Best game news I've heard in a long time. I kept my PS3 especially for Suikoden I and II. The atmosphere of those old JRPG's is just something else. Onward to the next Playstation classic to receive a remaster/remake: Vagrant Story.

[jznrpg]

Yes please . I just played it last year on my PS3 Fat , I own 2 copies of it because I love the game that much .

[RpgSama]

Day one for me, I played them last on my Vita.

[notachance]

cool, now I can fulfill my childhood mission of saving nanami lol

[darthv72]

My vote is for legend of dragoon remake/remaster

[Necr0philiac]

This is great news. It would cost over $400 today to buy the originals C.I.B. It might be a good time to sell your original copies, their price may drop.

[RedDevils]

This I will buy it at full price, which I haven't in a long time for any games.

[Crows90]

Oh my this brings me back. Not even sure how old I was when I played these but I sure do remember them. Will definitely be picking this up

[deleted]

2 of the best JRPGs ever made. Amazing news! :´D

[Relientk77]

Yes, this is awesome news! I always wanted to grab the PS1 version of Suikoden II, but didn't wanna spend $300+. It's costs a crazy amount.

[PapaBop]

If they are going to get into the habit of doing remasters, please please please do Vandal Hearts next. I never got to play Suikoden 2 so really happy about this.

[Pedrof]

I don't like the rays of light following the character on the world map. I think I'll stick with the PS1 versions.

[LoveSpuds]

Dude, you really are stretching to find a criticism if the best you can come up with are some rays of light on the world map. The visuals look brilliant, nice and sharp while retaining the charm and personality of the originals.

[Pedrof]

To be honest it immediately jumped to my face. Sorry if it seems far-fetched to you.
My PS1 version plays beautifully on my PS3 so I don't know why I should rejoice for a new version that looks worse.

[jznrpg]

I’ll play both just to see the differences.

[FerrianX]

As a fan of the series am thrilled to see an HD Remake, equally so however as a fan of the series am feeling slighted that they renewed the license just to come out with an HD Remake rather then a brand new game.
Fans have been asking for an HD Remake for years, and only after the original creators of the series start promoting their own game Eiyuden Chronicles, this remake suddenly gets dropped.
Konami is sitting on a lot of great IP and doing next to nothing with them, really would like to see them return to form and make some great games again (and not just milk remakes).

[Chocoburger]

There's no talent left at Konami. The newest Contra game was trash, the newest Metal Gear game (which I admit to have played a lot of), was also crappy.

Why do you want them to make new games that will only further ruin their legacy? You're just going to end up complaining about it after release. A remaster is the best choice for the current-age Konami. Until the president of the company leaves and the entire culture at that company completely changes, new games aren't going to be worth our time.

If Konami did make a new entry in the series, it will not be able to come close to whatever incredible Suikoden game you can conjure up in your imagination.

[darthv72]

There already was 'technically' a remaster of the first two games... but it was for the PSP. It had improved graphics and controls and widscreen support for the PSP. So Im curious if they will be using that as the basis to HD remaster from? And maybe they are doing this to gauge interest in a new game in the series or at least to see if they should HD remaster the others first.

[jznrpg]

I own all of the Suikoden games from 1-5 , Tactics and DS game Terkaris . Of course I will get this but I wish there was a PS5 version . I’ll get the PS4 instead unless there is a PS5 version for Asia only or something like that.

[FallenAngel1984]

Over the recent years Konami has released remastered collections of Castlevania, Contra, TMNT and now Suikoden but still no Metal Gear

What’s taking so long? Why have that 35th anniversary tweet for the series yet still do nothing for it?

I’m happy for Suikoden fans, but Konami should be doing more for their other classic franchises

[darthv72]

i hear ya... they had a huge missed opportunity to have at least created a rebirth entry for MG like they did gradius and castlevania. I think I remember reading that they wanted to but changes occurred behind the scenes and it just never happened.

Time to find the strategy guides

[Pedrof]

Better to find everything on your own. Though you should check out this guide : https://kotaku.com/tips-for...

[-Foxtrot]

This is great news but come on Konami if you can do this then you can give us a a revived Silent Hill remaster or remake

[shinoff2183]

I feel itll come at some point. Hope in the sense of re2 remake

[shinoff2183]

Best news iVe heard in awhile. Now I just hope it releases physically for playstaion.

I hope they start doing this for alot more jrpgs from back in my younger years.

[Orchard]

That's a weird way to spell "Silent Hill" :P

All jokes aside, it's good that we're getting a remaster of these, but please Konami... pay some attention to MGS & SH.

[ApexWolf22]

Hopefully it gets a physical release that isn’t tied to a limited print. Great to see more people will get to experience these gems. I remember picking up II @ launch months after stumbling across the first one in a bargain bin great times indeed. I wonder if they fixed the gambling, it was so easy to max out your $$$

[Dixiedevil]

Finally!

[WiiU-Dude]

I am thrilled with this!! I had and played then on PS1. I got them again on Vita. Now I will absolutely get them again!!!

[RedDevils]

Didn't expect this, Best new I heard in the last decade.

[Dwarrior]

Hate the thought of supporting current Konami.

But this was completely unexpected.
