I bet you that survey was just to double check what games to keep porting to everything. They wouldn't sell the rights. They just port MGS3 to every device with a screen, at some point.

I just hope Konami doesn't decide to keep the Metal Gear Solid franchise like Activision wants to keep the Crash Bandicoot IP.

I'm mostly sad for Silent Hill. To think we may never get an AAA entry ever again is disheartening.

Konami are going to keep their IP to base mobile and pachinko machines. I think that several other big publishers will follow this path as well.

Well that simply doesn't add up.  If they shipped over 3 million for launch, then they brought in 180 million in revenue.  The game will prbably wind up doing a leat a quarter billion in sales this year.  Then of course they have DLC and microstransactions worth at teast another 50 to 100 million.

Wrong. This is not some step ladder. They are no longer  interested in budgets associated with AAA development, it just means that on consoles expect B class or lower. Thats fine, because outside of MGS and PES that is where all KONAMI IP's fall.

I hope you'll look forward to playing Castlevania V on your phone!

I doubt he is happy about this. He hates Konami a business, not as a provider of game content. Konami isn't exactly losing money because they aren't making AAA games. Literally the only people who lose out in this are gamers.

Didn't you make a thread about that Konami game survey? We told mothing good will happen. 

They won't sell their IPs; they need something to sell those mobile and panchinko games.

i thought PES is one of their great IPs. and i believe 2016 version is better on PES compared to Fifa's. but we know that Fifa would still sell a ton.
