and this will eventually be ported on the PS3, right....RIGHT? =(

Valkyria Chronicles 1 sold more in the US than ALL of the VC's in Japan put together.

Why wouldn't you bring your game series where it sells best?

WTF kind of business is that?

tiffac0084615d ago

I'm just hoping that Sega will put VC3 on the remastered list that way it can be available for both PS3 (via PSN) and PSV and then hope some more that this would entice them to localize the game.

Heck! They can even bundle it with VC2 for the PSV if they want (I think its doable). I just hope they don't kill the series because of their own bad strategy.

Sega has a long list of games that died by their own hands (Sakura Tiasen, Panzer Dragoon, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia etc...)

Where is VC3 for the PSP in USA ?

By the way, where is Yakuza PSP in USA also ?

Sega ,Wake Up !

They've said that the likelihood of a English version is very low so don't hold your breath.

jimmywolf4615d ago

wonder why Thu not enough profit? sad day when corporation care more about $$$ then trying give too fans that still support them

BBCnewsrocks4614d ago

Maybe, maybe not. It's understandable if it is though, that doesn't make it any less disappointing.

NeoBasch4615d ago

Sega might do it this time. You never know. If you really want it, organize a group like Operation Rainfall and try to convince Sega to publish said games. VC3 would probably be more likely as this is the same game just packed with extras. They could've been waiting for this all along.

tiffac0084615d ago (Edited 4615d ago )

The Yakuza for the PSP is unlikely to get localized because Sega has officially stated they will not release any Yakuza spin-offs or gaiden to the west. This includes the Samurai era and Zombie spin-off for the PS3. :(

I just hope they still have plans for VC3 though and I agree with everyone the next VC should be on the PS3.

Oh there is a group of FB that I found that is trying to get people to register like Operation Rainfall so VC3 can be localized.

darn!
I'm just re-playing Yakuza Black Panther & VC 3 demo and it makes me mad why SEGA not localize it! >.<
and it make's me more mad when SEGA announced Black Panther 2 for PSP, but not Vita!? wtf

Look's like the only way to play this games are:
1. Learned kanji, read some translation guide, and than import it from play-asia or ebay.

2. Patch it with fans-translation...but i don't want to used custom-firmware for my PSP 3000 -_-

I really want VC2 and 3 on my PS3. I'd really appreciate that, Sega. You'd be miles ahead of losers like Capcom.

Allowen4615d ago

Does anyone know if VC3 is as addicting as VC2 ?
I got more then 170 hours played in VC2. It is a @!$$! addicting awesome game )

Inception4615d ago

FYI, you can download VC 3 demo in here (just click the box with pink colour):

Imho, even though i don't understand much of japanese language
but for me VC 3 is more addicting than VC 2 ;)

Sega sells Relic and will cut 240 jobs across UK studios

GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.

The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."

Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.

just_looken22d ago

It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.

gold_drake22d ago

I hope they find new jobs in the industry soon.

Jingsing22d ago

Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol

SEGA’s Switch Predecessor: What Happened to the Nomad?

Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
