Suikoden Released on PlayStation Network

[Octavious]

I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, (just got the email myself from PSN), but it's $5.99 and if you've never played it I suggest you give it a playthrough. I'm actually pretty psyched it's so cheap b/c I've been having trouble finding a affordable copy to own, since I sold mine a long long time ago. Anyway, I figured I would pass it along.

Fantastic. This was one of only a few RPGs that I played, enjoyed, and never bothered to purchase. It had slipped through my fingers, but no more!

Question for PS3/PSP owners. Are PS1 games from the PSN playable on the PSP? IF so, I think I may finally pick the handheld up for portable Suikoden.

I'm kind of curious myself. I'm going to be picking up a PSP after this weekend and I want to mod it / DL lots of PS1 titles. Is there anything I should watch out for Xav? I noticed people saying you couldn't mod the new PSPs?

[Merovingian]

as far as i know all Ps1 game can be use on the psp.(Ps1 games from the PSN that is)

[gt_killa]

Yes. All of the Ps1 games can be play on the PSP. You'll need to get an eboot version of that game, which available pretty much everywhere after some digging. I got most of mine at pspiso.com

[Mayareira]

Yep, you don't need any special modification to play PSN-bought PS1 games on PSP.

[Beckwin]

they need to put suikodenII on psn because I've never gotten to play that (own suikoden1 though)

[Hiryo]

Never played Suikoden or really any ps1 rpgs(i only owned Threads of Fate and borrowed a couple games from friends.) I'm looking to drop a few bucks on a PSN game since i got jack squat for christmas <.<. Can any of you describe what i'd be getting myself into?

[Rhinox]

its an awesome game with a shitload of playable characters and a few fun minigames

[Xno Kappa]

Probably being a little bit biased due to the nostalgic factor but one of the best RPG's ever.

[Arachna]

I heard it was good but never got a chance to play it, I hope it eventually goes on PAL stores if it hasn't already. The same applies for Xenogears, I really really want that game to show up on the PSN store someday.

[Xavier]

It might be a tough sell without at least a little nostalgia backing it up, but I loved Suikoden at the time of its release.

[Mayareira]

Never had a chance to play Suikoden I(Turkish 1$ PS game-pirates skip that first one for some reason!). Defnitely gonna check it out.
Will probably take months to complete though. Still haven't started w/ Chrono Trigger and Castlevania.

Suikoden is a great game. Wait until Julian notices this thread, he could probably write an essay about it.

I've already seen this thread, and I have no comment on this.

Well, ok, I have one. They should have just released the Suikoden1+2 slightly-enchanted-port that they made for the PSP.

I'm not paying $5 or w/e for a game I already have. I would have gladly payed $30 or $40 or however much a PSP game costs for the slightly-enchanted port which would have had bug fixes and a translation that wasn't written by a 9 year old.

suikoden II is still over $120 on ebay. if they ever add it to the PSN, i wonder how much they would sell it for

[Xno Kappa]

Probably the same as Castlevania SOTN.
I owned several copies of both Suikoden and made quite a buck on Ebay off it while still retaining one copy for myself. The selling price is going to be non-existent for anyone at this point minus the collectivist if II is also released on PSN.

[Elcura]

I still own my copy of Suikoden I and II, but by the now the disc is scratched to hell so it'll be nice to have a fully working version. Suikoden I holds up well today, as does II, but I'm sure nostalgia has a lot to do with it. One of the things that is good about it though is that even if nostalgia factors in it's still a great game when replaying it.
