Wish Konami and Capcom merged like Square and Enix

Let's say Konami decides to sell their IPs, which Devs would you give them to?

No thanks. I don’t want Neil Druckman anywhere near MGS. Yuck.

Hasn't Kojima flat out stated he's done with the metal gear franchise. What would be the point in buying the IP to do nothing with it?

Yeah... and?
I was talking about the Mystical Ninja games which came out for the N64. Those never got another direct sequel.
Haven't checked the later games for psx/ps2 tho.

Capcom can barely keep their own IP alive, what do you think they would even do with Konami's? I mean, they haven't released an actual Breath of Fire RPG since the PS1. Even Konami was better with Suikoden.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Metal gear solid has a relationship with Konami, and there’s contracts preventing it from going to other publishers.

Give PES to Remedy Entertainment. They'd be so confused, like "what? Why us? We're not gonna do anything with this property." It would be funny.
Remedy could do great with Silent Hill. They'd also do great with Metal Gear Solid, but I think that property belongs with Kojima Productions.
I saw an early comment mentioning Castlevania going to From and that sounds like a fun idea, and a fun cop out too. I like the idea of the series' gameplay going in new directions. But of course, would From be going in a new direction?

I'd give devs who actively want to make a new game using whatever IP that works best for them, and interested in.
But it has to be a good fit and their track record in good standing.
Examples of a bad fit: From Software doing Gradius V or Mercury Steam doing castlevania.
Just....no.

I truly don't care about konamis IP...let them fade into the history of gaming. The industry hasn't suffered without them.

Castlevania probably to Moon Studios or Iga. I guess seeing a new 2D take by MercurySteam could be interesting as they have clearly improved a lot since Mirrors of Fate
Metal Gear: Kojipro, if not then I guess Sony so they can at least make some remakes or something with Bluepoint
Zone of the Enders: Maybe Respawn? And they can make a more mech heavy version of Titanfall from it
They can give it the sci fi/mystery twists.
Like you are the star player of a team but every time your team looses a game one of your loved one disappears under mysterious and paranormal circumstances. So you need to train and improve your team to avoid loosing more games while you investigate what is going on when you are off the court. It's a mix of sports, football manager and exploration/investigation with hints of survival horror.
First game ends as you reach the Champions League finals, overnight you get a call that the team manager has vanished and they are bringing in an emergency replacement. As you walk into the locker room you meet the new manager for the first time......it's Alan Wake.

Castlevania should definitely go to Mercury Steam, Lords of Shadow have been awesome, and the musics... PERFECTION.

Contra goes to HouseMarque this is no-brainer.
Silent Hill goes to Kojima... errr Bluebox
Castlevania goes to Mercurysteam because lets be real they crushed it out of the park with that first game. I don't want a super slick witch time castlevania or for it to feel like DMC... mercury steam gave the game weight like when you evaded you would land hard and slide back a bit. Just had a meaty feel that felt really close to the classic titles.

Americanized or not, I always hoped they would make a Metal Gear franchise about young solid snakes adventures. I think Naughty Dog or Bend would be good for it. (with some consultation from Kojima of course)

IPs are worthless without the devs to develop them.
Metal Gear without Kojima? Hard pass, I really can't understand why anyone would do that.
The smart thing at this point would be for them to focus on remakes to at least get something out of those IPs.

Agreed. Anyone who says that "No True Scotsman" is a logical fallacy has never considered an MGS without Kojima.

I think Suikoden should go back to the original creator.

So are all Konami owned IP’s. Which was the point of the entire thread. “IF” Konami decides to sell IP’s. It’s not like a new MGS or SH won’t sell, especially if Kojima is involved.

Silent Hill is about to be not dead according to lots of rumors.

Metal Gear to Kojima Productions is obvious.
Everything else to Bandai Namco.

You must have forgotten that Metal Gear SURVIVEd.
I think some of his fans forget he wanted to be done so he can be free to do other things multiple times, he's likely not interested in Metal Gear anymore, and you basically want him in a cellar making the games by force lol.

I could see Nintendo wanting it, would suck for everyone else though. Only other one you listed that makes even slight sense is square, wtf would Namco or Capcom do with it? And fucking lol@ CD, where the fuck did you get that from???
Suikoden is, and always should be, a turned base jrpg. Atlus could probably do something cool with it.
Or just go to rabbit and bear studios since that's the suikoden folks anyways

Namco and Capcom had and have Jrpgs, they are big enough studios to afford buying a franchise, and would ad some variety to their repertoire. It's Squenix actually that feels like they had no need for it, as they have tons of Jrpgs under their name, and all they have to do is make some spinnoff "Dragon Quest Armies" and it would sell lile hotcakes. Others indeed could do it better, but thinking in a hypothetical scenario where Konami is selling their IPs, i'm thinking who could actually afford them. That's why I only gave dead franchises to indies.
As for CDPR, they are RPG masters and could do wonders with a franchise lile this, even if they end up "revolutionize" some aspects. So does Bioware, but I didn't mentioned them because it would be EA the ones who would had to do the buying, and I can't imagine them getting interested in any of those.

If Kojima takes Metal Gear he will shelve it forever. He does not want to work on that series anymore.
I would instead give Metal Gear to either the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio(Yakuza/Judgment Series) or Tango Gameworks as a good challenge for either of them to see what they could come up with.

Sony could buy Konami digital entertainment and let them have the gyms, gambling, ect.

Contra, Castlevania, Cybernator, Axelay.
Whichever indie studio can do great modern takes on retro games for $20 each.

Reverse groomer.
Castlevania - From software or team cherry
MGS - Kojima productions
Silent Hill - Kojima productions
Gradius - This is a hard one. I can't think of that many prolific developers out there actively making 2d shootemups.
Contra - ID software. i wanna see a 3d FPS contra.
DDR, Beatmania IIDX, all of their other rhythm games - Sega
PES - can it entirely, sports games absolutely blow

Yeah, that might be true. So I say just don't make any more Metal Gear games. Maybe just remake the original trilogy.

If a single company had to buy all of them I think the best fit would be Sony. Regarding devs:
MGS: Kojipro or Bend
Silent Hill: Bokeh or Kojipro
Castlevania: From Software or wherever Igarashi is
Contra: JoyMasher or Housemarque
Gradius: Locomalito or Housemarque
PES: Sony San Diego
Bomberman: difficult one. Maybe Team Asobi, Media Molecule, Hoursemarque

The best selling Castlevania ever and the best selling Metroid ever are made by the same studio: Mercury Steam
