E3 2008: Valkyria Chronicles showing during PSP line-up just a mistake

A simple blunder may cause some great, irreparable repercussions no matter the intent, and this one may just cause heartbreak to some fans: Sony accidentally showed Valkyria Chronicles as part of the PSP line-up, leaving the audience wondering if the great-looking game will indeed make it into the Sony handheld’s line-up. But it’s not meant to be: it was just a simple mistake. More in the full article.

Sometimes, simple bloopers may get some people terribly heartbroken. Case in point: the showing of the awesome-looking Valkyria Chronicles during Sony‘s PSP line-up press conference.

Valkyria Chronicles for the PSP? Awesome! But as it turns out, it was just a big boo-boo from Sony, and the game won’t be going to the Sony handheld anytime soon. In fact, there apparently is no obvious word that Sega has any plans of bringing it to the PSP at this point.

Apparently, Sega – Valkyria Chronicle‘s publisher and developer – wasn’t too pleased with what happened during the PSP press conference. When asked about the blunder, Sega’s president Simon Jeffery said that Sony will be getting a good dose of talking-to soon as Sega gets hold of them.

Well, that’s too bad. Have you seen any of the Valkyria Chronicles trailers yet? It’s practically one of the better-looking games that are scheduled to come out, although this is because the video is meant for the PlayStation 3, so we guess that doesn’t count. Still, it sure would be a nice addition to the PSP gaming library, don’t you agree?
