Yes its a new sega IP that so far looks incredibly impressive.

Here's a trailer for Sega's Senjou no Valkyria, or Valkyrie of the Battlefield in English, which is a mix of strategy RPG and third-person shooter, apparently influenced at least in part by Gears of War. I don't know about anyone else, but they had my money as son as the hand-drawn tank started rolling. It looks freaking amazing. It's odd how my favorite games of this generation so far have got nothing to do with hyper-realistic graphics, despite that being the target of each successive leap in technology.

Yet ANOTHER reason I need to get a PS3 (Besides Kingdom Hearts and Sonic 2006).

I mean, I wouldn't like it if it was a FPS, but TPS is different (Is TPS even a gaming term?)
On a side note, the main character (the girl at the end) is pretty hawt. *bricked*

Its a shame its on the PS3 for now, I'm hoping for a port or something but I'm no getting my hopes up.

Whoa, so far I haven't found many reasons to buy a PS3 however this builds up on that list and may turn me to getting 1 cause it looks amazing.

[Truesonic]

It does look amazing, the whole art style is nice. I'm also curious as to the story and if this will become the a great new Sega Ip ya know?

This game is coming to the US exclusively for PS3...

Very nice trailer.

The game has a nice look to it, nd the gameplay is looking ok, but I there want much shown. Anyway I hope it doesnt just get the US then stop and not get over to Europe or something like that because I'm still interested in this game.

Wow, something else that's urging me to get a PS3. >.>

It looks brilliant, in my opinion, the only thing I worry about is lastability: is it gonna be a game you play through and then bam, done? Obviously they'll have some sort of multiplayer, but will it be worth it over any other game?

Time will tell.

*excitement*

Oooooo.... Looks quite dramatic.

Hmm... I guess it also shows the good titles that are split between 360 and PS3 are PS3 exclusive.

Come this Autumn we'll be doing far more than drooling, as Sega announces the rechristened Valkyria Chronicles for the North American and European PlayStation 3. The game tells the story of a hero named Welkin and the members of the Federation's 7th Platoon, as they struggle to stop the evil Empire from taking over a small neutral country. The game's stunning graphics are courtesy of the Sega -developed CANVAS engine, which simulates a watercolor painting in motion. As for gameplay, the game uses a new battle mechanic called BLiTZ, which allows players to move around the map and attack enemies using real-time controls. If the game plays as amazing as it looks, the PS3 might have one hell of an exclusive come this Fall.
