Lone phrase sums it up perfectly:

Anal Cranial Inversion.

wonderfulmonkeyman3258d ago (Edited 3258d ago )

In layman's terms: they're a bunch of butt-heads.
They held in one too many farts.
The farts, with no means of escape, traveled up their spines and into their brains.
And now you know how crappy ideas are born.

Not the least of which was the decision to abandon a higher focus on consoles, and to completely ignore Nintendo and Sony fans' desire for more Metroid-vania style Castlevania titles.

The moral of the story: don't support crappy ideas.
Don't be like Konami. Let the farts flow free.
As long as they're far away from me...

Just give me MGSV then konami can do whatever the hell they want.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218316d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia15d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook7100d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop100d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.
