Even console Power Pros is dead. Yikes.

 

[Mik2121]

Hahah...

 

[Strickland]

Someone needs to save Konami from Konami.

 

[KingBroly]

More than I thought.

 

[Dynomutt]

That's so sad.

[Newtype-001]

"There was a games company here, its gone now"

That gematsu comment is good.

 

[eFKac]

Did they stop developing the console baseball game, or is it not the time of the year?

 

[5taquitos]

Ctrl+F "Suikoden"

Why do I even bother?

 

[totowhoa]

R.I.P. Old Konami :'(

 

[Morning Star]

That's worse than I expected when I saw the thread's title.

 

[Frozenprince]

I mean they're making money with their mobile and gambling devices. No reason for them, in a business sense, to invest in AAA titles or even tertiary titles anymore.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Looks like even their games said Fuck Konami.

 

[Foffy]

Pretty hilarious that the only upcoming game from them that looks worthy of anything is Tokyo Xanadu, which isn't even a fucking Konami game.

 

[stryke]

What does Konami have to do with Tokyo Xanadu?

 

[Jay RaR]

Not even banking on mobile huh?

Guess games are truly dead to Konami.

 

[Takao]

Did they stop developing the console baseball game, or is it not the time of the year?

Konami makes (made?) two baseball games a year for consoles/handhelds. There's Pro Baseball Spirits, which is the one with realistic player renders, and Power Pros, the cartoony bobble head one. The former usually comes out in the early spring and the latter in the fall. Looks like Konami baseball is dead on non-mobile platforms.

What does Konami have to do with Tokyo Xanadu?

Just means Falcom doesn't have a booth/stage of their own at TGS.

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

What an awful move by Konami, this would be a prime opportunity to show off their pachinko line up...

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Not even banking on mobile huh?

Guess games are truly dead to Konami.

Someone should just buy their MGS rights and then hire Kojima to make more games. Fuck it, throw Policenauts and Snatcher into the deal too.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

What does Konami have to do with Tokyo Xanadu?

I also want to know this.

Just means Falcom doesn't have a booth/stage of their own at TGS.

oh

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Watching from the edge of the circus
For the games to begin

 

[Usobuko]

If only they at least venture into Asia like Sega did before surrendering to current market climate in the West and Japan.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

You guys think MGSV will sell enough to recoup costs or post a profit?

 

[Septimus Prime]

"Yeah, well...fuck you." -Konami, probably

 

[Usobuko]

You guys think MGSV will sell enough to recoup costs or post a profit?

Of course it will.

 

[AmyS]

We'll never see a Gradius VI nor a Salamander / Life Force III

 

[Game Guru]

Just means Falcom doesn't have a booth/stage of their own at TGS.

So what you are telling us is that Falcom, unable to get a booth at TGS of their own, decided "Hey... Konami's booth is pretty empty!" and decided to show their game there?

 

[entremet]

Nothing lasts forever.

Even the best bands break up or retire.

Heck of a catalog, though.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I hope they sell their IPs really fast.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Of course it will.

80 million dollars?

I hope they sell their IPs really fast.

I'd rather have MGS be dead than in the hands of Activision or Ubisoft where it's yearly bullshit churned out. Can you even imagine?

 

[BigTnaples]

Fuck Konami.

 

[Soriku]

Can't wait to see their lineup next year lol.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I'd rather have MGS be dead than in the hands of Activision or Ubisoft where it's yearly bullshit churned out. Can you even imagine?

I am not talking MGS, they have plenty others and the people who made those games could start make them again, just for another publisher.

 

[JayEH]

80 million dollars?



I'd rather have MGS be dead than in the hands of Activision or Ubisoft where it's yearly bullshit churned out. Can you even imagine?

Witcher 3 was around that amount and made it easily.

 

[Theonik]

80 million dollars?

Yes. It will probably sell upwards of 6m units in its lifetime.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Someone should just buy their MGS rights and then hire Kojima to make more games. Fuck it, throw Policenauts and Snatcher into the deal too.

Let Kojima move on. I'd like to see what he can do when not shackled to Metal Gear.

 

[Foffy]

I'd rather have MGS be dead than in the hands of Activision or Ubisoft where it's yearly bullshit churned out. Can you even imagine?

Oh God no.

 

[hemo memo]

Can't wait to see their lineup next year lol.

Console Games

Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 (PS4, PS3) – Playable, Trailer

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

The only big franchise they have left is MGS V and Pro Evo. I doubt we'll see any games from them next year besides Pro Evo.

 

[OléGunner]

Lol, lovely preview of Konami's console future.

Without Metal Gear there, they are truly pathetic and worth absolutely nothing.

You guys think MGSV will sell enough to recoup costs or post a profit?

80 million dollars?

Easily yes.

MGS V will be a legacy title for current gen consoles/PC and have a long tail.
A lot of upgraders to current gen too will buy this game.

 

[Jamie OD]

Even console Power Pros is dead. Yikes.

This hurts me. I want my cute Japanese baseball game damn it!

 

[Del Boca Vista]

Nothing lasts forever.

Even the best bands break up or retire.

or sell out

 

[Augemitbutter]

Ctrl+F "Suikoden"

Why do I even bother?

those TGS trailers were amazing back in the day. so much has happened since then.

 

[PhantomVash808]

I hope they sell their IPs really fast.

But they need them to create new pachinko machines.

 

[Steroyd]

Just means Falcom doesn't have a booth/stage of their own at TGS.

I find the thought of Falcom just seeing Konami's empty booth and just decided on squatting in there hilarious.

 

[N E R O]

i guess KONAMI's heritage games survey was just bullshit after all :/

 

[Mpl90]

Yeah. It's possible they have unannounced games, but that's an awfully small lineup. I'm shocked there are just two games for mobile. That and how, so far, a console Jikkyou Pawapuro game has yet to be announced...if they will announce it at all, at this point. Just, wow.

 

[Trickster]

Konami is practically gone as a games company now that they got rid of Kojima. Time to exploit their great franchises for pachinko machines. So sad

 

[EricB]

Just means Falcom doesn't have a booth/stage of their own at TGS.

Thank God. Konami, stay the f away from Falcom. It is sad that I should even have to think that.

 

[Militaratus]

You're tearing me apart, Konami!

They could have at least go out with a blast, but then again that's not the Konami way.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Yes. It will probably sell upwards of 6m units in its lifetime.

MGS4 was a PS3 exclusive and sold 6 million. MGS V should honestly do that in a month or so. I think it will best Witcher 3 sales.
