Konami commentary

[POEman553]

Even when Konami is able to restore the licenses, would they even be able to put Metal Gear Solid 2/3 back up for sale on PS3/Vita? I imagine it would be easier on GOG.com and Nvidia Shield and even Xbox 360 compared to PS3/Vita.

 

I'd almost rather Konami move on from PS3/Vita versions and start preparing PS4/PS5 versions of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, but who knows what they have planned or even if they thought that far ahead.

i highly doubt that Konamishit will do a PS4/PS5 port of the HD Collection.

I doubt it too but:

1) people will buy remasters of PS3 games on PS4 and PS5

2) it allows them to continue to still use the licensed material

 

However:

1) Konami is allergic to actually listening to their audience and has no respect for them

2) Konami doesn't want to acknowledge Kojima's work even after he's gone

It could be the start of Konami's Redemption Arc.

Following it up with remakes of MGS 1,2 and 3, A new Castlevania game and reuniting with Kojima to finish Silent Hills & Re-releasing and P.T.

On that day, pigs will fly, a Blue Moon will appear and Hell will freeze over.

@POEman553 exactly. They have tremendous IPs, but they act in a childish way.

 

@SHADOW-KILLER-S2 for me, Konami can go out of business. Sony must claim as soon as possible the Silent Hill and Castlevania IPs. And obviously, a gorgeous remake of the first Silent Hill on PS5 after that, by Bluepoint Games.

There the same group that has released more newer Castlevania Pachinko Machines then actual games. I very much doubt they will ever release a new collection. They will probably sooner do a full reboot after how they ended V and then gave us Survive right after.

This happens when you get notifications on the upcoming shutdowns & delistings thread but then the posts you were notified about get moved to their own thread.

I don't see why they wouldn't keep these games on the PS3 store as long as it works. They'll probably sort out their licensing issues soon.

 

In order to remaster these games for PS4/PS5, they'd have to hire other studios again. It's not impossible, but when it comes to current day Konami, you can't expect them to do that. Unless the reports of them trying to go back to console game development are legit. We'll see.

 

And no, Konami won't go out of business soon. They're making plenty of money on Yu-gi-oh cards, pachinko machines, and mobile games.

Hard Copy on Vita cost me 1500 yen, hard copy on PS3 cost me $20 Au, It is not rare or difficult to buy these games. 

 

I have played many Konami Pachinko machines, They're pretty good.
