Woooo. Third PSP game I'm reaaaaaaly looking forward to.
First Persona, then Lunar, now this. Whats next?

Half Minute Hero? Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman? Dissidia (it's awesome)? GT PSP? Tekken 6?

Meh edit: nvm, whats this about?
Not really interested
Looks ok but I don't really like FF that much.
GT5 is where its at.
I never liked Tekken... exception is the second one.

The 3 mentioned ones are the ones I'm getting day one, of course there are other PSP games I'm anticipating.

HELL YEA!

While a small part of me is sad that VC2 won't be coming to the PS3, I am still absolutely overjoy that a sequal is in development! Glory to SEGA!




Just 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~~



I'm seeing some weird shit ala 'matrix'

And I have full confident that the game will be great, my biggest concern is the VA for localisation. Sega is a great advocate for keeping the original VA so I'm very optimistic. Seriously, this news made my day -nay- week -nay- month -nay- the entire year!

The lower right corner has me worried, don't make the game over the top artsy, just stick with the great style of the first game. Secondly, I'm worried about how the CANVAS-engine translates onto PSP, but we'll see about that. Still, awesome news, and definitely a plus for my future PSP Go!

You might as well have shown an article saying that it was going exclusive to Wii or 360. This is such bad news for me on a personal gaming level that it has ruined my day.

I'm not a buy every console that's around person. I bought PS3 in large measure because of VC, quite reasonably assuming that VC2 (& 3) would also be on PS3 (exclusive or mulitplat I don't care). My entertainment budget does not stretch to buying another gaming system just for this, besides which I don't like handhelds in general.

Bring it to the PSP audience by all means, but please keep it on PS3 as well.

Why in the world would you assume VC was getting a sequel?!

Dude, by the time I got my PS3 and started playing Valkyria Chronicles (2 weeks ago) it was a pretty safe assumption to make. But the point I was making was not that one could assume there would be sequel(s) but rather that IF there were going to be sequels PS3 would be [at least one of] the platform it would come to.

I'm totally bummed about this, so much that any happiness in the knowledge that the franchise is continuing has been crushed.

Was it E308 where they had the sizzle where it showed VC for PSP, but they said it was a mistake?

Little did they know...



And so the myth of better DS library has fallen :)

Seriously anyone saying PSP doesn't have games now should get their head examined.

Great news altrough I'd prefer PS3 version but hell I'd even buy Wii for this title so i can't be unhappy when it goes to PSP which i already have :)
