How expected.
How much we gonna bet it will be delayed, repeatedly, until…oh…say…April 23, 2024?
What a specific date… I wonder…
I would bet all my marbles on the fact that its the only reason a shitbag company like Konami suddenly started giving a shit about Suikoden again, anyway.
I mean, it would be impossible not to notice what kind of a reaction Eiyuden’s crowdfunding had. Just because a couple hundred of us cried for Suikoden for years doesn’t mean a thing to them. (And honestly, I wouldn’t want them to even attempt at a sequel without any of the original teams still in the company)
Anyway, now they see there’s money to be made, so might as well strike while the iron is hot. But rushing the remasters to meet the deadline would require additional personnel and more money invested which could be better spent making some more pachin— I mean, some other better known franchises. So as long as they don’t miss the Eiyuden window by too much, they’re in the clear.
It’s not just because they’re shitbags, it’s because they’re a business. No more creatives are there to take any chances or artistic liberties, it seems. Just proven formulas.
I don’t think its anything as simple and honest as seeing money.
I think its vindictive cruelness, They hate these people for leaving Konami and for trying to compete with Konami (despite the fact they havent done a new Suikoden game in…what? 10 years?) and want to steal all the attention and limelight they can so that, in an ideal (to konami) world, Eiyuden fails.
I get what you mean, but I wouldn’t say so. I don’t think they care even the slightest bit. They probably could have pulled more desperate moves if they really wanted to hurt Eiyuden. As it stands, it just seems they want to earn as much pocket cash as possible with the remasters while riding the wave they in no way helped create. Of course, I could be wrong, but to me it still seems more like a cold, heartless business move than an emotionally-filled one.
