Why would Konami fire the only person keeping them relevant right now? The Castlevania teams are gone, Team Silent is Dead, Zone of the Enders is in Limbo. What do they have left besides Kojima and Yugioh?

It doesn't surprise me that Konami would make more Metal Gear games without Kojima's direction.

It wouldn't [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake%27s_Revenge] be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear:_Ghost_Babel] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid:_Portable_Ops] first [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Acid] time [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Acid_2] they've done it, either.

Zone of the Enders was made by Kojima. In fact, I'm pretty certain he has expressed interest in making a sequel. In other words, it's not because there is no interest on the creative team's side.

Well you know Konami you have Cont-Oh okay um

What about Castleva- Oh, you don't want to do that again either?..Why?

Okay okay don't give me the stink eye um...how about Zone of the En- Jeez okay I'm sorry no need to throw things!

Oh I got it! Why not do Gradi- No no no! I want my job! My wife is about to give birth I'm sorry! I just know a lot of people would like to see that game updated with modern tech and we could take it in a new direction! We could beat Star Fox to the punch.

Um..You could always release a digital sequel to that game with a cult following called Zombies ate my Neighbors?
Oh. You don't remember that? It was this wacky game you published back in the day where you were this kids running around saving the world from every movie monster in the book- Yes Sir. Yes I was joking..

So you just want us to make a mobile free to play Silent Hill game and keep carrying on with Metal Gear even though we have no place left to go with the series?

Um...Konami. Why do you hate your legacy?

No comment on Silent Hills is worrying. It's the sole game that has me remotely interested in a PlayStation 4 and it could be in jeopardy D: (!!!!! internal panic)

Come on, Shattered Memories and Downpour were great, the series can still thrive.

So in short: They said a lot of nothing, and plugged their game.
Well, at least it was as newsworthy as the rumor that preceded it.
