It’s now official: Konami has completely taken over Hudson. While this may surprise some people, the reality is that this chain of events was set off over 10 years ago. A former executive from Hudson sheds light on what happened.
Konami announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 1 and September 30, 2023. Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.1 is also confirmed as the first of a series, if anyone was still wondering.
Konami has blemished its reputation after venturing into many things outside of gaming, leaving some of its iconic IPs to collect dust.
Nah, the games they've released since 2015's Phantom Pain have been cheaply budgeted, sloppy, poorly thought-out games. Unless if they start releasing masterpieces again, which they won't because they don't have the talent, nor the willingness to budget for quality games anymore, they aren't worth forgiving.
Just releasing a bunch of emulated classic games, or sloppily porting MGS games onto modern hardware isn't enough. It has to be NEW GAMES, not remasters, and no emulation or ports. But without the talent that made them an amazing company in the past, it all means nothing.
Tokyo Game Show VR 2023 will feature the likes of Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, Sega, Survios, Schell Games and many more.
Good good good. Hope we see some surprises. And Capcom will most likely wow with RE4 Remake VR.
Here's hoping for square Enix to announce a new ip jrpg that isn't gaas
Very interesting read- highly recommend it.
