Tomorrow, Valkyria Chronicles will be released as a PS4 remaster in Japan, and today DualShockers celebrates the return of one of the best JRPG franchises of all times to home consoles with something quite special. You could call it a pipe dream.
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
The Valkyria Chronicles series holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers, so its heroines continue to get occasional figures.
Twinfinite Writes: With Fire Emblem Three Houses the series takes its first leap into a school life game, but there are other great JRPGs out there with a school setting.
Currently playing through Trails in the Sky SC, after spending 60 hours finishing the first. I want to jump into Trails of Cold Steel, but was told by several people that it's better to play the previous games first.
Finished Cold Steel II today.
I have some time now to finish the Crossbell games before Cold Steel III arrives in late October. I can't sing enough praise for the Legend of Heroes series. I have only beaten Sky FC a little earlier and gonna play SC soon too. I feel sorry for the fans of jrpgs that misses this hidden gem of a series.
I have been a great fan of Nihon Falcom since the elary 90's. One of the strongest japanese developers out there. But and support their games Kreygasm.
that s a good example for Sega to avoid...Sega put some money and remake them completely with the same or better depth and visuals as chronicles 1
Yeah just release them for very cheap. Especially since SEGA owns Atlus, who has an excellent translation studio in USA... they could easily translate and find excellent voice actors or Valkyria 3.
I would like the first one that was Remaster to be ported and release on Vita since I love the anime, and play these type of games on the go plus the gameplay is great.
I really hope this happens one day
I dont think the gameplay would be compelling enough for a non portable platform.
