Konami "how can we win our fans back?"

Advisors "apoligize to Kojima-San, get rid of the pachinko machines, focus on proper respectable game development and publishing, and bring back P.T. if Kojima will come back after the apology."

Konami "I know...zombies..."

lunatic00012829d ago (Edited 2829d ago )

Why should they get rid of pachinko machines...it makes konami lots of money....instead what they should do is stop making stupid decisions when it comes to their video game sector and take it more serious...not get red of pachinko machines...tell me...if you owned a company would you get rid of a sector that makes you money???

"Don't forget for all you people to get the heck out so GOOD people can take over and make Konami great again. Especially the jerks at the top"

freshslicepizza2829d ago

how to win your fans back? easy, make good games and ignore the idiots online.

kinami has some good ip's they never seem to take advantage of so maybe they should hire some talented people and start making some refreshed games with those ip's and some new ip's too.

I like how you said that comment regarding Kojima leaving, as if Konami even wanted to make a deal with him in the first place.

the split seemed very mutual and I don't believe they could even afford to have such a developer any longer.

You seriously think that Kojima might would ever go back to this company based on an apology? If you do, you have a lot to learn on why this split even happened

HueyNewton20082829d ago

Why would they get rid of a profit-producing product such as Pachinko? Cmon put on your business cap on and stop thinking like a gamer. If they wouldn't have forced their hand regarding the development time MSG V would still be in development. 5-6 year cycle is too long and the company was probably losing money.

daynnight3652828d ago

Lol I have no idea what a pachinko machine is

ZombieGamerMan2828d ago

@ GOODKylePP or you know sell MGS to Kojima, sell Silent Hill to PlayStation or Kojima whichever one, Castelvania to nintendo and whatever's left to MS and then fuck off, that would be a good way to start

Open-mind........just reading Robert's tweets is making me chuckle. They could have easily made this a new game and even then the co-op zombie concept have been done to death. They have so many other good IP's they could have invested in instead, hell I would have been more excited for a new Never Dead.

Chaos_Order2829d ago

"Be open-minded."

I prefer the phrase "talk with your wallet." Which I am going to do. By not buying the game.

Kokyu2829d ago

Very good its the only language Corporations understand.

Gitgud2829d ago (Edited 2829d ago )

Open minded approach? What gives you the fucking nerve to say that? Give us MGS 1,2 and 3 remade then I'll give your shitty $30 dlc a bloody thought.

Gitgud2829d ago

never had an MGS remake before, and I never owned any remade games before, so nah.

PhucSeeker2829d ago

I'm not sick of remakes. Mostly because i don't buy them as most of them are not something i want to play again. Sand of time trilogy or Mass effect trilogy with updated visual will get my 60$ for sure.

BiggerBoss2829d ago

We're tired of shitty remakes. There's scores of Remakes I would invest in if they weren't shit.

Gitgud2829d ago (Edited 2829d ago )

you know what? I would've liked an online mode, some RDR type of shit. Also save data slots + difficulty modes.

EDIT: What's with the disagrees? Imagine roaming with a posse around the map, to find others as well. It would've been dope, much better than MGO 3. Also, who the fuck wouldn't want save data slots + harder difficulty modes? Jeez.

I wonder if they will remove the load screens? I kind of hope they do.

Tankbusta40334d ago

"In addition, the game will likely lack the bizarre charm, humor, and depth that can only be found in games that Kojima himself worked on."

If its a remake that stays loyal to the source material how is this an issue?

Kojima cultists are wacky

jznrpg334d ago

If they change the script that’s where they would f up big time. They would be stupid to do that

MIDGETonSTILTS17334d ago

Try not to pivot from the smartest enemies ever to zombies.

Those aren't "Solid" games tho.

chicken_in_the_corn961d ago

They're still part of the main series

Z501961d ago

"They're still part of the main series"
No one said otherwise.

MG 1 and 2 aren't Solid games tho. Title literally says "Solid"

Just stating facts.

RaidenBlack961d ago

Pachinko ... loads of 'em.

Likely nothing. After Survive failed Konami knows they can't capitalize on that franchise without Kojima. And Kojima doesn't want to make MGS games anymore, for a decade he kept saying he wanted to make other games.

Gridknac961d ago

Bingo! We got a winner here, show them what they have won!

Nyxus961d ago

It's so frustrating that we hear absolutely nothing. Remember, this is what Konami said six years ago: https://www.metalgearinform...

RaidenBlack961d ago

Lets guess that Konami wants the MGS franchise to continue to be multi-platform. Hence don't want to partner with either MS or Sony.
They can easily collab with other Japanese studios (if Konami is unwilling to do MGS with non-Japanese devs) for future games, like they did with MGR:R.
Hypothetical like: Even though Capcom is a long rival, but given the recent state of Konami, they can partner up with Capcom for an awesome MGS revival. Konami directs and publishes, while a Capcom sub-team just develops the game using the RE engine.

MIDGETonSTILTS17961d ago

They could easily remake old MGS games with the TPP game mechanics and engine, but they won’t.

It’s a shame one of the most innovative game directors also spent most of his career establishing his ideas with a company that doesn’t take pride in innovation.

Pachinko machines work for Konami, so they will continue that until it doesn’t.

Z501961d ago (Edited 961d ago )

"easily"
MGS1 was isometric. Not tps or fps.The first person view is what broke Twin Snakes (Gray Fox & Ocelot fights)

How would the laser sight tracking on handguns from MGS1 work using TPP game mechanics and engine for example?

MIDGETonSTILTS17959d ago

You might have to think over a few hallways for the older games, but that is being done right now for Dead Space.

And for your second point, I guess they could not have lasers?

I’m not saying it would be an “easy” copy paste job, but it could absolutely be done in a profitable manner. Or, they could just make another pachinko machine.

- Modification of the Agreement Process

These are the patch notes that are accessible on the PS4. The update has been reported to be just under 500 MB. It will be available to download on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Just don’t expect to find any new content or a patch to upgrade the game for the PS5. There is no such change included in this update.

DarXyde1193d ago

Konami still hasn't patched joy into MG Survive.

SlothLordPootus1193d ago

I want a Tidying Up season 2 so bad!

Orchard1193d ago

Headline had my hopes up for a next gen upgrade but... it’s Konami, I should know better.

Amplitude1192d ago

Whoa! I completely forgot Metal Gear Survive existed at all. It's like it was actually just erased. Weird. I wonder if it's actually as bad as people said it was...

Chocoburger1192d ago

I've played the game a lot. The online multi-player is good fun, but it gets repetitive quickly due to the lack of maps. For a game with micro-trash-actions, there is no excuse for the low number of maps to play in.

The single player on the other hand is awful. It's just nothing but grindy filler. Nothing special, interesting, or memorable happens. One plot twist that was okay, but not worth playing the game for.

The issue is that you must play lots of single mode player in order to improve for the multi-player mode, since your character progress is linked together.

Most people who hate the game never played it, much less experienced the thrills of 4 player online cooperational play. But at the same time, the game is an easy skip.

There are many games worse than Metal Gear: Survive released each year, but also there are many games better released each year as well.
