Konami isn't doing so well these days, and it doesn't seem like that's going to be changing anytime soon.
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?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
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.
Today Konami announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
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.
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

Several sources tell us that Konami is still working on a remake of the first installment, although right now Metal Gear Solid Delta is a priority for the studio.
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.
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.

Agreed.
Metal Gear and Kojima's creativity was their driving force for console gaming over the past decade. What other big sellers have they got? The most promising thing for the Silent Hill series in years, they've decided to cancel.
Shaken not stirred.

I think they already hit those rocks and are taking on water.
Konami runs health clubs and gambling machines in Japan. That stuff plus the Japanese game market being largely focused on phones had left them with a home console development side that increasingly made no sense.
Konami is fine, I just wouldn't expect them to do much more than phone games for the Japanese market. Its like when you find a Sega crane game at a movie theater. Sure you wish it was a Crazy Taxi, or Virtua Fighter machine but you know the unfortunate reality.
Thats the weirdest cocktail I've ever heard of. 'Konami on the rocks.'
