Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain launches tomorrow and is highly anticipated by many as one of the biggest games of the fall. This is astonishing considering Konami’s current stance on gaming, with gambling quickly becoming their main focus along with a vested interest in mobile titles. Perhaps this is why Konami is acting like The Patriots, controlling and censoring information with an iron fist and a cold heart. Everyone following games have been inundated with news about Konami concerning The Phantom Pain, and there were just enough bits to add onto the pile today to make summarizing the entire ordeal make some sense.
Over ten years after its release, does Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain still impress? Jump Dash Roll returns to Snake's world for this Brutal Backlog.
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.
Today, Konami announced its financial results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, between April 2025 and December 2025.
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.
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.
Not any games: SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!!!
I bought Silent Hill and MGS3!
Keep them coming, i will keep supporting!
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.
i mean, silent hill f is a brand new game and it sold better then silent hill 2 remake.
Woah, making good games that people want to play pays off?
Someone tell Ubisoft and Square-enix!
I don’t mean final fantasy. I meant their OTHER games. Like their Babylon’s Fall, Avengers, etc. Don’t be coy.
Well,, I think all publishers have made some good and bad games. Its a risky business.
Konami is planning to further expand the Silent Hill series beyond the remake of the first entry and Silent Hill: Townfall.
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.
why is it very unlikely to happen?
2 and f sold really well. especially f
if they nail 1, then im all on board
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
It's foolish to have microtransactions in a full priced game, though how do you expect companies to make money?
I don't agree MT's - though games are getting bigger, and gamers want software that's akin to movies in the fmv department. Publisers can't up the price of retail software because that'll condense their average profit margins, and ''on disc DLC'' is out of the question since Capcom had to learned the hardway with their Street Fighter VI title (gamer backlash).
It's a; ''between a rock and a hard place'' scenario, and there's only a couple of options available.
This disease is even more out of control than it had ever been.
God bless this generation. It needs Jesus.
Wow.. These sites are desperate for hits. Nothing to write about so...
amazing. I'd say they are absolutely cold blooded, but that would be an understatement. They legitimately don't care. They may very well be vacating the industry altogether. And they should. Because they are handling this like a bunch of belligerent 6 year olds who are stomping their feet and plugging their ears because things aren't going their way.
I'm sorry Kojima became too big for you guys. That he was the face of multiple companies, and became your goose that laid the golden egg, that he most likely became a handful with his ambitious game designs, and that he is a perfectionist at heart, like all master craftsman.
I can't wait to see what happens with him, though. He could walk into any studio in the world, and people would welcome him with open arms.
