I like the memes against Konami like any good neighbour, but I would be really excited to see new Metal Gears and Silent Hills. At least I want to see them try.

Konami: "High-end console games are the most important to us", they want to expand their portfolio with "Globally Known" IPs
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
Globally known? Well there went any hope for Suikoden.
Then again, judging by the new Contra game that might be for the best because so far nothing I've seen of that has reminded me of Contra.

Since when, Konami. You largely haven't given a shit since, what...2015? Even farther back if MGS5 isn't them giving enough of a shit (which I don't think it is, so even farther back.)
don't know if they took notice of capcom but just other japanese publishers in general, most overcame the rut they were in 5-10 years ago adapting to the HD era. maybe they're seeing fertile ground there again
pretty skeptical though. one of those i'll believe it when i see it deals

I would be all over any number of ports and sequels and such. Should be easy enough for Konami to bring on Platinum for a Revengeance follow-up.

What's the full story on Kojima's dismission then? From what I've heard, MGSV was taking too much time and too much money to develop, and they decided to cut the project short to invest in more "profitable" markets e.g. pachinkos.
Yeah.
I'm at the point where I would be satisfied with Konami just giving us great collections of their/Hudson's legacy IPs.

I don't know why anyone wants a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. The original is perfectly fine. Just port the HD collection bluepoint made again.
I wanna say that they'd have to do a lot to prove how sincere they are here, but I think a lot more people would jump on MGS remakes than they would like to admit.
Them having those IPs is most of the reason why there's no hope for a Bloody Roar revival even though we live in one of the best times for Fighting Games since the 90s.
I'll believe it when I see Castlevania, Suikoden, Goemon, or the vault of sealed away Hudson IPs unlocked ;)

The Kotaku article in a few years is going to be mindblowing lol
Eh, this being Konami Europe makes this a nothing statement, it's not the mothership (Japan) and even if it was I'd still be skeptical considering how many presidents, vice presidents, etc that company has.
It does seem weird to resurrect Castlevania the way that they have with the series and collections unless they want to do something with it.
Here's hoping.
Here's hoping.
They could put the P.T. demo back online for starters ...........
Good luck finding veteran talent to make those famous global IPs
Wouldnt trust that any working conditions have changed since everyone jumped ship
.. or was forced to walk the plank

People needs to read the whole article before rejoy. There is nothing new or good for the home console market. They still don't give a shit and they will not. It's just a PR vague sentence as always. The actual management of konami not give hope to such stuff. Until the big heads remain the same, konami is dead.
Konami Europe (UK) does at least co-dev PES now. They do mobile stuff too.
I think Rouge Corps exists so they can try to capitalize on the Switch releasing in China. Contra: Return, a mobile game by Tencent, appears to be very popular and worth the effort to Konami that they see an all-new audience to go after.
They are working on a new Castlevania game, and it will be publicly playable at the Tokyo Game Show. Of course, the platform its on may not be up to your liking, but it seems their following the Mega Man X direction with Mega Man X Dive being the "new" game following a collection.
Its never a bad time to crrect yohr mistakes and patch some bridges. But good lord Konami do you some work ahead of you, a fuckton of work.
Yeah right.
Lol I've always loved this gif even if its so messed up. Konami has so many great titles that hopefully we can see some of them next gen on console.
More AAA opportunities for japanese devs would be great but I am waiting for something more substantial than a declaration of intentions.
They had them since 2012 when Hudson Soft merged with them. Bomberman was originally a Hudson IP.
It's also the only one that Konami currently gives a crap about.
What's with people wishing for a MGS3 remake? Fuck that, it would suck, just port the existing PS3/360 HD collection and the original PS1 title to modern systems as is.
To go along with the PCE mini they should really do a PCE retro line or collection on eShop, PSN, XBL and Steam. If M2's stretched too thin then D4 Enterprise could do it (they did MSX and PCE on Wii U VC for Konami).
