Good sharing!

Good news indeed... will get it =)

gonna get this and replay again... with a controller. just like it was originally made for
anyway, hopefully it won't be just a crappy port like what's been too much already
and hopefully they remake the 2nd and 3rd installments

I don't own a console so I'm glad I'm able to play it on pc

Cant wait for this.

I did played it on PS3 long time ago and it was quite good, now, I want to finish it on PC.

You didn't finish? How could you.

One of the sleeper hits for ps3

hope the price is about the same as ff13 or lower

I only get to play like 1 hour. That time I was playing at someone's house.

Anyone not buying this (legally) is a dirty Darcsen.

This game deserves my money again..
Hopefully people will support it and get the 2nd to come on Steam. As well as the 3rd to be translated

me bought too, me want preload, me think 34.20 is too cheap to be good for such an epic game

Already pre-ordered this.

11 November is not too far away.

Steam?

I have the original PS3 version. Finished playing the game 4 times now. Still coming back for more. Maybe it is time I sell the PS3 version for the PC version. No need to turn on the PS3 after this

http://store.steampowered.com/app/294860/

Yes, bought it from Steam this morning. However, have to wait until 11 November 2014 to play.

lol does it make any difference really buying it now rather than say, 1-2 days before the offer ends?

it might have preload, but that doesnt affect much

Already on my wishlist. Will buy it during steam sales hopefully with higher discount price

Buy je. It also makes no difference to buy it now or later. Unless no money of course

Might be a decent port then. The poison is strong in this one.

Buy and support potentially more Japanese games coming to Steam.

Show them that they missed on the market and should release more games only.

Buy sahaje. You know the game is good
I can't wait to replay the game already.

Considering to buy actually. I did enjoy it with my brief playtime.

Would love to have Fire Emblem on PC if possible.

Its only 1 hour, lol.

Not enough to judge the game.

buy saje la, japanese-made games rarely have problems

Fire Emblem always on Famicom and Nintendo. Don't think they will come but this days anything is possible.

What do you mean by 1 hour? The amount of time you actually played is it?
Games pretty damn good man. I think I finished all the sides and main story in like 50 hours or something.

Yeah, I only played an hour.

In some desert map with a lot of tank battles. The tank are quite fun, feels like Battlefield.

The voice acting is really cringe worthy though.

Price for this game also quite reasonable. Around RM35.

You are also not helping my wallet.

Can't deny that the price is reasonable. Plus comes with Japanese voice acting.

Helping you to get the opportunity to play and complete Valkyrie Chronicles.

Pay tribute to Lord Gaben. He demands it.

Preordered this. Reasonable price bundled with dlc and dual voice!

Last time play this game on PS3. Quite gooding but never got the chance to buy the DLC. Maybe buy again this time for the DLC since.

Buying for supporting more Japanese games to be on PC

Thumbs up. I also purchase game for supporting more PS3 japanese games import.

My sentiments too.

Hope to see more Japanese games (new or old) on PC.

Nice. I did not notice the DLC content there.

Looks like can sell my PS3 version now

Preordered. Hope the PC port is really good.

checked the gameplay video, looks similar to XCOM?

It is, it's contains many similar tactical strategy third person mechanics from XCOM with RNG and RPG elements. If you enjoyed XCOM you would not go wrong with VC.

It looked similar but it is kinda different.

It is more like turned based third person shooter. There is no strategic level like XCOM in VC while combat uses Action Points that wasnt in XCOM too. Probably Rei7 could explain better.

don't expect this game graphics to be like FF. i think this is a cartoony and normal graphics game. since many said this is a hit on PS3 and i'm supporting more J-RPG on pc, so i've pre-ordered. hope it's good though.

VC is RPG, while XCOM is not. Presentation and story wise VC is way better for me. Gameplay wise XCOM is good and I think VC comes a bit short. People really shouldn't compare VC and XCOM, the mechanism is not the same although they looks similar in terms of class system which doesn't work the same like XCOM. I really enjoyed pretty much everything about the game. The game gives some innovation and a sense of novelty for me back then. Story wise it's great, tactical wise great too, there is also a lot of randomness and stuff, there are also some issues but I don't think it's something big which everyone could actually overcome. There are some problem I know some people can't get pass a boss and stuff. Few reason you might actually hate the game might be because you hate anime and strategy games. Besides that it's a hard to hate. I'm pretty sure most will have a good time playing this game.

You pulled the trigger. Excellent.

@ superb game, one of the best on Ps3 but killed by idiot Sega for releasing downgrade version vc2 and vc3, end up killing the franchise themselves.

That the reason why Japanese GAming industry doing so bad.

If I remembered correctly this game have perma death right? If you do not save team member if he down for the next few round, then he will die. I think my last play through I do let somebody die to get the best sniper char.

Thats good, sounds like something that I want to play.

People probably compared XCOM to VC because XCOM is the only TBS on PS3 that is kinda close to VC in some ways. Both tactical heavy games but I think they are quite different. And the ads of XCOM with all the close action cam made people thought its the western version of VC.

Hopefully I'll enjoy it.

Definitely. Strategy games are become a rarity these days so I'll try my best to support them.

Have you preordered?

any leaked info on game graphic performance?

https://twitter.com/SEGA/status/527882762641219584

I have also pre-ordered eventhough I am unlikely to time to play even on release day. However, I would like to support Japanese games so that more of them can be on PC.

Like wise. If it is done with a good port. However, at the moment, it seemed to be a decent port.

Didnt know you had changed your avatar to a space marine from the Black Templar chapter.

Actually, I just googled it using image option (under Google, of course) and just uploaded it for both Lowyat.net and Steam.

soon... very soon...

pre load is up now, 18.5gb

My body is sooooooooo ready!

16.5 gb, preloading. so eng or jap voice ?

finished downloading, my body and soul are ready

My body is reggie!

No money for this yet but I'll keep in tact just to buy it soon to play.

I bought on Steam. RM34.20. The cheapest i think even compared to GMG and stuff.

Yeah that 10% discount.

what kinda game is this actually ?

Tactical strategy game that is inspired by X-COM where it has similar time units as that game and you always command a small squad but it has its own twist, such as you have to move and aim yourself to attack like a 3rd person shooter. If you like XCOM and anime, you'll probably enjoy this game.

I know this is far fetched but I kinda hope they port VC2 and VC3 into the PC somewhere in the future.

Well, if the sales of VC on PC is good, why not? There are guarantee money to make if the sales is good.

From what it appears so far, VC does seemed to sell well. Its top 10 on Steam now.

port impressions

Positive everywhere. Looking good, looking good

Going to play VC on my PS3 again.

Anybody know what time it will be unlock for those preloaded on steam?

Same time as stated on the store page;

That's longer than i thought. But thanks. 29 hours to go.

20GB pre-load.............

Finished the vanilla version on PS3 long time ago. Never tried any DLC. Patiently waiting for unlocking .....

Hehe lets be hopeful then. Probably VC3 localization will see the light

^ Not sure why there is a need for that trailer there. Surely will spoil people who hasn't played the first and 2nd in some way.

They have tank too.

If I am not wrong, game should be unlocked now.

It is listed as Now Available on Steam Store.

Yup can play the game already.

This game does have dual audio if you prefer Japanese voice.
But you can only change the voice at the title screen.

Japanese voice is of course recommended.
English voice are pretty good as well, since I played this game with English voice a few years back.

omg thanks!

Not sure if you knew abt it but this one runs concurrently with VC1(story wise). Then again I will agree that it will somewhat spoil some people who have not touched the 1 and 2nd game. My bad

yup!

about 10mins ingame
native support for xbox and gamepad except ds3 and 4
translation slightly off, but not a big issue
so far i would give 10/10

I've played them all even the 3rd one, although I don't understand much of the kanji's that time.
It does spoil a bit, and since most probably haven't played it yet or finish the game yet, it's good not to spoil them.

Agreed, I have removed them

//////////////////

If you guys are facing squeky sound effect during game, you might wanna change ur audio to 48khz just like below. Lets hope a speedy fix in place

The port is amazing. VC plays like how a PC game should be with full 1080p and 60fps support.

The only problem is, the menus can be a bit awkward to use on keyboard and mouse. The mouse sensitivity is off too with some sort of acceleration but the key mapping in general is really good.

Dont have any problems with the 720p cutscenes as the cutscenes still look good.

The save menu though... Very very similar to PS3.

play with a controller, totally awesome



btw, i felt that the scouts are so op lol

later gonna continue playing in office

There's a new update this morning, size about 254mb. It supposingly fixes the sound effect issue. Will check it out later

Nice...Sega learns alot after their Binary Domain pc release.

well ported game... some notice about saving also mentions steam cloud.. glad they took the time to port it properly and professionally...

one problem is that just the mouse abit weird when using the tank to turn around.. but it's not a big deal...

overall review: had so much fun till too early in the morning :thumbs :

The tank controls are odd. I can't seemed to turn the turret. While I saw the AI did it. Still, the game is incredible so far. I really hope that they will bring Persona, Okami and Vanquish to PC with a good port.

I just need to stop treating my men as disapposable meat bags like XCOM.

haha yess especially the turning of the turret... it seems either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.. dont know which...

yes to persona and okami!! the only reason i suppork JRPG titles is because they are all so fun.. but i poorfag no console...

please port One Piece games also!

Yeah, the tank controls are kinda screwed.

I do want Vanquish too.

60 fps and 1080p will be a huge game changer for that game.

Tank is made hard to control I guess. But once you get the hang of it, maybe can pew pew pew.

I can see Vanquish and Okami coming out on PC.
Vanquish is really a underrated game but damn this game, best game with a good mechanism ever.
Okami no need to talk about la. Played on PS2 and even played the Okami-den on DS. Best game ever.
Persona might never come to PC though, I don't see Atlus doing it atm.
