Death Stranding came out in 2019. Death Stranding 2 will come out in 2025. That's six years for two games. If these were the PS2 days Kojima would have cranked out 3 Death Stranding games by now and we'd be getting Death Stranding 3: Subsistence along with a teaser for Death Stranding 4 next year.

Remember when video game trilogies used be to a huge thing in the sixth and seventh generations? You'd typically get 3 games in about 5-7 years

See: Halo, Gears of War, Resistance, Killzone, etc

I almost do too. They've got a lot of my NES era favorites like Contra and Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear which is a series I hold very very deeply to my heart, I wouldn't br posting here if they didn't push me in a direction as an early teen. And then there's silent hill. Don't even get me started on castlevania. Konami owns a lot of my favorite vidya series

Ohhh! I had to play slur wheel of fortune there. As far as Konami goes, they should give me their properties cause I know what to do with all of em. Including not making any more metal gear games except one that I'll call MGS6: The Metal Gear and it will just be a disc containing a video of me reading an affidavit that metal gear ended with mgs3 and there was no 4 or 5 and peace walker is on thin fucking ice. Then it would show Hideo Kojima signing it at gunpoint (I'd use a prop gun), then I'd let him make whatever he wants and keep kojipro for himself and just kinda give him whatever he asks for. I'd be so busy making awesome 2d sidescrolling action games that cost like $5 and a new one is out every few weeks cause I've got modern day Konami just making snes level games. Really the only high budget thing would be Silent Hill and I'd hire fucking David Lynch to write it before emphysema gets him

Ninja Gaiden belongs to Tecmo Koei, not that they're doing much with it or Dead or Alive anymore
