I don't see Konami caring about console games anymore,not in the immediate future.Well,except PES,that is.

 

[Danny 117]

They should re-hire Fukushima (writer: MGS1, MGS2, MGS3) to direct and write a new / rebooted Metal Gear Solid game and I'd be there day 0.

Would love to see what his version of MGS4 would have been.

They also have a big time gap between MGS2 and MGS4 that could easily have 2 or so Solid Snake games with self contained stories.

 

[dracula_x]

I buy quality software from companies that produce it. I have no loyalty to any person or corporate entity. If the idea is they are going to restructure and start releasing more compelling software titles then I'll be happy to purchase said content.

Having said that, I don't have a terribly large amount of faith that Konami in it's current state can manage that.

Yeah, sure. It will take about 5-10 years just to build dev teams like what they have had in the past.

 

[Barakov]

Believe it when I see it.

 

[thomasmahler]

Parodius.

 

[UberTag]

Is the pachinko racket not working out for them or something? I know they're doing just fine with mobile gaming so they should just be content to be a small fish in a big pond there. Perhaps their stable of IPs can still have relevance.

 

[Suzzopher]

Castlevania Simon's Quest remake by Yacht Club Games and we'll talk again.

 

[Vitacat]

Konami, please.

You just keep making your shitty sexual violence gambling games or whatever the hell you do now. Meanwhile, I'll be playing Bloodstained, which I heavily backed. Don't need you any more.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

This is Konami’s US but does Konami JP care?

Pretty much this. Don't matter what Konami USA thinks, everything people hate about Konami is coming from the Japanese HQ and the folks that run it.

 

[NoFoX]

löl
Well, maybe if we get MGS 1-4 remakes in FOX Engine, maybe...

 

[Conduit]

Enthusia Racing Game please!

 

[Zubz]

You guys are being too harsh on this poor PR person. The higher-ups probably give even less of a damn that they did before.

 

[Tiu Neo]

There is one way, Konami: A new, mainline, Murayama-made Suikoden.

If Murayama isn't avaliable, maybe try to get anyone that cares for the series, this time, at least.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

It is an MGSV complete edition and an MGS3 remake. Gamescom is around the corner and you read it first here.

Batzi you got the release date for MGSV wrong and got Dawg banned in the process. Not one word out of your mouth.

 

[Samir Sedlar]

I love Konami, despite everything I can't get over the fact of the many awesome games they gave me. Yet I am not sure how they can make a turn back, that seems pretty impossible.

But personally speaking, I'd love for them to do a Remaster for Castlevania Lords of Shadow Saga on PS4/XBO and more importantly they should do Lords of Shadow 3 to wrap up the story, in a good and satisfying way this time around. (I know many would rather Lords of Shadow stay dead, but I just love the sage)

A Silent Hill Collection, a true collection given to a developer capable of remaking the games in a non buggy way, a true throw back to old school Survival Horror.

A new Contra, Zone of Enders, and Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Suzzopher]

Oh and Suikoden but by Zeboyd Games under the supervision of Murayama.

 

[Japanmanx3]

I'd rather them just be quiet and focus on pachinko honestly at this point.

 

[Last_colossi]

I'm sorry but I have lost all respect for Konami after hearing about the way they treated Kojima and KojiPro, unless Konami has a huge turn around in leadership and by that I mean most of the higher ups resigning (which will probably never happen) then they're shit out of luck as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Ivellios]

Only if you bring back a new good suikoden game

 

[Clear]

If only this. How about Team Silent?

Ummm, the last Team Silent game was in 2004.

 

[A-V-B]

I'd rather them just be quiet and focus on pachinko honestly at this point.

Yup. Just go be what they always wanted to be, and disappear from our sight.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Where's my Gradius 6, LIfe Force 2, Castlevania 6, Jackal 2, Contra 5?

 

[AuthenticM]

There's no way that the MGS announcement will be worthwhile.

 

[xmajinjoshx]

Put Mystical Ninja 64 Starring Goemon on Virtual Console / eShop and all will be forgiven.

At this point I think them signing Kojima back is more plausible than anything related to the Goemon franchise 😭

It baffles me how this hasn't been done yet. I'd really love to have this on Wii u VC!

 

[-shadow-]

Konami getting back full force after a huge restructure is entire possible. Do what people love and do it really well and I sure as hell will forgive 'them'. But what are the chances that that's going to happen. None?

 

[Batzi]

batzi don't

don't


DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONT

Batzi you got the release date for MGSV wrong and got Dawg banned in the process. Not one word out of your mouth.

The release date was accurate. The change was one of the reasons for the fallout. I am not going to argue with you. All I am saying is wait for Gamescom then tell me to shut up.

 

[liquidtmd]

Ground up Fox Engine remake of MGS1, MGS4 HD, a public apology to Kojima and a new decent Silent Hill.

Otherwise no dice Konami.

 

[ArjanN]

There's no way that the MGS announcement will be worthwhile.

Well I'd take a HD collection on Steam or something. I kinda doubt they're in a shape to do anything other than re-releases/ports.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

You can't earn back what you never had. I was only in it for the MGS, honestly.

 

[Javier23]

The release date was accurate. The change was one of the reasons for the fallout. I am not going to argue with you. All I am saying is wait for Gamescom then tell me to shut up.

You're so full of crap. Fool me once...

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Snake Eater remake in Fox Engine?

Nope. I'm a big MGS fan and I wouldn't buy it.

This isn't just about Kojima. The Silent Hill team, the Suikoden team, the Castlevania team.

I always thought Konami was poised to become another Cappccom but they fell on their faces hard.

No more Castlevanias, no more Suikodens, no more Kojima led MGS. What else the fuck do they have? Fucking soccer and fucking pachinko. I don't give a fuck what Ben has to say and I can honestly say I wouldn't miss the company if they just dissolved simply because there's nothing left.

I don't even know why they'd want another MGS at this point, the whole story has more or less been told from the beginning of Big Boss, his rise, his heel turn, to his death.

 

[UrbanDandy]

They should re-hire Fukushima (writer: MGS1, MGS2, MGS3) to direct and write a new / rebooted Metal Gear Solid game and I'd be there day 0.

Would love to see what his version of MGS4 would have been.

They also have a big time gap between MGS2 and MGS4 that could easily have 2 or so Solid Snake games with self contained stories.

This makes sense. Also:

Make ZOE 3 with an anime to jumpstart the series.

 

[Marvel]

That's a big ask, but not impossible.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Doubt it.

It is an MGSV complete edition and an MGS3 remake. Gamescom is around the corner and you read it first here.

WHY DID YOU PLANT THIS IDEA IN MY HEAD!? WHY!?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

fun fact: from what I've been able to find out the date Batzi claimed for MGSV was never actually a thing. the game was never planned to release in June 2015

either he's making stuff up or he's getting duped by his source

keep in mind I have no idea what Konami is working on nowadays tho

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Konami, you gaggle of sleazy fucks. I forgotten about yo sorry, lying, cheating asses a loooong time ago. I don't need you anymo. I'm a strong independent Bomberman, who don't need no assholes like you to tell me how to live. And there isn't anything in this world that will bring you back into my good graces. Except a Bomberman game maybe...

*Snaps*

But Seriously though, I forgotten about these pricks and they are complete, two-faced asshats who treated Kojima horribly and were souless monsters. And they've done all they could to destroy themselves, so fuck them.

 

[Korigama]

Rather difficult for a game company that doesn't really make games anymore to earn anyone back.

 

[pablito]

If they license out their IPs, I would play those. Otherwise Suikoden would probably be the only thing I'd ever buy from them again, if another was made.

 

[eso76]

Yeah, I won't lie. As much as I hate them for their decisions, a mgs3 remake with graphics as seen in the infamous pachislot would make me forget about all of that. Temporarily at least.

 

[ghibli99]

Actions speak louder than words. Start acting. SNES-era Konami would suffice.

 

[AmyS]

Remake MGS3 and MGS4 in Fox Engine.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Remake MGS3 and MGS4 in Fox Engine.

they remade MGS3 in Fox Engine for Pachinko

[J-Tier]

I don't care for the endorsement from their own PR guy. Action and results are what really matter.

All I know now is that they're butchering beloved IP's into pachinko games and that their executives don't really even care about video games.

 

[Persona7]

Start with Silent Hill 2 and 3 on GOG.

 

[MegamanXZero]

Never gonna happen.

 

[The Giant]

Give the Goemon franchise to Nintendo. Would be a good start.

 

[Dryk]

Sure they might be able to earn back the general public. But they've massively underestimated how creator-driven enthusiasts are, chronically underappreciated their creators and now let them flee the coop. Enthusiasts don't need Konami anymore, Igarashi and Kojima are free.

 

[Fancy Clown]

You can start by putting the PS2 versions of Silent Hill 2 and 3 on PS4. Should be pretty fucking simple to do.

 

[Livedili]

I haven't read the whole thread, so I'll just say it (again?):

Konami will announce something new at gamescom 2016. What I don't know but I do have an appointment for said game.

 

[Kerotan Frog]

Remake MGS3 then!!!

This and all is forgiven. I have a real feeling that they're doing this. Those cinematics looked way too good for pachinko shit. There's no way they could fuck it up. The story and game path is already complete. Can you guys imagine The End fight with a full area and no loading? Would be like the sniper battle in V but not as bullshit lol. Just one on one fight to the death. I need to play this.
