Can we put faith in Konami's comeback

For many of us, Konami is a beloved gaming company that has ownership of some of the most beloved IPs in the industry. A lot of us older gamers know this well. Metal Gear, Contra, Castlevania, Dance Dance Revolution, Yugioh, Gradius, Suikoden, Tokimeki Memorial, Vandal Hearts, and more all fall under their umbrella. Their numbers grew more in August of 2012 when they absorbed Hudson Soft. This added games such as Bloody Roar, Star Soldier, Bonk, Bomberman, and Adventure Island to their list of properties.

Part of what made these franchises so great was the developers behind them. Hideo Kojima created Metal Gear. Castlevania had a lot of people that developed it. But the originals were Akihiko Nagata, Nobuhiro Matsuoka, and Noriyasu Togakushi. Suikoden was helmed by Yoshitaka Murayama, etc. Over time on the backs of these developers and the properties they created, Konami had enjoyed a status that put them on a level playing field with Square Enix, Capcom, Namco Bandai, and Sega.

No. Konami was on fire just like Capcom and Namco back in the day. Now, they are not even close.

I have no faith at in them all unless I was into casino games. But I'm not. So, no.

Wait until we see some actual games
their remaster collections are amazing, I'll give them that any time
but we'll see how things go when they run out or release actual games

I'm willing to see them out. If Silent Hill 2 Remake is a turd... then fool me once shame on you, but fool me twice...

I wish they would sell the Castlevania IP, if I had a few 100 mil laying around I would buy it.

I thought the guy behind hunter x hunter died

He didn't die. He suffers from chronic back issues which has caused him to have lots of hiatuses

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

"For years, he has been suffering from chronic back issues, leading to several hiatuses spanning multiple years. Due to these issues, he is only able to draw sporadically and only while laying down."
