This is a normal post
Konami are fucked. Anyone that doesn't know what I'm on about and is vaguely interested in videogames should google this, because it's a thing.

Basically, Hideo Kojima, bloke that makes Metal Gear Solid, has split from the company, this Silent Hills project is now cancelled, and Konami have pissed off a lot of fans for the handling of the whole thing.

This is a normal post feels like there's been a serious slump in Japanese game dev for a while now
Team Ico, Kojima, Namco all failing to hit the highs they used to.

Edit - Knomai suddenly trending on Twitter, they've delisted themselves from the Stock Exchange

This is a normal post From Software are doing pretty good
Bloodborne's met good reception all round, and they've been going since the 80s. They also have a few real gems in their back catalogue, not just Demon's/Dark Souls.

If Ground Zeroes is anything to go off, The Fountain Pen Phantom Pain will be a really good game, if a bit too gritty and serious compared to other MGS games. Its a shame about Silent Hills though, and to be fair Kojima has been saying he wanted out from MGS and Konami since Snake Eater.

Also, the giant that is Square-Enix is churning out plenty of acceptable games, and the odd really good one, quite consistently.

This is a normal post I was sure it was an intense marketing push
which would somehow reflect some deception in the game.
But now I am not so sure.
Exactly as they wish!

This is a normal post I heard a rumour about Kojima that piqued my interest...
Is there any truth to the assertion that the reason the plots of the MGS games are so impenetrable and - frankly - stupid is that Kojima was trying to get himself fired? Never before or since I played a couple of the sequels have I heard myself say "what the fuck was that supposed to be about?"

This is a normal post ^Like I said up there
It was quite well known that after MGS3 came out Kojima wanted to end the series there and then, but the clamor for a sequel and the money Konami offered him brought him back to tie the loose threads up in MGS4

This is a normal post Is 3 the one with the wet hen of a protagonist and the oil rig things?
That was some batshit mental stuff there, by which I mean incomprehensible dross.
