Suikoden VI

[Raww Le Klueze]

all Genso suikodens have been exclusive to Sony{PSX, PS2}

Yeah... except for the Saturn version of Suikoden, GBA exclusive Card Stories, and the PC conversions.

Really exclusive series...

[nephlabobo]

The main games in the series have been on Sony consoles.

I would like to play the Gaidens but since Konami will never release them in English, they don't really count for us, do they?

That said, did the PC versions come out in English?

Ah, Suikoden III was definitely PS2 only I'm afraid.

Then Konami must have taken a step back before releasing it on Xbox... I distinctly remember standing in the video game store and seeing a poster that announced Suikoden III for Xbox and PS2, and thinking to myself, "Konami, why would you release that game for Xbox?" Maybe they gave it up before it released and the poster lied; I admit I've never seem the actual game for Xbox.

If you distinctly remember that then your memory leaves something to be desired... Konami never announced an Xbox version. Some Xbox sites speculated or even said it was coming but Konami never did, the only thing they said about it was that it wasn't coming and there was no plans for it when Vextor asked them.

I said GENSO suikoden



although yeah I forgot about the 1 for Saturn

I said GENSO suikoden

And what the hell is that supposed to mean? They're all GENSO suikoden, it's the Japanese title.

It's Genso Suikoden, it's Genso Suikogaiden, it's Genso Suikoden Card Stories, it's all Genso. It's not a title for Sony installments, it's a title to differentiate it from Shui Hu Zhan nothing else.

[Vextor]

Some game stores in the USA even had an XBOX release within their reservation system, which caused some confusion. I asked a guy in Konami Computer Entertainiment (back when they were located in Hawaii), and the guy said, "we have no plans for an XBOX release." So it was definitely a strange situation.

See Vextor's comment before you resort to flaming others over trivial errors. I never examined the poster to see if it was printed officially by Konami, but it was indeed there. And it does seem that some game stores were advertising its release on Xbox, regardless of Konami's intentions.

If Suikoden VI is a Playstation 3 production, I'd be pretty cheesed. Although, to be fair, Suikoden III is the only reason I bought a PS2. Still, the PS2 was a garden of delights for any video game player, and the PS3 is, at the moment, just an extremely expensive toy.

1. Learn what a flame is.
2. Since my time-machine is broken I can't very well see a post that didn't exist at the time I posted.
3. Having a game in their reservation system /= advertising a game.
4. Game stores aren't in the habit of printing up posters for games that don't officially exist. They aren't even in the habit of printing up posters for games at all.

And if Konami didn't make it (which we already know they didn't) then ask yourself who did. It wasn't the game store as they only post posters issued to them. not print it themselves. So who made it?

What you might have seen is an "Upcoming releases" list with Suikoden III as TBA but that's a far cry from a poster.

I'm not really certain what compels you to provoke others. If you believe other people are wrong, why not point out their mistakes with civility? Since you seem to respond only with snide and inflammatory remarks, I'll bow out of this argument.

4. Game stores aren't in the habit of printing up posters for games that don't officially exist. They aren't even in the habit of printing up posters for games at all.

Just thought I'd add that the big game retail companies do print up osters for games. It's called marketing. I would imagine both EB and Gamestop do it, just as Game and Gamestation do it over here to advertise new releases. Games comapnies supply us with cardboard displays, that kind of pos, but never posters.

3. Having a game in their reservation system /= advertising a game.

Technically telling customers that they can pre-order a game on its release at that store is kind of advertising its release. Perhaps marketing would be a more appropriate term.

As to the poster, a couple of times the company I work for has supplied our store with posters that have contained a mistake about the game's format. Sometimes differnet departments are so seperate and self-contained that errant information can sneak in. Generally the console information is minimal on the poster (stores want to advertise the game, their company and their competitive price more), and so mistakes in that area are occasionally overlooked. I've seen it happen, so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility for Twelve to have seen such a poster.

I believe that Raww Le Kleuez was stating the stores themseleves do not print up posters. You're right in that it is marketing, but marketing is done by the developers and producers of the game, not the merchants. EB and Gamestop do not print posters, they simply display them on store walls.

However, I can't confirm the SIII/Xbox poster, but I did see a poster stating Star Ocean 3:TTEOT was for the Gamecube, not a match, but similar situation.


And Pokerface:

Do not misunterstand me. Let's see here. Suikoden III never appeared in Germany as a PAL Version, so my pal said: Awright to hell with that crap! And he ordered an US PS2. Then the US Game as well. After doing some research we found out that having an US Playstation is 1000 times better, because there are too many good games which NEVER appear here in Germany or in Europe... I hope you understand now.

Back to topic.

Konami is sooooooooo evil! They should step on the gas darn it. I need the next Suikoden!

Pokerface

The reason KoyuRedd corrected you was because you had said that you would buy a US PS3

And should the game appear for the PS 3, then he will order an US PS 3, and the US game.

The PS3 is region-free, meaning that there is no "US" or "Pal" PS3, or games for that matter.

[EternalOnslaught]

For all we know, the next installment may appear on a handheld, doubtly however. Just a possibility.

And is Konami still making an unknown RPG for the Wii? And are they making one for the PS3 as well?

well if you say so



I always thought that only suikoden 1 to 5 were genso's and card stories and the gaidens werent
