What's going on with Konami?
At Gamescom, the only upcoming game that was shown is Pro Evolution Soccer 2019. What happened with the rest of Konami's work? Where are the sequels and the originals? Where are any actual games?
Where are Castlevania, Contra, Silent Hill, Metal Gear and so much more? I'm flabbergasted if you would compare Capcom with Konami right now, but apparently, Konami announced around 2015 that console gaming would no longer be a priority for them.
It's quite exceptional to see Simon still making it in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but other than that, seeing Konami now mainly as a pachinko parlor producer is embarrassing for me, not to mention the horrible sounds they made while I was in Japan.
The various controversies of recent years, such as the Hideo/Konami conflict, the treatment of employees, the cancellation of Silent Hill/P.T. and the development with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain gave the company a bad reputation.
Now it's just almost out of the picture, and it's sad. Could Konami at least sell or borrow their IP's
to some developers? The franchises are too iconic to just let them be...in overall, Konami's business might be elsewhere, but someday they ought to return to gaming.
