too sweet, never expected them to give another suikoden entry a serious budget after the last two games did so miserably commercially. story seems interesting too, with the army getting defeated at the start.

I read about this a few days ago, and was shocked at the lack of thread action. Glad to see this... I certainly hope this hits the states.
I haven't played a Suikoden since number three, probably because word of mouth didn't hype me for the latter two and Tactics, but this looks pretty good.

Looks like the artist that did some anime work like Eureka 7 is the guy on this one.
Because if so I am so over all of this. Got the original Suikoden for my Playstation.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
actually, suikoden I + II were releasedfor the PSP in japan, but i think it didnt do overly well.

I'm half amazed they keep releasing it despite the love I have for II which kicks the shit out of any PS one or two era FF games.
Are those 3D graphics by the same people who did the FF remakes? They looks pretty similar.
Anyway, I wonder if they'll take advantage of the touchscreen for anything. Maybe the army minigame?
Looks beautiful.
5 is a return to form and cleanses the series from the filth that is 4 and the wrong doings of 3.
I rate the games: 2 > 5 > 1 (no nostalgia here!) > 3 > 4
See, that is the opposite of giving me a reason to play the other games; there's not a lot about Suikoden 3 I did not like!
Yea... I'd definitely switch 3 and 5 on that list, but that's just me. 5 did nothing for me... 3 gave me orgasms.
Once I got past the first 5ish hours.
I also didn't like its iteration of the castle.

I swear, they've planned out the Suikoden universe so well that they could probably tell you which way the wind is supposed to be blowing on any given day. I bet they have a book so large, filled with the entire Suikoden plot, that it would take a forklift to pick it up.
Konami has big plans for the Suikoden universe. I can't wait to see where they go next.
If they got the whole thing written out I highly doubt it, it's more like George Lucas having a vague idea and writing it as he goes and putting everything together. More or less it's the same here, hopefully unlike George they'll get it right.
actually, the guy with the plan has been fired durign the production of suikoden 3.
everything after that was made by people who basically have no clue what originally was planned for the future, that is why they moved the action so far away from the original suikoden areas.

That, and he never planed for Suikoden 1 to have a sequel. There never was a planned out story; it was just made up as they went along.
And I heard that he left voluntarily after getting fed up with Konami.

I will buy this one when ever it comes out.
Vandal Hearts and Suikoden sold me a ($300) PlayStation. Fuckin love both of them.
I loved Suikoden 5, enjoyed , played a bit of the original, and avoided the 4th like plague since I heard it sucks balls.
Or Suiko-Gaiden, but I guess that's way too obscure.

It's like taking the worst of all worlds.
I suppose in their defense, their third attempt was passable. And the maps here do look pretty awesome.

If you played (especially recently) the first game and enjoyed it, you absolutely owe it to yourself to play 2. 1 looked fairly ugly when it came out, and hasn't aged all that well. But 2 looked and looks pretty good, and fixed up a lot of the minor stuff that makes 1 a bit grating. And it's awesome.
---
Getting back to this, I have mixed reactions, but I'll probably purchase early barring absolutely horrific reviews, if only to support the main series.

Gaidens are good for having Seed and Sierra, looking pretty, and having some excellent introductions. Sucks for portraying Seed poorly.
suikoden tactics was nice, actually. i lost interest in it evnetually like with most SRPGs, but it was suikoden enough to leave a positive impression.
suikogaiden is jsut a text adventure form what i know, just watch the intros on youtube and that should basically cover the eyecandy.

I loathed Tactics, however that's mostly because I was still bitter about 4. In hindsight it was a passable SRPG but there are plenty better out there.
The good news is that konami is working on translation of the game already, they are targeting to release it in Q1 2009, so it would only be a few months.
the bad news is, i dont like what im reading and hearing at all.
first off, the game takes place in an "alternate universe", or the way id put it, they are screwing over continuity altogether this time around. there will alo be no true runes in the story...
Also, and this is what really makes me mad, the game is said to be mission based. That sounds like it might become a letdown like FFT for GBA and DS have been for me, for the compelte and utter lack of story or character development.
Also, the music in that trailer sounds horribly generic, when i hear suikoden i expect outstanding stuff (take this for reference of what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJil8-ARACc )
well either way, im still cautiously optimistic, but definately very sceptical over all this.

Suikoden was one of my favourite PS1 games. I never played any of the others, because I couldn't find 2. But I'm all over this one.

Half of that trailer was dialogue and anime cutscenes.
That said, well, everything else looks nifty. I like the style used for the cut scenes and character portraits and I like the overall color scheme as well. Also judging from that trailer it seems the main character is going to talk? If that's the case, I'm pretty much sold. Hopefully the characters and story are engaging.
(For the record- my order of love for the Sui series 3>2>5>1>
screw it no, I'm not even putting the torture that was 4 on this list. )
