Konami is done. It's sad to see one of the giants of gaming sink so low.

Venomousfatman4036d ago

After everything thats happened recently, it might be a real thing to think about. They're shifting focus a lot to mobile and other avenues away from making AAA games.

But the worst is how they've handled Kojima controversy and their overall image. No company that is on sturdy ground would do what they have lately.

blackblades4035d ago

Yeah they need to sell there IPs if they're not going to be used at all.

anash6114036d ago

It's incredible how far these guys have fallen in a matter of only two months. Kojima, Silent Hills, it's like one big domino just falling.

Venomousfatman4036d ago

It has to be a nightmare of a job right now for someone working in Konami's PR department. I'd feel bad for them at this point.

TFJWM4035d ago

Actually it's the easiest PR job since they say nothing

MoreGravyPleez4036d ago

They nailed their own coffin. This "Mobile first" BS is their death march.

It's very sad really. Hopefully they don't drag their IP's into the ground with them if they do one thing smart and auction them off before the inevitable end.

Venomousfatman4036d ago

I don't know whats worse though.

The fact they are going all in on mobile stuff and away from AAA game development, or the possibility that series like Metal Gear Solid will lose a whole lot of clout being pushed out in other less stellar ways. (IE: MGS mobile games, pachinko machines, treadmills, bottled water, ect.)

dreamed4035d ago

I would guess they are gonna turn all their ip's into mobile games rather than sell them off ?.

sagesurge4036d ago

RIP Konami, this further proves that no one is too big to fall

deadpoolio3164035d ago

OMFG They are not failing or going under....They are not going bankrupt....Nobody is getting fired....PERIOD!!!!

GET OVER IT....Its simple elementary school level business 101. They make the majority of their boat loads of money in JAPAN. Even further on mobile gaming, casinos, hotels, slot machines etc....

Unless your half retarded or live in fantasyland in business when you are losing money in a certain area i.e. make a game like MGS5 for 60 million plus advertising, plus the dev team, plus R&D you stop either full on or you pull way back and focus on EVERY other area of your company that profits

TheCommentator4035d ago

O_o

Yeah... um... nevermind.

Venomousfatman4035d ago

I think you're going to want to go reread the entire article, as well as all of the news related to it. Then you'll realize why everyone is feeling the way they are about Konami.

rbailey4036d ago

not the least bit surprised by Konami's actions. The company deserves to die for ditching Silent Hills and not giving Kojima free reign to do whatever he wants with his franchise.

I don’t think I’ve ever quite experienced an unfinished game that was slapped together with duct tape and construction paper to be sold as a finished product, basically making you replay the same missions and include a story that clearly was missing so much of the plot, like I did with this game.

I’m actually shocked that it doesn’t get calls out for this more.

franwex94d ago

It did. But the gameplay loop is still pretty good.

What happens when you make good games, keep it up konami, you've been doing great. Please do a AAA Castlevania too, or heck just start off remaking/remastering old games to play it safe.

Alek83122d ago

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.

Cacabunga96d ago

Not any games: SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!!!
I bought Silent Hill and MGS3!
Keep them coming, i will keep supporting!

nommers123d ago

Hoping for a new rumble roses someday

Scissorman122d ago

that's what happens when you make silent hill great again.

Inverno122d ago

Ironic. Also I guess the whole "fk Konami" phase is over now that they're selling remakes of already great games. People are easy to please, just rattle pretty graphics them.

gold_drake122d ago

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

franwex122d ago

Woah, making good games that people want to play pays off?
Someone tell Ubisoft and Square-enix!

badz149122d ago

SE make good games. WTF are you talking about?

franwex121d ago

I don’t mean final fantasy. I meant their OTHER games. Like their Babylon’s Fall, Avengers, etc. Don’t be coy.

RedDevils122d ago

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

Reaper22_122d ago

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

Nice. Im glad they are doing that.

Vits191d ago

Very unlikely to happen, but I really wish they at least remastered Shattered Memories. From a story telling point, that is still my favourite title and I think it would fit really well as a VR game.

gold_drake191d ago

why is it very unlikely to happen?

2 and f sold really well. especially f

if they nail 1, then im all on board

on_line_forever191d ago

When I want to play silent hill game I always expect to get the same atmosphere I was see in SH 1 & 2 with deep and great story connect with silent hill city (not another city ) so if Konami want to continue release new games it should based on the success of these games.

In my opinion I think the game need :

- improve combat ( no more action just improve the combat and physics)
- another good and deep story
- improve creatures and enemies design
- add mysterious puzzles and it will be good if these puzzles connected with game story
- and of course Akira should involved in the project.
- create mysterious characters

gold_drake191d ago

good, cause .. i mean, after 2, it kinda goes downhill.
off the rails after 3 ha

Miraak82 190d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1190d ago

We need a Silent Hill 3 Remake after 1
