And frankly, lack of women is probably a good thing. It is Team Ninja after all.
They also want them to know they need to fix Outriders.Fans are not happy with Squeenix. The trailers from today are getting a lot of dislikes on their YT channel.
A shame because I don't think the Life is Strange remaster deserves it.

I like Team Ninja women of Itagaki era. DoA 1-4, Ninja Gaiden 1-2, Xtreme Beach 1. Inspiring. I frankly miss it.[Laughs in Japan]

Must be tough for hardcore Konami fans. They don’t seem quite with it these days.Honestly, expecting anything out of Konami is a mistake.
Guess I fell for those reports about them licensing out their big IPs (Metal Gear, Silent Hill).Honestly, expecting anything out of Konami is a mistake.
Okay I'm done with the memes for now. Sadly got too much unintended entertainment from today's showing.
Microsoft showcase has been pretty good so far. I think Nintendo will coast along just fine, but Sony’s going to have to come back with something strong. (Like announcing Bloodborne Remaster and a new Silent Hill.)
I mean I love their giant IPs, but they take years to make. They need more first party supporting content in between that as third party exclusives will get more expensive and harder to secure if gamepass keeps growing at this rate.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the execs think that given that PS has been successful and had it easy every gen except for the PS3 where it had to fight back hard. The PS4 gen was handed to them on a platter and Nintendo has done well by doing things differently and not competing directly. Surely by now they can see with the Microsoft CEO repeatedly getting involved that things could be different this time and they should be reacting like they did during the PS3 era. Of course they still have many things in their favour as things stand but as the years roll by that will change unless they start thinking more about the future now.I tend to think that is one of Sony's long time achilles heels: they arrogantly assume that the third party developers *have* to come, and they *have* to develop first or only for Playstation. Which might be an accurate outcome, when your console is as successful as the PS2. That is a long, long time ago.
Konami being bought out by somebody else, or at least licensing or selling their properties to somebody else is all you can hope out of them now.
Forget friends and forget money, I don't have hundreds or a thousand hours to spend on one single game. A lot of these games don't have endings because they expect you to play them forever...and by forever I mean until they disable their servers.

They’d be fine if you were working for them! Unfortunately I’m not sure the current leadership is ready to act as needed and intent on focusing only on the short term and next few years. It’s good that they concentrate on making their top games the best at what they do, but that isn’t the whole ballgame when their rivals are bouncing back and trying new things.Thing is, even that is some very selective interpretation of events. For instance, ignoring the Switch as unimportant because Nintendo isn't chasing the graphics curve? Is why they are in the process of losing the assumed support of all the Japanese developers. Likewise, even with Microsoft and Nintendo both shooting themselves in the foot last gen, outside of Japan the competition with the XBone was not *that* absent.
Basically, Sony needs to take at least *one* of their rivals seriously, but they seem to justify away the idea that either of them are. . . even though the justifications are contradictory. Japan can't simultaneously be unimportant to their Western-focused future *and* the invulnerable homefront that protects them from assail by Microsoft.
