Suikoden discussion - #deadseries

[Zealot]

Oh I don't think so.

I don't care if the anime is great or if it's garbage. I don't care if the mobile game is gacha trash or a masterpiece of the genre.

I will spend as much money as it takes for Konami to say "ohhhh, so they DO want more Suikoden."

[Tyrath]

We're counting on you our BG whale. I will await the fruits of your labor

New game in the series after so many years being mobile is a kick in the nuts for the fans, but it's very on par for Konami and the times in general. It's still more than I expected to see though. I don't care if the game dies fast if they at least get to tell the whole story they have in mind.

I mean, Fantasian was a Apple Arcade title and it turned into a pretty solid console release a while later. So at least there is precedent now where that can happen. I hope that the delay just isnt 3+ years or the iOS/Android platforms are more of a project "safety net" and that console ports will come shortly after.

Konami does a lot of dumb things, but I would think investing in a stage play, an anime, a manga adaptation, and a orchestra concert is for something more than a mobile title.

In hindsight, this 1+2 delay from last year may have initially been about respect for Murayama and Eiyuden but after fan feedback and interest they started work on these other projects and put together this step plan.

First mainline entry in forever and it’s a fucking mobile gacha game. I fucking hate Konami so much.

[Zealot]

There were too many damn teases in there for a Sukioden III remake/master to be in the cards at the very least.

Suikoden VI is still not a given, but it feels like something that could become real instead of an impossible dream.

Anyway, my copy of 1+2 has been shipped, so I now need to find a way to clone myself to play this and MH at the same time

The delay was 100% them underestimating the amount of work it would take to fix up the game for multiple languages. (and general resolution/ui updates)

One positive thing I did hear is that they worked on adjusting levels of some of the sound effects. hopefully that loud ass confirmation sound has been neutered.

I'm still waiting for performance reviews for switch to see which to order.

It feels like Suikoden has to be played on Playstation, but I'd be more likely to play it on switch.

[Tyrath]

PC master race over here.

I know Eiyuden was a different studio but that game was horrific on the Switch

[Julian]

I've heard performance on Switch is pretty good. Some French store released the game early last week.

Had the 1+2 remaster wishlisted for a while now, but haven't pulled the trigger on it. Any verdict on quality at this point? Unexpected QoL? Probably going to wait for a sale in general, but if they didn't pull punches, it won't be til some 50%+ off kind.

[Kaslo]

From what I could see is both Switch and PS5 run fine (Switch may have slowdown in a couple scenes with a ton of fire), but PS5 has higher framerate (although not sure how much that makes on a pixel art game)

I have like 10 hours on 1. I'd say it's a proper (as they didn't make it worse, although I saw people complaining about some translation changes) but also a safe remaster. Kinda wish they improved inventory management the most I think. Some choices are pretty weird too, like auto save that works only on screens with save point - basically saves you the time to interact with it I guess, lol.

[Koul]

It's about as much of a "remaster" as Chrono Cross is a remaster. I bought it because I want Konami to see that there's still a demand for the series but we all know that probably doesn't matter lol

[Tyrath]

Finally started on the remasters. 1 is great but the inventory and the rune limitations are still frustrating AF

[Andalusian girls]

my backlog is horrendous but i've been wanting to play these bitches for a decade the temptation to waste money is whelming

[Tyrath]

Just do it fam.

I am racing to get as much done as I can before Xenoblade X hits next week. I've been waiting for a decade to replay that

[Gokulo]

Thankfully (or not), Suikoden 1 and 2 are not very long
