There really needs to be some explaining going on now. I wish someone would get to the bottom of all this and get the real scoop about what's going on in konami.

I don't think it's anything complicated.

Konami : "Why the fuck are you all (Konami devs) working on a Silent Hill game when you all can be making more MGS!?"

 

[Hitokiri03]

I’m not sure if I want to buy MGS5 and give money to this shitty company.

 

[SarcasticD]

Today, Konami officially becomes the worst company in the gaming world lol

 

[Resident Evil King]

There was a game here. It's gone now.

 

[cm osi]

is konami into S&M?

 

[ShogunDarius]

cant say i'm surprised, it does look like konami will be drifting away from the game industry

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Welp, that's depressing.

 

[Eidan]

Fucking Konami. Jesus

 

[vareon]

TODAY WE ARE CANCELLING THE GAMES!

Spoiler

Poor GDT.

 

[etta]

I’m not sure if I want to buy MGS5 and give money to this shit company.

Buy it used?

 

[Asd202]

I feel like Konami is done with video games in like 2 years or so. They threw the last ounces of anything regarding a following down the toilet with the rhythm game fans and the Kojima debacle.

Most definitely. After the next MGS without Kojima fails miserably there will be out of gaming for good.

 

[alr1ght]

I guess Konami's game producing business has gone....silent.

 

[spekkeh]

Thanks Obama

 

[PetriP-TNT]

RIP Silent Hill (again)

 

[hotandserious]

Hopefully Sony can back the game and reassemble the team - just retitle it The Phantom Terror (P.T.) and everyone will know what it is.

 

[pinkurocket]

Ok I hope they just let the Silent Hill franchise die. It can't be saved anymore. I don't want any more mediocre crap to taint the series. Fuck Konami. We had a potential masterpiece on our hands here!

 

[liquidtmd]

After TPP, I'm out in terms of Konami. Never again. Part boycott, part they legitimately don't have anything else of interest, part the lack of communication about any of this.

 

[Novel Mike]

Honestly I hope these decisions kill Konami, its amazing how badly the company has been run over the last 5-10 years and when it finally looked like they might turn it all around Kojima is leaving/being forced out/fired and the most exciting horror game in a decade is canceled. Between what they've been doing by sending games off to die without any damn marketing, that e3 2010 press conference (seriously go watch it again, its amazing how bad it is and how everyone on stage seems to be high as kite), whats happened with Kojima recently, and everything else they've done I just have intention of supporting this company anymore.

I was hyped for MGS5 but no longer going to buy it I want nothing to do with anything they put out anymore.

 

[Raynes]

Can't wait to see Konami stocks plummet.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

It was a given as soon as all that business between Konami and Kojima started cropping up, but goddamn does it still hurt.

 

[MrBadger]

Fuck's sake.

 

[CalamityPixel]

This is the true horror.

 

[JoeyJungle]

It's pretty much over for Konami after MGSV anyway... What are they producing besides that anyway?

They haven't gotten around to canceling Pro Evolution Soccer yet.

 

[TomShoe]

Buy it used?

Amen to that, that's what I plan on doing.

 

[Data West]

Maybe Sony realises there's better franchises to sink money into?

Like a reboot of Primal or Ghosthunter?

or more Yakuza localizing moneys

 

[Xater]

Not surprised at all. First thought that crossed my mind when the Kojima business was happening was that this is probably cancelled.

 

[OraleeWey]

Is this the game Kojima was working with Del Toro?

 

[Tesseract]

'

 

[Piers]

Maybe P.T. should never have been solved.

 

[sheepishlord]

Gutted. P.T was one of the freshest gaming experiences i can remember and the scariest piece of media i'd ever come across.

Fucking Konami.

 

[GlamFM]

Fuck.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

Konami has some of the greatest games in the history of video gaming with no talent left to develop them.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I mean, I would rather it not happen than Konami go ahead without Kojima on it. Maybe this way Del Toro and Kojima can get help making a horror game from a company whose management isn't actually just man-sized babies.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Is this the game Kojima was working with Del Toro?

Yes.

 

[Chobel]

Fuck yo Konami!

 

[Robaperas]

Not like this...

Well If true, we'll get another weird soulless Silent Hill, what a sad prospect.

 

[Shredderi]

It's a fucking shame what it is.

 

[Ushiwaka]

Fuck.

Silent Hills was a dream project. Kojima + Del Toro. The insanity would have been beyond comprehension. Fuck you Konami, fuck you.

 

[GringoJB]

cant say i'm surprised, it does look like konami will be drifting away from the game industry

That's what I keep thinking, too. I can't fathom how they'd want to stay in and let something as potentially special as this float away.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Or bomberman

Buying/assimilating Hudson just to... kill everything was... business is a weird place.

Now you get the stubbornness of holding on to IP and doing nothing with them, literally nothing, and not selling them on. Because they're "assets".

 

[Edwards_Omatic]

Worst news I've heard in a long time.
P.T was one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. Fucking fuck

 

[HMD]

Sony would never touch this project, as much as we like to deny it, Kojima is expensive, and Konami was only willing to throw money on Silent Hill to revive the dead franchise, and I guess they officially gave up.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

I really never wish a company to die off because of all the good people involved whose jobs depend on the company, but this is cutting it real close...

MGSV will be my last Konami title, but I'll be making a custom cover with Kojima's name on it.

 

[Slowdive]

 

[BigTnaples]

Fucking Konami. After MGSV, I'm done with them.

 

[Hitokiri03]

Buy it used?

Looks like that's the option that I will consider.

 

[Pooya]

konami itself is a silent hill now, derp.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Wow. I'm kind of heated. At least we got P.T.?

 

[braves01]

Was there a change in management at Konami or something? I don't understand why they're doing this.

 

[Alienous]

Konami.

KONAMI!
