I didn't know there were new Metal Gear games.

Someone's gonna have to bring me up to speed.

Well there's one in the works, and there have been a few online ones but I abandoned the series after MGS4.

They don't get the hype they used to because something like Konami owns the characters, but Hideo Kojima still owns the story so the recent ones have just been garbage without Hideo willing to work with Konami.

At least that how I remember ii....I could be a bit off.

Kojima already took the series off the rails with MGSV, story is so bad. Also MGS is not the same to me without cool boss battles, even if the main gameplay is good.

Contra Rogue Corps has been getting trashed, I haven't gotten to trying the demo yet myself though.

I wasn't wowed, and I'm just played too many of these generic, shootem up zombie games, so this was just the same thing but with aliens.  It'll be on Plus for fee soon enough....I just decided to go back and try to finish FFX instead.

I'm confused, who's making these games?

So Konami didn't die? I thought there was a whole hoopla about them dying.

I mean they aren't a major player anymore, and I think they lost a lost of licenses, so they are probably on life support....But they are still releasing Yugioh shit too....So nope, not dead....Just celebrated their 50th anni this year.

I believe he's thinking of how they dropped most of the video games to focus on slot machines and mobile gaming. I don't get it either, but big game makers keep making games so I'll see them do new things eventually. Hell, Bloodstained finally came out a while back.

Goddamn, that's even sadder than them dying (with dignity) completely.

I can't think of a ton of Konami franchises I love outside of Castlevania, but I completely agree. I haven't played a single MGS, maybe I'd enjoy them. But I know Konami had plenty of one-offs I probably enjoyed. At least the creators keep going, I know I'm not the only person that sees art in a lot of games.
