Move cannot do whips or other objects

Move is a versatile piece of kit, with titles lined up that turn the plastic into everything from a beam katana to a lasso, but it seems it has its limitations. Sony recently held a press conference in Japan to explain the controller in more depth, detailing its ability to portray pens, torches, nets and...

Konami's confirmed that vanilla PlayStation 3 users will get access to the latest Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 demo on September 15th

PlayStation Plus subscribers, however, will be good to go a week early. They'll get the demo next Wednesday. Aside: do you say "pezz" or "p-e-s"?

What's the one thing you've always wanted in Metal Gear Solid 4? Trophies, right

Yeah, us too. 3D support would just be the icing on the cake, right? Totally. Well it nearly happened. In fact, agonisingly Kojima's revealed that he "wanted" to release a "Complete" version of the title. Sadly, he just doesn't have the time. We know. “I wanted to make a ‘Complete Version’ with..

Punk's not dead

The original No More Heroes on Nintendo Wii was a highly original but equally flawed game that never really found its audience on the machine. Suda51's homage to punk, trashy TV and laser katana-wielding assassins fell foul of some of the Wii's limitations, but the forthcoming PlayStation 3 version of the game will combine the...

Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow Of The Colossus perhaps? It might lack originality - seems like Castlevania's going to work with the formula of a number of PlayStation greats - but it looks stunning all the same

There are more shots over at Kotaku.

They make a lot of SAW movies

We're told this year's movie is number seven in the series, but we reckon it's more in the region of 727. Either way, with a new SAW video game on the way it makes sense to tie things into the movie. Which is exactly what Konami are doing. They've announced that SAW II: Flesh & Blood will release on October 19th in the US. That's just a couple of weeks before the..

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is a different type of Metal Gear game

It replaces seasoned protagonist Snake with Raiden, and switches tranquilizers for samurai swords. When all's said and done though, it is still a Metal Gear game. And that means that the stealth elements will remain in tact. In fact, according to Rising's producer, you'll be able to play through the game without ever needing to kill..

Konami's dated their Dracula slaying foray into the God Of War genre, by whipping Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow with an October 5th and 7th release date for America and Europe respectively

Konami's added that the game will be presented with two DLC packs after release, both of which will further the game's narrative. Seems a bit dodgy to us, that. Still, Konami's touting that there's 20 hours of..

Konami's dated the latest entry in the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, scheduling PES 2011 for October 8th here in the UK

This year's being touted as the biggest yet for the PES franchise, as the game's been overtaken by FIFA in recent years. There are new pass placement mechanics which allow you to weight the ball, aswell as new AI routines, animations and online integration. “We have been..

We already know that DanceDanceRevolution PS3 will include support for Sony's motion controller, the PlayStation Move

But now we know to what extent. At its core, DDR PS3 is simply that: DanceDanceRevolution on the PlayStation 3. The game sports a track-list of 45 songs (25 from Konami's in-house artists, 20 from mainstream artists) which seems sort of stingey to us. Konami's promising plenty of..

Presumably peeved at having to share the headlines with Ken Levine, Hideo Kojima's teased some "big" news of his own on Twitter [cheers Andriasang] -- basically, he's got something to say this weekend

The Metal Gear man revealed on Twitter that despite being ill, he wants to rest up and recover in time for the weekend, and his "big" pre-TGS announcement. He was keen to clarify that said..

PlayStation Move is getting support quicker than a snowball rolling down an ice-capped mountain

Since the motion controller's announcement at GDC, announcements have come frequently and steadily. There's going to be no shortage of games to play with the glowing ball wands. The latest game to support Sony motion controller is the recently revealed DanceDanceRevolution game for PlayStation 3. Konami..

A mysterious image has popped up on Konami's Facebook page

The three-minute PhotoShop knock-up states, "You really wanted it, so we really listened!" There's an image of an old-school DanceDanceRevolution cover and a phat PlayStation 3, with a "+" sign between them. We're going to go out on a limb and guess what it all means: DanceDanceRevolution's coming to the PS3. The..

It's been a while since we last posted about the XBOX 360's space limitations

Last time, Capcom's Jun Takeuchi basically conceded that content had been cut from Lost Planet 2 (both XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3) to get the game on a DVD. It sucks, because those of us with PlayStation 3s are often suffering due to the 360's storage limitations. Ever played a game and wondered why the cut-scenes are so..

Konami's confirmed that Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow will hit the PlayStation 3 this coming October

That's actually not too far away folks. There's no exact date announced yet, but presumably that's coming during GamesCom. PS3Valut's also got hold of a shot of the game's boxart. We've embedded that above. It looks... Disappointing.

In an interview with Japanese website 4Gamer (picked up and kindly translated by AndriaSang), the CEO of publisher 5pb, Chiyomaru Shikura, revealed that his upcoming collaboration with Hideo Kojima could well be an adventure game

"Kojima said that he wanted to make an adventure game," Shikura explained, adding, "we're still at the level of 'let's lock ourselves away in the..

Hideo Kojima has revealed that he believes Japan are in a "losing" battle due to the recent boom of Western games development

The Metal Gear man said that he feels the younger generation of Japanese game developers have lost their motivation. He came to conclusion after watching a TV documentary about foreign exchange students who were passionate about the manga industry. “The game industry is..

E3's only just finished, GamesCom's on the horizon and then

.. Well, then there's TGS. A partial list of Tokyo Game Show exhibitors has been released, including plenty of familiar faces. SEGA, Square Enix, Capcom, Konami; they'll all be there. As will Sony. Over 138 companies are currently confirmed for the show, with that number certain to rise as the September show nears. Andriasang's got the..

A Nikkei interview (picked up by Andriasang) has revealed that Konami CEO, Fumiaki Tanaka, aims to sell about 3 million copies of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Given that the game's a PSP title (where basically everyone is a pirate), that's a pretty high number. But then, this is a Metal Gear game that bares a passing resemblance to Monster Hunter... It should do fine, right? Well, according to..
