Eurogamer Hands-On: Valkyria Chronicles

The screenshots don't do it justice. It's a common enough refrain, but it's become increasingly popular as new console hardware has offered us ever more lavish visual feasts. As the arts and sciences of animation, lighting, special effects and visual filters come into their own, there's less and less to be gleaned about how a game actually looks from a still image.

So it's understandable that "god, the screenshots don't do this justice" might be your first response when you get to play Valkyria Chronicles, SEGA's upcoming PS3 strategy game. In a sense, maybe it's ironic that so much 3D processing power is required to make 2D look so convincing - but irony be damned, this is a game which looks uncannily like every frame has been lavishly hand-animated.

I've been saying from the very beginning that this looks like a freakin' Studio Ghibli film! And really the screenshots do not do it justice... just like they say. Download a video of it on your PS3 if you really want to get an idea of how beautiful it is.

This game is looking to be pretty damn good. I'm definitely planning on purchasing this one but it's nice to hear all these previews that are very positive. Looks like it'll be another great holiday title!

Sega is great for relegating its characters to cameos in other games. Heaven forbid they announced Valkyria Chronicles 5 or remaster VC 2 & 3.
