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.
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
I hope Downpour comes out good. From the way they're approaching it, it sounds interesting, but could still continue the pattern of suck that the last few SH games have established.
