General thread for gaming news that doesn't deserve its own thread.

Konami is still around. Look at Contra Rogue Corps

I think the Pachinko business must be drying up or something, that or that legislation they were talking about.
Probably both, not to mention the Big Sick being a thing.
Either way, something must be up over at Konami the last year or 2.


Unrelated
Warwind, Ascendant, and Delores a mini adventure are currently all free on GOG.

Ok, so the announcement is some weird cloud gaming (That they are calling Fog Gaming.) for Arcade machines.
Something that almost certainly will not be relevant outside Asia, if it's even relevant outside Japan.

Sega is so bizarrely out of touch it's not even funny.
Heck Konami just had an indie game they are publishing or something that actually looks alright, THAT was somehow more interesting and exciting than the Game Gear for Ants or their bizarre Arcade Cloud Gaming.

Freaking KONAMI outdid them today, all they had to do was announce a Saturn and/or Dreamcast mini or something, how do you screw up that much?

The Fog gaming is actually a really interesting concept for how to utilize the arcade hardware during downtimes. Basically by turning them into mini-datacenters you can still make money on them even if no one is playing. My only concern is that they have a decent balance for priority. I'd hate to pay 500 yen on a game and have it running like crap because it's too busy streaming Niconico videos or something.

I imagine the only truly interested parties are the arcade owners.

Holy crap, did Atlus actually learn a lesson?

[Lord of Pirates]

They've milked the game to death on every other platform and are looking for more easy money.

I don't see why PC gamers would care. If they wanted to play Persona 4, they've been able to for many many years.

You underestimate the stubbornness of the Pc MaStEr RaCe.

SEGA made a killing on some of its console games that got ported to PC. People were also mindblown when Valkyria was ported. They also released things like Yakuza 0, Catherine, Bayonetta, and numerous Dreamcast games like Shemnue and JSR.

This isn't Atlus. It's SEGA, as they have been publishing all of Atlus since 2016.
