Konami was an RPG Powerhouse on the PlayStation one

Konami has become something of a punchline in modern game development. They’re a pachinko company, they’re too busy with their health clubs, yadda yadda. They have still had modern hits, such as Metal Gear Solid V, and their soccer games, the PES series. But let’s be honest, the Konami of yesteryear is not the Konami we see today. Everytime someone mentions Silent Hill, people look wistfully at their PS4 still sporting their copy of P.T., grasping at conspiracy theory straws that Hideo Kojima is secretly the game development studio, Blue Box, and secretly working with Konami to make a new horror title. While that would be cool, and interesting in this internet leak and AR games-age, I would prefer to see Konami back as the company that cranked out quality RPG’s, I would love to see them be the company they were in the PS1 era.
