To all the people saying "I'm not gonna buy MGS5" please don't kid yourself. You are gonna buy it sooner or later.

Konami is a hollow shell of what it use to be. Silent Hills was probably the first Konami game that had me interested in a while with the combination of Kojima, Toro, and Reedus. Now that it's not happening, we can finally move on.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

or more Yakuza localizing moneys

Nagoshi is such a pimp!

 

[Feindflug]

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

Like a reboot of Primal or Ghosthunter?

Primal and Ghosthunter better than Silent Hill? Miles pls.

Back to the topic Silent Hill must be truly cursed.

 

[Bishop89]

what the hell is konami's problem?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Toro and games seem to be cursed at this point.

 

[lobdale]

This really could be the beginning of the end of that entire company... you never see it coming, then you've got companies like Hudson, Enix who one day are just like poof later.

But I dunno. Wouldn't they just try to totally whore out their franchises before the end? Are they trying already? It's so confusing what's going on there.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

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

Not for long.

P.T might be gone from the PS Store after April 29th

 

[NoKisum]

What major releases does Konami have coming out after MGS V is done?

Seriously asking.

 

[Nightengale]

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.

Sony already has one.

 

[Pop]

Just completely crazy what's happening with Konami. They have somehow made Ubi look like the better company now.

 

[Holundrian]

What is Konami even worth anymore no Suikoden, no Silent Hills, no Kojima MGS/Projects. Sadness...

 

[Filthy Casual]

FUCK, so much potential as well.

 

[Situacao]

Man, I don't even really like horror games, but I loved P.T. and was going to buy Silent Hills..

Oh well, now Konami is just a PES machine it seems.

 

[Liamc723]

The quicker Konami leave the videogame industry and sells its IPs the better.

Fuck this shit company.

 

[KZObsessed]

Fuck you Konami!

 

[t hicks]

Fuck...
I mean I saw this coming, but still...

 

[NotLiquid]

It was too good to be true

Console Games is a small part of their real money. They can drop console games and be just fine.

 

[HMD]

Slot machines.

 

[sleepykyo]

Dang it.

 

[The Lamonster]

Fuck off Konami. Get your shit together next time.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Feel bad for Del Toro. Seems like he wants to make a game but he keeps getting in bed with shitty companies.

Sony or Microsoft should collaborate with him.


And also people don't seem to realize that games aren't really a part of Konami anymore and this won't mean the end of the company.

 

[teiresias]

FU Konami. FU

 

[Sn4ke_911]

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

Same with Capcom. So many great unused IP's.

It's a shame.

 

[AlexIIDX]

Maaan, P. T. was so promising. Just a demo and everyone I had play it thought it was awesome and incredibly frightening... Huge disappointment.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

The quicker Konami leave the videogame industry and sells its IPs the better.

Fuck this shit company.

They're more likely to license out more film adaptations than sell any IP.

 

[The Lamp]

This is insane. I was looking forward to this.

Just give me MGS5, Konami, and then leave the games industry to do your slot machines and stuff. No one needs you anymore.

 

[Easy_D]

You know what would make you feel better, Del Toro? Get working on At the Mountains of Madness

 

[Americanmushroom]

Wtf!

 

[GeoramA]

I'm really really surprised Sony isnt trying to step in and pick this up.

Maybe Sony knew this was going to happen. Probably why they didn't announce it on stage.

 

[Yen]

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

Complete restructuring. I'm not even sure of Kojima Productions will be credited with the game, or if it'll be 'Konami Digital' or whatever

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

What major releases does Konami have coming out after MGS V is done?

Seriously asking.

They are hiring a team to create the next Metal Gear. At this rate I expect them to exploit this franchise like Capcom does with RE. MGS will be run into the ground because it's all they got.

 

[Nightengale]

Maybe Sony knew this was going to happen. Probably why they didn't announce it on stage.

Whut.

 

[ironcreed]

This is insane. I was looking forward to this.

Just give me MGS5, Konami, and then leave the games industry to do your slot machines and stuff. No one needs you anymore.

That is probably their plan.

 

[cooperma]

So does this mean just Del Toro/Kojima version of Silent Hill is dead - or there's no new Silent Hill game at all?

The way this reads to me is that Konami is just gonna go and make their own game the way they usually do. Will probably be shit I guess

That's scarier than anything in P.T. I hate this. If it wasn't for the fact that TPP was Kojimas grand opus I wouldn't buy it. Fact of the matter is - if we don't buy it they look at it as doing the right thing since it didn't make a ton of money. If we do buy it, it reinforces their idea to make their own yearly MgS.

Where is my pick option c death wish button?

 

[SwordStruck]

Confirmed what we all feared, terrible news.

 

[Yoshichan]

... the anger I have inside me right now.

 

[BassForever]

To all the people saying "I'm not gonna buy MGS5" please don't kid yourself. You are gonna buy it sooner or later.

One can always wait for used copies to show up at gamestop or other game stores before purchasing it to "support/celebrate Kojima's effort but not give Konami any money"

 

[SolidSnakex]

Eh...It's basically what you expect with how Konami has treated Silent Hill since taking it away from Team Silent.

At least there's a decent possibility that Toyama is going to end up doing a Morpheus based horror. He's expressed interest in doing a FP horror title, so Morpheus would be a natural step for that game.

 

[pantsmith]

PT and Silent Hills are easily some of the best hype Konami has ever had.

Without it, what else do they have?

 

[Choomp]

This had so much potential. This is terrible, Konami sucks.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Konami is officially the worst.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Konami's dead to me after MGS V releases. Never buying a single game of theirs ever again. Fuck that company.

 

[ZarKryn7]

You're dead to me konami.

 

[xzeldax3]

Del Toro game curse is real! /s

Really though, I can't believe this isn't happening. I was excited to see this all star group of people make something (potentially) great.

 

[E_Darkness]

Of course it isn't happening. There is no way were allowed a good Silent Hill game again.

This sucks.

 

[Kyoufu]

So just a ton of money down the drain.

This project never really got off the ground, so no.

 

[sn00zer]

Konami's dead to me after MGS V releases. Never buying a single game of theirs ever again. Fuck that company.

Seriously though what game would you have bought? They havent released anything good recently outiside of MGS and their soccer game

 

[stryke]

 

[Kriken]
