Despite not selling anywhere near as well it should have, the original Valkyria Chronicles (VC) on the PS3 is hailed as being one of the console’s best titles; especially among SEGA fans. So the move of Valkyria Chronicles II (VC2) to the PSP was a tad controversial. Such an epic start to a game franchise couldn’t possibly translate to a handheld device, could it?
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Great review, it was an interesting read. Definitely got me interested in the VC series. Seems like it's worth buying a PSP for.
Sad that it went to the psp. Although a great game, I felt it was restricted by the psp platform.
I've always meant to try the first... but seriously, the sequel is only on PSP? That sucks! Why would they do that?
Sucks that it's on PSP, but good to hear it's still great.
