Man, how long has it been since Metal Gear Solid 4 was released? I think it was in 2008. That's six years ago, and an entire generation or two little humans have already become self-aware in that time span! Not to mention millions of teens can now legitimately pick up the game without their mom's help. Better time than ever to put this modern-classic back into the fold. Metal Gear...
These weekly publisher themed sales on PlayStation Network are really starting to become quite a routine. Two weeks ago saw a Capcom and Square Enix sale, and last week I believe Atlus threw its wares up for its seventy-second sale of 2014. This week, Konami jumps in on the fun by hosting a "Best of Konami Sale" on the PlayStation Network. Needless to say, the "Best of Konami" can...
While Castlevania fans are rightfully nervous about the future of the long running action series, they can at least take comfort in knowing that Nintendo is doing what it can to make its past more accessible. A duo of classics from the series is bound for the Wii U Virtual Console in October, just in time for Halloween to boot. October 2nd will see the release of Castlevania: Dracula X...
Big Boss’ private military group isn’t known as the Diamond Dogs just because Director Hideo Kojima has seen one too many cliche action movies from the 1980s. There is a reason to it in the new gameplay elements revealed this past weekend at Tokyo Game Show 2014. The mysterious lady assassin Quiet isn’t the only back-up Big Boss is going to be able to bring along on missions, because he...
Metal Gear Solid is the only franchise out there that is allowed to have a teaser for a trailer. The hype for these games is almost as convoluted as the main plot itself, and anybody else who tries to follow the same path is just asking for trouble through comparisons. Konami has promised a new trailer at Tokyo Game Show 2014 for the incoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and...
Konami has joined the ranks of Japanese publishers announcing their Tokyo Game Show 2014 line-ups. The company has been relatively quiet lately on the console front except, of course, for what is probably the absolute biggest Japanese game on next gen consoles. Can you guess what it is? See the line-up below and see if you recognize anything. Console Games Jikkyou Powerful Pro...
Konami is joining with the rest of the modern world by deciding that maybe console exclusivity is not the way to go. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain have both been confirmed for release on the PC through Steam. Series creator Hideo Kojima made the announcement during Metal Gear Solid V's presentation at Gamescom 2014 shortly after Konami's European site leaked...
In its financial earnings call for the quarter, Konami revealed its sales figures for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. As expected, the game found a much larger attachment rate among its traditional PlayStation fanbase than it did with the Xbox One's. Roughly three times as many people bought the PlayStation 4 version of the game as the Xbox One, showing that the series still has a...
Well, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima promised a trailer that would be difficult to watch, so here is Big Boss with his face totally drenched in blood. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is promising to bring a whole new dark tone to the series, which has always had some dark themes of government conspiracies, but with more of a fun action movie vibe. Not five seconds into this...
In a startling move, Konami has given the thumbs up to a band of fans calling themselves The Outer Heaven team who have set out to remake the original MSX2 classic stealth game, Metal Gear, from the ground up to modern standards. Typically, most large publishers would squash a project like this in its tracks, but Konami has taken an unprecedented step in fully backing the dreams of...
