Konami cancel 5 PS3 games

Jan 11, 2007 00:34
According to Famitsu, coming via Gamefront, Konami have canceled development of:
Gradius
Coded Arms: Assault
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu (baseball game that' s big in Japan)
Unidentified new action title
Unidentified new RPG
Now, Coded Arms has already been rumoured to have been canceled. Gradius being canceled would only be bad for people like myself and ofcourse Terry, and i doubt anybody here would play Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu anyway. The action title and RPG were announced projects but we' ve never heard any details about them.
If it' s true then it sucks and it could be an indication of problems. Not technical problems or anything, i' m just wondering whether Microsoft have some involvement. Konami isn' t exactly a huge company and i wouldn' t put it past Microsoft to buy them. Note that two Wii games are also rumored to have been canceled; an action game and an RPG.
With IP' s like Gradius, Pro Evolution, Metal Gear Solid, Dance Dance Revolution and Silent Hill, Konami is a developer Sony can' t afford to lose. Lets hope this is untrue or that there' s a good reason for it.
