Yeah, just the PS1 version by the looks of it. The PSP release of the first two games seemed nice and added some extras like movie viewers and widescreen, but Konami being Konami they added some new bugs too (and those games have a couple bugs and translation errors as is) and the widescreen is a bit tacked on and shows too much since the game was never designed for it (it's not just stretched out). And they didn't even seem to bother to add the couple new things that were added to the Saturn version of the first game like the arena.I wish it was an HD version of it. Are thye just bringing the ps1 version so it is playable on ps3 and vita? I would have loved to see a Suikoden HD set. They are my second favorite jrpg series.
It would be great to have a big compilation release of the series (especially since the save games from the first two games can be used in the third game if only as a very minor extra when it carries over the names you picked). Hopefully with some bug fixes thrown in.
IV suffers from a few different things: 4 instead of 6 in your active party, limiting how often you can use the large roster, the ship is painfully slow even when you realize the run button will make it go faster and you end up in a ton of random battles, and I think the setting is so far removed from the rest of the series (100+ years earlier?) that you miss out on a lot of the cameos and easter eggs mentioning previous games that make the series so fun. Plus, while I don't hate the story as much as some, it's definitely the weakest of the main series.
V is awesome, though. Just about everything you could want in a Suikoden game.
