Konami is no longer a relevant video game company...
Then it would be a match made in heaven since E3 hasn’t been relevant since the Wii era.
They should sell off Metal Gear solid, Castlevania, Contra, and Silent Hill to Sony or Microsoft (or Nintendo, I'd be down for that, too)
What's a Konami?
And nothing of value was lost...
Why would Konami go anyway? E3 is for Videogames.
Now how will we hear about their thrilling pachinko machines?
just give mgsolid 1 to bluepoint and be done with u haha!
unless...
silent hill works with sony kojima and konami on the back side then hell yes! hahaha
Sad to see the current state of Konami. Legendary IP's they have no interest in showing anymore.
"Konami no longer doing relevant stuff"
No one cares about their mobile games.
It's not like they had anything to present to the public...
