There was a rumor last week that stated Konami is leaving AAA game development, instead focusing on mobile and gambling avenues. While they squashed the rumor, shortly after stating they still intend on making AAA console games and are not leaving Metal Gear Solid behind, gamers should question whether Konami should exit AAA development, given the developer’s/publisher’s troubled past few months.
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
Konami should leave the industry.
I don't know about living AAA right now, but Konami is/was on fire today, and I mean literally on fire!!!
I hope not they have some nice IPs.
Yes, since they apparently can't, they should stop trying to make AAA. Go back to making titles which are both creative and done on a minimal budget.
Mind you, they have to have talent to do that. Treat them respectfully.
what talent do they have left?
