Metal gear solid 1 2 and 3 needs to be remade in the gameplay quality of MGS 5. Till today that game is a visual and gameplay masterpiece, just a shame it was incomplete.

Sony needs to just swipe this company up already. They’re always gonna run into financial problems due to the cost of games. They’re not built to be in the AAA space no more.

That's Konami's own fault though

They basically ran off Igarashi and Kojima. Then literally started licensing their IP to unknown or average studios so they didn't have to pay top talent.

At one time, they were on par with Square, Capcom, and Namco. But their own negligent ways killed that.

Sony usually buys studios with talent already at the helm. It’s not so easy to say for Sony to just swipe them up, as Konami as a business is more than just video games. Their video games division is just one part that forms Konami,

Great news. Would love to see this wretched company come back with some good new games.

I didn't want to be too complementary of them given their recent history and the fact they make pokie machines.

They ruined PES, Metal Gear, Suikoden, Silent hill, Castlevania and plenty other great games yet still expect to make gamers return.
