console, it was no more VC at all.

It actually didnt. It, coupled with its re-release in japan along side the anime, and the word of mouth in the US, it sold well above expectations.

I didnt think there would be such a negative response, I am just happy to see a sequel, but, seeing this is gonna turn into some military school dating sim, now i just really wish and hope their working on the next console version right now. The original is by far one of my favorite games of the generation.
