Konami is officially dead (Ceases all AAA Console Game Production)

[spliz]

No more metal gears

Im just gonna have to savor MGSV even more. Won't be beating this game for a while

Things Imma afraid of with Metal Gear is the content moving forward. How the fukk is it gonna be handled?. I said before the campaign is gonna be fine but when it comes to further game support its gonna be an issue.

Finally Kojima can work on something other than Metal Gear.

Never played a Konami game outside PES games and that was 10 years ago. Can't say that i care

you never played the likes of:

contra
castlevania
gradius
life force
TMNT
blades of steel

Sony cut that check to Kojima and offer 100 mil to Konami for the Metal Gear property now!!!!

I hope so. and who cares if MGS cost $80M to make? the game sells out the ass, so its not like they're not gonna recoup their investment.

A lot of Japanese publishers fukked themselves last gen by betting on the 360 and now they can't even afford to develop AAA console games. Take Capcom for example, they have yet to publish a AAA by themselves this gen thus far. MS published Dr3 for X1 launch. Sony fronting the money for SFV development. Should have stayed exclusive to PlayStation or at least built all there games on the PS3 hardware and ported down to 360 later. But nah they wanted to play the big boy game and be like EA and shyt.

The PS3 is the reason for the console collapse in Japan. Consoles were doing fine in the PS2 generation and the PS3 comes out costing an arm and a leg and Japanese gamers moved on to handhelds and cell phones. The PS2 never had a viable successor.

You never played Castlevania? Contra?

 

[Rekkapryde]

. Good riddens

 

[feelosofer]

Fact of the matter is after 1998 Konami had only 4 viable franchises. Contra (which really hasn't had a great game in years and had been surpassed by Metal Slug), Castlevania (which they've only been publishing for the most part not developing), Winning Eleven Soccer (which has essentially been made obsolete by EA's FIFA games), and the Metal Gear games (which Kojima was getting tired of doing). After Kojima left, I thought that was a death blow to Konami. Also I think the advent of mobile gaming just makes more sense for Japanese developers. Most Japanese are abandoning console games, hell even Nintendo is outsourcing Mario to get on tablets and cell phones.
