Konami won't be doing any more AAA console games (except games currently in production)

Shoot yourself in the foot.

I think in this case, they shot themselves with RPGs in the hips.

[SImoHayha]

At least they waited until the MG story was done.

The Metal Gear story ? It wasn't completed sadly a missing mission 51 and a lost chapter 3 titled Peace. feels like bullshit to me to be honest. Hopefully Konami will sell MG and the other series they have so that way the games we came to love continue living.

 

I personally want them to sell MG so that way Kojima can create the rest of the story and maybe the missing chapter 3 if the publishers let him or even ask him if he wants to.

I remember a time when AAA referred to the quality on the first day of sale, not the budget or company behind the game.

RIP in Avocado dip

[FratStar]

I really hope he gets saved from this crap. He doesn't deserve this

 

I played crash bash like a maniac.

 

I believe Activision owns the IP for Crash. Crash is completely unrelated to Konami.

[Dabombinable]

So...they are sticking with just freemium games and pachinko machines.

[Commander Llama]

It's weird, I hardly feel like I've lost a thing. It's almost like 95%+ of their games suck and they're making the right choice!

[Sharkyx1]

People are grossly overestimating the value of the gaming market to Konami, they make a lot of non gaming related stuff

It would be like if Sony or LG stopped making phones

[TrigrH]

Knockout

[Kamina]

Break a leg, literally.

[asker509]

Man this probably just the start AAA games are making less sense then ever

[Lethal Seraph]

On the good side, other game developers can snatch veteran game devs from Konami.

Wikipedia says Konami published Crash bandicoot so i dunno

[Bouzoo]

Wikipedia says Konami published Crash bandicoot so i dunno

 

From Wiki as well. 

However, shortly after, this was proven false, as an Activision representative told Game Informer that "[Activision still owns] Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series to life".

[samcool55]

From Wiki as well. 

Oh lol

 

Well i don't know what to belive now, oh well i hope it sticks around

[Albatross]

I hate mobile games. They have ruined everything.

#fuckonami

 

Suikoden <3 (even if it's dead since the ps2)

[Biased Opinion]

DDR, Yu-Gi-Oh, suikoden, TMNT, all dead.

And the legendary crash bandicoot is probably one that will go in the books of history as a legend...

 

If you want to know what sh*t we get, it's stuff like sudoku and stupid card games, GG.

 

From hero to zero in an instant.

 

Oh yea, and i don't think mobile is your future konami, the amount of android games released this year are, oh what a suprise, 0

and that number will appear more and more if you don't get your sh*t together.

I would not be supprised if DDR manages to live on given that it is an arcade game and just like maxitune the hardcores will keep bringing in money for the title.

[linuxfan66]

i suspect some aaa companies will shutdown or leave the market and cause someone else to rise...so konami going down isnt a bad thing if something new takes it place.

[FratStar]

Oh lol

 

Well i don't know what to belive now, oh well i hope it sticks around

 

Trust me it's Activision. They are the ones that published the mobile version of Crash Nitro Kart 2 and also Crash used to be on their website up until like 2013.

[dimitriianghelov]

damn it feels good to be right, now go look for a new job if you didn't by now
