Aug 15, 2008

Sega sent over a friendly reminder that Valkyria Chronicles has an official release date. We'll get a chance to pick up in English on November 11. Spencer of Siliconera spoke with Christopher Kaminski, Associate Producer of Valkyria Chronicles, to find out if the downloadble content recently released in Japan would find its way to North America. He replied with, "No comment yet." Kaminski confirmed the content will not be on the retail disc though when he answered Spencer's follow up question with, "No, that content won't be on the disc." Valkyria Chronicles won't have any localization differences either. "We translated it directly. We wanted to stay true to the original. As a matter of fact we keep the original Japanese in there."

"Valkyria Chronicles PSP was not a real game

from Sony themselves sent to IGN:

NOTE: The PlayStation 3 game Valkyria Chronicles was shown at the event as a PSP title, but this was a mistake by Sony -- SEGA confirmed that this footage is from the PS3 game and there are no plans currently to announce a PlayStation Portable version of this game."

E3 08: Sega Blowout: Valkyria Chronicles (News)

Jul 16, 2008

Destructoid writes: "Valkyria's story focuses on Welkin, a soldier in the Federation's 7th infantry platoon that is working to keep the small country of Gallia safe from an invading Empire. There will be over 100 customizable characters that can join Welkin's force, and, thanks to the BLiTZ tactical battle system, you can control their real-time actions in addition to issuing standard tactical commands.

So it's a real-time tactical RPG? Sounds good to me. I just hope it doesn't have the same camera problems that Operation Darkness did. Valkyria Chronicles will be coming to the PS3 sometime this fall. And, according to Sony's press conference, there will also be a version coming to the PlayStation Portable, but there's no release date for that yet."
