In a crazy world where I made the decisions, I'd do VC/Stargate crossover sub-franchise to help boost interest and test out gameplay ideas, then pilfer the best features for a new mainline game that straight up retcons VC2 out of existence and progresses the timeline forward. I think taking a page from XCOM in terms of presentation and how the classes work (if there's anything VC desperately needs, it's branching skill trees with active abilities along with the dozens of passives) would do a lot to make the games feel much more impressive.

I dunno if Sega has the people, money, or will to actually commit to making VC a competitive turn-based strategy franchise in the current market. It doesn't help that the writing team is stuck on a tone and allegory that doesn't work for the subject matter, when they need to shift to something more like Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans tone and to just ditch the "Valkyria = nukes" nonsense that adds nothing to the stories.

It's literally the bare minimum (but very good) improvements over VC1 in every regard except storytelling, which is just as janky as VC1 but without the benefit of the "this is the first iteration" factor, which makes it look cheap as fuck and underwhelming compared to the competition. after XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2 raised the bar to the stratosphere. Like, the main problem with VC4 is that it's VC1.5 in 2018. While I hope there is still a future for the series, it needs to push forward a lot further, coming out with such a safe sequel after all that time just made the game feel a bit stagnant, there's still untapped potential here but we ain't gonna see it just remixing the original game.

Let me add that I actually did enjoy 2 for what it was, oh sure the plot and characters were donkey balls but there was a certain impressive element to cramming the general experience into a PSP and toying with the branching classes etc.īy the time VC4 rolled around my tolerance for the slow menus, constant cutscenes and in particular VC4's flavour of anime booolsheet was a lot lower, the new maps were fine from what I played and leant on some interesting gimmicks, yet I just could not will myself to push through even though it's ultimately a slightly better version of 1 gameplay wise when it comes down to it.

VC4 was a very odd sequel, it was the game that I wanted back in 2010 in place of the actual VC2 but arriving in 2018 (I think?), and by the time it arrived as a straight follow up to the style of the first game in a very iterative feeling fashion it was just too late.
