Forums - Gaming - Should Konami have an IP Fire-Sale like THQ?

 

Should Konami sell their IPs?

Yes. 75 66.37%
 
No. 12 10.62%
 
I like chicken. 26 23.01%
 
Total:113

They won't. Most of their IPs are still very recognizable, they would sell way more than new mobile only franchises. And I'm sad for that, I want a new 2D Catlevania and Bloodstained isn't coming to the 3DS :(



You know it deserves the GOTY.

They should give their IP to Nintendo with a little catch.

Konami can still use the IP how they like for Mobile and Nintendo just gets the console rights.

I would love for them to sell their IPs to companies that still care about gaming! I do hope that who ever buys MGS will hire Kojima cause u really can't have MGS without him

With that being said, I doubt they will cause they are saving it for mobile :(

They may be a bit obscure but still has a higher brand value than new IPs


Whoever buys MGS should not make a new one. And they should deffinetly not force Kojima to work on another one. He doesn't want to do them anymore.



It would be the best for the ips, but not for konami. In 2-3 years time and they're reporting losses due to 'transition to f2p' they'll look at their console ip to pay the bills.

Just give it away? I'm pretty sure Konami are a business and not a charity...


Obviously not for free....

They probably won't. So they can shift all those titles to mobile.



Only if they force the buying party to make AAA games of them. We'd still be nowhere if someone resurrects Suikoden as an ugly American made rpgmaker indie game.



I would love to see them do that, but I think they will take the IP's and run them into the ground with mobile.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

I like chicken.



Like Bloodborn with Japan Studio and From software, i hope SONY will make a deal with Konami for future project, the main problem is triple A games need a lot of budget and resource.
