Eurogamer:
Konami has ceased all triple-A console game production on everything but Pro Evolution Soccer and there are currently no plans for a big new Metal Gear game, while worldwide technology directr Julien Merceron has left the company. That's according to a pair of reports on French site Gameblog. Eurogamer understands both reports to be true.
Gameblog wrote yesterday that Merceron was apparently unhappy with Konami's transition away from the console market towards mobile games.
Beyond Metal Gear Online - the separate online component to Metal Gear Solid 5 that is currently being finished - and Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, Konami has a blank triple-A slate. It does however have the licence to the football tournament Euro 2016, so we'd expect it to make use of that.
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.
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.
Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
I'm really over PES
Konami have some of the best franchises in gaming history and they are letting all that go for Pachinkos and Mobile. This is really sad and stupid.
I cant wait for them to put Castlevania on Mobile with lives being sold as microtransactions. They did it with Contra and they will do it with the rest of those games.
In other words..
"We are going to abandon the people and the things that helped make us famous and get us to where we are today.
Sincerely,
Konami"
RIP Konami
if they can't make money on those games then that is a viable reason but i am sure mgs makes them money but the issue there could be kojima. i would like someobody else to take over those ip's and not let them simply rot in mobile land.
