METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN / 3 AUG 2015
NEW ARTICLE ABOUT KONAMI SUGGESTS GRIM SITUATION AT COMPANY

728 Employee morale at all-time low.

BY LUKE KARMALIAn article in Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei paints a grim picture of the situation at Konami, suggesting employee morale is at an all-time low.

The article itself is in Japanese and behind a pay wall, but freelance localiser Thomas James has translated the salient information into a summary that's unlikely to prove happy reading for fans of the company

The article claims Konami spent more than $80 million on the development of Metal Gear Solid V. While it's unclear whether the ballooning budget was a factor in the highly-publicised fallout between series creator Hideo Kojima and Konami, CEO of a Tokyo-based game industry consultancy Serkan Toto has claimed Kojima's fall from grace occurred because MGS V was delayed.

The piece also alleges problems at Konami extend far further than just those being seen by the public thanks to Kojima's visibility. Issues apparently started back in 2010 following the success of mobile game Dragon Collection - it was then the company started to see low-cost high-profit titles as a desirable area for focus, especially when contrasted with expensive console games.

With this in mind, it shouldn't surprise anyone to hear development on titles in the Love Plus and Suikoden franchises have both been halted, with the creator of the former having also left the company.



The culture at the company is also explored, with cameras apparently placed in the corridors to monitor employee movements, while time cards are used to monitor how long everyone is taking for lunch, with those deemed to be taking too long being named and shamed throughout the company.

Most Konami employees aren't given their own email addresses. While sales and PR staff who have to communicate with outsiders do have permanent addresses, many others have one that is routinely randomised every few months.

Any members of staff "deemed useless" are apparently reassigned to other jobs, including assembly line work at Konami's pachi-slot machine factory, working as security guards and even cleaning up at company fitness clubs. Those affected allegedly include more than just junior staff, with senior producers hit in some instances. This is supported by a 2013 interview by Asahi News in which a former Konami employee was shunted from game development to working in a pachi-slot factory, causing him to suffer severe depression.



In another instance, one employee announced on Facebook he was leaving the company for a new job. This post was then monitored by senior company officials, with any other employees who "Liked" the status reshuffled within the organisation.

Nikkei has attempted to reach out to Konami founder Kagemasa Kozuki for comment without success.

Konami recently announced it was planning to focus on mobile games in future, though this has apparently been somewhat misreported. The company has previously reiterated its commitment to creating new titles in the Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hills franchises going forward, while entries in the yearly Pro Evolution Soccer series aren't likely to disappear overnight.

I beat Zelda and stopped playing it. I was gonna trade in Smash but her cousin took that when he borrowed it. I didn't see myself getting into Smash much on the handheld. i copped the insurance from BB so Imma break it in like a year and get the giftcard for the value and cop something else LMAO

The Ninja Blender broke and they just gave us a gift card no hassle and I copped a newer one and had money left over.

The games in the Rare Replay collection, are they enhanced visually? I didn't think they were, hence why I had no interest but the hype I've been seeing is making me think they are more than straight ports.

no enhancements from what I remember from E3. they do have a rewind feature for those tough levels that they added though.

 

[stick]

Rare Replay will be copped. Thought it was $60 but it's only $30. Will Perfect Dark multiplayer be playable online? Even if it isn't, the Banjo Kazooies and Bad Fur Day will keep me busy enough .

Ok I can't get a lot of info here while I'm in this school so I wasn't sure. The last trailer I saw didn't show any gameplay.

I'm glad to see Gears 2 and 3 being added to BC with copies of Gears: UE. Hopefully they still remaster Gears 2 later down the line. Is this only offered to people who purchase Gears: UE?

 

[shottadru]

From the demo video on Xbox Rare games don't seem enhanced, striaght ports.

I wonder if they left in some of the Nintendo Easter eggs in those games,

m$ has a marketing deal with DS3. Not to mention in the BC promo you can see the DS1 and DS2 boxart.

I think it's likely m$ talked to From Software about bundling past souls games with DS3.
