With this and White Knight, looks like the PS3 will finally have some solid RPG's to play come Fall/Winter
We were also very happy to learn that both the original Japanese language track and the dubbed English track will be available when the game is released in the US.
http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2008/1240.htmlSega is currently readying downloadable content for its PlayStation 3 title Senjou no Valkyria (Valkyrie Chronicles in the US) in Japan. In early August a new episode as well as the hard EX mode will be available for download. The former will cost 600 yen ($5.56 US), the latter 300 yen ($2.78 US) to download.
Senjou no Valkyria has been available in Japan since April. A US release is planned for later this year.
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=8807434&publicUserId=5379721It's E3, and I'm picking the show's pitiful corpse of the few bits of meat that interest me, in the form of previews. Actually, the most interesting thing I've played so far is the one game I wasn't assigned to -- Valkyria Chronicles . I already loved its art style, but now that I've played the game I realize it's the world's most perfect combination of tactical strategy, third-person action, Nausicaa and unadulterated wonderfulness. Seriously, it's good, and the presence of Skies of Arcadia 's Aika as a playable character pretty much sealed the deal. Meanwhile....
E3 may now be over, but the games shown off at the event will be a part of our lives throughout this holiday season and beyond. One title that will occupy the lives of PLAYSTATION 3 owners for hours upon hours this fall is Valkyria Chronicles. This PS3-exclusive strategy-JRPG from Sega (to clarify, NOT a PSP game), is utilizing the power of the console to push its dynamic and visually arresting Canvas Engine.
The graphics in Valkyria Chronicles appear similar to an animated watercolor painting, with a bit of the colored-pencil-sketch action seen A-ha’s 1980’s “Take On Me” video. As you’ll see in the video below – it really works.
Speaking of the video, it features Sega Associate Producer Christopher Kaminski detailing the unique battle system found in Valkyria Chronicles – it completely takes the Strategy RPG genre “off the grid.”
We’ll have more on Valkyria Chronicles here on the PlayStation.Blog as we near its November release date.
