Square Enix is planning the “revival of major IPs,” according to its “Road to 2020” business presentation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
Under the “Segment Goal / Business Strategies” section of the presentation, Sega outlined the following major points in the digital games and packaged games fields:
Quote:
Packaged Games Field (example titles: Total War: Warhammer, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, Football Manager 2017, and Persona 5)
- Expand existing IPs and obtain new IPs for North American and European PC games
- Build revenue base by being entrusted with outsourced development
- Challenge for new IPs
- Revival of major IPs
- Effective utilization of development engines
Digital Games Field (example titles: Puyo Puyo!! Quest, Hortensia Saga, Chain Chronicle 3, and Phantasy Star Online 2)
- Create titles that will become global hits
- Establish digital marketing business
- Expand overseas publishing business
- Maintain profits through long-term operation of existing titles
- Develop next-generation titles
A “major issue” Sega says it will tackle is to “create titles that will become global hits.” To do this, they plan on reviving past IPs and actively utilizing existing IPs, new IPs, and external IPs, and maximizing the value of said IPs by expanding development channels (mobile devices, PC, and game consoles) and regions of the respective IPs’ development for a global simultaneous release.
Elsewhere in the report, Sega said that sales of Persona 5 and Total War: Warhammer performed well in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, and total unit sales were 10.28 million, surpassing the figure in the previous fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, Sega plans to further develop sales of Persona 5 overseas, and plans unit sales of 11.6 million with titles like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, Endless Space 2, and Total War: Warhammer 2 set to release.
Well, so far, Sega haven't embarrassed themselves too much, so I'm going to be quietly optimistic they don't just try to, as you say, put social crap in everything... we'll see.

I would love to see the Yakuza games on PC. It was one of the few series that makes me miss not having a current gen console.

I would love for them to make more Majima games, or more prequels that are Majima centric.
But yeah, Sega hates money and refuses to go PC for their best games.
Granted that's mostly that one character and also due to the artist having that as a bit of a thing for his more adult content.
As for the actual good Valkyria Chronicles games I think those are still kind stuck on handheld because Sega is being slow with porting or remastering the games.
EDIT: Begone titties, ease up the scroll-wheel usage by a fair bit.

The fuck? Is that an official image of Selvaria? She didn't have giant knockers in the first game if I remember correctly. Or is that just some fan art shit?

“We have a wishlist [for most-wanted re-releases], and one of the first games that we brought out [from that list] was Valkyria Chronicles. That came out on PC, and the appetite for that game on PC led to it coming out on console as well, and now we see that the franchise is becoming really healthy.”
...
“That triggered renewed interest in the West for [Sega’s] Japanese titles, and they started to go to a bigger audience in the West than they had, say, 10 years or 15 years ago,” continued Clark. “It was encouraging for us and for Sega in Japan to see that. I think that influenced and gave us leverage on the kind of titles we could bring out, titles like Shenmue.”
...
“There are more games on the list, there are more announcements to be made, and we’re just happy that we can bring out Shenmue I & II now.”

How about announcing Valkyria Chronicles 4 for PC fuckwits...
Not before the 1 year exclusivity I'm guessing, double buying the game and all that but I would not be surprised if VC4 comes out on PC though after a year or so from the console versions release.
Maybe he meant PSO port..Updated though for newer PCs etc..
And still no JSRF port... I KNOW there's an emulator out there and the ROM somewhere too (wich has some security to get it...) but it's not even completed (the emu)

That and some of the PSP games
Also the Shining Force III and Gaiden, and some of the ARPG's (why the frag not).
And yeah, i know what is available on Steam, but none of those are the enhanced/remade versions. Those are the original versions.
*With a cup of fake wine on hand* Well, take your time with the JSRF HD port now, SEGA...Beated it yesterday on an Xbox emulator in little bit more than 8h..Is a bit worse than the original JSR but after 15 years now i can die in peace~
