I mean he’s right though, up until IV the story in SF games was just background shit to give characters a reason to fight each other, which was commonplace in the genre in general, with only some going out of their way to actually develop their lore. It wasn’t until V when story mode became a selling point
i always wondered if it was a japanese thing about not wanting to firmly establish a pecking order like the story in street fighter could just be about the tournament and have a different winner each game or something but then you’d have to show cammy beating honda in cannon and people would freak out or something. same with kof we can assume kyo,iori,terry,and alot of the other team leads are around the same level but they’ll never show it.
Barring an outright bracket or people actually fighting the tournament on screen, this isn’t a problem.
Capcom is just lazy.

Konami doing jack-and-shit with their IP.
Just sell everything, Metal Gear, Gyruss, Gradius, Penguin Adventure, Zone of the Enders, Suikoden, Sun Manbow, Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra, TwinBee, Star Solder, Adventure Island, Ganbare Goemon, Crush Pinball, International Superstar Soccer, Lethal Enforcers, Coded Arms, Parodius, everything except Yugioh, Yugioh can disappear into obscurity if you ask me.

Xbox’s quick resume demo is cool but…how many games does M$ think we are going to be playing at one time?

That maybe the case but they set that up from the beginning. She needed the souls Shang Tsung collected to boost her power enough to perform a full timeline reset. If she were all powerful, she would not need them, her crown, nor the minions to carry out her task.

I mean yea Kronica’s power is being a little over stated here, her larger feats involve “cheats” to power herself up to be able to perform them.

Oh also made it past the first boss of Nioh 2. Dude took some work and I won’t lie I eventually summoned a Blue Phantom/Grave to help out. They draw aggro so well. Still have stuff to figure out but the games clicking with me and I am enjoying it more then I did the first one so far.

Oh don’t get me wrong, both stories are hella dumb and silly. Difference is MK has always acknowledged it.
Sonic 06 had Sonic trying to fuck a human tho. Nuff’ said.

why do I think this is highly unlikely castlevanias and metal gears yeah whatever what about their other games like silent hill,contra, gradius not forgetting the fact they bought hudson soft not too long ago. It’s Konami going to get rid off all that just when they’re about to launch the turbograpx mini? Not so sure about that
CDPR is letting personnel work remotely from home for the rest of CP2077 dev cycle. Game still slated for September

after i’ve given it some thought i will say if it wasn’t for silent hill being worth something as at least a movie franchise i could see konami letting it go. i think castlevania is in a weird position it’s got an active anime bringing attention to the franchise but game wise it’s future is just a collection of gba/ds games so i guess that would depend on how much konami would want for it. metal gear solid- hell no konami’s never letting go of that shit.

Such talks to sell rights can take years. Disney was talking to Lucas for almost 10 years, 8 in negotiations to sell them all of Lucas Film and it’s attached companies and properties.
It would not take Sony and Konami that long to negotiate.
And Sony is well aware of the TG16/PC E Mini, they would ether work out a deal with Konami to allow them to still sell the Mini or wait till Konami stops production before the transfer of right would begin.
Anyways the Minis don’t stay on the market for long, only reason we saw the NES and SNES minis on the market as long as we did was because of demand for the product. The Neo geo Mini cab is already stopped production, Sega isn’t going to sell their mini for that much longer, and we know the PS1 Mini production has stopped.
Except that without Kojima, that Konami prove that they have no fucking clue how to handle the Metal Gear Series. Survivor proved that.

Doesn’t matter if Konami can make a good MGS game or not IF it sells. Possible they’ll sell the IP, but unlikely. It’s their golden goose
It’s only their Golden Goose as long as they do something worthwhile with the eggs
So far they managed to try to make an omelet and burt it.
Sony is not stupid, know that they need exclusives to compete, and Microsoft is on the hunt for new IP and buying out studios. Konami has no fucking clue what to do with their IP.
They might just gift the entire Konami IP Library (minus Yugioh) over to Sony.
