Another E3, another chance for Metal Gear Solid to once again steal the show. The series has a knack for turning up big at the convention, like it did last year, but this year's trailer is going to be much "tougher" to watch than in years past, says director Hideo Kojima in a Twitter post. Kojima is still intent on turning his tonally schizophrenic series down the much more edgy path...
Square and Nintendo were not the only driving forces behind the success of the Game Boy. Third party support has always been the crutch of the video game world. It’s something that the winners can brag about having, and something that the losers can only sit back and dream about having. At the time, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Capcom and Konami were the most influential of...
Hold the phone and stop the presses! Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, and whatever else the kids are playing these days? All those can wait! Konami is possibly bringing one of the greatest video games of all time to the PlayStation Network in an unexpected move that diehard fans have been asking for since the PS1 Classic line-up first started. Editor’s note: Ron’s “best game ever,” not...
Remember that time in your life when you totally dedicated yourself to something for over a decade and brought it all kinds of glory and attention? Then one day, you suddenly find yourself out of style and are sidestepped for the latest trend. While others thrive on your success, you are put to work on hollow empty shells which barely scrape the heels of the masterpieces you've created...
Castlevania Producer Koji Igarashi has left Konami to found his own studio, leaving the future of his beloved series up in the air and adding another to the ranks of Japanese veteran developers departing for the indie scene. "I've decided to break out on my own to have the freedom to make the kind of games I really want to make—the same kind I think fans of my past games want as well...
If you are holding out for Metal Gear Solid's legendary super soldier, Solid Snake, to make an appearance in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS, then his creator, Hideo Kojima, might have some bad news for you. In an interview with Geoff Keighley on Konami's Twitch page, Kojima stated he did not think Solid Snake would be making a guest appearance again like he did in...
Can you imagine a world where Konami's Metal Gear Solid was not a massive hit? Director Hideo Kojima says that Konami believed this would be the case. In fact, the elements that gave it universal acclaim at release when it first launched in 1998 were all because of creative liberties Konami had granted him, thinking the game would go nowhere. And yet here we are in 2014, still figuring...
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is less than two weeks away. Even after the comparison videos and screenshots of the past month or so, each new set impresses me. This new batch of PlayStation 4 screenshots not only gives us more great looking views of the game in general, but also a look at Snake driving, the iDroid device he carries, and shots from the PlayStation exclusive bonus...
I don’t often agree with the words that come from Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima’s mouth, but when I do, I can’t agree with him enough. In an interview with GamesTM, Kojima explains that high-end gaming is losing base with a younger generation of video gamers and that the new consoles have yet to prove themselves to the masses fleeing towards mobile and indie games. Metal Gear...
A few weeks back, word got out regarding the length of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. The prequel was shown off, in full, to the folks at Game Informer in Japan. They reported that they were able to complete the main line of game in roughly two hours of play. Konami has always been clear about the fact that Ground Zeroes was pretty much a test-bed and training ground for the full...
