Let's face it: water is fun

There's nothing more relaxing than watching rain-drops hit a car window and meander down the glass. Konami's upcoming PlayStation Network puzzle-title, Puddle, hopes to replicate the enjoyment of water in digital form. The downloadable title's set to make a splash on January 25th in Europe and January 31st in North America. Puddle involves tilting the environment to..

Making a splash

Konami's Puddle finally comes to the PlayStation Store next week. The wet puzzler lands in Europe on Wednesday for an as-yet unspecified price. It supports PlayStation Move or traditional DualShock controllers. Konami makes a splash with Puddle on XBLA® and PlayStation®Network Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH today confirmed the...

As expected, Hideo Kojima has revealed that Platinum Games' upcoming Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be playable at E3 in June

The luminary revealed the tid-bit in a roundtable featured in Famitsu magazine. He was joined by Platinum Games' CEO Tatsuya Minami and producer Atsushi Inaba. The interview touched upon how the collaborative process between Platinum Games and Kojima Productions was..

It may seem like an eternity since we last got to play a Silent Hill title, but at least March should make up for the drought

Konami's announced that three titles in the survival horror series will release during the month, with the Silent Hill HD Collection first out of the blocks on March 6th. It'll be followed by new entry Silent Hill: Downpour on March 13th, with PlayStation Vita exclusive..

Will we ever get to experience the twisted narrative of Silent Hill 2 again? It feels like everytime we get a taste for the Silent Hill HD Collection's impending release, Konami shoves it out of sight

The compilation — which collates HD versions of both Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 — was scheduled to release on January 24th, after the game previously missed its November release date. Now..

One of the saddest thing to emerge this generation has been the decline in diversity

With development budgets spiralling, pushed publishers are stuck to working with what they know in order to avoid facing commercial disaster. That's meant that outside of the emerging download platforms, there's been very little experimentation in the retail space. We can point to a handful of imaginative titles..

Hideo Kojima's next game -- the mysterious Project Ogre -- will be an open world title according to the creator himself

In a candid chat with CNN, the Kojima Productions boss revealed that he's eager to “make something very free" after spending years on the cinematic Metal Gear Solid series. “The kind of game I’m making is some game that has a very wide entrance, a very open entrance,” he..

Hideo Kojima's being Hideo Kojima again

The cryptic gaming visionary has casually dropped a couple of screenshots showing off the developer's new Fox Engine — one of which is apparently from a prototype of his upcoming game, Project Ogre. The first image shows a crouching soldier, while the second focuses on a couple of ladies. We're hoping Project Ogre pertains to the second image rather than..

For as long as there have been video games, fans have demanded Zone Of The Enders 3

Alright, so maybe it's not quite that extreme, but few would deny that the next entry in Hideo Kojima's mech combat series is not heavily anticipated. Sadly, Kojima has admitted that his studio just doesn't have the resources to produce the game right now. But the designer has teased that the company's new Fox..

If you're willing to ignore The Last Of Us, the reannouncement of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was easily the biggest story at this year's VGAs

The challenged title was first announced back in 2009, before heading into hiding for a good couple of years. That's because staff at Kojima Productions lost sight of the project, and the game was promptly (and secretly) cancelled. But the game was..

Phew, talk about quiet Saturday evenings

A brand new trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Rising has leaked online ahead of its expected debut during the VGAs. You could say, Metal Gear's back with a vengeance — or revengeance, huh? That's right, the ripper (Raiden) is back in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The game's being developed by Platinum Games in association with Kojima Productions. Are you..

Who said PlayStation Vita can't compete with the glut of $1 iPhone applications? Konami's confirmed that it will release a free game to coincide with the new handheld's Japanese launch

The wordy AR Combat Digi Q: Friend Tank Battalion, will release for free on the PlayStation Store, providing players with five stages of the augmented reality battle tank sim. Players will then be able to stump up..

Believe it or not, Konami was planning a revival of the Silent Scope series

FEAR 3 developer Day 1 Studios was signed up to handle development duties, but when the publishing deal fell through, the company was forced to lay-off a whopping 95 percent of the team involved with the project. There hasn't been a Silent Scope game since 2002's internally developed PlayStation 2 effort. That was nearly..

We're going to be honest, we don't know a whole lot about Konami's NeverDead

We know it's being developed by British-based studio Rebellion. And we know that the game's protagonist is immortal, able to lose limbs during combat and then pick them up at a later date. But that's about the extent of our knowledge. Perhaps that's all Konami wants us to know because, to be honest, that does sound pretty..

Konami has confirmed that New Little King's Story will launch on PlayStation Vita in the West next year

Developed by Marvelous Entertainment, the cutesy RPG is a sequel to popular Nintendo Wii title Little King's Story, and sees players assume the role of King Corobo. Corobo's faced with the unfortunate task of saving his kingdom from the Nightmare, and players must use the PS Vita's various input..

Rejoice!

In a week of fantastic Vita news, here's the cherry on top. Konami has confirmed it's bringing New Little King's Story to Europe in 2012. We have new screenshots below. Let the good times commence.

With Metal Gear Solid: Rising set to gets its big coming out party at next month's VGAs, series creator Hideo Kojima has told Official PlayStation Magazine that series veterans might not initially fall in love with the game's new direction

“If somebody thinks ‘I love Snake’ and just really wants traditional stealth gameplay and that experience, then it may be hard to get into Rising,” he told..

Following a strong backlash, Konami has announced that its high-definition re-release of Silent Hill 2 will feature an option to revert the game's voice acting back to its original form

Due to "technical and logistical reasons", that same feature won't be applied to Silent Hill 3. Both games are set to release as part of the Silent Hill HD Collection next year on PlayStation 3.

Hideo Kojima has hinted that there will grudgingly be a Metal Gear Solid 5

Speaking as part of the magazine's upcoming cover feature, the industry legend said: "I think we’ll probably have to make it at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea." But in trademark style, Kojima played down his involvement with the hypothetical project: “As far as my involvement in the project is..
