Valkyria Chronicles Ii

Tomorrow, Valkyria Chronicles will be released as a PS4 remaster in Japan, and today we celebrate the return of one of the best JRPG franchises of all time to home consoles with something quite special. You could call it a pipe dream.It’s fairly obvious that the release of Valkyria Chronicles 2 and Valkyria Chronicles 3 on PSP was quite detrimental to the continued popularity of the franchise in the west. While in Japan Sony’s portable was blessed with fairly strong sales, on this side of the Pacific Ocean it really wasn’t much of a commercial success, and most games released on it dropped pretty much under the radar of a large percentage of gamers.

Valkyria Chronicles II is a Action RPG video game published by SEGA released on August 30, 2010 for the PSP. It’s the second game in the Valkyria Chronicles series. Get the DLC here.

The author of this article legally owns both games, and a PSP to run them. An emulator was used exclusively for the purpose of this experiment.Now that we got that out of the way, below you can see the results. Keep in mind that remasters made by the actual development team at Sega would still look quite a lot better, especially in the texture department and in the UI. The emulator doesn’t have access to high resolution textures, it upscales them, creating a “posterized” effect. Fish tycoon magic fish. This wouldn’t be present in an actual remaster.Valkyria Chronicles 2 – PS4.

Personally, I think that the games wouldn’t look that bad, especially considering the arguably and relatively effortless porting process from PSP to PS4 and PS Vita. Of course Sega could do much more, with a full-fledged visual overhaul like the one done by Square Enix with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. Honestly, thought, considering Sega’s attitude towards the franchise, I would already be happy with this, and I would buy it without a second thought.What about you? Would you buy these remasters made on the cheap if the price was reasonable?
