If Silents Hills isn't cancelled already, it should be. It's as good as dead, and so is Konami.

 

[Kama_1082]

Kojima do like Bleszinski, start his own mid tier dev studio and put out PC games

Subtle port beg

 

[malfcn]

Oh god, I'm so sorry for everyone that worked on Fox Engine.

Don't you mean the Konami Engine?

 

[Majanew]

Fuck...this really depresses me about Silent Hills. Kojima will be fine -- he's a fucking rockstar, but SH will probably be changed. :'(

 

[_Ryo_]

RIP SILENT HILLS.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

OK so, Konami is going to need cash soon with their big money maker leaving so to gain some quick cash they SALE the Silent Hill series to another company. Who then produce a new game.

We can hope.

[SliceSabre]

Oh shit the doomsayers were right!?

Damn!

 

[Xpliskin]

Damn, I need time to realize.


This is the last MGS game.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Imagine if he's granted the permission to promote the game at E3 and then opens the lid on Konami's bullshit live on stage.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Damn. RIP Konami.

 

[stump sock]

RIP Kojimas food tweets

don't be silly, there's always sausage after the rain

 

[TheSlySoul]

I'd bet Konami hasn't been fully invested in publishing games for a long time, now.

Konami and Sega have found success in slot machine development.
Sega hasn't gone to Americas yet, but Konami has.

I know most people here are just video gamers, but yeah.

 

[LoserMakesGood]

Well... Konamis dead then....

After Sept. 1st they might as well be to me

 

[Toad.T]

How long until we have a Konami/Hudson IP fire sale? Because I sincerely don't believe they'll hang on to gaming much longer. (And I also don't believe that they'll decorate their gyms with Castlevania/Metal Gear/Bomberman branded weights either.)

 

[Coffee Dog]

Silent Hills' most likely cancellation reminds me of Legends 3's demise after Inafune left.

 

[LiK]

RIP Kojimas food tweets

are you kidding? there will be even more now!

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Took long enough for the exclusivity hounds to show up

NINTENDO, BUY EVERYTHING

It's fucking annoying, isn't it?

 

[A-V-B]

Why are they so mad at Kojima, though?

EDIT:
God dammit, bottom of the page.

Quoting post to give love to the forgotten peeps :3 <3

 

[MilesTeg]

Never been a huge fan, but it's sad to see such an important IP in video game industry history essentially die like this. RIP Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Alienous]

EDIT:
Aw shucks.

Uh, KONAMI!

 

[viveks86]

Yikes!

I still don't get why they're so mad at Kojima.

It's office politics. We'll never know what happened or who is at fault.

 

[CambriaRising]

Why are they so mad at Kojima, though?

EDIT:
God dammit, bottom of the page.

Probably because he spends too much of his budget on designing watches and clothes no one but him is going to wear.

 

[SargerusBR]

Guys. What if?

 

[SkylineRKR]

I think Silent Hill is done for then. A shame, I looked forward to it more than MGS

 

[direct_quote]

This probably means no MGR2 because Kojima seemed to be the main supporter of that off shoot.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

So Konami has just committed suicide.

 

[Devilgunman]

Konami: "Thank you very much Kojima san for finishing up Fox Engine and MGSV now gtfo."

 

[Jburton]

Morpheus stealh espionage action game by Kojima, be Snake without seeing him on screen!

 

[Wesker28]

.. but... what about Silent Hills?

 

[biteren]

OH NO!!! i just realized somthing!! what does this mean for Metal Gear Rising 2???

EDIT: beaten

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This is really going to be the final MGS game huh?



God what will happen to rising 2 now?

 

[FullMetaltech]

MGO has been handled by KojiPro LA, which was just rebranded Konami LA Studio. I think it will have plenty of support.

Ok Thanks. Heres to hoping that SH still happens now.

 

[Carbonox]

No Silent Hills...

No Metal Gear Rising 2...

 

[Tripon]

Can't believe people judging, when we don't the facts or story behind it.

Just anonymous stories.

Fuck giving Konami the benefit of the doubt. That's my take on it. If they want to release a PR piece denying it, let them.

 

[-Horizon-]

welp

 

[SJRB]

Holy fucking shit.

 

[params7]

So Kojima's Metal Gear canon ends with TPP.

We'll have Konami's hot shit afterwards. It will suck to see the MGS legacy being ruined though.

 

[Falifax]

You laughed at us during E3 2010, now look at your silly faces. Eat shit.

 

[Auctopus]

Kojima's not dead. There'll still be plenty of those.

More of them, most likely.

 

[Ushiwaka]

P.T was too good to be true

What a shame... what a shame...

It didn't get reported on much, but this Kojima thing is just a couple days on the heels of the Love Plus director bailing on Konami too.

Sounds like this is part of a major shift with Konami to just bailout on consumer video games. Either that or their big wigs decided they don't like having their game directors speaking for themselves in public so they just canned them all. I think the first is more likely.

 

[Prime crotch]

Apparently Konami's dating sim love plus director also left Konami, like two days ago

 

[QFNS]

My dreams of a new Suikoden die with you, Konami. Please no =(

 

[MickeyKnox]

Well that's that then.

He would have to start his own independent studio (unless he wants to retire) I don't see anywhere else he could go that isn't a major step down from the position he's held for so long.

 

[ZeroRay]

For the best. Konami games outside MGS was on life support for the last half decade.

 

[Shalashaska]

Can't wait to find all the Kojima easter eggs they put in TPP

 

[The Blackrose]

anyone make a "Konami just shot themselves in da foot" comment yet?

Check the other thread.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I'm actually excited, can't wait to see what he'll do next.

 

[Backfoggen]

Lmfao Konami shut up. Kojima was your only good guy.
