I'm kinda torn. VC4 gameplay wise is pretty much what I expect and what I love about the franchise, but I feel like it could've done more. It's a shame that I see this game as a safe bet; it's proof that Sega can still make a proper VC game beloved by the fans after the failure that was Azure Revolution. The Canvas engine is showing its age; visually, it doesn't look any better than VC1 if at all. The UI is mostly the same, and the dialogue scenes are pretty much the same.
Maybe if this game sells well and a VC5 is announced, some changes will be made. I would love a remaster of VC3. But for now, I'm grateful for VC4's existence. |

VC2's only fault was the plague of certificates and stuff. Having to farm stages for specific titles to get ONE rank up, for each member in your squad? Bleh. The story wasn't too bad, ableit predictable and overused.

Besides, the art style they use for the Canvas engine is such that it'll look good even years from now, simply because it tries to be aesthetically appealing rather than photorealistic.

I like the demo and am glad they went back to the first game, in some respect.
I absolutely hated VC2 and VC3. Those games derailed from what makes VC fun, grinding units ruined it for me. VC3 would have been a good game, if it ignored everything that VC2 brought to the series. |

Official tweet with video featuring the Squad 7 DLC
Isara still adorable as always, and this time more deadly.

Bah, no definitive word on if the western release is dual-audio yet? I’m trying to decide if I want to wait for the west release for English text, or the JP release for the JP audio.
EDIT: Nevermind, Sam Mullen already confirmed that VC4 will have dual audio. That means less strain on my wallet, and I have a huge backlog on anime and games so I don’t mind waiting until this fall.

Fortunately not for me. (no more than now, anyway) I usually just red box COD and Battlefield and play the single player campaign, and maybe try a bit of the multiplayer.

Also welcome would be a higher-level tactical title similar to EndWar... Quote:
Good to know; hopefully the PC version will be not too far behind that. It appears that the environment will have actual practical effects - i.e. blowing snow reducing visibility, and maybe even avalanches set off by careless (or not so careless) fire. After all, if the player can leverage such things to their advantage, there's no reason the OPFOR can't. There also seem to be segments with basic stealth mechanics; this is a good thing. To be fair, most folks interested in this game won't be too concerned about those other series. Now, if we were talking about sharing a release window with, say, a major XCOM expansion...

Valkyria Chronicles 4 Season Pass announced
Sega has announced a Season Pass for Valkyria Chronicles 4, which will grant users access to four pieces of post-launch downloadable content. The Season Pass will cost 4,000 yen, which is 1,000 yen less than what buying each piece of additional content by itself would cost, and be available when the game launches for PlayStation 4 on March 21 in Japan. https://gematsu.com/2018/03/valkyria...pass-announced
