Great news, m'lord

New Little King’s Story is set to bow and curtsey onto North American Vitas this year, publisher Konami has announced. The game – which is based on the popular Nintendo Wii strategy title – will be released on the PlayStation Network as a download exclusive. The updated adventure features a slightly different art style, a...

Extra time

Konami has confirmed that it’s working on Pro Evolution Soccer for the PlayStation Vita, but cautioned that the game might not be ready in time to coincide with the release of the upcoming PES 2013. The Japanese publisher recently confirmed PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and, impressively, PlayStation 2 versions of the...

Terrifying

Want to know something scary? No, it doesn’t involve Pyramid Head – in fact, it’s much scarier. See, Konami has confirmed that the recently released Silent Hill HD Collection was ported from incomplete code. Yeah, that’s pretty messed up, isn’t it? Senior producer Tomm Hulett revealed in an interview with 1UP that the Japanese...

Lords of Shadow 2?

It’s probably not a coincidence that Konami’s launched a new splash page featuring distinctly Castlevania: Lords of Shadow artwork just days after rumours about its sequel emerged. The website – which shows little more than a door – teases that the “Dragon Returns” on 31st May. That just so happens to be the same day...

You know how it goes

We'd almost forgotten about Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but we'll never forget the Konami Code. Combine the two and you have a small morsel of a pre-E3 teaser video. Head to the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance site, type out the Konami Code in the command box and press enter to unlock a video of the demo's title screen. We...

Stake news

The original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow gave Sony’s monstrous God of War franchise a run for its money at times, so a sequel always seemed like a no-brainer. And that’s exactly what the Paul Gale Network is reporting this morning. The source – who correctly outed

Staging an assault

Konami has confirmed that the PlayStation Vita version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will touch North American systems on the 12th June. The handheld release features high definition makeovers of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It boasts added touch controls, trophy support and full...

Closed book

WayForward’s strange isometric Vita title Silent Hill: Book of Memories has been delayed again until 31st October, according to a placeholder listing on Amazon.com. The multiplayer game was originally due for release on 31st May after being pushed outside of the Vita’s launch window earlier in the year. In typical Konami tradition,...

Hmm

Konami’s back with another baffling Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance live action teaser. This time the footage plays out from the perspective of protagonist Raiden’s, erm, eye. We wished we could glean some meaningful information out of the video, but it just looks like 60 seconds of bad acting to us. Feel free to share some more meaningful...

In the shadows

Following on from last night’s rough release date announcement, Konami has launched the first trailer for the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on Vita. The trailer gives you a good look at all of the game’s primary features, included its newly implemented touch controls and Transfarring functionality. Is this re-release on your...

Snaaake!

Konami is allowing a whole new generation of gamers to get worked up over Metal Gear Solid 2’s infamous Raiden bait-and-switch this June, when the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection launches on PlayStation Vita. The portable version of the compilation will include a remastered user interface and Transfarring functionality, allowing you to...

Portable chops

The questionably titled Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance could be slashing its way onto Vita if a corporate presentation slide is to be believed. The Platinum Games developed action title was spotted amongst a list of other upcoming Vita titles on a slide used during the AT&T Developer Summit earlier in the year. The slide shows the...

Raining ones and zeros

It’s not often we get to report on simultaneous patch announcements for two different titles, so we’re going to savour this moment. Konami has announced that it will shortly release new updates for Silent Hill: Downpour and Silent Hill HD Collection with the intent of fixing audio synch and auto save issues present in the...

Snake it right

This live-action Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer has it all: blood, intrigue and injections. The teaser appears to show a man in military uniform being questioned and subsequently killed. Pretty brutally, we hasten to add. It concludes with the date 30th April. While our attention has certainly been piqued, this is far from a...

No Vita version

We’ll get to dissecting Pro Evolution Soccer 2013’s actual announcement in a moment, but first let’s deal with the gigantic elephant in the room. Despite launching on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2, there will not be a Vita version of PES 2013. We suppose that could change as the game’s autumn release...

Haven't you grown?

Corobo, you're not a young boy any more. New Little King's Story comes to Vita later this year and it's not its heroic king that's all grown up: his wives have all matured too, as these screenshots from the game's so-called "sexy events" show. Princess Fearne in particular seems to have attracted the advances of a new...

Turn the pages this summer

Konami’s curious attempt for a hat-trick of Silent Hill releases appears to have ended with a disappointing brace. The Japanese publisher had originally intended to release Silent Hill Downpour, the Silent Hill HD Collection and the isometric Vita exclusive Silent Hill: Book of Memories all in March – but US retailers...

Bring your umbrella

Good news for convict Murphy Pendleton: during a prison transfer, an accident opens up an avenue towards all the freedom of a fugitive lifestyle. Bad news: he's crashed right up near the notorious town of Silent Hill, and the weather isn't looking too rosy. Silent Hill: Downpour is now available in North America on PlayStation 3...

Cutting its teeth

Way back in 2008, a group of employees from Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios departed to form a new company called Armature. Despite being in business for over four years, the company has yet to actually ship a product. That will change this summer, though, when the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection releases on PlayStation Vita...
