I still don't understand their decision on that. They chose the worst time to stop making games.
All they did was make shitty games besides the MGS series for years. They shit up every single other franchise. The second they actually revive one of their franchises and hit a gold mine with the perfect team working on it they back out and quit gaming.
Silent Hills getting cancelled is honestly one of the worst things I've ever personally experienced in gaming. It honestly hurts.

Everything about what they're doing is nonsense. This isn't even a good time to get into the pachislot business. There's a reason SNK backed out of it to get back into making games. It's turbulent and laws in Japan surrounding it are unstable as hell.
I can understand why they might be pissed off at Kojima, given MGSV went way over budget and over time and clearly wasn't even finished by the time they forced it out the door, but that doesn't justify burning it all down and salting the earth.
If there is money to be made Konami will license out these franchises.
>>340010552
They are whoring them to pachinko. No need for licensing.
>>340010476
Fuck it, get pissed at Kojima, but don't you dare bench Del Toro and Junji Ito on a Silent Hill game, especially after what was showcased in P.T.
I really wanna see Junji Ito ideas and designs in a horror game.
>>340010407
>Castlevania
oh fuck
>>340010552
I can't imagine anything good coming of that. We'll likely just wind up with every franchise becoming post PS2 Silent Hill.
This is now a blue balls / cucked by paCHINKo thread.
Motherfucker, how could you talk about dead Konami franchises with no Bomberman or Castlevania?
>>340010552
How much do you think they'd charge for suikoden?
Should I buy it, anons?
>>340011085
Or Contra, how could he forget Contra?
>>340010060
Yes but owned by 3 different companies (Square Enix, Namco and Nintendo respectively).

You forgot:

>tfw gradius vi never
well, at least it ended on a good game
>>340013302
Actually, I shouldn't have said Gradius, he did add that.
Yeah I'm glad it ended on a high note as well. Contra Rebirth wasn't bad either. Meanwhile, Bomberman is getting the kind of death no franchise deserves.
>>340013515
Castlevania, metal gear and silent hill get to have their corpses drug through EROTIC VIOLENCE pachinko machine valley.
Fuck man, that shit makes me want to nuke Tokyo
>>340013772
Yeah, looking back that's even worse. Maybe Bomberman can have a more dignified end. Thinking back, the franchises that died early, the ones in the 90s that never saw the light of day again, they were the lucky ones.
>>340008693
Every faggot here forgets sunset riders. Fuck you all! That game was awesome and deserved a sequal and hd remake.

They know that, that's why Konami literally came out and said over a year ago that they were focusing on mobile garbage and arcade games going forward. Never once have they mentioned anything about investing heavily in pachinko. The pachinko thing is a fucking Internet meme with no basis in reality.

You're right. It's pachislot, not pachinko. There's already 3 CV pachislot games. I have the osts for all of them.

Honestly, given konami's state nowadays, it's for the best.
>>340015347
Certainly seems like a reality what with all their nonstop trailers for pachislot games, plus the news about game developers being relocated to work on pachislot machines.
>>340013286
Oh, are going hudson now?
Step aside, casuals.
You don't know true suffering.
With all the shit going on in modern gaming, I looked to a savior, a company I could trust. I knew I couldn't trust Nintendo with their censorship, amiibo scams and region locking shit, or MS who tried to destroy physical games and make everything cloud based, and now I know I can't trust Sony due to them scamming people with the PS4 when they have an upgrade waiting 3 years after launch. And of course Steam has always been a scam since it's all DRM protected because they own the rights to "your" games.
But in the wake of this I know who to trust, who actually has my best interests at heart. But you'll have to let me explain because it sounds deranged. Denuvo. Because they don't want me to buy a new console a year or two after I buy a PS4 and "keep gaming" or to buy cloud connected game to "keep gaming" or to buy amiibos so I can unlock on disc DLC and "keep gaming" with compromised, censored games.
No, Denuvo just doesn't want me to play games at all. Because when Denuvo is on a game--I can't play it, full stop. Since Steam is not an option, a game using Denuvo merely means I won't be able to play that game. They don't ask anything more. There's no lower quality compromise like an old PS4 or a 360 arcade. There's no scam they're running. They want me to go outside, to be free, to frolic in the hinterlands. They whisper in my ear "go read a book," or "go watch anime," they whisper to me of the joy that can be had outside the gaming madhouse. And when all PC games use Denuvo, that will be the day I am truly free. I'm not kidding. This is how bad it has gotten. The only salvation is an end to video games.
>>340014396
>Maybe Bomberman can have a more dignified end.
He got a mobile game in japan a while back that was multiplayer centric.
We never got it.
The last thing we got was this.

I don't know if this is pasta or not, but I had a laugh.

This is not how business works. They wont give away a product that can make profit to anyone else. It's just that someone thinks that pachinko and mobile games is better choice for profits.
>>340008693
>Silent Hill
Thank fucking god. They've raped the series to shit and I'd rather see it die and enjoy the first 4 in the series without acknowledging the existence of anything else.
>>340015984
You have had too much chocolate milk.
>>340015784
>>340015901
Look at the number of machines they put out in a year. Look at the amount of cash they invest in making them, it's a fraction of what they spend makingmobilegames. They literally invested less in the pachislot division last year than in the year before it, knowing that shit was about to go downhill. Sorry if you had to find out Konami that made gambling machines after Silent Hills got canned, but they've actually toned it down recently.
>>340015984
Don't forget that even Sony did region locking back in the day, not to mention attempting to kill 2D games in the PS1 era. Basically, When it comes down to it, you can't trust any company. That's just how it is. They'll do whatever they want so long as it doesn't hurt their bottom line.
I've been playing the vidya since 92, and all my years with Nintendo, Sega, and Sony have taught me that much. I never bought an Xbox so I wouldn't know much about Microsoft besides what I've heard.
>>340010476
>MGSV went overbudget
MGSVs budget included the development of the FOX engine and Ground Zeroes and was 80 million, it's not that much, especially compared to MGS4 70 million budget. Also V was being released on 5 platforms versus 4s single platform release. MGSV was not over budget.
>>340017081
>80 million, it's not that much,
>Suikoden
>Zone of the Enders
>Castlevania
These three series made Konami my favorite company up to the PS2. And simultaneously made me hate them the most from the PS2 on for not supporting them.
>>340017081
Given they went and released the game's prologue for extra cash and then pushed the game out the door half finished, I think it's safe to say the development wasn't going according to plan.

Good. MGS ended on 4 and the silent hill series got stale since the fourth one. Let kojima work on something else that's not pandering garbage like mgs5 was.
The worst thing about konamis is that del Toro will never work on another Video game after konami canceled silet hills.
>>340017875
It didn't even get the dignity of one sequel
>>340018470
Kojima is too busy tweeting shit. Expect the new game by 2020.

The dickriders that keep going ape over some slot machines they're never going to play are the same people that forgot Konami is hiring for a new Metal Gear game, and the ad literally has Kojima's name on it.
>>340019529
I'm with you. The whole charade he keeps doing really deserves to have him kicked out of the industry.
Fine by me. I want new IP's, not the 100000000th sequel to MGS or Castlevania. Glad Kojima and Igarashi are out of that mess.
>>340019790
>I want new IP's, not the 100000000th sequel to MGS or Castlevania
I mean you're basically still getting them just under a new name, kinda takes the luster out of muh new ips.
>>340016515
You have no idea what you're taking about
>>340019749
I don't want another Metal Gear. I just want Contra, Gradius, Axelay and Z.O.Es. They can make their fucking pachinko machines and health clubs and whatever other cancerous shit they come up with.
>>340020719
They will return eventually, just like SNK. And MGS garbage is guaranteed at this point.
>>340008693
Parodius and Twinbee. Cute'em-ups had an absurdly short life cycle. I reckon the death of this genre is the exact moment Japanese games went through the shitter to become the blueprints for the modern western game.
>>340021058

Cuteness is degeneracy

I wish Jap weren't such a hard language to learn so I could understand all the untranslated Goemon games.
Is Pachinko really that big? It is just slot machines that don't exist outside of Japan.
