From GI.biz: "You'd be forgiven for thinking things are rather quiet at Konami, especially from a Western perspective.
If we look at this current console generation, so far the Japanese publisher has only released a handful of titles: Metal Gear Solid V (plus it's Ground Zeroes and Survive spin-offs), Super Bomberman R, a Yu-Gi-Oh adaptation and the annual outing for Pro Evolution Soccer."
PES and FIFA were the true football rivals of gaming for two decades, but the landscape of football games has changed dramatically in recent years. GameSpew looks back on the rivalry, and where the franchises are now.
No contest since 2012, PES/Pro Evo dominates FIFA in gameplay but fails in UX/UI and licenses. Graphics are a slight nod to FiFA.
Interesting read, some stuff not factually correct though.
EA didnt lose the rights to the name FIFA. They chose not to relicense due to the extortionate fee that they were being charged.
The bottom line is true though, EA are comfortable and put what feels like little to no effort into each release. There is still so much that can be done with this game and yet, we see so little.
After its official launch, FIFA 20 took very little time to get on the first place both in digital and retail salesl. Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 defenders were unable to stop the superior enemy strikers.
Experience the most realistic and authentic football game with eFootball PES 2020.
I use to adore konami years ago. Wish they would sell of some of there IP's.
Shit, shit, and more shit. Just make a MGS4 remaster and then shut down. Thanks.
Sell...your...IPs
If you think it's not making you money then why let them go to waste
Castlevania / Bomberman to Nintendo. Contra / Bloody Roar to Microsoft. Silent Hill / Metal Gear Solid to Sony.
F*** all three of 'em.
