them relying on external support for all of these has me hopeful because they've shown with their last few releases they don't have the talent internally currently

A proper MGS4 port would finally render the PS3 completely unnecessary.

Also still expected Pachinko before clicking the topic.

I just need MGS4 on current consoles, doesn't even have to have anything changed, just straight up ported.

No more money in pachinko and PES? Will they actually try to run a company the right way?

Believe it when I see it

Other game companies have money in pachinko. Just not at the expense of everything else for literally no reason.

I hope with this new fresh start they do something crazy like make a new Double Dribble or Blades of Steel

they did recently start up a new merch store too

seems like they figured out they could exploit their IP a lot more

I got a Goemon shirt off their store a few months ago. hopefuly this means a new Mystical Ninja eventually too.

Yeah, it's almost as if a videogame developer/publisher makes money by..."making video games."

I mean not stuff like Contra Rogue Corps or Metal Gear Survive...but actual video games.

Yes and no. They just have to make video games that are good enough to sell merch. They just figured out if they never make video games their IPs will slowly fade into obscurity.

On the surface this is exciting news, but MGS3 Remake without Kojima? Castlevania reimagined how? Silent Hill without Team Silent?

Meh.

Kojima has been tied to Silent Hill again over the past year. I wouldn't be shocked if the "prominent Japanese Studio" is KojiPro.

Would've preferred an actual Suikoden 6 (or whatever number they finish the story on) before getting a spiritual successor >_>

I mean, take what you can get at this point. With present-day Konami, Suikoden 6 would be a monkey paw wish.

Plot twist: they rebranded it eFootball because they knew the game was unsalvageable, which lets them launch the 'true' PES successor later
