fifa15 is pure garbage (on PS4 at least). PES15 on PS4 is number one football game this year.

Konami should start making washing machines and bottled water /s

If consoles were always online and sales where all digital then this wouldn't happen.

Isn't that what Xbox one was designed to do? Isn't this what steam already does. Couldn't they just make pc only games on steam?

The ps4 has paid online.

It would seem we are actually seeing the slow death of movie gaming. First square fell then Capcom and res evil. Now konami put all of their eggs into Kojima and now he wants out or something went wrong.

I'm noticing how these movie games are consuming budgets man power and draining creative efforts for game play.

The used market has always been there, gamers have always had the option of buying used games...Yet some publishers manage to make games that sell and are very profitable regardless of it while others seem to spend so much time trying to figure out how they can shackle gamers into buying new so they don't miss out on those extra sales that they put off the people who would have bought new so they loose out anyway.

maybe if they focused on making games that really offered good value for money and a gaming experience that truly entertains, then more people would be buying day one instead of waiting to get a pre-owned copy.

it's a bit of a catch 22 ya, but making out like it's just the pre-owned market that is the problem is bull crap.

it is their own greed that is the biggest problem.

they make a crap game or a broken unfinished one and expect people to be jumping up and down to throw money at it. when that does not happen they then think it would be a good idea to try chopping it up into dlc and charging stupid money for that.

Selling digital could help but instead of passing the savings onto the consumers they still have to charge full price same as retail so it's offering no advantage over the retail version, So why would I buy either.

The xbox was designed to push that and most people could see that would be even worse for the industry then the current state.

I personally have reduced the number of games I buy simply because I don't feel the quality I am getting is there anymore.

If the games were cheaper then I may be willing to take that gamble, having a second hand market provides that option. If I was locked into every single game I buy thanks to drm and always online then I would be buying even less games then I do now.

At least buying a game pre-owned opens me up to buying DlC (if the dlc is actually any good,which it rarely is) so devs can still make some money off that.

locking the market down would only make it worse not better and many gamers made their feelings on that clear when the preorders for xb1 went downhill after all their bullcrap policies were announced.

Hogwash, GTA, Elder Scrolls, Zelda. These games are so good people will buy them several times over. If Konami is so concerned about used games there are about a million things they could do to make mgs horrible for people buying used, or they could just make sure there game is good enough to keep players interested thus preventing players from selling there copies.

Couldnt have said it better, here is full of people that thinks Konami ONLY makes profit from MGS and PES while in reality they get the majority of profits from pachinko and gambling machines. Just another stupid article like other tons of shit news that get posted here on n4g.

i think in terms of video games that we are interested in, konami is just as good as dead.

pes is probably coming back since it has been dead for a number of years. but without the premier league license it will never be as big as fifa even in the eyes of gamers.

anyways the company wont die out, but we know in terms of video games kojima productions was what kept it alive. castlevania sold pretty well, pes that was supposedly great was using the fox engine.

castlevania was hired by konami to make the game. so its technically them making it aswell, especially with the involvement of kojima productions in the first lord of shadow game.

is star ocean a square enix game or a tri-ace game?
the order 1886 a ready at dawn game or a sony game?
ratchet and clank a insomniac or sony game?
DmC ninja theory or capcom?
dragon quest 8 level 5 or square enix?

publisher owns the ip, when they outsource for other development studios to handle game its still the publishers game in a sense.

Bought both Castlevania Advance Collection and the Dominus Collection. I would absolutely love to have all the GBA games as well, and of course Symphony of the Night.

What I would really love though, is a true next gen sequel to SotN.

I 2nd the fuck outta that

i mean, silent hill f is a brand new game and it sold better then silent hill 2 remake.

SE make good games. WTF are you talking about?

You must be living under a rock if you put SE in the same category as Ubisoft.

Well,, I think all publishers have made some good and bad games. Its a risky business.

why is it very unlikely to happen?

2 and f sold really well. especially f

if they nail 1, then im all on board

I kinda liked SH4:The Room .. it was kinda weird ... in a good way

Isn’t that the case for most in the mobile gaming market?
