Now that Konami has risen from the ashes, this thread is dedicated to giving thanks to what was a fallen giant who has just risen from out of the deep valley once again.

Best publisher of the 6th generation thanks to...

Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3
Silent Hill 2 & 3
Zone of the Enders 1 & 2
Pro Evolution Soccer 1-6

Their comeback and Sega's have been the only positives about this decade of gaming for me.

Thank you Konami for your outstanding work with your retro collections and remakes.

Castlevania Anniversary Collection
Castlevania Advance Collection
Contra Anniversary Collection
Suikoden 1 & 2 remaster
Gradius collection
Silent Hill 2 remake

Now we look forward to your original work. It's great to have you back once more into the fray.
 
I am not sure where all the hate for Konami started, and honestly, I don't really care enough to dig into it. Sure, Metal Gear Survive was a disaster, but I skipped that one entirely.
And yes, Konami and Hideo Kojima clearly had their issues, but I was not involved in that drama, so I don't see why I should hold onto it.

What matters to me is that Konami brought back my favorite game serie Metal Gear Solid. I absolutely loved every minute of MGS Delta, and I cannot wait to see which other entries in the franchise will get the same remake treatment.
The same goes for the Silent Hill remake, even though it was never one of my favorite series, I still thoroughly enjoyed what they did with it.

What I appreciate most is that these remakes pay true respect to the original games, which is especially the case with MGS Delta.
I don't need a brand new Metal Gear Solid without the wacky genius of Hideo Kojima at the helm. What I do want is for Konami to continue giving us faithful and lovingly crafted remakes of my favorite game series of all time.

Thank you Konami.
 
I mean I appreciate them trying but outside of some cool castlevania collabs and retro collections all they've really released is more shitty silent hill games and a MGS3 remaster. F has promise but I still need to see how it turns out.
 
I need them to create a great new Castlevania and Silent Hill in-house to consider them truly back. As is they are just a publisher renting out IP licenses and old code.

Regardless, I loved the Castlevania Dominus Collection by M2. Haunted Castle Revisited is legit good even if its design is archaic by today's standards. The Silent Hill 2 Remake by Blooper was good. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater codeveloped by Virtuous was updated nicely as well.

Konami changed focus. They didn't like the power Kojima had and the cost of his games so they got him out. Then they stepped back from gaming and focused on other parts of their business. Once they deemed it prudent, they returned to games with a remake to test the waters. They are probably going to make MGS6.
 
MGS Collection Vol 1 was bad.
MGS3 Remake has major performance issues.

Suikoden Remasters are fine.
Silent Hill f leaked reviews seem too good to be true, we'll see.

I'm gonna keep holding off on praising Konami for anything.

But it won't be the same without him, (Metal Gear 6) it's like making Alien without Ridley Scott, 5 might have been bad, but MGS 1 to 4, along with Peacewalker where the best in series.....on top of that how can we class as Konami being "back" ....there decision to end the Pro Evo soccer series has got to be one of the worst (sports) gaming decisions in history....they thought e-football was the way to go, but that just alienated the fans and now we have no decent soccer game (which isn't online multiplayer focused)

It will probably release on time and on budget. It will not be the same, but it can still be good.

Thankfully the former is fixed now

Still don't know what everyone's problem with MGS3 Delta is, completed a non-lethal playthrough on Extreme without issue. On PS5 Pro no less, which is supposedly 'worse' than the base console
