This is getting obnoxious. Do any of you know Konami has always had a foot pachinko/gambling business? They also have a foot in the fitness,card games, anime, arcades, clothes as well. How many of you actually know about Konami history? Leveraging THEIR popular IP's with THEIR many different sectors? What's new?

Its THEIR IP! They can do whatever they want to

The problem isn't that they are doing this, the problem is that they are doing this and the Castlevania one while simultaneously not giving people the games they want to see made from those IPs.


But where is the budget to make for those games?It has gone to MGSV because of the delays but we all have to blame Konami because whatever. They make easy cash with this than the AAA gaming. Can we blame them for wanting to make make money to feed their employees or should they risk it all with Castlevania, Silent Hill, Suikoden while MGSV is draining their bank and profits and go bankrupt?

But it'll likely make infinitely more money for them.

I agree with SEGA for this, from SEGA financial report they said they blame financial crisis in Japan, i think it affecting a lot of companies and Konami probably made a mistake by having an over budget games while not predicting Inflation and fluctuating yen in the market. Of course some of it is Konami to be blame but at this current financial crisis it will be difficult.

Metal Gear: Pachinko

Konami: "We created a real Metal Gear for you to experience"

No Kojima required!

No and Konami confirmed it will be canon



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

That trailer looked pretty scary, but not as horror filled as the actual game. Jesus Konami, wtf.

Eat shit and die, Konami. That's all I have to say.

I'll be honest, I'm really, really looking forward to the Metal Gear VI having a $10M budget. It's going to be like The Devil's Third and it's going to live in infamy until the end of time.

Dude Konami hasn't made losses since at least 2008, so can we not act as if they are financially struggling here? Also companies can and often do take out loans from banks and Konami has a decent credit rating so they are definitely not confined to their own cash reserves. Yes MGSV is expensive but do you think it won't make its money back? And do you think Konami doesn't know it will make its money back?

There would be a budget and there would be money in games made from their IPs if Konami just gave a damn.

Wow, first that Castlevania machine now this? Konami just really does not give a shit now do they? Not that they have in a while to be fair...
