When you imagine the sort of games that influence Deus Ex/Epic Mickey creator Warren Spector, you probably wouldn’t have expected a Japanese RPG from the PlayStation to be among them.
During a playthrough of Deus Ex with the folks at Game Informer, it was revealed by Spector that the Konami-developed Suikoden remains a highly-influential game for him.
A few of us at Pixelitis got the chance to discuss this a bit more at a roundtable discussion regarding the upcoming November dual release of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion and Power of Two at this year’s New York Comic Con. Spector didn’t mind sharing a few more details regarding that key influence and how it’s managed to peak its head out over the past decade or so.
One of the most beloved series of all time is Suikoden. So today we are going to talk about what my top 5 favorite Suikoden characters.
Wish they'd hurry with these remasters lol. I was hoping to knock them out before ec released.
You're telling me. I assume they will likely piggy back of EC hype. But we will have to wait and see.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
The Suikoden series helped revolutionize the JRPG genre. So I decided to talk a little bit about the 27 True Runes of the Suikoden series.
Mind: Blown
