QUICK

SHOW OF HANDS

WHO'S SURPRISED

[VladCT]

So, that which was prophesied almost a year ago has come to pass...

...I'mma go and microwave the popcorn.

Meh
Kinda lost all hope for Konami at this point.  This is just a mildly amusing anecdote in their new venture.

Snake lived a hard life....

Look at this crap.

I've lost count how many Metal Gear fans I tried to sway over to the Castlevania side when it was being turned into a pachinko. The response? "Nobody gives a shit for Castlevania." I told them Metal Gear was next on the line, and heard that Metal Gear was untouchable and Konami would never do this to Metal Gear.

On one hand this is incredibly sad. To see Konami rape their long-standing IPs like this. On the other, I'm really spiteful at the Metal Gear fanbase. We and the Silent Hill fanbase cried for help and they turned their eyes away because MUH METAL GEAR. Now there's nobody to cry for help to.

If only they would assure us that Castlevania and Metal Gear will see quality console releases again, none of this would matter. We would only being seeing these as novelties that they are.

But instead, the impression is that these are the only forms of our beloved series' konami is willing to provide.

Well... Good thing that some of the fans won't stand for this shit. We'll stand up and make a better future for Castlevania ourselves.

Hopefully the same can be done for Metal Gear.

Hopefully the same can be done for Metal Gear.

If I remember, some people tried to do remakes of MG1 and MGS1 and both got cease and desist orders from Lovely Konami.

You're absolutely right.

One even had support from Konami and David Hayter on board. Even after that Konami decided to pull the plug on it before release.

All of their hard work went to waste...

Total douche bag move by Konami and also a lost opportunity.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I'm just surprised this forum hasn't gotten a cease and desist order from Konami at this point simply for existing.

I mean, they clearly hate their fans so that just seems like the logical next step.

Probably waiting to scoop up all the Umbra content once it's finally completed and make the Demon Castle Wars pachislot. 

[X]

There gonna wait for Umbra to reach that pinnacle of near-completion before dropping the all-too-evident axe(armor) on us.

[Dracula9]

Honestly if that ever happened I'd like to see it unfold--since there's no actual game and it's never been stated to be confirmed as a game, it's little more than fanfiction with some artistic assets (fanart and fandubs, respectively) made for it.

I'd love to see that one try and happen, since it would basically have to turn into a case of "well you're gonna have to go after every other piece of Castlevania fanart, fandub, fanmusic, and fanfiction out there for this to fly."

Holding the IP and copyright doesn't make one invincible to legal discourse, after all.

[Belmontoya]

Without umbra being released as a game or as one whole piece of media there really isn't anything for them to go after. Pictures, stories, and audio clips released part by part on a forum isn't really something they can aim at.

Like Dracula9 said, they'd have to go after every bit of fan art and fan fiction ever made at that point.

It's safe to say that project is in the clear.

[Claimh Solais]

This is all a nightmare. Any second the Sorrow is gonna annihilate us and we can take the Revival Pill.

Any second now.

...

...

...Any second.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I meant the forum itself guys, not just any single project being talked about here.
Or maybe they DID send a C&D but they sent it to Kurt who is unable to comply because he was clearly abducted by Space Aliens.
