/vr/ - Retro Games

Anyone who thinks capitalism is the answer might just need to look at the state of gaming, art, and music, while also looking at the state of science and realize that there must be a better way.

>>2402334
We're long past the ways of capitalism, we're living in pure corporatism aka the "free market" everyone praises but very few actually understand.

>>2402334
>>2402337
Too true. We need strong leadership, celebration of the volk, and for the degenerate artists and the parasitic Jew to be eliminated.

I heard they are even trying to ban money, so they have your money right in their hands and if you dont spend, they raise interest.

They were in kind of a rut from a long while, with most of their IP languishing with mediocre titles (see Gradius and Parodius, Goemon, Silent Hill and Castlevania). It's not really surprising.

>>2402363
It's the mark of the beast, consult Revelations, it's all foretold there.

The mark of the beast is a combination of letters and symbols that will be physically and permanently placed on your forehead or right hand. Most people will consider it an honor to receive the mark. It will be like a key for them that will open doors of acceptance, prosperity and peace.

The mark of the beast will be placed on people who worship the beast and choose to receive his mark. There will be severe penalties for refusing the mark and great rewards for getting it.

The mark of the beast will be enforced. The people who believe in the beast and worship him will be glad to get his mark.

The beast is not a person or a human organization. The beast is Satan himself. But when Satan comes as the beast he will appear in a glorious body. People will not recognize him as the Devil. He will claim to be God and most people will believe that he is God.

The mark of the beast is an outward, physical symbol, showing that the wearer has chosen to worship the beast and receive him as God.

U wot m9

wtf is going on in this thread

I like that you put quotes around free market at least.

Ain't nothin free when the government takes half of your money by force and depreciates the rest while handing it over to their campaign contributors

>Konami is taking Hudson's IPs with them to the grave
why Konami

Why don't konami licence their properties out to other companies if they're not bothered about making their own games ala strider?

>>2402462
because they would have to give konami a part of the profits?

>>2402462
They did, smartypants. What do you think Gradius 5, Castlevania LoS and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories are?

>>2402334
Anyone who thinks socialism is the answer might want to look at the state of creative commons while shoving government cheese into coinops.

>>2402384

We shall see, there are still things to come.

Gradius V HD when?????????????

>>2402379
Hopefully they pull a Square-Enix and start porting some of their older 2D games to Android. If they put a Gradius or Parodius Collection on the Google Play Store it would be the first Android app I've ever bought.

>>2402503

Yes anon, they should also look at cuba, it's not like they have hospitals/doctors or a good education, they probably don't even have food or a place to sleep, that's what fox news showed me.

>>2402503
explain

>>2402656
they have doctors but no equipment or medicine.
even the hookers have a phd alright but it's 80s era education full of demagogy propaganda and exlatation of the castros family
plus the general populace dont have access to the internet. I wouldnt want to live there

>>2402675
>but no equipment or medicine

Prove it, because from what i know cuba has an incredibly low dying birthrate percentual, and she send doctors for humanitarian help to other countries, and their doctors are also some of the best specialized.

>80s era education full of demagogy propaganda and exlatation of the castros family


In the 80's probably, castro talked about his wrongdoings over the years and how many thing were fixed over the decades.

>plus the general populace dont have access to the internet

They are going to have it since the aperture toward the USA, which is also something that had to be done, hopefully without the risk of being raped again.

I kinda saw this coming in 2009.

They only have themselves to blame.

>>2402694

Konami is doing more money with gyms, as a corporation they don't care.
They bet everything on a single man, the man left and they have no reason to continue.

>>2402416
Nah, they're going to make to pay2win versions for mobile. I can't wait for Bomberman: Buy Your Powerups edition.

>>2402675
>they have doctors but no equipment or medicine.
That should no longer be true. As the whole reason they did not have a lot of that stuff is because they could not import it from the states and importing goods from europe made the price of medical equipment 10x higher than normal. so much for "humanitarianism". now that they're more openly trading with america, the price of medical equipment should drop considerably. as for why they just did not import said goods from mexico or central america, that remains a mystery.

>>2402331
is this any real surprise? the japanese console market is DEAD. the decrease in numbers of japanese children being born, along with sales of handhelds, tablets & smartphones killed it. sony saw it coming, which is why they created the psp to begin with and the only reason PS4 exists is because of america & europe.

Not only are they killing their IPs they've effectively killed Hudson who was planning on reviving older defunct IPs before being bought out
They need to go back to the rebirth line of game

>>2402384

>>2402797

Come on anon, leave the shitposter alone.

>>2402756
Is there another crash coming?

>>2402331
at least that will stop them from making metal gear sequels without kojima
MGSV will probably be the last one ever made

>>2402898

Unless, in the future kojima production will have in a way or another the rights for metal gear.
I know it doesn't sound feasible, but piranha bites got the rights for gothic after jowood went down.

>>2402687

What kind of poorly written bullshit post is this?

>>2402913

The same kind you just wrote anon.

>>2402908
this is konami we're talking about, they're gonna drag it down to pachinko hell, metal gear is done
i just hope kojima finds a new publisher and keeps making games

what will happen to all the IP's? can somebody try to buy them? surely nintendo or even capcom (which is on a slight upswing, keyword: slight) could purchase them. I want my godamned Castlevania, Silent Hill, Gradius and (most importantly to me) Metal Gear!

>>2402918
it's over man
best case scenario, kojima makes a spiritual version of silent hills with the old ideas and assets under a new name

It just seems too strange to me that they would stop PES from being produced.
But if that happens then konami is dead as of gaming.

>>2402918
It's depressing to think about all the IPs Konami is sitting on and potentially will take to the grave.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up clawing onto them just to make pachinko machines or some other bullshit.

>>2402927
>kojima makes a spiritual version of silent hills with the old ideas and assets under a new name

If only, he still has kojima production, right ?
It's not part of konami or something if i remember correctly,

>>2402927
>kojima makes a spiritual version of silent hills with the old ideas and assets under a new name

Because that worked so well for Evil Within right?

I have a feeling that Konami will either license their IP's or sell them off. Which basically means that anything Castlevania, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and a lot of other franchises that haven't been supported are just going to die.

>>2402927
>>2402930
I just got done with finals this week, and this is what I get. suppose it's time to buy all those konami games I've been putting off before the prices jump up too high

>>2402934
my precious metal gear is going to get whored on the streets

I just checked and noooope, kojima production is dead.

>It's not part of konami or something if i remember correctly.

Well, it's difficult to say when it's very likely that all of the resources Kojima is/was using were provided by Konami, which means they since he's left they get to take it all back. This could be anything, including office space, computers, even employees.

>>2402986
Kojima will be able to rebuild. guy's name is worth its weight in gold. he'll be hired/published by other studios

>>2402968

Konami is a big producer of pachinko machine, this mean that the company is closily related to yakuza right ?

>>2402618
>Gradius V HD when?????????????

You can play it today on PCSX2. Hell I used to play it 8 years ago.

>>2402989

Yuou have to take into consideration a few things though.
Kojima get too easily excited by hollywood, and all kind of superficial shit like that.
Most studios want him to whore his name, we are talking about an industry packed with interests in money, not in creativity.
This means that he could easily choose ubisoft\EA insted of a smaller studios, because doing so he can eat hamburgers with his most loved star N.2347564 from hollywood.

>>2402476
shit games.

>>2402656
They don't even have toilet paper Mike. Go kill yourself with another burger.

>>2403041
>Gradius 5
>shit

oh no you di'n't

Its kind of hard for me to give a shit really.
Castlevania went in a direction I didn't like with LoS and LoS2. The GBA/DS ones were all basically the same game, with incredibly lazy copy pasting of enemies from previous games.

Silent Hill was getting stale.

Metal Gear had closure with 4. They tacked on another game just for the sake of it I feel like.

I'm honestly not happy, but not sad either. I hope that in this void thats created we get some new IP's from new players that try and push their creative boundaries. Also, Kojima is so high on himself I'd like to see him actually have to make something really groundbreaking again instead of 3 hours of gameplay, 40 hours of shitty movie.

>>2402989
I wasn't saying he can't start over.

>>2403052
>Its kind of hard for me to give a shit really.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean it's one of my favorite studios but I can't bring myself to like the course they took. The old franchise lie idle or turned into something I don't really like. Same situation with Capcom.

16bit Konami (and Capcom) were a magical thing for me so I'm not really gleeful to see them turning into a glorified mobile app dev, but I have a hunch they wouldn't make anything I'd like in the future anyway.

>>2403052
>The GBA/DS ones were all basically the same game,
i actually liked the direction they went after PoR with more linear levels but still keeping the rpg elements, but yeah I know what you mean

>>2403046
compared to gaiden, yea it is

>>2403090
I don't even consider it a Gradius game, it doesn't have the moai stage, dude!

>>2402993
Not just Pachinko, I went to a casino a while ago and there are some touch-screen slot machines that have their name on them

Gradius V was a Treasure game.

>>2402334
>Given how influential Konami was in so many varied genres in the past as well as the present

If this were still the 90s I'd agree with you but ever since the 2000s they haven't really done much noteworhy in the industry aside from Metal Gear. All their other IPs were either completely ignored or had releases with very little attention that were usually stuck to handhelds.

Before anyone gets mad I'm not saying their other games were bad, just that most of them didn't really have much of an impact like they did during the 80s and 90s.

>the government is good, this statistic given to me by the government proves it

This is you talking about Cuba.
People want Cuba to succeed (as long the revolution doesn't happen in their countries, of course), so there is a lot of misinformation going on.
But you could say cuba succeed in making everyone equal.
Equaly poor.

The gaming industry, what went wrong?

>>2403203
Not enough gamer entitlement. People swallowing bullshit like fremium and DLC which gave the producers funny ideas.

Is anyone else not gaming nearly as often as they used to? None of the new consoles interest me.

>>2403214
Nope. Old games are fun.

>>2403214
it's just you, i suggest wasting less time getting into pointless arguments on the internet and playing more vidya

>>2402916

No, my post makes sense.

>>2403187

They managed to do a mini revival of the dating sim genre with Love Plus and all the different versions of the game that they released off it,

But the guys who were making Love Plus "retired" and left Konami according to Twitter. Every singe franchise you care or don't care is going down with the Konami mobile ship like everyone else.

>>2403730
>Every singe franchise you care or don't care is going down with the Konami mobile ship like everyone else.

That's so weird to think that there will literally NEVER be another Castlevania game until Konami goes bankrupt and their IPs get bought out by another company.

Do you really think Nintendo's zealous fanbase will ever let them sink? These twats are still under the delusion that Nintendo is the GOOD GUY, Ive seen cultists swallow less Koolaid

>>2403945
true story

>>2403945
Nintendos had their ups and downs. NES SNES and GC were ups, and outside of a few good games the N64, Wii, and Wii-U have been pretty downs.

well, this has been the most active /vr/ thread i've seen in a while. might even hit bump limit in two weeks.

>>2403963
The Wii was definitely not a down for Nintendo, no matter your opinion about the intended audience.

>>2403963
wii is the best selling console ever, not a down

>>2403915
Nintendo is worth like 10 BILLION dollars. It's gonna be decades before they run out. Japan is more likely to be destroyed in WWIII before that happens.

>>2403963
>GC were ups

That's a fucking joke. That console was GARBAGE. The Wii was spotty at best, but Wii Sports, Wii Play, some of the golf and tennis games and lightgun shooters and Mario Kart and miscellanea more than made it worth it.

>>2403760
It lives on with every click on a tentacle rape vid.

>>2403984
I will never understand why they didn't buy the rights to sonic when they had the chance. It would have been such a good fit to move it over to Nintendo.

>>2403982
No it's not. The Wii is only the 5th best selling console, behind the PS2, Nintendo DS, Game Boy and Playstation.

>>2404005
Outsold the PS1 and any single model of the GB.

>>2404025
Except it didn't outsell the PS1 or the original Game Boy. Google search for best-selling consoles, >>2404005 is absolutely correct.
