Good riddance.
As much as I was looking forward to Silent Hills I'm hopeful that this will actually give those properties a chance to be put under new ownership. Suikoden in particular needs a revival.
Heck yes it does!
I've been waiting for a new Suikoden for such a long time it seems.
It's the only series I care about from them at this time because amazingly enough
I have never touched a Silent Hills, Castlevania or MGS game. I'm probably missing out on it but thats too bad, I was actually considering trying out Silent Hills because that PT was scary, it made me cry. I did play the Ninja Turtles game from them though and I too really enjoyed that one back when I had the SNES.
So, main issue is that Konami has been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, which already looks bad. On top of that from unofficial rumors it sounds like a lot of Kojima's studio is being let go.
A large majority portion of Konami's profit is made off of pachinko in japan and gambling-type machines, so if you ask me this is all very bad. There's be a recent revival of groups trying to legalize gambling in Japan, and in addition there have been some rumblings about a new large mobile division in Konami.
In my opinion all this signals is Metal Gear Homebase: a Metal Gear themed Clash of Clans, and maybe a Silent Hill Slot Machine, or other ridiculous and kind of sad things.
Try to think of what Konami has put out internationally in the last half decade, it's gone down quite a bit.
