Forums - Gaming Discussion - New Famitsu - VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 2 FOR PSP!

st read Famitsu interview with the producer - Apparently this is now PSP series, they decided to make it a true sequel (and not a spin-off) to show they are serious about PSP development. They are excited about PSP's ad-hoc mode, and also have NO INTENTION of lowering the quality of the game just because it's on PSP.

 

Here is the interview in Japanese -

 

ファミ通戦ヴァルインタビュー一部抜粋 

-前作は対応ハードがプレイステーション3でしたが、本作をPSPでリリースする事にした理由は? 
田中:より幅広いユーザーの皆さんに「戦場のヴァルキュリア」の魅力を知ってもらいたいという思いから、 
PSPでもシリーズタイトルをリリースする事になりました。新作とするにあたって、 
今回は醍醐味の一つである戦闘システム"BLiTZ"をより遊びごたえのあるものにパワーアップさせています。 
~~中略~~ 
またアドホックモードでの通信プレイに新しい遊びの可能性を感じたと言うのも、大きな理由の一つでした。 
-本作はナンバリングタイトルとなるわけですが、今後はPSP中心のシリーズ展開になるのですか? 
田中:いいえ。本作をナンバリングタイトルとしたのは、我々の"本気度"をユーザーに知っていただきたかったからなんです。 
前作の開発を手掛けたメンバーが全て作っていますので。 
-単なるスピンオフ作品ではないし、ハードが携帯機になったからと言って質を下げるつもりはないと。 
そのとおりです。 
~~以下略~~

 

 

Info from PSP Hyper - http://www.psphyper.com/psp/valkyria-chronicles-goes-to-school-sequel-announced-for-psp/


- Not many screens are shown but Canvas, the rendering engine used to created the watercolor look of the first game, is still being used and the developers from the PS3 version is working on the game.
- In the interview, Sega want to show that they are serious about the game with the number 2 attached to the title and apparently there will be more for PSP from the series in future.

Why not 360 or ps3? Why waste time on a pirated handheld?

Maybe because it's a great selling system in Japan - for both software and hardware.

 

Great decision by SEGA - and what an addition to already superb PSP line-up!

Probably the same reason why so many other high quality titles are releasing on the PSP between now and the end of 2010.

 

PSP library is awesome!



My daughter is my world.

Download only, perhaps?

Go buy yourself a PSP Go, and then perhaps the bitterness will subside. ;)



 

In other news, Dragon Quest IX scored 40/40.



Why did I buy a stupid DS >_>



Bittersweet since I don't own a PSP, but I'm very glad that the game was successful enough to warrant a sequel.



...

AMAZING!!!

Where is Outlawauron? Is he dead? Has this news caused him to collapse?
