The last few shots are real time graphics?

If they are, I don't think I"ve seen better cell shading than this.

I haven't played Naruto.  I guess I should it say it looks better than any cel shading I"ve seen from last gen.

Unless someone can accurately correct me, I've heard it's a tactical rpg-shooter hybrid thingy developed by old members of the Sakura Wars design team.

Also, I've heard that Vyse and Aika from Skies of Arcadia are playable characters.

I never really had much interest in this game until now...

Time to start scrounging up the cash for an 80 gig.

Chances of a 360 port?

It actually started out as a 360 title, but development was switched over to the PS3.

Not sure if people know this, but Vyse and Aika from Skies of Arcadia are playable characters in this.

I should have my game sometime next week, so I can't fucking wait. The game looks absolutely incredible.

Too Jappa for 360, but still possible.

Huh. The guy who directed Eternal Arcadia/Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast is the director of this, too.

I still think the graphics look really good.  Next gen consoles seem to fare better with this kind of graphics than realistic visuals.

so this is a typical SRPG?

Post by: bork on April 24, 2008, 03:45:19 AM
So it's more action-oriented than strategy-oriented?  How does it play exactly?  I pretty much hate strategy games, so I don't know if this is for me.

Dcharlie, post some action sequences.

PS3 exclusive in Japan.

But maybe not in the US.

I'll give this a whirl assuming it makes it over.  I expect my jaded-ness to turn me off of it tho :(

Sounds almost like a 3D Fallout? Am I correct in that observation?
Title: Re: Senjou no valkyrie [Ps3] pick up
Post by: Mondain on April 24, 2008, 10:09:41 PM
Valkyria and Yakuza 3 ported to 360 in the US, considering how awfully japan-themed games like Eternal Sonata and Virtua Fighter 5 sell on the system? never in a million years

Sega will never bother to make a port don't be delusional
Title: Re: Senjou no valkyrie [Ps3] pick up
Post by: Mondain on April 24, 2008, 11:14:12 PM
Valkyria was a 360 project at first but the platform was changed to PS3 very quickly

why would the Sega team who made this game make such a futile port when Sega will want to put their time and manpower on another project instead

Jotardo is just a mysterious man of contradictions.  He claims to pirate 360 games because he wouldn't pay a dime to play short, next-gen games yet he loves the PS3 library.  He hates Mario Kart because it's kiddy yet he thinks that Hot Shots Golf is the greatest franchise ever.

Early reports seem to indicate this is flopping in Japan.

So ill wait for the inevitable 360 port.
Title: Re: Senjou no valkyrie [Ps3] pick up
Post by: Mr. Gundam on April 25, 2008, 02:01:43 PM
50k in the first week. amazing for a 360 ga- oh wait.

Ouch. At least it's coming to North America in the Fall.

... on wii!

lol

given the FX, even then they ain't making much. The Japanese are F.U.C.K.E.D.

Domestic market is hosed.
Export market FX is damaging.
and they are last place in the tech standing.


I've already resigned myself to my favorite developers making nothing but DS games for the next five years.  It sucks.

Metal Slug 7, you could have been so much more then you are. :'(
