Sega announced that Sonic Lost World is coming to PC earlier today, however, within that press release was a small but interesting tease.

“We’re delighted to be able to bring Sonic Lost World to PC,” said John Clark, VP of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe.

“This is the latest in a string of high quality PC ports of past SEGA titles that we will be building on in the coming months and years.”

While titles of games weren’t mentioned, it makes you wonder if they’ll port games like Bayonetta, Vanquish, or something from the Yakuza series. This is probably the result of Sega’s experiment in porting the original Valkyria Chronicles to Steam, which the publisher said was a “phenomenal success.”

What Sega games would you like to see on PC? Sound off in the comments below.

Valkyria Chronicles has shown them the way, unfortunately it's SEGA we are talking about here - who couldn't even get VCs summary right - so I give it a 50/50 chance of actually porting worthwhile titles.

I don't know anything about any of these games but if there's a chance of at least one decent game coming to PC because of this, why not?

Yakuza series or GTFO. That is all.

Likely Sony money-hats at this point.

Sega has plenty of PC ported content on steam, some of it even semi-popular. He probably meant that the VC series could see future ports, sequels, and expansions.

Well, there are already two psp game but these will probably need more work or people will complain about graphics and last one wasnt released beyond Japan.

I don't want ports from SEGA but I do want Alien: Isolation 2 and the Obsidian Aliens RPG.

VC was a very fun surprise that I never would have found without the Codex review.

Hopefully this is a sign SEGA is starting to get their shit together.

That said, in my 30 years of casually observing this industry, I have never been given any reason to suspect that SEGA is an even marginally competent publisher.

But I would love to be proven wrong on that.

Oh, right. I should have posted this here too.

:necro:


Among recent Steam leak, you can find eight apps named "Little Stone Sega Test App".

https://steamdb.info/app/267240/
https://steamdb.info/app/267260/
https://steamdb.info/app/267280/
https://steamdb.info/app/267300/
https://steamdb.info/app/272110/
https://steamdb.info/app/272130/
https://steamdb.info/app/272170/

Little Stone is the company that did PC port of Valkyria Chronicles. So possibly these entries are for "a string of high quality PC ports".

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Please let SEGA have at least one person in charge who has a functional brain. Amen.

The VC port couldn't have been a coincident aimed only at promoting the new non-VC-spinoff-of-VC. Am I an idiot for having hope?

If that will happen I wonder how it will turn out. Since its psp game it graphics are much worse than first VC. On the other hand after Sanic I guess they may release pretty much anything.
