Konami secrets unveiled by HG101

I hope this is a Megaton. I like hot scoops! And being part of them when they are immortalized.

This better not be a letdown, mateychap.

Will we learn why konami doesn't make games anymore? All I want to know

This too.
 
Subscribed. This thread is gon' be good.

I wonder if this'll touch more on the conflict Jeremy Blaustein had with Scott Dolph, considering it involves localisation and all that.

I hope. Loved Blaustein's interview about his work in localization, his hatred of Scott Dolph and his adventure with the Shenmue's localization and VO work.
 
You guys have poisoned me with the whole Capcom/Konami thing so that whenever I read "megaton" it becomes "Megaman" for a good second.
 
If you guys are interested in things like that, check out the Assembler Forums; for example right now, theres people who had access to tons of old hard drives from Acclaim, and they are parsing the data; they do this for tons of oldschool consoles and etc.
 
For localized games? So this won't cover material for cancelled games?

I don't see what the big hook that could really reshape what people think of Konami, unless it highlights corporate tactics, which are always the worst thing with the games industry at the end of the day.
 
I want to know who it was at Konami that approved the Rocket Knight revival.

So I can kick them (and Climax) for fucking it up.
 
What's Suikoden? (I'm 12)

A very unique series of RPGs by Konami. Suikoden II and III are some of the best RPGs you could play on the PS1 and PS2.

They've since disbanded that team, forcing them to have the newest entry made by an external company.
 
In the interest of not letting the hype train run TOO out of control...there's nothing about cancelled games or anything like that. If you enjoy dirt on the hilarious inner workings on the video game industry, though, you will probably not be disappointed.

It also has nothing to do with Suikoden.

Also:

The Saturn version, right? There could be a partial translation somewhere deep in the bowels if Konami but I really doubt a complete one exists.

There was an interview with Jeremy Blaustein a long while back on an old Snatcher website where he said he had no knowledge anything was being done for Policenauts at the time. As far as anyone knows, there was that mock-up box shot and it appearing on release lists, and that was pretty much it.
 
now I hope it's related to tak fuji

Tak Fujii is actually some sort of ancient god, which Konami kidnapped to help them make the greatest video games in the world. This has backfired and Konami has been diverting all of their resources to keeping him from reaching his true form which is why their output has primarily been shithouse lately.
Tak just plays the fool to let Konami think they're getting somewhere, but one day he'll strike.
 
I have a massive migraine and I'm lost. Can someone summarize WTF is happening? :/

Oh boy, internet sensationalism!

EVEN WE THINK IT MAY BE TOO HOT TO HANDLE












BUT WEEEEE'RE GONNA POST IT ANYWAY viva la revelucion
 
That blog is really fucking annoying to read. Hopefully they actually got their hands in something interesting, so far it isn't. Staying in hope for dirt on the incompetent idiots that are in control of silent hill now.
 
If it's about a game that got localized, I'm really hoping for some info on the scenes they removed from MGS2 because of 9/11.
