Very old news (released on January it seems) and not worth a new thread, but I just found out.

So you knew it was old news, knew it was not worth a thread and instead chose to make one and complain anyway.

Does it really even need to be pointed out that PS3 games don't sell as well as PSP games in Japan? This is why they do it this way. This version also seems to sport a more serous story compared to the light hearted nature of the previous game. The only point worth concerning oneself over at this point (though clearly not you, the master of kanjis ) is if Sega of America will bother to localize it at all.

They're clearly not doing Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and the previous version did rather well in western territories despite Sega of America and Sega of Europe putting ZERO ad money into it..

How much would you guys like to wager that Sega puts together a Valkyria Chronicles HD Collection for PS3, featuring all three games on one Blu-ray disc at some point in time?

When was the last time Sega did anything fans wanted? How many years have people begged and pleaded for Shenmue III? We got a China-only MMO and a Facebook game nobody wanted. Still no Shenmue III.

And keep in mind a collection has to go through SoA and SoE as well. English localization is handled by SoA, so English-speaking players would only see such games if they were lucky. VC3 still doesn't have a firm US date to my knowledge and if I were a betting man it gets out just before Vita comes out.

Sega's localization times are even more atrocious than SE's used to be.

Yakuza series would like a word with you.

I don't see your how you're correlating a hypothetical VC1-3 collection with Shenmue 3.

A collection is games that are already made; at most they have to spruce up the engine to run them and clean up some textures/shaders, then slap an interface and some trophies on them. This is not nearly as hard as making a new game from scratch; if it were, we wouldn't have seen Prince of Persia HD collections, or God of War Collection, or Ico/SotC collection, or Splinter Cell collection, or the upcoming Metal Gear Solid collection. Ergo, the idea is that this is a cost-effective approach, which should be appealing to Sega.

Making Shenmue III is a whole other huge (and potentially horrendously expensive) process.

SOA doing what they were supposed to do with Yakuza 3 in Yakuza 4 is not fixing anything, its doing what they were supposed to do. They did not go back and put in Y3 what they kept in Y4 .SoA cut corners, they deserved every bit shit they got over Y3..

I'm talking about not addressing critical gameplay issues for years and ignoring fan demand for the continuation of thinhs like Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon and neglecting other numerous IPs they have in favor of yet another Sonic, yet another Yakuza game and more VC.

I don't see your how you're correlating a hypothetical VC1-3 collection with Shenmue 3.

I didn't draw a correlation, you tried to find one. I said Sega doesn't listen to their fans, more accurately, they listen to fandumb - the Japanophies and furry fans. But game collections people want - OK, I'll make a correlation for you - Shenmue I and II were being considered at one point for that, it didn't happen.

Shit's a decade old now, they've ported other Dreamcast games to PS3 and 360. What's stopping them. Free money at this point

Well, the answer would be its Sega.

If anyone could fuck it up, it would be Sega. They've only had 15 years of practice at disappointing fans now.

Has Sega released HD collections of their games? If they do I'd definitely buy Valkyria HD.





PS > And I'm glad I don't have to wait for localizations to be able to play those games.

I may struggle with some kanjis and phrases but it helps me study anyway and it's way more enjoyable than dealing with localizations.

This was actually confirmed quite some time ago, but it's disappointing all the same.


Sorry, but the art really is one of VC's biggest attractions and moving it to PSP just makes it look like another typical SJRPG.

Just the halfassed collections than never come fully complete with anything you'd actually want. The last collection was the Dreamcast collection for 360 (PS3 got the download versions) and it was just four DC games with no frills.

Sonic Adventure, Space Channel 5 Part 2 (not even a DC games, that was PS2), Crazy Taxi and Sega Bass Fishing.

Are we starting to see why I have no faith in an HD collection of anything Sega does? The Genesis collection was even more underwhelming, even if it did have more games. They weren't the Sega Ages remakes, though.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 was indeed a Dreamcast game.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 was indeed a Dreamcast game.

I don't remember if it got a US release, though. I don't think it did - though at that time SOA stiffing NA gamers on Shenmue II was probably what was burning me at the time. I ended up importing the PAL version.

Space Channel 5: Part 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2003 US release, but for PS2. The Dreamcast version was not released in the US.
