Valykria Chronicles Shunning Consoles for Third Entry

[Metaphor]

You know generalization is bad right? I'm one of those "fanboys" I guess, but at the same time I haven't seen anyone blaming the PSP for the weak story of VC2, and assuming as much is rather well... mentally deficient of you for claiming thats our reason, and/or them for using such a reason in the first place.

NOW you can blame Sega for going for the teen audience in Japan with the general tone of the story, then again even the Japanese audience for the game is hating the fact that Valk 3 is on psp still.

Oh I see. Let me change my point slightly - most of the comments that /I've seen/ against VC2 have to do with the weak story. We must browse different sites.
It's stemming from the idea that VC3 will be the same as VC2 /because/ it's on the PSP. Which could be largely untrue, seeing as how we don't even know much about it yet to make that kind of informed opinion.

Other than not seeing Canvas HD for a while longer, we haven't exactly "lost" anything by not having Valkyria return to PS3. Quicker production times I'm all for.

I could blame SEGA for going for the teen audience, but I won't, because it SELLS. And selling is the most important thing SEGA has to worry about. You wanted more games like VC1? It's a shame that game didn't receive as much support. That ship has sailed. One day, when enough money has been recuperated through the PSP sales, and the fanbase has become substantially larger, then we will see a return.

ugh. I have a psp and I'd still rather pay an extra 20-30$ to play this on the ps3 - even if the graphics were still only of psp quality.

This sucks. I hate handhelds, and I have no intention of getting one.

Exactly - why do people keep making sequels/prequels to console games on handhelds. Do they just assume that everyone has one? Surely the target audience for a sequel would be those who enjoyed the original? So why release it on a different system when there's no guarantee that people will own both? I've owned and enjoyed all 3 playstations but I have no interest whatsoever in the PSP short of it stealing all my bloody sequels!

Old sweaty balls to you, Sega. Now I'm not going to own 2/3 of the series.

I saw the trailer... I was underwhelmed. It looks like they're trying to shoe horn in a bunch of events taking place during the same time as the first game.

Thinking it over though it might work; as long as it turns out that you're not playing a Gallian.

I fucking hate it when sequels from consoles get shoved onto handhelds. I hate using the handheld unless i have to for its awkward fiddly controls and small screen. And there's no way in hell i'm going to buy a portable game just to continue the series, no matter how much i loved the original. Sega can fuck right off, i didn't get the second VC game because it was on PSP and i'm not getting the third. Not unless it comes out on the PS3 as well in some shape or form.
