Yeah i'm waiting for a proper remaster, remake of the silent hill series. Give us one at lease lol. I missed out on that game back then. I tried using an emulator and it just looked like shit, played great, but looked like shit. And I wasn't sure how to tweak it then so I gave up.

After seeing what they did with Contra, no thanks I'm good.

Modern Konami just needs to stick to repackaging their classics in compilations. No need to tarnish the legacies or the brand of these classic series.

They don't earn as much money from raw AAA videogame side. THey had SH, MGS and their Pachinko Machines and mobile knock-offs generated more profit.

That may be a short-term strategy to bank on existing franchises but so far they are doing well and have no interest in fronting a large sum of money for a risky AAA project vs safe earning cash cow. No big company would really, that's the sad reality.

 

[mejin]

Hope the partnership with Sony is true. So, the ip can still be saved.

 

[Doczu]

Because they don't have the talent to do it anymore. The last two "mainline" games were products of their time, where the suits thought people wanted a more action oriented game, with more defined combat. Downpour tried to mix some good horror elements in it, but it was mediocre at best.
Then you had Shatered Memories and the mistake that was Book of Memories. The talent was gone sadly...

Rumor is there is one in production going to be announced this year but nobody here (rightfully) believes it.

Contra is special is though. In a day in age when most games are mostly okay, Rogue Corps is remarkably bad. It's not like Konami hasn't done some dumb shit with Silent Hill anyway.

MGS is what they really need to hand off to someone else already.

 

[Holammer]

Maybe it's not as popular as you think it is.
It's probably a series that has seen a constant [sales] decline with each iteration, but a vocal minority keeps making it seem bigger than it actually is.

What's obvious about Konami's change in recent years is they no longer have anyone who's passionate about games in the top brass. No one to push for passion projects, take creative risks. These days it's only about the bottom line. Their current portfolio says as much.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

You want another disappointing game?

 

[lastmessiah]

You want another disappointing game?

Ha, good point.

 

[kurisu_1974]

They are making a lot more money with their current business practices

That recent PC Egnine mini doesn't fit that tho, and they did a great job with that.

 

[Happosai]

I'm still waiting for them to make a prequel to the Ganbare Goemon games that came out on Super Famicom!

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I think they might be more profitable now, while doing half the work. If for some reason Sony licenses or pays them to make a Silent Hill. Im going to laugh. Sony paying Activision to make Spyro and Crash games were such a bad move for them.

 

[KOMANI]

I don't know about you guys, but when I'm sitting alone, typing nonsensical rants about Konami... I like to do it on my new Konami keyboard https://www.4gamer.net/games/496/G049613/20200701017/

[Rathalos]

Just sell the IP to Capcom and have the RER boys work magic.

 

[Kerotan]

All these SH begging threads bode well for the inevitable ps5 reveal.

 

[Mahadev]

Because Konami is no longer a videogames company.

 

[Kumomeme]

kojima left good Fox Engine and they wasting its potential

 

[Ashraf’s Lioness]

Trash Konami all you want. The moment they start putting out new decent SH and MGS they'll be cheered.

I want to believe Sony has it up its sleeve to KO Xbox

 

[Sticks]

According to Digital Foundry, if you play your 360 copy on your One, it fixes all the initial technical problems.

This is not true unless they threw in a patch.

 

[KOMANI]

Comment on their video

edit: here you go 1 hr and 2 mins in

 

[LordCBH]

I don't get why they don't just license their IP out to other companies to make games with. Free money for konami, AND they can still make their garbage pachinko games.

 

[quickwhips]

The better question these day is: Why is Konami?

I'll do you one better with What is Konami!
