For many of us, Konami is a beloved gaming company that has ownership of some of the most beloved IPs in the industry. A lot of us older gamers know this well. Metal Gear, Contra, Castlevania, Dance Dance Revolution, Yugioh, Gradius, Suikoden, Tokimeki Memorial, Vandal Hearts, and more all fall under their umbrella. Their numbers grew more in August of 2012 when they absorbed Hudson Soft. This added games such as Bloody Roar, Star Soldier, Bonk, Bomberman, and Adventure Island to their list of properties.
Part of what made these franchises so great was the developers behind them. Hideo Kojima created Metal Gear. Castlevania had a lot of people that developed it. But the originals were Akihiko Nagata, Nobuhiro Matsuoka, and Noriyasu Togakushi. Suikoden was helmed by Yoshitaka Murayama, etc. Over time on the backs of these developers and the properties they created, Konami had enjoyed a status that put them on a level playing field with Square Enix, Capcom, Namco Bandai, and Sega.
EA says the next Battlefield game is being built by the "largest Battlefield team in history," and confirms the game is in a playable state.
“I’ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collective Battlefield team, playing what they’re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
It's just what gamers want, more live service garbage.
What Henderson has leaked so far is that ... even though the dev size's large, they are playing safe this time,
so I am guessing big budgeted BF3 2.0 ... fingers crossed
This one is tricky with just a keyboard but here is a look at the early part of the game.
Insider reveals Xbox's Perfect Dark reboot struggles in development, far from ready despite ongoing efforts.
The hits just keep on coming. Will not be surprised if this gets canned. It already got rebooted and they had to bring on an outside studio to try and help developement. Some of the original creatives have left the project.
But I will say, just wait until the MS showcase. If you don't see it there, then alarm bells should start ringing.
No. Konami was on fire just like Capcom and Namco back in the day. Now, they are not even close.
I have no faith at in them all unless I was into casino games. But I'm not. So, no.
Wait until we see some actual games
their remaster collections are amazing, I'll give them that any time
but we'll see how things go when they run out or release actual games
I'm willing to see them out. If Silent Hill 2 Remake is a turd... then fool me once shame on you, but fool me twice...
I wish they would sell the Castlevania IP, if I had a few 100 mil laying around I would buy it.
