I think I heard a piece of my childhood cry
Bad news everyone — due to the recentZone of the Enders HDpatch, it seems as if all production on the nextZone of the Endersgame has halted, astheentire teamhas been dismantledas he “re-evaluates” the franchise — whether this has to do strictly with performance issues or sales (or both) wasn’t revealed. Kojima and his team allegedly reprogrammed the entire game to get it to work, and is offering up a PS3-only patch for the time being.
Seeing as Kojima took personal responsibility for the performance issues, this is pretty much theoppositeof what happened withthe shamefulSilent Hill HDscrew-upthat Konami also was responsible for. Unlike theSilent Hill HDfiasco, it’s nice to see Kojima address his fans beyond the veil of PR, even if a 360 patch isn’t planned (and in this case, I can confirm thatZOE HDon the 360 isn’tnearlyas bad asSilent Hill HDwas). Whatever the case may be though, Konami really needs to get their act together if they want to remain competitive.
I have a suggestion on what to do with the franchise, Kojima. Just give it toPlatinum Games— they’ll know what to do with it. Better yet, why not just convince Konami to buy Platinum Games and oversee it? I think you guys would get along great.
