Konami is amongst the worst and been so for the last, what, 10 years? its amzing how they did survive that long. then again gaming is such a profitable business that this is theo nly place where you can be a total asshole and still get away with it. and people still buy those games. i wont look at the silent hill series after the 5th one, that had worse optimization than GTA4, ahrder controls than SH1, and only was scary because you never knew when the guy woudl decide to scrach his nose instead of listening to your controls and evade that nurse stab.
P.S. you talk how SH2 is the best game you ever played and catn be bothered to get its footage? (SH3 footage was shown instead). i guess you were in a hurry.

Most of this was already clear to me- releasing the three new Silent Hills in one month was always insane, although Book of Memories has now been delayed and the HD Collection is delayed in Europe- but I had no idea there was a shortage of the MGS HD Collection. There were tons of copies in Ireland. Even my small town game rental place had a load of them.
Maybe they accidentally sent us all the stock that was supposed to go to America/ the UK

How could he miss the biggest fuck-up of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection?
Namely, that is doesn't even contain Metal Gear Solid!!!
What sort of idiot thought that was a good idea?

Good to know I'm not the only one wondering wtf is going on with Konami. They had just been putting out 2D Castlevania games on portables for a decade, and while they were good, I wanted to see a full blown console one like Symphony of the Night again. Instead we got the terrible idea that was the multiplayer game. Then they axed the Suikoden franchise, a series I loved and had been doing well for a long time, in particular with 5 making up for a lot of 4's shortcomings. So what do they do? Make Terkris and change the whole fucking formula of Suikoden and make it portable only. And now they're saying they're basically ending the series, and if they don't they'll just make more portable games. WHERE THE FUCK IS SUIKODEN 6? You know, the one that was planned to finally go to Harmonia?
They do have problems over there. A lot of publishers seems to have decided to neglect the western market because they chose to just concentrate on the Japanese market instead. There is also the fact that they spent many years acting like game engines are suppose to be business secrets instead of sharing them like the western market does. Over here in the west we also speak a lot more English so we communicate more efficiently between countries and developers.karloss01 said:
At this point the best idea seems to be to never fall in love with a studio or developers because they change employees and ideals so much that in 5 years they wont be the same. It is instead better to see where the talents go instead. Except that video-game media is kinda bad at covering individuals in the industry or they don't want the publicity.
As if to prove his point about Konami's poor advertising, I didn't know halve those games were supposed to be out
That's probably because of some licensing with Sony as you can get MGS1 as a PSOne Classic on PSN. They also have MGS4, so if you want to get the beginning or end of the Metal Gear story (in order of release) you have to go through Sony.beetrain said:
Now, someone can remind me, but isn't it MGS3 Subsistence (the red box) edition in the collection? And does that have MGS1 or just Metal Gear Solid Snake?
Does anyone remember that they cut Peace Walker from the Metal Gear HD collection on the Vita?
I'll still probably get it on Vita over a console (I have my reasons), but that's kind of a jerk move.
I had actually wanted to play the Silent Hill collection when it was originally scheduled to launched back in January. Every time I had gone to pick it up, the release date was pushed back a few weeks. I had it on pre-order, and I couldn't think of anything else to get instead, so I waited. It's finally out, 3 months late, and I have no desire to play it now, and with the issues Jim pointed out, I'm taking it back. Probably getting Bejeweled 3 or something.
Yeah I've had the game for a week, and never opened it. Thanks Jim for the info. Saved me some more disappointment.

Konami has been fucking Silent Hill series up it's arse since 2004. Remember what happened to Team Silent? Also, Akira Yamaoka and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn wanted to do a live concert together (fucking awesome!) but Konami said no. Seriously, FUCK KONAMI.
Wait....seriously? That was actually going to be a thing and they said no?!Major_Tom said:
Why in the name of Odin's beard did they say no?! I would've gone to that!
God-FUCKING-dammit!
Not too far from that video was one of them playing together. I would've loved to see that live, but I guess those videos are just going to have to be good enough for now. Thanks for those!Major_Tom said:
Hell yeah they do, they are a great team! My favorite stuff that they did together was in SH3, I adore that soundtrack. I just hope they continue working together.Major_Tom said:
