[Roman Empire]

Now, will they fuck up localisation somehow?

 

[StereoVsn]

What the heck happened I wonder. These are remasters, not remakes.

 

[trikster40]

About time, geez.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Putting money on all the panty shots being gone.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm hoping they took the time to make it right. Last thing I want is another Silent Hill 2 Remaster-esque abomination from Konami

 

[Roman Empire]

That would be expected. I still don't understand why old games must follow under the scrutiny of today's politics. They are a product of their time period and if you are willing to bring it back for appreciation of a new crowd of gamers, then you should keep everything that made it great for its time, the good and the bad. Not talking about quality of life updates or other stuff, more like content being reworked of removed while seeking the "modern audience" myth.

 

[saintjules]

What the heck happened I wonder. These are remasters, not remakes.

Bit of both. Some things were redesigned. If it were purely a remaster, then it would just be upscaling res, textures and maybe making it 60fps.

 

[Ailike]

In the time when this was supposed to come out and time it will come out they could've redone the entire thing. I wonder if someone spilled coffee on the backup or its being done by one guy in his spare time. Sheesh.

 

[Plies]

LET'S GO!!

 

[IFireflyl]

 

[Rran]

Also coming to Switch at the same time.

But yeah, geez. This was announced two years ago and it's still half a year away. But I'm interested; never played any of these and love JRPGs.

 

[ssringo]

I barely remember these games but I damn sure remember loving them and I still have my original discs in storage.

Yeah my bad I just saw the PS tweet but it's coming everywhere

 

[daxgame]

Let's go. My Switch is ready

 

[near]

Well, at least we know it's still alive. I can wait.

 

[MagusMajul]

I wish other RPGs would get this treatment such as Lunar and Chrono Trigger

 

[Plies]

Who owns Lunar these days? I thought GameArts was defunct..

 

[Krathoon]

Eh. They are changing too much stuff. I will stick with the original. They are messing with the art.

 

[BennyBlanco]

There is this from 2018

 

[graywolf323]

SoMoGa handled the port to mobile

Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch

Lunar: Silver Story Story Touch, the massively enhanced port for Apple and Android devices!

www.lunar-mobile.com

another game they ported, Vay, they recently brought to Steam, so hopefully Lunar gets the same treatment eventually?

Lunar 2 however hasn't had a single release since the PS1

 

[Yoshichan]

Holy shit color me SHOCKED.

I had no idea this was a thing. The original is such a mixed bag with it's bullshit difficulty spikes, but this version has a ton of QoL improvements (including speed up for battles, and apparently exp multipliers, healing on level up). Steam achievements, better translation... yeah I'm buying this. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[Krathoon]

I was totally fine with the Chrono Cross remaster. They only upgraded it a little bit and it was by the original artist.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Fucking Konami. It's like those 2 Truman Capote movies that came out back to back a couple years ago. Nothing for years but as soon as eiyuden comes out they spring into action.

Plus....no one played suikoden back when they came out. I was the only person I knew that had the 1st 2 on ps one. There's alot of Johnny come latelys, which is fine, but everyone pretends they were on the suikoden train when there's no way you were.

 

[nial]

I don't understand how this is just releasing 2.5 years after its reveal, but I won't be complaining if we get a better product in the end.

 

[Lynkk]

Is it just me or... it's not looking good? I prefer the original 2D from the comparison video.

 

[Labadal]

I want it, but I also want to wait for performance impressions. Localization edits is also a cause for concern, but as long as it runs well, I can forgive changed localization. (Some parts need to be edited.)

 

[Plies]

Konami still has eight months left to brush up the visuals.

Even the FF Pixel remasters looked rough from early screens, but in the end it turned out great.

Am I crazy? Was suikoden popular when it came out? I was too scared to keep playing resident evil, after I had begged my mom to get it. Went back to Gamestop maybe and traded it for suikoden cause the box art was unique

 

[Shadowstar39]

This was supposed to be out last year. What were they doing?

Also if Konami can get this and castlevania ds games on to switch, why does Capcom neglect mega man legends and breath of fire series? Those games aren't licensed, they own them. Why do they hate my money so?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Looks amazing. Day 1 on Switch. Physical. Fuck yes, life is good.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

What the heck happened I wonder. These are remasters, not remakes.

Announced early as vapourware just to distract from Eiyuden Chronicle.

 

[MagusMajul]

There is this from 2018

this port was a piece of crap, i am talking about something akin to the dragon warrior or ff pixel remaster

 

[kunonabi]

Not really with the godawful stuttering. I think these suikoden remakes are looking better than the last time they showed them at least.

 

[saintjules]

New Trailer from TGS

 

[Deerock71]

I'll get for Switch if it's physical. Steam Deck if it's not.

 

[saintjules]

 

[Kacho]

Early 2025 is ridiculous

 

[saintjules]

 

[Mayar]

I'm ready, you can launch it straight into my vein. Classic JRPG, I'll buy it on the first day.
If they really haven't made any improvements in terms of gameplay, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for players without experience in old-school JRPGs.

 

[Punished Miku]

PS1 games for $50 is absurd. Kiss my ass. Will begin considering it when its half off.

PS1 games for $50 is absurd. Kiss my ass. Will begin considering it when its half off.

This is a very strange arephmetic. This is a remake with completely updated graphics, you are immediately offered 2 games of duration, each of which is 25-30 hours. That is 50 hours in total, this is $ 1 per 1 hour of playing the game. Astrobot, which came out and received the game of the year, is completed in an average of 15 hours and cost $ 60 at the start, which is $4 per hour of play and this did not stop anyone

 

[saintjules]

 

[Ailike]

Already bought on Steam and Switch

 

[nocsi]

They could've done better. This is pretty close to the retexturing people did over at GBATemp. But it's pretty par for this series. I haven't even started Eiyuden and really have no palette to do so. Ever since Suikoden's creator died after years of releasing turds.

I am just happy to see the first two games being acknowledged again regardless. Suikoden 1 deserves a playthrough.
