Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has published a list containing the top 100 best sold video games in Japan during 2018 (January 1st to December 30). Among those is also Metal Gear Survive, but that doesn’t mean the game did well. The PlayStation 4 version of the game can be found near the bottom of the list, at number 88, with a total of only 52131 copies sold.
Metal Gear Solid Delta is going to have to overcome the same obstacles that helped sink the franchise's last installment, Metal Gear Survive.
"In addition, the game will likely lack the bizarre charm, humor, and depth that can only be found in games that Kojima himself worked on."
If its a remake that stays loyal to the source material how is this an issue?
Kojima cultists are wacky
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "No matter what you think about Konami these days, they are sitting on a beloved IP that still has tons and tons of potential for great new stories."
Likely nothing. After Survive failed Konami knows they can't capitalize on that franchise without Kojima. And Kojima doesn't want to make MGS games anymore, for a decade he kept saying he wanted to make other games.
It's so frustrating that we hear absolutely nothing. Remember, this is what Konami said six years ago: https://www.metalgearinform...
They could easily remake old MGS games with the TPP game mechanics and engine, but they won’t.
It’s a shame one of the most innovative game directors also spent most of his career establishing his ideas with a company that doesn’t take pride in innovation.
Pachinko machines work for Konami, so they will continue that until it doesn’t.
Konami has updated all of their MGS games that are available on the current-generation consoles. This includes Metal Gear Solid V and Metal Gear Survive.
- Modification of the Agreement Process
These are the patch notes that are accessible on the PS4. The update has been reported to be just under 500 MB. It will be available to download on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Just don’t expect to find any new content or a patch to upgrade the game for the PS5. There is no such change included in this update.
Headline had my hopes up for a next gen upgrade but... it’s Konami, I should know better.
Whoa! I completely forgot Metal Gear Survive existed at all. It's like it was actually just erased. Weird. I wonder if it's actually as bad as people said it was...
Ouch I guess it didn't survive after all.
52,131 copies more than it should have sold.
Japanese gamers love grind and doing the same thing over and over. Still, they didnt liked it :)
That's 52000 too many
