| Xxain said: Here is the funny part - When Kojima was fired and his team disbanded, everybody said, "I dont want SH is Kojima wont behind it, it wont be the same without his vision ", so KONAMI did just that. Kojima's name attached to the project was what all hype was about and without him and his ideas, was it worth Konami continuing something that was not going live up to expectations set by somebody not on the project. Its like finishing a painthing,movie, or sculpture without any knowing any of the intentions or vision from the starter.KONAMI is not wrong for cancelling Silent Hills. Your right, the consumer is what decides a business future, so why is it a problem that KONAMI focus on mobile when it pulls 20 mill a month or whatever they decide to decorate their gambling toys with? |
Consumers don't give a damn about gaming gods like Kojima much like how tons of people bought Final Fantasy XIII without Sakaguchi's involvement ...
It's about the TEAM, not the person and as such I as a consumer believed in the potential of Silent Hills. Yes they weren't wrong for cancelling it however that does not mean they were necessarily right about it either ...
If Konami makes a killing off of mobile then that's cool. All the more reason to doubt that they're investing on console gaming ...
Like I said before, it's not willful ignorance to expect to be dissappointed with Konami when you take a look at their actions ...
