It's a good sign.

We also have to remember, Suikoden VI is not officially in development. The only clue was a one line note in a Magic Box update some months back.

But too bad MGS 4 is cancelled :(
it's okay though, as long as Suikoden VI is not cancelled cause there was a 1/5 chance of it to be in the list :)

Metal Gear Solid 4 is not one of the title marked for cancellation. It's one of the titles still on the roster for development.

I thought the Suiko team announced they were working on SVI too?

Until I get actual word that Suikoden VI is gone I'm gonna live in oblivious land. But really, they've canceled a Gradius game?! Now THAT'S depressing.

This massive wave of cancellation from Konami is not really surprising with the rising cost in development of nextgen games. With Konami doing mostly console-exclusive titles it lessens their revenue returns. Though MGS4 will be multiplatform so that's the exception.

Its the rumor that won't die, especially after Kojima mentioned in the last E3 that MGS4 could easily be ported over for the 360 is Konami ever decide to do so. IGN and a few other places reported more of the same rumors of MGS4 porting over to the 360 months after its PS3 release. Similar to how the past GTA games were released for the Xbox.

It'll be a very cold day in California before Konami cancel the development of Metal Gear Solid 4, a very cold day indeed...

This makes me nervous. Although I still remain possitive that Suikoden VI won't be cancelled, this news worries me. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Suikoden VI has not been officially announced so that makes it kind of unless to officially cancel it.

Although i wonder what the "new RPG title" was going to be maybe a Vandal Hearts sequel?

No need to worry yet, i doubt with the success of Suikoden V winning awards and stuff they are hardly going to stop development. Besides all of these games might just be "cancelled for now" they may have needed extra staff to finish some other games in time.

Many rumors have been around like wildfire that DMC4 and MGS4 will be heading to the 360. The reason being that they need a lot of revenue to make up for development costs, and ps3 may not allow them to do that due to the fanbase number. They'll get more money if they release them on 360. Considering ps3 has lost a lot of exclusives in the past year, such as titles like Virtua Fighter 5, which has gone to 360 also, it's not entirely impossible.

"New Role Playing Game (PS3)
Role Playing Game (Wii)"

This is either very good news or very bad news. Either Konami decided to say to hell with all their rpgs or decided to pretty much drop all the the others except Suikoden.

I would have to say Suikoden is probably okay. If you will look at the list none of them say Suikoden and if they did cancle it they would have just came out and said Suikoden on the list.

I think konami just realized that Suikoden and Castlevania (if that counts) are the only rpgs they have that get much attention. I rember at konamistars boards that suikoden post and veiwers were in the thousands while the others were lucky to reach 100. Konami probably realized that Suikoden is its only rpg worth pooling resources into and decided to cut the other projects. If this is the case then than this is very good news as Suikoden will most likely get a very good bugdet and more help (if they haven't fired everybody who worked on the other games).

But quite the scare though. I am still a littled worried till they officially announce SVI.

I'm reserving a bit of room for panic, though, I would doubt that Konami would just up and cut Suikoden..Ephemeral Fantasia didn't do very well (even though I loved it..) so perhaps it's a sequel to that, like AA said.

Here's hoping for the best!

I don't think Konami would abdicate of one of their most selling titles (especially in Japan, where it sold more than, for example: Phantasy Star Universe; Xenosaga Volume 3; Valkyre Profile Lenneth(PSP); Tales of the Tempest (DS); Summon Night 4; Disgaea 2), and their reference RPG (since it seems that every game company in Japan must have a reference RPG and/or beat em'up).
