Konami E3 2012 Company Spotlight

Konami is opting for a pre-recorded press conference for the second year in a row, but that doesn’t mean the publisher isn’t bringing heat to E3. With powerhouse franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania, you can expect the Japanese giant to come out swinging. Here are some things to watch out for this year from the house that Frogger and Simon Belmont built.

Hey, I thought Lords of Shadow was great. YES, it's a lot like God of War 3. THAT GAME IS GOOD TOO.

Myst4351d ago

Heard good things about it I should pick it up sometime or swipe it from my sister as I think she may have it :3

DanCrabtree4351d ago

DO EET. FIGHT WEREWOLVES ON HORSEBACK.

dark-hollow4351d ago

konami: and now we present to you, the sequel to caslteviania lords of sha[WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE].............. CASTLEVANIA V!

2-D linear action based like the good old times!

italianbreadman4351d ago

Yeah, Lords of Shadow was pretty rad. it did some things in terms of play mechanics that others have yet to try. All work very well.

DragonKnight4351d ago

No Suikoden VI means meh for me.

italianbreadman4351d ago

Hey! It's still a possibility! Maybe they will surprise us all!

Kyosuke_Sanada4351d ago

Would love for a Coded Arms title to hit the Vita....

guitarded774351d ago

I figured they would do the pre-recorded thing again. It's a safe move for Konami since they've had some of the more embarrassing moments at E3 in the past. Can't wait to check it out.

DivineAssault 4351d ago

i absolutely love castlevania! 2d the most but LOD was great.. thats why i bought a 3ds, ds, gba... i just hope these mercury steam guys make the 2d version good...

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218319d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia18d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken77d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook7104d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop104d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

In 2016 fans used unreal engine up until the raven fight it was a full hd remaster square shut it down took everything so why not use there work.
