Konami also voluntarily delisted its shares from the New York Stock Exchange, http://www.konami.co.jp/zaimu/2015/0427/en_aa7e9c.pdf

Whats going on in Konami?

 

[Magnetic_North]

Cool see ya later Konami

I'm done with you

MGSV will be bought used

 

[brandonh83]

It's so appropriate that opened this thread and started episode duscae at the same time, because that title screen music perfectly matches the atmosphere this announcment and monumental fuck up that konami has created.

Hey at least FFXV will come out. I... think?

 

[DNAbro]

Probably because they got delisted on NYSE

It's obviously a mix of both

They are breaking down.
Next thing we will hear is MGS5 not being finished.

Horror games are a dime a dozen. They vary in quality, P.T happened to be at the top without resorting to jump scares and being chased.

I don't understand where in my post I was suggesting that someone else make a run of the mill horror game with jump scares to cash in on this news. I was suggesting that there is a lot of talent in this industry and hopefully someone can attempt to make a best in class horror game that is right up the alley of Silent Hill. The market is flooded with crappy tycoon games too. That didn't stop CO from making a very impressive city builder. The fall of a giant can open the door to new products that were afraid to compete against that giant. That is all I was suggesting in my previous post. I am sure this and my previous post will be twisted all around on me by silent hill fans so sorry in advance for the offense.

Edit: there's an interview thread, my bad

I'm dying at this. Dude got massively screwed by the river.

 

[Despera]

Time flows
Nobody knows
The years go by
Where we go... alone... from here

Night falls
Strange colored walls
My eyes deceive
What is wrong... with me?

Deep in the night you think everything's right
Tell it to yourself
Say it's just a nightmare

Something is telling you
Nothing can change where you are
Again

Why should it matter
Your dreams of a child
Innocence is gone
Only fear to play with

Faces are changing
But nothing is changing the pain
Too late

Two steps I take getting closer
And closer

And one more breath I take
Sends me further back

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

Over and over it calls to your soul
Say it isn't so
Emptiness surrounds you

No one can help if the angels refuse to come near
Who's there?

Cold faded photos
They lay by your side
Something in my room
Nevermind the reason

Visions are lying and reasons just live to survive
This time

The cold (The cold)
The light (The light)
The fear (The fear)
Returning

It's not (It's not)
The eyes (The eyes)
You feel (You feel)
That's chilling you

Not sure if this has been posted yet but the Silent Hills P.T is going away on the 29th.

You have to pay money to have your stock listed on an exchange.

The vast majority of people trade Konami's slots/pachino subsidiary stock on the Japanese stock markets instead of the NYSE, so it wasn't cost effective for them to have a listing on the NYSE if no one was trading the stock there.

This isn't like a US company being delisted because 1.) it was voluntary and 2.) it's not at all their primary market. It'd be like Ubisoft removing their stock from the Japanese market if they had one.

 

[DXLelouch153]

So, is that interview legit ?

It makes some sense, but then again there have been more elaborate fakes in the past.

from what ive heard SuperBunny Hop is pretty legit
and Konami has been acting BATSHIT INSANE like the interview says lately
too many things add up man

 

[Chilled_Eskim01]

Has anyone posted this yet? It's Super Bunnyhop's latest piece with some very interesting and worrying information about the whole thing going on with Konami.

Be aware that George plasters the piece with disclaimers stating that the source he spoke with did not provide concrete evidence of their info, but they did prove were in fact a Konami employee.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Oh fuck you Konami; this company does not deserve the Silent Hill IP with the constant mismanagement of this series.

[matrixman92]

will buying PP used take money away from kojima? whats the best route to take so konami gets as little as possible? Not sure how it all works.

Buy it used.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

The camera missed the last bullet point hidden below the fold:

"We are now dedicated exclusively to being the world's premier provider of Pachinko machines and services!"

 

[crookedaxis]

It's obviously a mix of both

def.
the project had the most beloved tv screen actor nowadays and a big hollywood director.
even if it wasn't silent hill, people would be talking a lot about it...

 

[Brunobi02]

This is amazing. There should be one more bullet point that says "pachinko".

-beaten.....

RIP Silent Hill

RIP Konami

oh man that reaction of losing 100,000+k when the odds were for you.

 

[ginger ninja]

Where did this gym/health club thing came from ?

 

[Leafhopper]

Where did this gym/health club thing came from ?

?
What do you mean? They been doing this for awhile.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Probably because they got delisted on NYSE

HOLY SHIT!

 

[ginger ninja]

?

I missed something. Is konami known for running fitness clubs in JAP ?

 

[The Last One]

Not needed, they already written "fuck you".

 

[jbartee]

My point still stands.


We need verification from someone's twitter who's not associated with gaming at all.

guy. next to trends just click "change" and type "worldwide" into the region text box. no need to track down a hermetically isolated twitter account.

 

[G-Fex]

Good.

Needed to stop after 3.

 

[Leafhopper]

Multiple companies have other services in Japan. I think Sony still does health insurance for example.

 

[artsi]

They sure are.

 

[Gandalf]

This has broken my heart

It was kind of expected after what happened to Kojima though.

 

[LowSignal]

this is sad, I really wanted to play this. The P.T demo was amazing

 

[faridmon]

Moving out of the gaming industry is certainly going away. You think NeoGaf gives a shit about fitness clubs?

Lol do you think they give a shit of what Neogaf thinks?

 

[Donos]

Sony is doing big $$$ with insurances.

 

[Despera]

Good.

They made a dozen mediocre ones over the years and when they finally decided to make a good one it gets shit canned.

If this is a joke it's a very cruel one :'(

 

[Erevador]

Lol do you think they give a shit of what Neogaf thinks?

It's hard to miss the fact that they are trending on twitter worldwide, and that every major site with a story on this is jampacked with thousands of negative comments. They may not care about NeoGaf, but even a braindead company should release that trending with worldwide rage on twitter is not a good thing.

 

[NecromorphTX]

Goodbye Konami, go to hell.

 

[Namikaze]

Wow, i figured they would continue the project without Kojima, not just outright cancel it... after MGSV, I doubt they will be getting any more of my money.

 

[G-Fex]

How do you know it was going to be a good one? By that walking sim demo?

 

[MatthewTrujillo]

Seriously one of the biggest let downs for me in gaming. I absolutely love the silent hill franchise and after the room the series went way down hill. This was my hope for the series to return to it's glory that the first games achieved.

 

[dark10x]

Lol do you think they give a shit of what Neogaf thinks?

You think the public opinion around the internet doesn't make a difference? Look at what happened with Xbox One. If they leave gaming behind, so be it, but pissing off fans CAN have real repercussions on a business. We've seen it happen.

 

[FranXico]

Did you actually play it?

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Thanks Konami.

 

[G-Fex]

watched a stream, i'm not into that stuff

They are getting out of gaming anyway. Public Opinions from gamers have no effect one them. In fact, they can boast to their shareholders by saying that they went all out just to focus on more profitable business.

 

[Leafhopper]

Thanks Konami.

Lmao.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Hey Konami:

That is all.

 

[Xpliskin]

A defense force for everything.

And hopefully it will happen here (in spades).
