Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber have crossed the streams (with Lady Gaga successfully looking more like a man than Justin Beiber ever has, and Justin Beiber slipping the other direction).

An article in the military's journal on acquisitions. So Defense Contracting. Thrilling reading, guaranteed. Basically it's the F-22 vs. Predator debate for "expensive and overbudget and not on time" vs. "cheap and works" except using Star Wars as an example... a pretty good example, actually. The Second Death Star is behind schedule and late, as expected, and it's not even that useful vs. an asymmetric opponent. Just stick with droids like R2-D2.

On that note: any warship that is not a submarine and not intended for, say, pirate-hunting duty, is pretty much dead in a real shooting war with a competent opponent thanks to modern missile technology. Yet we keep on building these floating coffins. Sigh.

I'd be willing to bet carriers, at least, remain quite useful in application, though I can see how we might not want to bother with them if we get in a war with China.

New Suikoden game announced for the PSP.

I hope this one is more like Suikoden and less like Suikoden: That crap on the DS.

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #492 on:** September 18, 2011, 12:17:41 AM »

Both the art style and the name definitely heavily imply Tiekreis. The only thing I wouldn't understand if they continued in the same vein is why they would switch systems.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #493 on:** September 18, 2011, 01:25:04 AM »

Possibly because Nintendo of America seems to be discouraging localisations these days. *fumes* They might also have wanted better graphics, although since it's Suikoden that wouldn't be my first pick for a reason.

Anyway, since I don't have terrible opinions I am very happy with this announcement regardless of how it ends up being connected to the rest of the series. As always, I just hope they keep up the standard of writing from Suikodens-not-set-in-the-Island-Nations.

Lord Ephraim · « **Reply #494 on:** September 18, 2011, 02:43:20 AM »

What crappy 3rd rate western developer will Konami throw the Suikoden franchise to permanently flush the series down the toilet?

It's what everyone else is doing.

Said Suikoden game, if it is indeed a Suikoden game, has a 0% chance of coming out in the US anyway. Even if they rushed it out this year, it'd sell nothing because the PSP is very, very dead.

Honestly the art style reminds me of Suikoden III's intro movie, but the translation of the title I've seen (Centennial Tapestry) and of course not outright being Suikoden VI suggest something closer to Tierkreis.

Unrelated, aside from also being Konami shenanigans, Silent Hill Downpour's TGS Trailer.

Oh, please. He's lived through prison sex. Silent Hill isn't going to scare him in the slightest.
