Konami Ruins Christmas

Posted on Wednesday, August 10 @ 14:31:07 Eastern by Heath_Hindman


Remember that Christmas you finally got home from two years of living abroad and went to a big party, then seconds after cracking a joke at uncle Greg's expense you loudly inquired, "Where is the ol' G-man, anyway!"? And everyone got really quiet and awkward, because your aunt Julia divorced Greg a year ago and no one told you? Yeah that was weird.

Now Konami is the one makin' it weird. In an interview with 4Gamer, Konami rants and raves about its upcoming PSP RPG Frontier Gate. "Wowee wow", the guys say in so many words. "Whoopee"! Then the topic moves to that is actually far more important to, you know, like basically all JRPG fans: what of Suikoden? With Final Fantasy apparently down for the count, something like a new Suikoden could be just what the JRPG doctor ordered. But that's when Konami revealed that the Suikoden team hasn't even been working together for years. That band was broken up years ago.

Suikoden Tierkreis, handheld Suikoden spinoff, hit the NIntendo DS to so-so reception in 2008, but the last time a numbered entry was released in the series was some five years ago with Suikoden V on PS2. From the sounds of this overdue revelation, fans need to look elsewhere to get their turn-based RPG fixes. A new game coming about would require either assembling an all new team, or pulling the old guard back together. The latter would of course require all other projects which now have former Suikodenites on board to be finished up. Either way, it looks like Suikoden fans are up the creek without a potion on this one.

    How succinct of you. I agree though, why do publishers abandon some of their most beloved franchises in favor of... well... ****.

    Well, nothing else really summed up my feelings quite as accurately and efficiently as those two words.

    For the same reason the Metallica shouldnt have made the "Death Magnetic" album... just cause you were awesome at first doesn't mean your awesome for always. Sometimes its just better to quit while you're on top, rather than keep pushing out progressively worse **** (Final Fantasy anyone?)

    You have a point MrrClean, but now we'll never know. I mean, yeah they weren't still as good as 1 and 2, but they weren't to the point that I was ready to cast off the series. I liked III and V. So, 1 in 5 games not being great is pretty good odds to me. Sure, they might have just spiraled down hill, but if they had continued being the level of quality they were at with V I would have been satisfied.

    I try to search for Suikoden VI info each year at some point, thanks for killing my dreams Konami. At least put Suikoden II on PSN.

    Okay, I'm confused. Does literally *everyone* put stars in their posts instead of curse words or was Rinnon's rage against Konami so great that it lept through the lines of the internet, into game revolution's web server and momentarily break the censorship system so that one lone "Fuck" got through so the world would know how big a travesty this is?

    Something about capitalizing the first letter.... I'm thinking the comment filters are either going to get revamped or wiped.

    ...nope, mine got through. I guess everyone just loves them damned stars. Still, I like to believe the rage thing.

    I just thought it seemed more polite to not post the actual curse words but leave enough so youd understand what the word is Im using. So, yeah, I guess, **** that **** then.
