Just be glad I didn't wear "The Tight Pants." |
On the Record  Posts: 5967 Joined: 7 Feb 2008    | I really wish Konami would stop screwing around and just release Suikoden 6 already, Tierkries is all well and good, but I'd be annoyed if they just went down this "alternate universe" path exclusively. |

Was that a leftover from the Nurse's uniform? |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1771 Joined: 18 Nov 2008     | The game didn't seem that impressive, I'd rather have the snake, the arcade machines or the fountain any day... |
Muckraker  Posts: 248 Joined: 24 Dec 2008   | I bet if Willy Wonka had an arcade in his factory of pure imagination it would look like that! Just a little upset that Russ didn't actually get INTO the fountain. Wait, upset or crushed...either way. </3 |

That fountain really looked kinda awesome. I want one too. And perhaps an arcade DDR, if I didnīt suck at it so much. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1842 Joined: 13 Jan 2009  | What would looked like if someone had painted him while he sat there? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1780 Joined: 13 Sep 2008   | Why do I see Swastika's in that fountain? Huh. Other than that, nice video. You guys or, rather, Russ likes to screw around, doesn't he? |

No Jeane or Viki *tear* but I hear that there is a plan to connect this game's world with the actual Suikoden universe.. could be just fan speculation though. *shrugs* I also hear that it's a good game in general. |

Paperboy  Posts: 45 Joined: 31 Jan 2009    | Is this really the biggest game Konami has coming out soon? Another DDR sequel would be bigger news than this... |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 978 Joined: 25 Sep 2008 |
Urgh, yeah. More JRPGs with traditional turn based combat systems. Very exciting. And that guy? He really talked in a weird way? Like everything was a question? Even though it's not? Okay Ill stop there. |

Only one they're talking about at the moment... Remember the slip of the ton gues surrounding Metal Gear Solid.... And who knows? They could be following Capcoms lead and remaking Contra. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 418 Joined: 22 Nov 2008   | HAHA the fountain was really funny and I was half expecting russ to go and snap someones neck with snake but even though it didnt happen it was still awesome. btw did you guys get kicked out for the fountain thing and if so was it worth it? |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 785 Joined: 20 Sep 2007   | I can understand why you took your sweet time just showing footage of you standing around or playing ddr: All they had to show off was Generic JRPG #546456435. |

You've obviously never played Suikoden. |

Suikoden is usually the exception to JRPG's rather than the rule... though Tierkries does not look like it's going to be a worthy sucessor to the series. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 168 Joined: 9 Nov 2007 | Glad the latest installment for Suikoden isn't like its first foray into Nintendo Card Battles (Suikoden Card Battles? C'mon, I know you make oodles in card game cash, Konami, but have some pride). The "whole new universe" aspect is a bit dodgy, as the one thing that made Suikoden good and interesting and most importantly different than all the other JRPGs was a long, deep history, and characters that didn't whine and go emo at the first sign of trouble. That being said, overall, not quite an engaging TES episode. I guess Konami didn't want you poking around their offices as much as some of the other places guided you around? (That would be extremely disappointing, considering in the beginning you mentioned that they were the ones who invited you over.) |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 83 Joined: 17 Oct 2008  | I seriously thought Russ would start splashing around IN the fountain when he first mentioned it. Least grab up some coins in there before they kick you out *laughs* |

I think we had somewhere else to be afterward. Didn't want to get my shoes wet. Making a note here, though (huge success) next time we schedule shoots at places with fountains for late in the day. And/or I bring a change of socks. Or someone brings me a change of socks. Or I just have someone else play in the fountain and I point and laugh. That's it, I think. |

Not this one it seems... I agree that there were a few interesting new elements to the original Suikoden. Not to the story really, but to the format. This game with its "new" world seems like 100% filler though, a parasite on the (apparently) good name of the series.
Populist :D |

I know.. at the end when he said "They are so going to kick us out for hits, but it'll be worth it" Then moved his jacket, I totally thought he was getting ready to go in. *sigh* Games looks alright; I kinda want a DS now. |

Can't argue that, I'm probably going to play it, and like it, but I like JRPG's. It does not look like Suikoden though, Suikoden is about War, Politics and Betrayal not standard save the world JRPG stories. Suikoden is so unique because you DON'T ever save the world, it's always been about saving an individual country from a realistic threat like civil war, invasion or tyranny. |
