What the heck is happening with Hideo Kojima and Konami anyway?!

The Konami roller-coaster ride continues as the publisher now says that they’re not done with console games or their biggest franchises.

Yes, the latest Metal Gear Solid title is a big fat hit for Konami. Here’s the thing though, it’s going to have to be absolutely massive to be profitable.

The soccer series known as PES will go on, but it definitely seems as though Konami is all done with making console games.

Ready to add a second screen to your Metal Gear Solid V experience? Then you’re going to want the companion app from Konami.

If this really is the last Metal Gear Solid game, then the series is going out with a pretty big bang.

Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaaake?! Oh wait, it’s not Snake that’s missing, it’s Kojima. As in, his name (and studio) are now gone off the box art for Metal Gear Solid V.

So what is happening with Kojima Productions anyway? Well, if you believe the voice of Solid Snake himself (actor Akio Otsuka), the studio has been dissolved or has broken up.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain tells a story of pain, vengeance, and… Les Enfantes Terribles.

Remember that bit after the Kojima/Konami split where the game-maker said that they’re moving into mobile games and kind of forgetting about consoles? Well, forget that… mostly.

There certainly doesn’t seem to be a heck of a lot of love between film director Guillermo del Toro and Konami right now.

A dark day for game fans who love the classic franchises of Konami as it seems like the publisher is heading towards something of a split with console gaming.

It looks like the P.T. reprieve is finally over as the horror demo is gone, and with it all traces of Silent Hills.

A shorter show this time.

For some reason, the Silent Hills demo P.T. is still posted and ‘buyable’ on the PSN, even though the game was supposed to have been pulled yesterday.

Boy is there a lot of stuff swirling around Konami right now. The latest, and decidedly not-greatest, is that the Japanese gaming giant has officially delisted itself from the New York Stock Exchange.
