Allow me to count the ways:
-Letting Yoshitaka Murayama, creator of Suikoden, go.
-Letting Keiichiro Toyama, creator of Silent Hill, go.
-Letting Akira Yamaoka, composer and series runner of Silent Hill post-Toyama, go.
-Treating Koji Igarashi, series runner of Castlevania and pioneer of the Metroidvania genre, like absolute shit by demoting him to mobile games and ingloriously letting him go.
-Unnecessarily rebooting and handing over franchises like Si...
Holy crap, Tomba! I think Tomba would be huge now, cause the mechanics of that game were quite ahead of their time. And with Sony's amazing media machine these days, they'd be able to give a new Tomba the exposure and publicity it'd need to be a success.
Sony franchises I want back:
-MediEvil
-Jumping Flash
-Jet Moto
-Syphon Filter
-Parappa The Rapper
-The Mark of Kri
-Warhawk(not Starhawk, Warhawk)
-The Getaway
-Omega Boost
-Siren
-Ape Escape
-Legend of Dragoon
-Rogue Galaxy
-War of The Monsters
I've been wanting this news to drop for AGES. It was about time Iga did another game without going through the humiliation he endured under Konami. Day 1 buy for me, definitely, and if he Kickstarts this, I'll definitely be a backer.
Yeah, by a nose... A multi-million unit long nose.
Konami's retirement from the New York Stock Exchange does not make this seem like a stunt. That move will lose them a LOT of investors. Konami's in deep water and they know it, and all just for being vindictive and unappreciative of the ONE guy they still have that can make them any money.
As for the petition, I don't know about making Silent Hills, cause right now Kojima is persona non grata at Konami, but he COULD just start from scratch with new assets as a new...
"but the online world shouldnt look at people this way. we all are basically a person sitting in front of a pc, why would/should gender become an issue?"
Right on the money, bubble for you.
Transgender. Born a man, became a woman.
I call her "her" cause it's what she'd have wanted, and I respect people's rights to identify themselves as the gender they're more comfortable with. I'm not very tolerant of bigotry, considering I've been on the receiving end of it often enough.
I'm justexcited for it cause now Kojima can stretch his creative muscles without being forced into making another Metal Gear game. I friggin' love Metal Gear, but if Kojima's heart isn't in it anymore and he wants to try something new, he should be allowed to do so. Not to mention Konami's basically treating him like battered shit for trying to, so it's a good sign that it's in his best interests to leave.
I don't worry about Kojima, him leavin...
This story is being blown WAY out of proportion and misleading. Rachel Byrk had rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, both extremely painful chronic conditions. Byrk was in constant, excruciating pain, with even walking around causing her pain. I'm an army medic and nurse, and I've seen the ridiculous pain just ONE of those conditions causes, having both at the same time must literally be a living hell where any common every day activity is tainted by constant pain. It is understanda...
I consider Dark Souls a refinement of Demon's Souls' mechanics, and I generally like it better, but Demon's Souls is WAY more hardcore. No area in Dark Souls comes anywhere near the suck of the Valley of Defilement, and no area is as ingrained in players' memories like the Tower of Latria.
Edit: Plus, Dark Souls gives is the mercy of not throwing on us a boss that can SUCK AWAY LEVELS.
I'm waiting for a Brutal Hexen mod.
Both Planescape: Torment and Vampire: Bloodlines would be fantastic if remade, especially if updated with modern design sensibilities and interfaces. Especially Planescape, that game deserves to be played by everybody.
THE DRAGON OF DOJIMA, KIRYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU U KAZUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Officially, most badass character in the game, hands down, no questions asked.
Wrong, From's next game should be TENCHU.
I agree. People bitch about remakes and remasters when you can easily just NOT BUY THEM. But like the article said, those remakes can be a source of funding for new games, and improvements and enhancements can breathe new life to a game that is a classic. Anyone who, for example, tells me that The Last Of Us Remastered was not a worthy purchase is deluding themselves in my opinion. Also, the jump in terms of technology and graphical quality from last gen to current gen was not as pronounced t...
I could not disagree more if the author said Kojima should leave gaming for a career in child molestation.
Yes, Kojima is a genius gaming developer, but that creativity does not translate easily to other media. Just assuming that because Kojima is creative he can easily do the transition to, say, movie or TV scriptwriting or directing, is neglecting the fact that gaming, because of interactivity, stands completely apart as a medium, and that interactivity is a storytelling to...
This is an April Fools joke, right? I lost hope of seeing a new Jade Empire ages ago.
Demon's Souls virgins could survive Dark Souls, don't see why Dark Souls virgins can't survive Bloodborne.
It may not be a forum to tell Konami what we think, but it IS a forum to vent our frustrations and commiserate with fellow gamers who are as furious as we are. So overall, it's not a wasted exercise, I think.
