Since their are very few quality JRPG's this gen, i decided to go back to the past and play some quality retro JRPG games. Suikoden 2 is one of them.
If you want to play Suikoden 2 on consoles, you need to fork out $50-$100 as this game is rare and Konami refusing to put it on PSN doesn't help much either.
Its also the highest rated game on metacritic by user score (which is only counted if it has >4 reviews).
IGN rated the game extremely highly giving it a 9/10 with a very low rating for the graphics, it would get a much better rating if it had good graphic instead of 2D.
I really wanted to play this game. So i bought it and will play it next week. But i only decided to buy it after realising i have no choice since games not on PSN, and their wasn't any indication that it would be any time in the future. I couldn't wait.
Suikoden 1 is on PSN, but the best one isn't. What is Konami thinking, what do you think might be the reason for not putting it on PSN?
I am thinking its because their is:
1. copyright/rights/licensing issue.
2. Suikoden 1 made insignificant amounts of money on PSN.
3. or Konami is just plain stupid?
What reason could their be?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I've never heard of it, but now I really want to play it.
Good question
Konami is just plain stupid.
Suikoden 1 is on PSN. So it can't be licensing or copyright issues especially since Konami is also the publisher.
I guess it's not possible to find out how many sales of Suikoden 1 were from PSN, but given that it was out for so long in only Japan and then came to NA much later, it'd be Konami's fault for any lack of sales.
And another reason Konami is just plain stupid is that they recently disbanded the Suikoden team. All the members still work at Konami, and they said that the series isn't dead, but when you disband a team it means only 1 of 2 things. Either 1)They are going to outsource the next Suikoden game. Or 2)They don't plan on another Suikoden game coming out any time soon.
There are so many people wanting Suikoden VI for consoles it's not funny. Everywhere I go where there is a Konami story or on their twitter or facebook page, someone is asking for Suikoden. Konami just doesn't care. They will likely use the excuse of having Suikoden 1&2 on the PSP as why Suikoden 2 is not on PSN, but even that game never released outside of Japan. I wish it had since it adds Georg Prime to Suikoden 1, and as we all know Georg Prime is the most badass overpowered character in all the Suikoverse.
^^ agreed with Above
Konami is just plain Stupid..
And it's a shame since i've finished suikoden psp ( the last one , not the compilation ) and it's a very nice game that would had been a masterpiece had the team got enough money to polish it ...
As for suikoden 2 a corrected version without the translation error ( that game got a few of them ) would be also a greater masterpiece than it is alredy
Not to be a drag but you used 'their' wrongly every time except for the last. Should be there instead.
