Don't look so down, Selvaria! The fight isn't over yet! Just days after a Sega man supposedly confirmed the death of Valkyria Chronicles 3 as a potential US release, another Sega man has stated that "all hope is not lost" for the lovely little strategy game. Those words came from the lips of Sega community manager Aaron Webber at the New York Comic Convention, during an interview with the folks at DualShockers and members of the Gallian Liberation Front (a community group petitioning for the game) at the New York Comic Convention. While Webber couldn't make promises, he had this to add:
"The best I can say right now is 'Don’t give up, keep trying,' to all those guys out there, keep growing the cause, and we’ll see what happens in the future”
Check out this page for more on the classy things the GLF did to secure the words (including handing Webber physical copies of the 2000-odd signatures on the cause's online petition).

THIS. GIVE ME MY JET SET RADIO 3, SEGA.
TAKE MY MONEY !
No, seriously, please?
Also what Scissors said.
IF XIII CAN GET A SEQUEL, SO CAN JSR.
IF SYNDICATE CAN GET A REMAKE, SO CAN JSR.
IF FUCKING DAYTONA USA CAN GET RERELASED. SO. CAN. JET SET RADIO.
ILL NEVER GIVE UP, DAMMIT!
Also Epic how many time must I run this by you? We want Sega to make good games!
ALL THE REST OF YOU, YOU DO KNOW JSRF HAD A ROLLERBLADING DOG RIGHT??!
That will make that series worth a damn.
I didnt bother buying the PSP iterations because I dont have a PSP (Only had it for PEace walker, then sold it to get ready for Vita) :3
fingers crossed
Still, Sega has a chance to look like big damn heroes after this statement, and it'll be a shame if they pull a "Capcom" on VC3 at this point.
Yo man. Calm down. I love both JSR and VC so either series getting a sequel would be awesome. But note the problem at hand is at VC3 has ALREADY been released in Japan. All we want is a localization. There are several other companies that can do that, but Sega is not letting up. There are many of us willing to buy the game out of love for the series, so it's a bit frustating.
As for JSR, there is no sign of a sequel, so keep your fingers crossed and don't dismiss another series out of ignorance. Chances are you'll see a JSR3 before Shenmue 3 ever comes out (Fans of THAT series are the ones who are really suffering). Peace.
All companies should follow this plan for their PSP games.
My overwhelmingly low expectations of Sega outweighs my love for the Valkyria Chronicles games.
1) Announce that a beloved series won't be released.
2) Announce that "all is not lost!", but offer no guarantees.
3) Watch as your fans, who you will be charging premium price for and likely locking behind an online pass, do your PR work for you. Sit back and watch as people pay you to work for you.
Fans of the series wouldn't give a toss about a coat of HD either just port the PSP version to PS3 and they can have their/my money.
Let me guess you will release it in EU and give some non-answer like, well if it sells well there it isn't out of the realm of consideration.
Nintendo is already on my shitlist, you really don't want to join them Sega....
If you honestly don't consider it something that would make a decent release then DON'T FREAKING YANK PEOPLES CHAINS....
If you are seriously mulling it over and it is a possibility ..... DON'T FREAKING YANK PEOPLES CHAINS.......
This whole "oh we aren't going to do this ...... SURPRISE we did it!" marketing BS isn't making me want to do any business with those involved. In fact quite the opposite and certainly does little than tarnish your reputation in the long run.
tl:dr
Yanking peoples chains doesn't get you anything but negative sentiments even if you eventually release the game in question.
tl:dr:tl:dr
games or GTFO
Fucking SEGA, gimping its most beautiful new IP in years by converting it to a fucking handheld title.
You forgot: If they can bother to re-release Bass Fishing twice in one year, they can do JSR3
