Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metal Gear is dead and Konami should sell the IP

Konami should stop making games completely and sell off their IP's with the studio's still working on games to another japanese company like capcom or something, they have a bad name, they are going to ruin metal gear for us, its just bad all around. :(

I used to be one of the biggest fans of the Konami games during the PS2 era they just had hit after hit.

They should just sell it to Sony. It's the place where it belongs and Kojima can work on it again.



This thread got me thinking. Instead of Metal Gear, Konami should sell the Silent Hill IP to Suda51. That dude could probably do something amazing with it.

As for Metal Gear, I dunno. At this point there's nothing else to tell about it, so I really don't care the direction the franchise goes at this point since it's pretty much done. Survivor pretty much feel like the only thing that can be done at this point is a bunch of nonsensical (albeit maybe playable and fun) spin-offs.

They should sell it to Kojima, really.

Kojima? The dude that wanted to stop making Metal Gear games ever since Metal Gear Solid 2?

Konami should sell all of their IPs, not only MGS. They've murdered every IP that is not PES or Yugioh.

I could say konami murdered those IP as well.

Oh, they did? I always read about how those are the only franchises they didn't completely mess up!

Yup, so he can either give MGS V a completition or put it to rest forever, so there is no milking.

My point is he doesn't care anymore, he wouldn't purchase it even if he had the chance and money to do so.

God bless us if Activision or EA buy MGS. It's better if Konami keeps it if those are the possible buyers.
SE would take forever to end the dvelopment of the game (just like when Kojima worked on it) and I don't know if they can make that kind of game...

Square Enix took forever to end development only for one game. So yeah... Your comment doesn't stand on much ground.

Seriously. Instead of playing it safe and remaking one of the older MG games with the FOX Engine (since they have all the assets from TPP), they releasing a L4D clone.

The trailer of MG Survivor is having so many dislikes that Konami will probably remove it soon LOL. This game was destined to bomb from the moment it was announced.

So who should take the IP?

I would say Square Enix or Activion. SE has many studios like Crystal Dynamics and EIDOS and they could make a decent Metal Gear imo. Activision has the unlimited budget to make it AAA game but do they have skills for a MG game?

yeah like the westerners did with silent hill. Even a remake from MGS 1 by silicon knights turned out to be bad

And my point is that in Kojima's hand the IP legacy won't be completely ruined.

Maybe, but you can't offer something to someone who doesn't want it, can you?
