This really makes me wonder what exactly Kojima did that pissed off the Konami executives this much rofl.  It's pretty much ruining a game most Konami fans, if such a thing still exists, to spite the man who created its only good game series.

[PLEASEHELP1991]

they don't want Kojima to overshadow the mainline Konami brand?????
I think they make more money from mobile games obv

at this rate, MGS5 will also be canned

jesus FUCKING christ i'm mad if this ends up being true

i was looking forward to this series finally coming back with a good game again

also @david's op: "buuuuut castlevania" isn't as valid an argument as it used to be anyway so you won't hear it from us lol

at least, not until they make another new one that isn't a damn lords of shadow game

what does konami even do anymore???

anyone who might have been hoping to play pt at some point but doesn't yet own a ps4 can still head to the psn store and purchase it before it's taken down, that way it'll be in your download list for whenever you do get one

well, unless sony completely removes it from its servers, that is

i just did this despite having no intention of ever playing it lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

and yeah, konami must be fully aware that they're nobody without kojima, i'll be surprised if they don't go out of business soon after his contract expires

what could he have done to anger them so much that they'd be willing to destroy themselves to spite him lol

to be fair, lords of shadow is a good game, but still, I sure as hell don't want it to be the future of the series.

I honestly think, the best we can hope for at this point, since Igarashi also left Konami, is for Mighty No. Castlevania
