The right to MGS is owned by Konami thus it's a Konami game. Although it was directed by Kojima, top brass pulled quite a bit of content from the game and caused quite a bit of trouble with Kojima and Konami. Legally nobody is allowed to say anything of the situation or the pulled content.konami deserves to die for that , mgsv was a HIDEO KOJIMA game , not a konami game . so let`s clear that up right now.
Well, that's no kinds of kosher. Yeah, a C&D is actually proper justice for this case, it just happened to be enforced by Satan. Profiting from another's intellectual property shouldn't be allowed if we want a society where creative licences mean anything.yup , forgot to mention that
Wait, this was kickstarted?
Yep, here is my proof
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/103682474/castlevania-1-remake
And the developer was shady as fuck too, he talked about raising 70.000 USD just to actually buy the licensee necessary to "own" the game or at least a permit to actually develop that game, but again, who in their right mind would think about making a kickstarter for an actual licensee?
The developer was just inexperienced, clueless, naive and at the end of the day, he didn't capitalize his focus on the game, this was, I repeat, the inevitable
Hey idiot...how about making a non-franchise game, then? Yeah, it'll get you less funding (a whole freaking DOZEN less funders), but if you make a decent clone/lookalike it'll find its audience.the other challenge is working out all the legal stuff.
i prefer to fill my brain with how to make games, not how to do business,
so i'll probably get someone else to help me out on that.
well you can't do whatever you want even if konami are dicksObviously Konami hates their games fans. They seem to like ruining the games they publish and send C&D to fans who try to fix it.
After killing off Silent Hills Konami is dead to me. Whatever they do now is no interest to me unless the do a Silent Hill Remaster.Maybe fans wouldn't have to make these games if Konami would actually give us some fucking games!
Capcom hired the guys that were doing the re2 remake to help with the official.Nah, totally expected, the guy was Kickstarting a project based on an actual licensee existence, it was only a matter of time until Konami noticed that, and C&D up his ass.
If you're gonna make a fan game, do it indiscreetly, specially if it is from a company like Konami. You can't just say "Hey dudez, lol, imma making mah castlovonia remake on kuckstartah! i hope i can get universah following on thas"
Because if you do, well, it is evident, there may be some companies like Capcom that are very lenient when it comes to their properties, heck, even one of their "official" games is essentially a fan game, but one thing is Capcom, and another thing is Konami, and you know who is the stricter between those two at the end of the day.
unless the do a Silent Hill Remaster.
That was a remake/reimagining. Remaster is the same game with a visual overhaul and other fixes.Already did, and was trash.
