Gamers are finding this whole Konami vs. Kojima situation really, really awkward.
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.
It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.
Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.
Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.
Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
This is so socially awkward. I wonder if it's weird for Kojima to walk through the hallways at the Konami building these days.
Rest in peace, Metal Gear. :/
Well.. Metal Gear had a very good run. MGS5 more or less completes the entire story.
At least this means Kojima finally has the chance to start on something new.
I wouldn't say weird or awkward is the way I feel. Konami doesn't have the funds anymore to support Kojima studios especially when they release one game every 5 yrs. it's just not a sustainable business model. Let's face it. MGS does not have as much of an impact on gamers as it once did.
Maybe he is trolling us, and is about to announce the new silent hill on Morpheus?
With him , you never know...
