While Soccer is not at the top of Americans minds, many EU fans love Pro Evolution Soccer better than FIFA.

I do not buy it. They have too many gold mines on their hands to NEVER to any AAA games again. Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Castlevannia, Contra to name a few. I can already see a prequel Metal Gear Solid 6 with The Boss, also known as The Joy with her Squad aka The Cobra Unit - The Pain, The Fear, The End, The Fury, The Sorrow along with the SAS during their heyday in World War 2 killing Nazi's behind enemy lines! That would be AMAZING!
I got ideas just as good for Contra, Silent Hill & Castlevannia. They need to hire me as a writer for their games stories! lol

1. Dude. Learn to use the edit button. Two posts in a row sometimes, whatever. But six in a row barely containing more than a sentence or two is basically spam.

2. Those are not gold mines. Most of their series have niche appeal, with only a couple really stepping beyond it. The very reason Konami is changing direction so drastically is because they aren't holding onto any IP that can match the profits as a console experience when compared to what comes from fast and easy to develop mobile titles. They have changed direction because nothing they have is good enough for them anymore. They'd rather make a lot more money than deal in making games that people actually want to play from series that used to spin out quality titles.

Psh, like they'll sell any of their IP. Selling an IP means less pachinko machines and less crappy cash-in mobile games. We all knew that survey was just to figure out which series to abuse with a terrible mobile game first.

They won't ever sell an IP, but they will, hopefully, licence IP for making future console games, with potentially lucrative royalties without having to do any work other than paying lawyers to make sure the licencing agreement is good for them.

It means pretty open season for the big IP. I don't think Silent Hill being bought licenced by Sony, MS or Nintendo is that big of a deal. But if MGS was licenced by MS or Nintendo that would be a megaton, if they hire Kojima and allow him to carry on his vision MGS fans WILL buy whatever cnsole it comes to. It will be an interesting next year or so to see what licencing announcements get made.

Someone should make a thread listing all the main Konami IP and do a prediction league about whether the IP will gert liceneced and to whom.


Kojima does not have a vision for MGS, because he's done with it. He made it very clear he wanted to move on a long time ago. It would not shock me if the fallout also involved Kojima refusing anymore MGS. 

Ah, OK I don't think I was aware of that. I guess it gels with Koijima looking to resurrect Silent Hills...until the whole idea got canned. I wonder if there is any real future for MGS without Kojima? But also, what is the future of Kojima in games? Does he have the energy and enthusiasm to start on a whole new venture?
