Since 1999, counting spin-offs and re-releases, there have been 18 Silent Hill games—and you can count the really, really great ones on one hand. That's a dismal average for a series with this much potential, and compelling proof that, when it comes to Silent Hill, Konami has no idea what it's doing. The first game launched on the original PlayStation in the late '90s, when the company was a powerhouse.
Games like Suikoden II, Metal Gear Solid, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night sealed its reputation as one of the best publishers/developers in the business. And Silent Hill—a provocative, stylish, and mature horror game that made Resident Evil look like a B-movie—only strengthened that prestige.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
Sadly, Konami doesn't seem too interested anymore in creating full scale games. Even though they claim to care about their series like Metal Gear and Silent Hill ( https://www.metalgearinform... we don't see much prove of it.
It's not just SH Konami has forgotten the whole gaming industry they are living off royalties from games like Castlevania and Contra releasing and selling those as anniversary packs. They need to pull their head out of their ass and also focus on the gaming industry besides pachinko machine the two parts can make money.
Or Contra, or MGS. They've ruined them all.
Sell the rights to capcom
Fixing the headline:
Konami doesn’t deserve any of their franchises
