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.
[spoiler]inb4 the crusade of 'BUUUUUUUUUUT CASTLEVANIA ;-;'[/spoiler]
they don't want Kojima to overshadow the mainline Konami brand?????
I think they make more money from mobile games obv

this gen has no games
and when it does they get cancelled
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
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

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/04/27/konami-confirms-silent-hills-cancelation-but-series-still-alive.aspx
"alive", lol
if silent hill beyond 3 is what konami considers to be "alive", then the series is probably better off dead without kojima's intervention
All I want from Konami is simon belmont in Smash
Idc after
Apparently Konami isn't on the nyse anymore lol

the only way any of konami's recent decisions make sense is if they've decided to voluntarily retire from console development
and actually now i'm convinced that that's the case
what exactly does konami's release schedule for 2015 and beyond currently look like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_games
holiday 2015: metal gear
and that's it
there's not even a pro evo 2016 on the horizon
with this cancellation of the only other title they had publicly announced for release in the near future, i think konami is signifying that it's finished with console games
they have announced that silent hill and metal gear aren't dead as a result of recent happenings, but now i believe that was just a way of minimizing panic
there is no future for metal gear or silent hill, except maybe on the iphone
they're also big on the gambling scene still i think??
metal gear vi is going to be a slot machine
You're right about the gambling, Kaz.

Good video games are too expensive to make these days so everyone is finding cheaper ways to make easy money.
what if this is one big hoax
like the day before the game is scheduled to be released kojima "sneaks" into konami hq and plasters his name all over the place

thats funny cause GI just experimented with it when it was taken off, and they COULD re-download it.
one of these sources are lying
how long ago was that experiment
i recall seeing a video a week ago demonstrating that it was possible to re-download it after deletion, but konami might have only gotten it completely wiped from sony's servers sometime after its initial removal from the store

Quote from: Jim SterlingKonami's removal of PT, its desire to outright erase it from history, is proof paramount that Konami has NO respect for games left at all.
which makes perfect sense as they're retiring from the business lol
why should a corporation have "respect" for games? konami could make art and people would whinge about it not have x, y or z. grow up gamers, there's nothing left for you here. get a real hobby.
what would truly distress me is if konami decided to simply sit on their de facto retired gaming ip rather than sell them off to someone who could make decent (or not) use of them
but then again the only franchise they really have that's of any value anymore is metal gear, whose name they can still attach to pachinko machines and clothing lines until it's as worthless as the others

this pretty well coincides with previous reports and rumors so i'm sure it's largely true, and besides, the japanese corporate world in general is pretty harsh so none of that really surprises me.
supposedly, a few years back, they made igarashi work a shit desk job because castlevania judgement bombed. but idk
It'll be interesting to see how much Konami supports MGSV post-launch... I mean like I just realised that MGO isn't coming out with the main game again rofl

yes because sonic "fans" are already prepared to defend anything sonic, they buy them all...
and multiple copies.... and give them 10's on metacritic... and swear they're still good....
and think Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are amazing past the first level...

There is something to be said about the feel of things with the older consoles. It’s blurry and not very sharp. messy textures.. but all that adds a certain.. feel. Which just draws me into the game illusion.
