Yellow Valerie (Gun Valkyrie) has reached level 100!

Just like the Lucas Arts digi releases are coming and i am little late but...
Sega can always deliver and the patent system doesnt mean a whole lot anymore.

Thanks everyone

PC ports are often riddled with problems simply because they're lazy ports.

Now you're telling me they're going to port some obscure game.

Wake me up when the news is actually exciting!

valkyria chronicles was one of the most fun games I played on ps3. I'll be picking it up once it comes out.

Learn how to optimize the game or to buy application that will help you. For good example:
i need to learn how to optimize depth in every game i play to my own liking instead of bitching about nvidia optimizing depth "too much" when a lot of it also has to do with znear camera tricks depth of view depth of view and zfar hacks in the many different versions of Unreal and the versions of dolphin approaching 5.0
16 bits (2 bytes) of any function precision was enough and it can still be enough; i mean the z-buffer is not pure and neither are the old camera values like w-buffers were once said to store... it's all programmable (i mean we won't ever see everything on one die so we could have more graphics cards; and PCs will always be the most versatile as they're Personal Computers).

i also love my GTX 780; it's fine even if the vents are square due to me falling for newegg's photos and advertising (although i still don't plan to turn on HW accelerated scrolling in firefox again)

summary: nvidia didn't screw the depth all by themselves. i plan to solve it hoping it will help myself and others.

Don't understand why devs ignore the pc for many of these console only properties. You release something on console and it has a fairly limited lifecycle due to how the console industry revolves. You put out a decent pc title and you can have some revenue trickling in for an exponentially longer time.

Developers look for big initial sales, not lifetime sales. They're looking to meet quarter revenue targets and only look for short term profit, which is why 99% of the games that are released never get patched after the first 1 or 2 big ones.

Maybe my experience is limited, but although Sega ports may lack a lot of the video options PC gamers are used to, I've never had issues with the games themselves. They run smooth and aren't buggy.

Valkyria Chronicles still makes lists for top PS3 games.

Be a little less ignorant.

Valkyria Chronicles was a great game for anybody who enjoys strategy games. DO yourself a favor and check it out, for anybody with a PS3 it was not Obscure, it was one of the highest rated titles for it. its only downfall was all sequels where released on hand helds and not the PS3. Of course not everybody enjoys strategy games, so you may not enjoy it.

There must be something that didn't gel with the average user, its one of those game that's pretty Highly rated and raved about, but it was never a HUGE seller (it sold good, not great). as a person he really liked it I'm disappointed it never found the audience I think it deserved, so a PC release is cool, hopefully it will get a few more admirer's, and maybe some of the handheld stuff will get ported too (and enhanced).

Yep, Sega doesn't do sloppy ports. In some cases, they're actually better than the console version. Sonic Generations for example, because it runs at the correct 60fps. They also have extensive experience with PC strategy games, thanks to the Total War series.

You've never had problems with PC ports like controller configuration problems or camera angle restrictions or FPS restrictions or any of the other issues that are stereotypically inherent with PC ports??

Either you're trolling or you don't have a lot of experience with PC ports.

Absolutely not. It's not my job to develop the game I just bought, so why should I need to take a bunch of extra steps to do something that the developers should have done prior to release?

What are you even talking about with nvidia depth? Who said anything about nvidia or depth?

Good post :thumbsup:

I'm not big on strategy games and I didn't own a PS3 so I guess that's why I know nothing about this game. Still, probably won't even bother.

 

[Anarchist420]

y'all are welcome

I got a good mosaic of good posts. As far as I have been concerned Sonic Generations and Sonic Heroes were the best on a PC (by far) with nvidia GPU in every way compared to the consoles. Last Bronx was good. VF2 was versatile on the PC. Virtua Squad 1 and 2's biggest issue was no light gun support. VF for the pc didn't give the option to look like the saturn version and that sucked.

plus you have emulators on the pc; they require some patience but i need to play more vid games like i used to.

let's please believe (i do) Shenmue 3 will come out even for the PC (soon as the console versions). we don't know what the DC version was like. as long as it doesnt go with cel shading at all or whitish out only then it could be the most loved of the 3.

no meds unless ordered or given by someone i trust and who i know isn't a title freak or a pro-institution freak; the psychiatrist i currently see is the biggest control freak on level with my dad when he was younger. He got all enthused like Bibi (who would team up with some saudi prince to kill anyone) when i asked for how to return the adderall and how to get vyvanse. Dr. Weiner was and is still really nice to him. I apologize to the Drs. Starkey and Chessen because they cared more for folks than my dad ever did. At least my dad's redeeming himself with the grandkids. akathasia may be a habit i learned as i am feeling stylish doing it now

also, i haven't been vomiting all over the toliet; that could be due to the surgery but i think ending a toxin called ariprazole (or abilify) may have ended the vomitting. scary now that i think of it

heh cool man

Of course I've had bad ports.

But, if you had an ounce of reading comprehension, you'd have read that Sega, the company in question, does not have this problem. In my experience. mmntech even chimed in to agree on that point. The point you glossed right over.

So again, be less ignorant.

Sonic Adventure DX is one of the worst PC ports in history. GTA 4 levels of crappy.

 

[Revolution 11]

The PC port for Valkyria Chronicles is now available on Steam for preorder ($18) and will be released on November 11, 2014. The normal price will be $20. All previously-released DLC are included in the purchase.

Please buy the game if you enjoyed it on the PS3.

[PowerYoga]

just the DLCs are worth the purchase price alone.

GMG also has a promotion going on as well, 23% off, bringing the price down to $13.86.

 

[el-Capitan]

I sold my PS3 two years ago and this is the only game that I missed!

I'm excited that this has now come to Steam. I will pre-order it.

Seems like a step in the right direction, even if its a small one

 

[JumBie]

Never played Valkyria Chronicles but I remember watching a review for it when it came out and thinking how beautiful of a game it was. Ill purchase this in hopes that SEGA brings some more games like this to the PC.

 

[Chocu1a]

I love another Sega Rally Revo. One of the best rally racers.
Updated with modern graphics? Yes, please.

I might pick up Valkyrie Chronicles, but what I really want Sega to release on PC is their action titles - because those have been compromised much more severely by the console limitations. Vanquish is at the very top of my list. Let me play it on PC at 120FPS in the display's native resolution and a bit of AA and AF, and despite the age of the original, I'll pay the price of a full new PC game for the port.
