Konami just keep on digging themselves in deeper by further annoying their fan-base.
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.
Today Konami announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.
That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.
Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.
Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.
All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.
When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.
Here is the online bit

I would understand them doing all this if they lost the IP or something, but why when they still own it? Why try to get rid of something as great as this? Just to annoy fans? Maybe they're just trying to cover the shame of losing Kojima. I don't know, either way I don't see myself picking up any future Konami games after MGS V.
If there was a handbook on how to make every wrong move in the gaming industry, Konami would be the prime example.
They've literally made this game into the most exclusive game in history. And besides those who have it and are able to play it, it's really not a good thing at all -_-. Here's to hoping they give someone more responsible the rights to this game.
Unfortunate. I am not buying MGSV game now due to ethic violation. Konami, what have you become?
Somehow this reminds me of a raging Ex trying to ruin the boyfriend's life and would do anything to see him suffer, even with the expense of bad publicity.
Konami is dead for me. Dead and buried.
This is crazy... What are they trying to accomplish? Are they trying to see how much negativity they can generate towards themselves? What's next?
