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

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..

Perhaps if we make enough noise that we want Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair on the PlayStation Network, Konami will listen

The XBOX Live Arcade platformer does appear to be being teased for the PSN. Konami's Koji Igarashi told Destructoid at E3 last week that, while his priority is the XBLA version, there might be the possibility of bringing the game to the PSN. If you want it, yell.

Somewhere amongst the E3 hustle and bustle, we managed to skip on posting one of the things we're most excited for: the new Silent Hill game

Despite not having a full title yet, this lengthy trailer for the tentatively named Silent Hill 8 goes pretty in-depth into the latest Silent Hill's psyche. The game appears to revolve around a group of prisoners who end up in the ever so pleasant town of..

Either Kojima's trying to pull a David Jaffe, or there really is no "face melting" PlayStation 3 in the works

We're hoping for the former, but we're not holding our breath. According to the productions boss on the Metal Gear franchise, Kenichiro Imaizumi, suggestions of a big PlayStation 3 reveal from Kojima are purely rumour and speculation. The man wrote on Twitter: “‘I say it is just a rumour..

Kojima was at E3 this week talking Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Nintendo 3DS

It was sad not to see him on the Sony stage this year, but according to a "senior US publishing source", there was a reason. Because Kojima's got a "massive PS3 exclusive" to unveil at the Tokyo Game Show later in the year. The report notes that the exclusive is so face-melting it will "own the..

One thing we've been literally screaming for is PlayStation Move support for Kojima Productions' upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Konami's confirmed that Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow will launch on the PlayStation 3 this Fall

The game's in development over at Mercury Steam, but is being overlooked by Hideo Kojima and his crew at Kojima Productions. (It kinda looks a lot like God Of War.) We've embedded some footage after the jump.

Deep down we were expecting some kind of Zone Of The Enders announcement at E3

Kojima had been talking about the franchise for a while, and it just felt like the right time to announce it. Sadly, in the absence of an announcement, it sounds like the game's been pushed back. “Regarding ZOE3, there’s been various things, so it’s been sort of pushed to the back,” he said in a UStream video..

Kojima Productions' website has just updated, featuring Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow and

.. a mysterious question-mark. Kojima formally revealed the first trailer of Metal Gear Solid: Rising during Microsoft's press conference last night and it looked incredible. Alas, it appears the show is far from over for Kojima-san, who will probably have one reveal left in him. While..

Despite Hideo Kojima's flitting and awkward appearance at Microsoft's press conference this evening - the game he was there to demo looked sensation

Metal Gear Solid: Rising - a new awakening for the Metal Gear franchise - has protagonist Raiden chopping up all manner of enemies in this sensational debut trailer for the game. Next Kojima, stick with the PlayStation fans. That's where you belong.

You've already seen dozens and dozens of moving images with people cutting things

Hideo Kojima's countdown website has updated however, this time with kanji symbols in the background. </em>What could it mean? We've not the foggiest. The countdown points to Sony's E3 press conference though. Just sayin'.

Remember we told you about Konami and Arc-System Works' Hard Corps: Uprising last week? Well now, courtesy of GameVideos, we've got some gameplay footage of the title

We described it last week as Contra in everything but name — we think the footage after the jump proves as much. <object id="flashObj" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="468"..

Not one to break tradition, Hideo Kojima's launched a teaser site involving people - erm - chopping things

What could it mean? Are Kojima Productions about to announce a cooking game? Or, more likely, is this a teaser for all the hacking and slashing that's due to take place in Metal Gear Solid: Rising? Who knows? It's Kojima. And to be honest, we're getting bored of these countdown websites. If..
