Hot diggity dang if this is true I'm all for it. Maybe we could even get VC2!

EDIT:

Sega has confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles is coming to PC.

You too can see the horrors of war as witnessed by anime kids.

Actually it's a good game, despite the disposable nature of the female characters in it (WMDs are now plot macguffin anime babes).

That says it was released 11 days ago...

The PS3-version date doesn't match any of the real release dates either so I wouldn't fret that.

If this does come to the PC it'll be a pretty damn random pull from Sega.

@alexw00d: The date is for when it was added to the PEGI database afaik. The date for the original PS3 release is also not the actual release date of the game.

People are saying that this is part of SEGAs push to get their shit on PC, with Kamiya hanging out at Valve recently.

It's been a long time since I've played the game, but I don't remember the plot macguffin anime babes being disposable, even if they did fill the roles of WMDs. Is there something I'm missing? Remember to spoiler tag specifics. I don't think anything you've said so far should have been in spoiler tags, but it does get close to that territory.

Instant buy if this becomes reality.

If so this would be great. even if a lot of them seem like bad ports it's nice to see Japanese developers experimenting with the pc market

Pretty excited about this, hopefully if VC is released on Steam or something more people will be able to experience this gem. More importantly, if Sega ports the whole series to the PC maybe the 3rd game will finally get officially localized. One can only hope.

@viciousanchovy: It's a little too specific I think for this thread, but the most credible villain is just removed for no particular reason other than she's an object of warfare as opposed to being a person.

Nice surprise. I can now continue my archiving of console games to my PC with perhaps my favorite PS3 game. Can't wait.

I'm not usually one to be all pressed about 60fps/1080p and all that, but Valkyria Chronicles might just be my #1 favorite game and I would totally buy it again if it came to PC.

Well, they're guns and tanks and jets and battleships too so why not?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and fucking best thing ever everyone should buy this fucking game

@starvinggamer: Well if they didn't go for a WW2 setting I think that would work fine, it's just very jarring in this case. It doesn't diminish the game because the gameplay is awesome and there's some amount of hilarity to how happy the characters are after they've killed hundreds of people (that's every game though).

EDIT: FFT is better and also more grounded in reality despite being in a fantasy universe.

While they're porting it to PC they might as well just throw it on PSN / Xbox Live for next-gen consoles. Riiiight?

A man can dream.

Neogaf have been campaigning for a PC port of this for like a year now. Hopefully we get Vanquish too, that game would be perfect on PC.

oh God, let it be that they put all 3 out on PC... never got around playing 2 an 3 because i never had a psp and got absolutely 0 intention of ever getting a vita, I can't even imagine how terribly those have sold being a psp exclusive...

I didn't like this game as much as I hoped I would, but I'm still disappointed they never localized 3.

@onarum: 3 would have to be translated/localised first. That's more expensive.

I actually wouldn't be that surprised if this happened. There's been a lot of out of nowhere ports recently and they all make the idea of VC coming to PSN / Xbox Live sound relatively uneventful. Even though it kind of would be.

I hope this is true!

You seem to be forgetting how terribly the first game sold and how PSP crazy Japan was at the time. I seem to recall the Japanese launch week sales of VC2 doing better than the North American lifetime sales of VC1.

@hassun said:

Damn, didn't even knew it was never localized... but hell If I could get 2 I would be more than happy already, the first one is just so fucking awesome.

@mosespippy: I actually didn't know that, well more than enough reason for them to get that thing on PC then, even if it's just the first one, people need to play that game man, so good.

Please be true. PLEASE!

Holy shitsnacks. I would totally buy it a second time if this is true.

I've always wanted to play this game after playing the demo for hours. I always thought of picking it up but gamestop has it for like 30$ still. I'd pick up a pc port more than likely

I would be excited if this meant there was hope for a console sequel, but the chances are likely close to zero.

Enjoyed my playthrough of the game a lot, if anyone is still looking for opinions on the game.

I hope this is real. I'd love to see a pc port just so I'd have reason to play it again. And yeah, it'd be nice seeing it's sequels too, but that may be stretching it.

This game is great and I'd love more people to have the opportunity to play it. I really hope this is true!

Please let this be true. More people need the opportunity to play VC, and I'd happily throw down some cash to play it again on PC.

Well, fuck. I just bought this for my PS3 a month ago, but would much rather have had it in my PC library.

I've always meant to play this game... Just never got the motivation to buy the damn thing. If it comes to PC then it's a click away from entering my backlog...

I'd be in ... VC is one of the few PS3 game I always wanted to play. Touch it up a little, release it ... sold.

$30 is kinda crazy considering I got it from Gamestop for $20 like 5 years ago.

Hmmm, I own this on PS3, but I hate that controller. Maybe this port will get me to buy it again.

They should bring over the rest while they are at it. Always wanted to play the second game. Also bring over Skies of Arcadia Legends please!

I don't want to stereotype but possible bad port incoming.

Get back to me when the sequels are released on anything other than PSP.

100% agree. I would buy it (and play through it again) in an instant if this happens.

I sorta bought a PS3 so I could play the first game (among other things), so a PC port doesn't do a whole lot for me. I'll start paying attention when they tell me they're bringing over VC 3 and localizing it in English.

I think this game was pretty overrated IMO.

This game is goddamned great but it was the first and only game I've ever beaten without watching cutscenes because they are without a doubt the most grating insufferable thing I have ever witnessed.

That is amazing. I was just thinking that I want to get that game digitally.

Or this http://youtu.be/3-XZ7O_8bDY?t=15m30s

Awesome. I think Sega want to capitalise on people's new found love of tactics games.

CONFIRMED!

I literally just bought this game for my PS3 yesterday. Oh fudge!

Bring on Bayonetta (maybe not so likely now) and Vanquish Sega!

Weird. What an odd game to port this far down the line. Cool nonetheless.
