Konami have confirmed that, despite their desire to ditch it, they’ll be keeping D-pad control in PES 2012.
At E3 earlier this month, Konami debuted a demo of an early development PES 2012 which only allowed for control via the analogue sticks. The news apparently left a handful of vocal fans disgruntled – particularly those that rely on the pad to execute sharp turns during tournament gameplay.
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 announced its financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026, related to the period between April 2025 and September 2025.
Looks like Mobile is still their bread and butter. But I'm glad they are at least diversifying finally...
My god what I'd give for a new Castlevania game.... Still one of the coolest IPs in gaming.... I'd love to play a AAA Castlevania game that gets the god of war treatment.... Treat the whip like a character. Simon Belmont.... Dracula. Go.
now thats innovation
That's one big problem actually.
In PES 2011, although D-PAD is still supported, you can see that their new passing system becames really unaccurate on D-PAD, while most (on screen) players will get it right with analog.
But despite being more precise with analog, that simply isn't what the fans want. In fact I don't know anyone who plays on analog regularly. I play with analog once I had been playing other games for long periods (so my thumbs kind of go there alone) but it feels awkward and I end up going back to D-PAD after two or three minutes.
Supporting both analog sticks and D-PAD is good news, but the important question is if they are going to support both correctly. It shouldn't feel 8-way limited on analog as well as it shouldn't feel like guessing directions on the D-PAD.
Hahahahaha.
