roun90 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Via IGN: The "playable teaser" for Konami's upcoming horror gameSilent Hills will be delisted from Sony's online marketplace in just four days. The publisher posted a notice on the game's official website, announcing that come April 29, the "distribution period of 'P.T. (Playable Teaser)' on PlayStation Store will expire." Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/26/konami-removing-silent-hills-pt-from-playstation-store If you wish to keep a copy on your PS4, download it now. Not sure what this means to the future of Silent Hills. Think it's mostly cancelled or remade from ground up as different to completely erase Kojima's inut so far into it maybe?

playstationdude Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 yup..it's canceled... Konami have already made it clear Silent Hills will proceed even without Kojima. Besides, Silent hill series wasn't even created by Kojima so not sure why they would can it just cause he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssytu2939446d Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Once you purchase a game, it will remain in your a/c even if it's pulled down from the store. But if it's pulled from the servers, how'll you be able to redownload it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Once you purchase a game, it will remain in your a/c even if it's pulled down from the store. Do not think it is that simple. They are taking down the game from the servers, so there would not be any data to access / retrieve. sent from miG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Without Kojima, Konami is dead Even the PES uses his Fox Engine Konami is a big fool if they really let him go The question is who owns the FOX Engine. Kojima created the engine, but most likely it is Konami which owns the rights to the engine. In which case, you will still see FOX Engine games from Konami. However, with Kojima gone, I don't think Konami has anyone left who has the vision and will be able to create major franchises. From now on, I won't be surprised if the major Konami developed games we see (outside of the obvious MGS cash-in) would be PES and Yu-Gi-Oh. Rest of the games (Silent Hill, Castlevania etc.) they have already set the trend of outsourcing to Western Devs. Maybe even MGS will be outsourced to Western devs (bad choice for Konami, but I can see it happening).

WhiteWolf Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Also I don't think kojima will just let go off the rights to games he has nurtured with so much hard work Rights? What rights? Konami owns the IP not Kojima...Kojima was making MGS games as Konami's employee...He can't do sh*t. Konami owns both MGS and FOX Engine...Everything related to MGS belongs to Konami.. Kojima will go indie and start his own studio like Inafune i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Only 15% of Konami's revenue comes from console/PC games, so if it is not making profit they can just say fk it and shut down that branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I never said he owns Fox Engine Or anything for that matter that he created while working for Konami He was just an employee who was given a very senior position & his own separate team after his success What I was trying to say is that even PES was indirectly developed by him What is Konami gona do without this guy in future There is not a single game Konami doesn't screw up where he isn't involved Look at Metal Gear Rising It was given to his immediate junior rank & that idiot couldn't even create a proper engine that could handle that game Had to be given to PG who remade it in their in-house engine Castlevania 2 Look at the reviews Kojima is the only guy that makes money for them He is like the backbone of Konami If you remove the backbone the body can't stand I still feel it's one of his jokes I think Konami's major revenue is from gambling machines. So most probably they won't care much even if they have to exit from video game business. But it does mean that we will either see great IPs being abandoned entirely or more likely they will just outsource it to other devs and rake in cash on brand name alone. There is a possibility Konami themselves might not develop much any more. But this will affect the quality of games (look at recent Castlevania and Silent Hill games). MG:R I think was more of an exception to outsourced games being bad. All this is bad for us gamers and not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 When I talk about Konami here in this blog & topic obviously I'm talking about AAA games business What they do or don't outside of it is not relevant to this & my point Lol It wasn't bad It was best of it's kind PG is HnS king What I meant was without Kojima that studio is worthless That's what I said. MG:R was the exception to the trend of outsourced games being bad. Sorry for not making that clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
