Rumor--Suikoden VI for Wii

Here's a better question: Why do people assume that all games on the PS3 must have perfect HD graphics and be ultra high budget affairs?

-------------

the bad thing is that Sony, unless they've changed their tune, does not like inferior looking graphics on their systems. I remember a few years ago they essentially killed a small RPG re-location company called working designs. WD lost a ton of money because well into the development of a growlanser trilogy boxed set and Sony decided to axe growlanser 1 as it was a psone game, and had 2-d graphics. the team carried on and released it as "Growlanser Generations" which had part 2 and 3 albeit 2 years past shedule and wayyyy over budget.

the tem then tried to release a game in the Goemon series and Sony axed it at the end making the company fold. in an interview with the guy that owned working designs said (from http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3146301):

"So what happened? According to Ireland, it had to do with not being able to obtain approval (from Sony) to release all of the games he had wanted. "If I can't guarantee that the games I personally choose for us to release in the US can actually get approved and come out, there's no business to be done," he said. "I know many of you will have lots of questions, and there will be some I can answer, and some I can't. Sony has made it clear that they do not want the details of their dealings with any publisher made public. Suffice to say that you would buy what we wanted to sell if we could sell it."

this is a similiar story for fans of the tales of series, as Tales of rebirth or any other 2-d tales games never got approval.

I dunno, the reason I got a ps1 and ps2 is because of RPGs, but I don't know which system they'll end up on now (the majority of them) thats why I still have my ps2 and GBA/DS for a lot of games. I also have the wii and kind of see some games coming over there.
