1. DMC 5 announced. It's being developed by Heavenly Sword dudes, has a new art style and is officially marketed as "DmC". What.
2. Valkyria Chronicles 3 announced. For motherfucking PSP. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck.



So, uh, how's the state of PSP emulation?

Not to forget that the new Yakuza spin off game is gonna be another fucking Zombie survival game. What the fuck Sega? How do you go from making a spiritual successor to Shenmue with Yakuza into a zombie game? How do you do that? :retarded:

I don't fucking care. From what I've heard VC2 is Invisble War/Deadly Shadows all over again: small maps due to hardware limitations. Considering that VC maps weren't that big to begin with...

Wait, there was a 2?

Don't care about DMC. The game may or may not be good, but the very sight of Dante / Nero / Virgil makes me rage.

on a side note, just noticed something.

Virgil Nero Dante

Ve Nereal Disease

Coincidence? I think not.

Yes, there was a 2, an academy setting with shoujo like vibe lol

But if I recall ALL were commercial failures, VC sold something like 200,000 copies initially as VC2 sold about the same.

Might be doing better due to related merchandising that would explain they keep at it.

DMC is a bit odd but I suppose they just run out of idea and are just keep pumping them out due to name recognition.

Either way, not my problem.

^You forgot the development cost for handheld is significantly cheaper, so that same amount on handheld might make profit while on HD console it's not.

Maybe but handheld games also tend to sell a lot ... granted that the PSP have shitty sales, VGChartz shown that VC eventually sold nearly one million as VC2 sales reached 200,000 after a few weeks and then ended.

I do not think VC as a videogame series is selling, neither the PS3 or PSP games had enough sale for them to keep backing them.

Of course you are right that the handheld games do not require as much investment for development, that explains why VC is now a PSP game (not a DS game were competition is tougher) and its only a niche game to satisfy the otaku, I doubt VC3 going to be localized.

Well, the price of VC was dropped significantly and pretty quick though, I doubt they can cover the lost with cheap price like that, and the way they stick to PSP, they obviously coudn't.
