|
|
I'm surprised no one had made a thread already!
At the PlayStation Experience in Las Vegas, 6th of December, Sony announced that Konami are releasing Suikoden I and Suikoden II digitally across their platforms. They cite intense fan support from the Suikoden Revival Movement as the cause, and also the impact of the livestream-playthroughs of Suikoden I and II that Yuichi Haga, Online Content Producer at Konami USA, as the reasons for these releases. For the first time in English-speaking countries since launch, Suikoden II now has a realistic price and a new ease-of-access so that a whole new generation can play the two PS1 classics that we've had the fortune to love for a decade and a half.
The official announcement for the United States can be seen on the US PlayStation Blog, and the PAL version announcement can be seen on the Official Konami UK Blog. Hopefully those of you who no longer have copies of the game can get digital versions soon, and who knows...maybe the possible release of a new game isn't as ludicrous a possibility as it once seemed. _________________

I honestly hope these sell like hot cakes so Konami see that there is still hunger for the series to continue! |

Johnny, take a picture of your receipt (with sensitive info blacked out) and a screen shot of your Suikoden II purchase, and post them to Facebook, with Konami, Konami US, Playstation and Suikoden Revival Movement tagged. Things like that might cause Sony to put pressure on Konami for more Suikoden. _________________

I shall, but I won't be purchasing it until like probably a couple months from now. I need a Vita first. xD _________________ "Oranges can't fit into circles because rectangles are made of cheese." |

I hope they don't stop with just Suikoden I & II. They should put all of the games back into circulation and make them available for people who were unable to play them at the time. Increased visibility can only be a good thing for the series, and a little promotion wouldn't hurt, either.
At the very least, it should greatly benefit those who never had a chance to own the original releases and aren't willing to be extorted by third-party sellers. My only concern, though, is how they will look as playing old games on modern high definition TVs does not do any favours for sprite-based games.
If only we could remake them with high resolution versions of the classic sprites. _________________

Just play them on Vita (or down sized PS3 screen) and it's not an issue. _________________

Great News! Everyone should get a chance to play Suikoden II. Still my favorite game of all time. _________________

Such a cause for celebration. It took ten years. I can finally play both of them on my trusty PSP. _________________ my Suikoden collection |

I purchased both as soon as possible and sank around 80 hours into them... Sure, a dozen or so were for "grinding" purposes or rather farming of runes :-D _________________
