Good. Konami have lost the talent that held those franchises together. Time to license their IPs out.

@Gentle Rain I don't give a fuck about "crunch". Every employee should be willing to do that but this channel seems to complain about it a lot while painting Kojima as a God and savior.
@Don Draper what you going about crunch now? There isn't a single AAA game dev company in existence that doesn't DO crunch time. And yes some reputation, they skyrocketed with Kojima. They spended big, got banked big when the results came in and came in a reputation with it. In the end all of it was worth it.
@Gentle Rain Some reputation. Tomokazu Fukushima seems to have loved fixing Kojima's miscalculations. I am sure no "crunch" was involved there. He drained the division to nothing due to his ego. Everything had to be Kojima Productions focused. What he was doing wasn't popular enough to reach a new audience unless they had a prerequisite of playing Metal Gear Solid back in 1998. I do suppose this isn't all Kojima's fault. Konami did make the mistake of allowing it to happen. No company should have allowed the ... _talent_ (for lack of a better term) be that involved with the corporation.
@Don Draper Bankrupted them? More like went overbudget to give the company a REPUTATION. Sounds like a deal to me. Konami has been swimming in dollars since then thanks SOLELY to Hideo Kojima.
@Gentle Rain I get that people like Metal Gear but it's fans were waning. I get that people wanted his Silent Hills but for it's past critical acclaim, that property can't withstand a corporation cuz it's niche and considering how Kojima and del Toro love going on spending sprees on a company credit card, Konami was right. This was Kojima's fault.
Are these the guys who make those gambling machines? That killed what looked to be the most interesting silent hill game I ever seen(never played the others) I was even going to buy a PlayStation just for that game
Oh god please no more Silent Hills, just let the series rest
I'd love to see some classic konami titles get some new life. Castlevania SOTN needs a sequel. Bloodstained is great and all, but it isn't the same.
The video game industry is in a rut. Each year we get the same thing remade over and over again. New IPs aren't as willing to take a risk.
Fuck everything else I want a revitalized full remake of the very first original metal gear
The fact that they didn't see this coming is beyond me. Like what do you expect when you fire the only big developer you have, while on top of that not even trying to reboot some of your older beloved series. It kind of goes to show how stupid the higher up at Konami are, like all they had left was pes soccer aka fifa's little brother that no one cares about.
They better lend it to kojima
I'm pretty disappointed this is going to be a PS5 exclusive. I have an Xbox One X and have been playing the Metal Gear Solid games for about a year. MGS 3 is now one of my favorite single player games ever and I'm still playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Why would Konami shaft people who enjoy their games on other consoles? I understand Metal Gear Solid was an exclusive to PlayStation, but now that it's on other platforms it just feels like PS is throwing their weight around to get more sales.
....
Rock steady metal gear would be cool or silent hill by capcom woooooooo
Can’t wait for the remake MGS and just thinking about the “PT” game or Silent Hills game gives me chills. 🥶😱
I expected they'd tank due to COVID. No one gambles in Pachinko if no ones get to go outside most of the time.
Dusk Golem can't be trusted, he was making false information up regarding the PS5
It'll be interesting to see the new Silent Hill games, but I just wished the original Team Silent could make it. I can imagine it'd be difficult to pull of the writing, style, and atmosphere of the original 4 all while trying something different with the series (the team initially wanted to explore a 'horror in daylight' concept for the next game before Konami pulled a Konami and axed the original team because the 4th game didn't meet sales expectations). But I'm excited to see how the next games fair.
What in house titles
Will Konami licence these IPs out or will they just fuck us over anyways and let it die? I can just imagine the Japanese businessmen miniacly laughing.
Normally I might be mad that a company was out sourcing to a third party studio in this case I appreciate it
Maybe they’ll slide Castlevania on over to Iga so he start making more lit Metroidvania games.
Haha they better change director otherwise a name change ain't gonna do shit.
so, they gonna let kojima get his hands on one of those? that would be pretty ironic
i’d love a remake of the first two metal gears on the msx that’d be amazing having other people be able to play the first two games in the series
IMHO They should just sell their IPs and vanish
I will never understand why a "gaming company" would work so hard to ruin their reputation with the customers who buy their games (and even development talent) and then continue to do business in this space. Edit: Just looked at their financial disclosure for the year ending dec 2020. Looks like profits in most areas decreased slightly and the only thing that increased was gaming......I wonder if that combined with reports I keep reading of how well gaming in general is doing during the pandemic is causing them to try to salvage and expand the sectors of gaming they lit on fire a few years ago.
Lol I wish I would look at a non kojima mgs game...why so it could be made shitty ? A nice graphic boring game like red dead 2 or a generic open world Ubisoft like game
Konami should outsource Metal Gear Solid 6 to Kojima Productions. I know, I know, a lot of people are afraid that outsourcing such a beloved franchise to another company might potentially take it away from the original creators and put it into the hands of unknown and unproven developers (a very legitimate concern considering what happened with Metal Gear Revengeance), and yes, I know that Kojima Productions is still a young studio with only one game under their belt, but I really think they're the right team for the job. I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly, but there's something about their studio founder, Hideo Kojima, that tells me he'd be the perfect man to direct the next Metal Gear Solid game.
TT~TT someone save the IPs
Mgs 3 should be remade
Konami today has fallen so far. Castlevania developer left, kickstarted and founded his own similar franchise, Bloodstained. Suikoden developers left, kickstarted and founded their own similar franchise, Eiyuden Chronicles. Whos next?
LOL watching this whole video made me acknowledge that you actually consider Red Gaming Tech and Moore's Law is Dead, the NOtownrs who believed the PS5 had "Infinity Cache" and "rDNA3", whilst the Xbox had "rDNA1 only", as "Valid sources" because they predicted an OBVIOUS trailer that was going to happen. Obviously, OF COURSE Sony will show off the next God of War title. WHY wouldn't they. That's like saying in June 2020 "Microsoft will show off Halo Infinite gameplay in July!" That's an obvious, it's their major platform title. Or, as I should put it more appropriately; "Nintendo will show off Mario footage during their New Console's Nintendo Direct". lol.... I can't help but laugh here. Don't EVER consider them "Valid video game sources". Red Gaming Tech only has valid sources for AMD, because he's friends with a dataminer who specifically works on datamining AMD hardware information. Moore's Law is Dead obtains third-rate information from the 'same' twitter accounts as RGT, additionally he adds his own "spin" to everything; If it's not "Anti-nVidia, anti-Intel, pro-AMD", he's not going to talk about it...or spin it as a negative in one of those couple companies. LIke nVidia knocking off the ability to "Datamine" for their lower end graphics cards, which originally escalated the price of the RTX 20 series cards, now apparently is a horrible thing -- even though it was wanted HEAVILY in 2018. Need I go on? As for the "rumors", I suggest you go and look at the public Easter Eggs Microsoft dropped on Silent Hill's Twitter. Oh, yeah, didn't you realize the Official Twitter opened during the July Summer of Games event, which was primarily Microsoft? Should I also mention that this account is following numerous Microsoft employees, but 'just' the PlayStation Twitter account, nothing more in Sony's end? Should I also mention that Metal Gear is also being rebooted, but not by Sony (once more). No, Bluepoint is not doing anything worth of these titles. That's nonsense. BluePoint is specifically there (in the headlines) because Sony will merge with them, and consolidate the then-current aspirations of SiE Japan Studios and task this to BluePoint. Or, to put this very simply; BluePoint is an outsourced team of Sony employees who will work with other studios, much like SiE Japan did. Outside of the one development team they believe will be great for Japan. In this same regard, "remasters" aren't off the table, but not of these two specific titles. Instead, they'll be focusing on marketing methods for upcoming games -- like the next Souls title (hence Demon Souls) or the next Uncharted or, dare I tell you, Last Guardian, title. Does this make me a more credible source than MLID when this gets announced? This NOtown account is a throw away on purpose. I think I covered it all here, besides my previous comment: Can't wait to see what peoples reactions will be when they realize they're not just multiplatform, but going to be debuted on the Xbox Series X. At least one giant one that people just thought was a PS5 game *cough MGS I really, really can't wait :) People are going to lose their minds, more than when Sony announces God of War to PC. Oops, spoilers. Marketing material for more people to be interested in a game is important for Sony, as they'll push older or remasters to hype the 'next' version, which will be either an exclusive on the platform -- or a release for a previous title on PC to hype for the upcoming exclusive. Microsoft, on the other hand, has been on a reboot kick. Perfect Dark, Halo ('spiritual reboot'), Fable, Silent Hill (and PT; yes, this is Microsoft), and I'd love to say more. I can say more. There's actually quite a bit more titles that were suppose to be announced at E3 2020, but we're going to just let this settle for everyone. What would you do if, say, another famous "PlayStation game" was actually being announced for the Xbox Series consoles? Would you "lose your mind"? Or is the simple notion of the game actually being worked on 'good enough' for you? Are you a fan of the game, or a fan of the console? :) That's what I'm waiting for.
Time to take another shot at PT?
We all knew they were gonna collapse after what they pulled with Kojima. Can't say I feel bad for them. A large majority of publishers are just trash now and need to vanish into the ether.
That’s karma
konami : we got pachinko and healthclub and Mobile game Covid : here I come Konami : Pachinko = dead / healthclub = dead / Mobile game - only survivor left
Konami mind as well, sell metal gear to its rightful owner who will do the game justice.
Just give back Metal Gear to Kojima Thanks.
nope to a MGS remake that dosnt involve kojima.... kojima is a 3rd party developer, so it could still work out, konami just has to stop being the bad guys. ps. also, a vr version could be interesting, if done right.....but it could go badly too.
I hope Sony gets a crack at Metal Gear and Silent Hill.
Would be superfunny if Kojima bought the license to his old game-series, then re-released them, deleting the Konami-tag from them.
Konami should sell the rights of metal gear, silent hill, castlevania and many other games they killed to Sony so that those good games gonna have a another chance of brigther future.
No place for Hideo? No place for me.
I miss Team Silent. I wish they'd pull an IGA, get a kickstarter going for a new Silent Hill-like game.
'Hell, It's about time.'
Konami stock is on the way up btw, since Nov 2020.
Isn't Konami doing another business now? They couldn't give a shit about their triple A games.
great now metal gear can return to kojima productions
How about just give Kojima his games back and konami can fuck off. I have no respect for them after the god damn pachinko machines
If we can get a MGS IV Remake I would pre order it
It's finally time to put these legendary gaming franchises into good hands again. Pls for the love of everything.
thats a good thing for us all.can you see a capcom made silent hill? please!!!
konami should suffer for making yugioh cards so damn expensive
It speaks volumes about how deeply incompetent Konami is as a business that it took them this long to realize this
I don't want a remake. I can play the original any time I want, on several consoles
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL KONAMI WANTS KOJIMA BACK 🤣
Make metal gear games in the universe but let snake die plz.
Konami: Why does no one like our games anymore? Everyone: Bruh, you fired Kojima.
Imagine Konami ends up lending MGS to Kojima Productions, and Castlevania to ArtPlay Inc.
Look, I’m sure making a game is hard. But if you’ve a ton of skill workers, well known IPs and high tech equipments / softwares. I would like to think you are 90% there already... Konami made so much STUPID move for so long that I dare say they are the absolute worst game developer out there right now. More so than EA, UBISOFT and Blizzard. Yes, they also have horrible line up. But you can still somewhat enjoy their game. Even though you might hate you can see its potential.. Konami’s game (other than PES (rivalling EA fifa how about that)) is downright unplayable. It is insulting to the game industry. Hell it insulting to EA.
ehhh konami, try that new studio name kojima or something i think they can deliver the next game of metal gear or silent hill
They licensed the Pyramid Head to BHVR. They value themselves very low
I can see someone creating Metal gear online 3 hopefully 🤞🤞
lol imagine they license to Kojima
So you are saying... *METAL GEAR RISING 2 HAS A CHANCE?!*
Good. - Zelda, The Wand of Gamelon on CDI
they should contract capcom to do metal gear
I am not sure that anything good is coming from this. Third party studio can fuck up everything just as bad as Konami. It looks like Konami is not willing to provide the budget to developers. MGSV was unfinished because Konami cut the line before they thought that game is good enough to hit the shelves and any more investments won’t be justified. I fell bad for people that developed game engine. It was wonderful.
Kojima, pleassssseee take back your baby
So this is happened after Konami fired Kojima? I guess it looks like Konami depended on Kojima.
I hope the old FOX Engine turned GUERILLA Engine Crew hears this🤞🤞
I don't give a shit about Metal Gear. I give *many* shits about Castlevania. Can we get a Platinum Games Castlevania?
Now i'll read more deeply into your soul. Ah.. I can see into your mind.. so you like SUIKODEN? - Psycho Mantis 1998
Oh No! Anyway..
While normally I'd applaud a company turning itself around, Konami is the exception. Konami is the white whale that represents everything wrong with the industry and I'd rather see it burn as an example to other "too big to fail" companies.
Turns out it's Dino Crisis
Can Konami just let platinum games do a rising sequel really want to see a version of that game with more time dedicated to it
Im not buy a mgs remake is kojima aint on it
It'd be really cool if companies could make new games instead of just remaking old ones.
Can we get a Suikoden game?
they should just let bluepoint remake metal gear
Wasn't bluepoint also supposed to be working on a Soul Reaver remake? Are they just the PS remake studio now?
SNAKE!!! SNAKE!!!
This could be announced in state of play just saying
metal gear phantom pain should be finished
Konami made A LOT of games that people like. They just need to.go back to their roots. Go back to making games like Contra, Ninja Turtles, Jackel, Castlevania, Gradius, etc. And how about some more: up up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start.
Wish konami just stops doing games of metal gear thay proven thay cant do it. Survive is a good example
I hope sony buys metal gear solid and silent hill ip and give it to kojima productions
its not silent hill its Moryuu Senki Madara 3
The games will probably be pay to win 😂
Konami's ips should be let out to gamemakers who really respect and love those ips
Castlevania should be made by mercury steam i like what they did with lords of shadows 1
Please let them outsource Castlevania to Artplay, lol
Konami? Na. Not my metal gear anymore. Don care make new, remake or remaster. To me is as good as dead.
Lol kojima productions is a 3rd party company. Just have them handle the mgs remake
Konami just has to license Castlevania to Fromsoftware, Metal Gear to IO Interactive and Silent Hill to Kojima Productions.
Panda Contra failed,as it was terrible .
Konami died the day they let Hideo Kojima go.
Everyone is talking about Kojima, but you forgot Igarashi (Castlevania) and Nd Cube (the part of Hudson Soft that is with Nintendo instead of Konami). Edit: And also Garena, they made Contra Returns.
THIS IS WHAT SPEAKING WITH YOUR WALLET LOOKS LIKE
I’m quite sure that if MGS is not supervised by Kojima, no one gonna buy that shit.
Meanwhile in Valheim: 4m copies sold.
