Forums - Gaming - Will Konami ever return to greatness?

episteme on 14 January 2014

It's a sad story. Not as bad as Capcom, but still sad.

My last hope is MGS, but the expectations are so high that it's hard to be not disappointing.

Is that supposed to mean that you're the inspiration for his looks or something ?

He's sad :(

More like concerned..

It's really hard to say. Good thing the PS4 is here now, so we finally get to see emotions in video games.

Mm. Maybe we should give the next Castlevania to Naughty Dog, they could really spin that story into something epic

Seems like MOST 3rd party publishers have fallen from grace. When I think Konami now all that comes to mind is MGS and Castlevania; sad reality really

(I would dare argue, that Metal Gear franchise has declined too, but MGS4 fans will shoot me).

I'll back you up.



Signature goes here!

if we look back into Konamis's 16bit days alot of the stuff they had was licensed, it was cool licensed stuff, but licensed nonetheless. I like the TMNT and Tiny Toon games myself. You take those away did they really have that much series for themselves? and which ones were really prominent?

They could start by releasing Suikoden on the psn... I want to play it.

Outside of MGS, they seem pretty irrelevant these days. They seem content with publishing games.

There is but one game that could save Konami, a game so great that the gaming world would have a melt down if a new entry was announced

Kojima seems to be the only person there who knows what he's doing.

Devil May Cry was about years before God of War...

That's the point.  Why do you think the post is written like it is?  With the constant use of phrase God of War ripoff, what do you call the exact games that predate God of War?  I was actually hoping someone was stupid enough to call these two games God of War ripoffs.


Yeah my bad, I thought you were actually being serious. My bad! I'm used to reading things like game X being a rip off of game of Y though. Hell I remember when F-Zero X was constantly called a WipeOut rip off.
