>mfw konami is finally getting what they deserve
I wish I could shake hands with the sleazy Yakuza fuck who conned those old dumbasses at Konami into abandoning games for their dying slot machines.
What a brilliant bastard.
>>315314886
Konami still were well within their rights to give him da boot for his terrible management and usage of funding and time.
>they go bankrupt and have to sell off their IPs
Who should get Metal Gear, Castlevania, and Bomberman?
>>315316062
inb4 Nintendo.
>>315315932
That doesn't excuse the fact that it was just a straight up bad fucking decision.
>>315314886
The irony being that their first fuck up was giving Kojima so much leeway without oversight in the first place.
>>315315932
not really. it's a niche game that has already sold 5 fucking million units.
>>315316062
I want Nintendo to have Castlevania.
I just really want a Belmont in the Smash series ok.
>Konami tries his best to destroy his gaming department in order to concentrate on pachinko

holy shit karma is a bitch
>>315315637
Got what they deserved after SilentHill, and Kojima
>Konami will go bankrupt within your lifetime.
It's like I've finally woken up from a nightmare.
>>315316062
Sony should get MGS, Nintendo should get Castlevania, and Bomber man should go toYacht Club.
Let Konami burn. Kojima will find work elsewhere.
Good riddance. That's what they get for scrapping PT.
>>315316285
I don't think you understand what niche means.
>>315315932
He knew it was going down and used everything he could to give them a final fuck you. He didn't want to make metal gear solid games since 2, you can argue 1. He had such a lust for revenge he burned up as much resources as he could and ate expensive food and fucked joosten for the entire development. Kojima is actually an evil genius
>>315316285
And likely still hasn't made up its budget yet.
>>315316062
Metal Gear is pretty fucking unique, I don't think I'd even want to see it by anyone else.
>>315315932

Fuck that garbage I want another Bomberman 64 with bomb jumping shenanigans.
>>315316515
>>315316515
Or he's just terrible at management and works best when there was someone vaguely there to tell him 'no Kojima we can't do that' rather than giving him a blank check
Never give artists blank checks, makes them sloppy.
>>315316716
Bomberman 64 was fucking dogshit though.
>>315315440
>>315315932
Yeah, Kojima was a deluded retard who let his own hype and foot fetish get to his own head. Needed to be put in his place.
But Konami still gets a shitty deal for letting him go. At least MGS is technically dead, unless they sell the rights.
>>315316579
You're a fucking idiot.
Konami announced that both MGSV and PES 2015 or whatever the other game was made a profit.

Which is the worst fuck up:
Activision buying King for 6 billion dollars
Or Konami putting all of their efforts into pachinko?
>>315317239
There's no way their marketing was more than $50 million. I live in a fairly large city and I didn't see jack shit. Nothing on TV, either.
>>315317020
The game made more than its budget moron. Its funny how anti-kojima idiots are just as retarded as kojimadrones.
>>315316062
Let Metal Gear die, the series is over and if they brought it back it won't be the same without Kojimbo.
I was going to say Sony should get Castlevania but then that would mean even more Lords of Shadow crap, so give it to Nintendo instead so they can give us our handheld metroidvanias.

Activision.
The only thing I'm sad about is what Silent Hills could have been.
MGS is fucking dead. MGSV has the best gameplay in the entire series and wrapped up the shitty story of Big Boss in a shitty way. It's done. What else can they do to milk the series out any longer besides remaking MG1 and MG2SS or a shitty film adaptation?
>>315316659

I dont believe that. He put alot of heart into 3 and even PW despite its flaws. I think he just got too ambitious. He also said he would only stop making mgs games when hes created the perfect one. Which explains why mgsv was cut. He went too far.
>>315317934
>>315318007
I actually made that suggestion a while after the MGSV endgame rage threads were flooding the board. Liquid/Mantis spinoff when?
Question: Has the legislation vote to change the gambling laws in Japan happened yet, or is Konami still banking on those being favorable?
>>315317595
WTF
>>315316851
You clearly didn't play it.
Good, hopefully they continue on their downward spiral and within a few years they'll end up having to sell all their assets. That's what they get for killing Metal Gear, Castlevania, Silent Hill etc.
>>315316851
Whoa hey hi is this the shitposting thread?

I'd buy that. I mean, what can be done with solid at this point? Revengeance got received pretty good, so why not make another spinoff game? At least then there would be something for us to talk about

No shit, its the same people who got older. It was one fucking generation of people who allowed themselves to get bled dry by pachinko.

That's because only four games were ever on Nintendo systems, one of which was a bastardized port of the first game, one of which was a non-canon sequel to said bastardized port which nobody wants to remember ever existing, one of which is a non-canon sequel to MGS (which was actually a brilliantly made game, but I digress) and the last of which is a remake widely hated by the fandom.

See this is where your argument falls apart. You're just an old jaded nostalgiafag stuck in the distant past who hates anything released after the 20th century and anyone who thinks otherwise is "the casual babby cancer killing muh vidya geams", so the quality of those games doesn't really matter since nothing will ever be good enough for you because you simply don't want it to be.

He ran the franchise into the ground and almost bankrupted konami in the process. How does that make you feel, dipshit?
MGS is great and all but it's not the only franchise they had under their belt. How many of the other franchises were forced to be put in permanent hiatus because of Kojima's over expenditure? Who's to say the studio couldn't afford to develop new gradius, contra, castlevania, silent hill, etc. Because they had to use the budget for Kojima's vanity projects? He was a cancer and had to be excised.
And there's absolutely no proof that they're focusing exclusively on pachinko machines. That's just one side of their corporation, and you're focusing on some clickbait report made by some french rag.

Comparing the best Metroid (Super) to the FPS Metoids is a bit like comparing apples to oranges.
However I think we can all agree that a true sequel to Super Metroid is the best course of action. Not Force Fed "Metroid".
>>315332238
You mean metroid 4 for the GBA? That came out in 2002.
>>315331884
So they're just like FFfags?
>>315332162
Well
>>315331639
This anon asked why you don't like Metroid Prime 1
>>315331884
You then replied with hostility about Metroidfags, the word "because" implying that you, in fact, don't like Metroid Prime 1.
I don't know why you're so angry.
>ctrl+F
>0 results for economic cycles
I'm thoroughly disappointed
>>315331461
Chill faggot, your allowed to not like games but at least take a moment to remember that fusion and zero mission also came out during that time frame.
But thats not going to happen is it?
>>315332393
No I meant a TRUE sequel on the flagship system, no some shitty side-story on a shittier hand-held.
>>315331884
>Not to mention, one encounter I had on this site with someone who hated Prime actually compared it to fucking Halo. I shit you not.
He is absolutely right though. Prime is just as shit as Halo.
>>315331461
>muh prime is bad meme
fuck off you moron

>It's too degenerate for the Buddhists
I just looked it up, Buddha isn't against gambling (since there was plenty of it going on in his lifetime). He's just against habitual, obsessive gambling.
How successful would Silent Hills have been do you suppose?
>>315331639
because it's not a Metroid game.
I hope they crash and fucking burn
>>315333110
If it looked and played as good as the Demo, enormously successful.
I'd buy the PS4 just for that game.
>>315314886
good year to sabotage kojima productions and fire kojima
nips once again prove why their industry went from world leading to dead
One of the bigger things that blew my mind is that the legendary gunsmith mechanic was not included in MGO3.
Like despite how I felt about V, that whole tinkering thing was probably one of the most fun things to do in recent vidya years.
Then they let the team go, so any chances of new maps / game modes / weapons / pc version will never see the light of day (not that they were there to begin with though). I find it hard to muster contempt for a company that isn't EA but god damn they're trying.
Hardware and software market is just like that, idiots. It goes up and down, just check EA's stock values. It fluctuates left and right. Sega remained in the red for 10 years straight and they're still on the market, Sony stayed on the red for seven years straight and they're still on the market etc.
The console market bubble happens from time to time, it dies off and comes back. Same with pachinko and slots in general, same with mobile and facebook games.
Stop replying to this thread like a bunch of fucking retards.
>>315333452
So MGO3 is dead right?
>>315333391
The domestic Japanese console market is dead, everything sells poorly there and competing against big game industries in the West is risky and most of the time not worth the money. It's called tactical withdrawing.
Like Sega did focusing on arcades, now they're turning into profit they're thinking back into maybe developing console games again like in the old times.
>>315316062
I want someone to also get ZOE and the Gradius series. (it should be Platinum and Treasure respectively)
>>315331884
i really liked Fusion :<
>>315333652
Oh yeah they were let go, some euroreporter thingy confirmed it.
MGO 3 is fucking super dead.
>>315332492
>This anon asked why you don't like Metroid Prime 1
>>315331461 wasn't me, though. I happen to like both Prime and Super Metroid.
How could they fuck up Pachinko revenue so badly? Did the degenerate gambler demographic move on to mobages?
>>315318326
its already part of political game, it will limbo for decade because politician need it for their card just like gay marriage, marijuana, etc etc
>>315335091
Just like actual games, there's good and bad pachinkos. Some are completely rigged, some are not.
And there's the ones like Hokuto no Ken with videos that advance the story the more you play. Pachinko can be one hell of a drug.
BTW "SNK" doesn't exist anymore, it's just Playmore using its name for quick cash grabs.
>>315314886
>Pachinko and mobile games will die in my lifetime
>>315316062
Metal Gear needs to go to Kojima so there never has to be another one. Castlevania can got Nintendo since there's no other big company doing 2D platformers. Don't give a shit about Bomberman.
So every retard spewing that Sony should take over MGS realises that all and any future MGS titles would be Playstation exclusive shit.
No thanks.

>implying Konami isn't actually a front for organized crime
>LITERALLY PACHINKO AND "HEALTH SPAS"
I wonder of those health spas have a no tattoos rules or not, I'm learning towards no.
>>315337852
actually they do have a no tattoo policy, fuck me.
>>315329187
>"Know your role" - Daffy Duck
Why didn't Konami listen?
>>315332762
Tendency.
>>315314886
>SNK Playmore is leaving the Pachislot business entirely to focus on game development
So, is possible to see another Metal Slug?not a shitty phone or pay2play steam game
C'mon SNK, Garou on steam with good netcode.
>>315333452
Isn't it bugged on PC allowing you to do way more than the consoles? I mean, that's rad, they shouldn't "fix" that, but still.

>>315326915
That's not fair, some of the best Metroidvanias came out on Nintendo handhelds.
>>315329742
shut up tard, if you think castlevania and do not think nintendo then you suck
where my circle of the moon niggas at?
>expect a thread about SNK Playmore
>receive a thread about Konami and Kojima
Although to be fair, now that SNKP is a chink company, whatever they end up doing won't impress me until the actual products come into reality.
