New Suikoden announced for PSP
Konami made a surprise announcement at a Tokyo Game Show stage event for tri-Ace’s Frontier Gate by disclosing that a new entry in the Suikoden RPG series titled Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki is in development for the PSP.
Konami followed up by opening a teaser website as well as a dedicated Twitter account for the game. They also released the first teaser trailer for the title which you can see below. No other details as yet.
Thanks, Andriasang.

translated its Suikoden Centennial Tapestry.
Thats the rumor that its like TierKreis but at this point its better to know the franchise isn’t dead, I heard a rumor only a few months ago that Konami disbanded the entire Suikoden Team, this is a relief.

That’s true, although I really disliked the games they made after the third one, thought the franchise faded away after their lead designer left.

I can understand 4, Tactics and TierKreis being abit dissapointing compared to 1 and 2 but tbf 5 was fucking awesome

V felt like a poorly made attempt at repeating the original. I thought by the end of it the plot has degenerated into what was one of the most generic jrpg cliche. I mean, the ending was lacking to say the least, kind of like watching a poor rehash of Luc’s sideplot.
I didn’t like it’s artstyle too, it was way too easy as well.

Well done Konami.
Releasing a new game in a franchise that has been hobbling for years, desperately in need of a proper revival, on a format that will be made redundant in a few months times…
Nice move.
*slow clap*

@5 i liked 5 alot, it doesnt beat the original that unsurpassable, but it was a very good game and i liked the artwork and the story and political aspects of 5

#7, I recall reading about the creator of the originals considering some project with Konami a year ago or so, but then dismissing it as too risky. I would assume that was another main series entry.

I loved the first one, and the one with the sea whichever it was.
