Titled "Book of Memories"

Konami just released an almost hour long video providing sneak peaks to much of its upcoming E3 content, featuring new info on games like NeverDead, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D for the Nintendo 3DS, and Silent Hill: Downpour. While discussing the Silent Hill franchise, they also dropped a quick mention of Silent Hill:...

Konami's released its launch trailer for Silent Hill: Downpour

The Vatra Games developed PlayStation 3 sequel is due for release in the Winter, which we're assuming means early next year. Some of the audio design in this trailer is great — Vatra seem to understand the psychological nature of the franchise. A prisoned protagonist certainly opens up plenty of potential for exploration. If Vatra can..

Just to underline the real lack of content at Konami's pre-E3 press conference, the publisher announced Silent Hill: Book Of Memories for NGP

"Fantastic," you might be saying, "Tell me more." Well, err, there's nothing more to tell. The announcement came with a big fat logo stating the game was not "concept approved" by Sony yet. It will be in due time, but we imagine..

Konami's clearly been taking a long, hard look at Sony's "Classics HD" line and the cash its been roping in for the platform holder

Eager to get a piece of the pie, Konami has announced three HD collections from the PS2 era: Metal Gear Solid, Zone Of The Enders and Silent Hill. The Metal Gear Solid Collection will feature Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and..

Co-operative vampire hunter reunion, Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair, is coming to the PlayStation 3 after a period of exclusivity on the XBOX 360

That's according to Siliconera, which cites "two different sources" for its story. The multiplayer spin-off commanded mixed reaction on the XBOX, settling with a reasonable (but hardly outstanding) Metacritic of 67. Expect this announcement at..

Ah Hideo Kojima

We like to imagine his life is just as complex and convoluted as a good Metal Gear Solid narrative. The video game visionary has posted an image on Twitter alongside a statement that he is recording for his new project. The image shows two monitors with an unclear figure on the screen. What does it all mean? We'll let someone else get to the bottom of that. Kojima followed up the..

Hideo Kojima has ruled out and confirmed a series of rumours in a quick-fire interview on the latest Kojima Productions podcast

The news, picked up by Andriasang, rules out the possibility of a Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement, while also discrediting rumours of an MGS4 port for NGP. In addition, Kojima used the quick-fire question round to confirm that he has "something big" planned for..

Kojima Productions has promised surprises as part of Konami's pre-E3 event next Thursday

Speaking in the studio's official podcast, host Sean Eyestone mentioned that company has "something special" to announce before the big event in L.A.. "We are going to have a few announcements at E3 and we have some surprises, so be looking forward to that,” he said. “And we have something..

Let's be honest, we all knew it was probably coming

A report on JVN overnight is suggesting that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be made available for PlayStation 3 via the recently announced PSP Remasters Series. Apparently the announcement will be made at E3, presumably kicking off a bumper evening of Sony and Kojima announcements. Presumably Peace Walker will get the same treatment as the..

Something fishy is afoot

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is all about series-punchbag-come-series-badass Raiden. But the character's voice actor doesn't know a thing about the game. “I am completely in the dark. I have no answers. I have no idea,” a flustered Quinton Flynn told TheGamingLiberty in an interview, explaining that he'd not been contacted by Konami nor Kojima Productions about the game. “I..

We sure that we're not the only people that adore rain in video games

The moment we hear the spattering of rain-drops, our eyes light up. We're not really sure why, but there's something wicked about games that take place in the rain, right? As you'd expect, Konami's upcoming Silent Hill: Downpour has a big emphasis on rain. As a celebration for reaching a Facebook follower milestone, the publisher..

Definitely not for kids

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise is coming to Europe next week, and Konami wants to get you better acquainted with series hero Travis Touchdown by publishing a new trailer. The new PS3 version has been awarded an 18 rating thanks to its inclusion of blood, as well as plenty of swearing and over-the-top violence, as is made...

As if there was any doubt that it wasn't going to happen, Konami has officially announced Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 this morning

The first footage (embedded above) is sandwiched between a little featurette with producer Shingo “Seabass” Takatsuka explaining what's been improved in this year's game. We'd love to get all technical about the changes, but some of them fly right over our head. It's..

Another adults-only Move title

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (known as No More Heroes: Red Zone in Japan) is bound to make waves when it comes to PlayStation 3 later this year, much like the original No More Heroes on Wii all those years ago. The trailer below, despite being in Japanese, should give you a pretty clear idea of what to expect from...

If the Internet's wishing for one thing, and it's for some kind of Hideo Kojima x PlayStation E3 gangbang

As well as expecting the announcement of a new NGP and PlayStation 3 Metal Gear project, forum goers are also anticipating some kind of PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. The discussion stems from a PSM3 magazine rumour which suggests "a major PlayStation franchise" is..

Konami's promoted legendary developer, Hideo Kojima, to the rank of corporate officer a press release has confirmed

The promotion makes Kojima one of the top bodies at the publisher, and rightly so. Kojima's been behind some of the best games throughout the PlayStation's lifespan, including the Metal Gear Solid and Zone Of The Enders titles. Kojima's currently rumoured to be working on an NGP title..

Having played the brilliant Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow as one of our Christmas catch-up games (yes, even we have those), we were rather looking forward to MercurySteam's continuation of the narrative with the previously announced "Reverie" DLC

Unfortunately the additional single-player content has been pushed back until March as per an announcement on the game's Facebook page. No word on whether..

.. Well, kudos to Konami for supporting their game we suppose. We'd forgotten Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots even had an online component, but here's a new patch for that very mode. The update's able to detect "fraudulent" connections which may slow the game down. Of course, the bigger question is whether anyone's actually still playing Metal Gear Online. Konami patch notes:..

Hideo Kojima, ever the tease, has started Tweeting about something he's deeming the "devil project"

We've absolutely no idea what it is, but we've included a series of messages from the Metal Gear mastermind for your convenience: “Have to give priority to another line’s scenario etc., so now I cannot work on ‘the devil project’ and ‘writing’.” “Worked on my ‘devil project’ a bit after..
