Konami is back

Just like the title says Konomi is officially back making hits again. A lot of people didn’t think this day would ever happen after the departure of Kojima MGS franchise was thought to be lost and dormant forever but we in 2024 almost 10 years later and we have a remake of metal gear solid 3 that I’m still somewhat on the fence about given the way they implemented the loading screens. I kind of felt They should’ve went The same route as silent hill 2 remake Or at the very least expanded the level design with no loading screens, no detection timer like the phantom pain done it More realistic And then that brings me to this remake silent Hill 2, which looks amazing Bloober team hit the home run. I think it’s gonna be better than the resident evil remakes giving the open ended aspect of the gameplay, allowing you to walk and wonder Through the whole town full of buildings that you can now go into it’s gonna be special

If they make BRAND NEW Games and not Remakes + Huge success financially. then that's probably the moment they are back

I’ve been playing games long enough to be able to look at gameplay of a game and tell if it’s gonna be a hit or not and I haven’t been wrong yet

They are just capitalising on Remake/Remaster craze with external help. Call me when they have their own studios working on a new good games.

I think they are hoarding money off of remakes because this is the trend now. Everybody started doing remake. They will probably start bringing new ideas after they have enough money. Bloober hit a home run with this project. This put them on the map. Imagine if one day Bloober joins forces with Ninja theory , Frictional Games and Remedy.

But Konami didn't even make the game.

I wouldn't go that far. Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly pleased they're dusting these IPs they've been sitting on off finally. Especially Suikoden. That one makes me really happy to see. And I still want to see their other fallow franchises as well. Gradius, Goemon, etc.

But the idea of their being "back" to me implies them returning to full scale in-house development of brand new original projects with their own dedicated internal teams. And that doesn't appear to be likely anytime soon.

If there's to be any narrative that emerges from this game turning out to be what I hope it will (still reserving judgment for stability and performance reports personally, but it looks great imo,) in my eyes it should be, "Bloober has arrived," rather than, "Konami is back." Give the devs who labored to create this their flowers if it turns out to be a game you love.

If this game succeeds it will be in spite of Konami, not because of them. Konami is one of the absolute worst entities in this business, tied with Embracer for lack of foresight and scorn for its audience.
