After so many speculated that the next Valkyria Chronicles would return to its home console, Sega announced that Valkyria Chronicles 3 would launch on PSP instead. PS3 owners shouldn’t worry too much, though, as Sega wants to bring the series back to the console.
Valkyria Chronicles 3 director Shinji Motoyama told the latest issue of Famitsu that they want to bring the franchise back to PS3, but that a new entry would need to be a radical shift from the first game. The team has to come up with new ideas, he explained, which will in essence take time.
They’re making Valkyria Chronicles 3 for PSP because it’s easier to develop for, which will allow them to put out the game in less time.
Valkyria Chronicles 3 is currently slated for a January 2011 release in Japan. Whenever something’s said about a new game for PlayStation 3, we’ll be sure to have you covered.
Thanks, Play.tm.
This is good news for me. I know people wanted VC3 to be on PS3 (I did too really), but look on the bright side – Sega are making MORE valkyria chronicles games and eventually returning it to PS3. That can only be a good thing.
Ouch i saw the scans for it already and it looks so amazing…too bad it’s not for PS3…so far this is the only news that didn’t favor me much :/
I just saw the scans too and man, it looks 10 times better than 2 already.
I don’t think fans should worry too much about this being on PSP, it will still be 100% awesome, the scans look fantastic.
Plus the story is more darker this time ;p well i would still prefer it in the PS3 though :(
I agree with you, another Valkyria Chronicles on the PSP isn’t that bad really because Valkyria Chronicles 2 is such a great game. If they are wanting to bring the series back to the console than it’s also good to keep in mind that Valkyria Chronicles might be around for quite some time in the future.
finally :D
hopefully sega will incporperate all of the previous games elements and make it in one huge game.
so people you all better buy this if your hoping for a console release(which i will) :)
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is my favourite PSP game and with the look of this next installment Sega will not dissapoint, even if it is for PSP.
I would like to see Valkyria Chronicles return to PlayStation3 in the future because looking down brings the aches lol.
