Suikoden 5 being developed by Hudson and Konami TYO

Konami must be well into the production if they're already overdubbing voice acting. I'd think that voice acting would be one of the last things they'd do. I mean, the script has to be more or less finished, with the scenes all mapped out and whatnot.

I'm most curious about what the timeframe is going to be. S4 really threw a monkey-wrench into the series, going far back in time and being essentially unrelated to the previous 3 games. You'd think that Suikoden 5 would shed some light on *why* Konami decided to go back 150 years for S4.

I have few requests for S5, but I have to say, I hope they leave Viki and Jeane out of it. I'm sick of them, and they're stupid secrets. Out with those 2 already. They can teleport to Pesmerga's house and live in mystery forever, for all I care.

Things that i hope to see in Suiko 5:

1. I want Sierra to be in the game

2. I want it to take place in Harmonia

3. I want the battle system to be like in Suiko 1 & 2.

4. I want it to take place 5-15 years after Suiko 3 to give us some sense of continuity.

5. Another Trinity Sight System would be COOL!

Things that i hope is not in the game:

1. A short playtime( i want it to last at least 60 hours )

2. Lame voice actors.

Anyway, i hope Konami surprises us all and delivers a Suikoden that surpasses previous Suikoden games.

"Konami must be well into the production if they're already overdubbing voice acting."

I don't know about well into production (even though they could be) but that's why I said we might get something at E3. I mean if all this information is acurate, then a voice actor would indicate a trailer or something is being made.

Har ...har...har... Suiko 5 in progress....i luv it !

I don't wanna it will be set in Harmonia..... i need more mistery, contoversy, and more character heheheheheh
By the way wish the next game have more true rune....
And ofcourse FEMALE Tenkai Star heheheheh it's time for woman.... and we can customize the main character look hehehehehhehehe

Here are some of my suggestions
-a customizable hero (you can pick their sex, outfit, weapon among other things)
-a customizable castle (you possibly could make it into a castle like S1, or a city-castle like in S2 and S3, you could possibly even make it into a boat, but the boat could like be for when you are at sea...)
-the 6 member battle system (I wouldn't mind if it was as fast as S4, as long as they have spell animations)
-better spell animations then the last game (could be short, but better looking, like the other games)
- I had an idea about "failing attacks." Instead of the typical "MISS" you could see an animation where like they trip or something like that or like get caught up in the attack.
-Like multiple attack types per person (if someone has a weapon that can be thrown, such as knives, from far away they could throw them, but close up they could attack normally).

that is all I can think of right now.

compared to say games like MGS3 suikoden 4 was really a slipshode production for Konami. i understand that since its an RPG it probly has more to put in it than other games but 4 really could have been alot better as long as 5 has more work put into it and a few things goten rid of an added i think it would be a good game.

This is great news! Let's only hope that that tiny deleted blurb is true. I really don't want this series to end, especially after 4 being a prequel that didn't advance the main story in the timeline post-SIII, so I can only hope that V will in fact be made. It seems the "Rumors Shelter" portion of this web site will get back into high gear once again! :D

I think it's great that there's going to be a fifth installment of the suikoden series.But hopefully the game producers dont rush it.I'd rather have a game that I have to wait a few years for then a mediocre game that doesn't intrigue me.That's just my oppinion though.

[John Layfield]

That's true, but, by tradition, Suikoden games are always rushed. Which seems a bit strage. For a game that doesn't seem to factor very high on Konami's priorities (even though it always sells out with the miniscule amount of copies they produce) they seem to be very strict on its deadlines. Would it really hurt them to say "Do you know that RPG series we have? Yeah, instead of November, it's out in December. What a world!"?

Here:

-Should have trinity
-More gametime
-Good dubbers.I really went into an uproar of rage and confusion, when i heard Shiramine's voice.
-More variety of enemies
-More lottery prizes
-MORE ANIMALS!!!!Suikoden 4 only gave us the cat in Razril..
-Yes, a customizable HQ, where you can put decorations and antiques all over the place.Not just in your room,the bath, and a decoration room
-TOILETS, people, TOILETS.
-More vessels of transportation.Example:Ship,or carriage or wagon or something.Maybe a rune-powered car???
-A BETTER storyline than 4.
-Harder bosses
-Huge world map,like in Suikoden 4.
-Don't have to encounter enemies so frequently like in 4
-Anyways, in most cases, make it NOT LIKE 4.
