Kojima Productions To Have No Hand In 'Mirror Of Fate' Or Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2

TGH Writes: "We spoke to David Cox, Head of Development at Konami Europe and Producer of the Lords Of Shadow series of titles and were wondering that since Kojima Productions had an albeit small hand in the production of the first Lord Of Shadows title if they would continue the relationship in the upcoming titles."

the last one wasn't messed up so why would this?

loved LOS.

rdgneoz34312d ago

Probably because Kojima did give them some advice / input on the first LOS while it was in production. And as the article says, he won't be the 2nd time around.

LightofDarkness4312d ago (Edited 4312d ago )

They had very little to do with the first one, so meh. As far as I know, Kojima advised a bit of redesigning on Gabriel and they handled the Japanese localization.

IcyEyes4312d ago

People think behind Castlevania LoS there is a lot of Kojima (production) works.
Sorry, it's mainly a works from Mercury Steam and they are Spanish.

Summons754312d ago

Wait...so are they using a different engine because from my understanding that was the only part KP had in the first LOS.

LightofDarkness4312d ago

Nope, MercuryEngine was developed in-house by MercurySteam, no KP involved really. They've recently built a new engine from the ground up for the 3DS game too, so they're more than competent in that regard, I'd say.

Ramas4312d ago

first one sucked a lot anyway, not enjoyed at all. probablt second one suck even more.

pipipi4312d ago

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

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

Well it has to be better than the first game

What? I was replying to The3faces

mkis00780d ago

It won the majority of goty awards in 2019...

mkis00780d ago

I mean you can disagree with the Earth being round...

F0XH0UND92280d ago

You mean the game that won a bunch of awards and has an 83 on opencritic?

EvertonFC80d ago

83 is good, not sure what you are getting at.
You must miss loads of great games.

jimb0j0nes80d ago

Kojima definitely assembling the Metal Gear Solid avengers for Physint

1nsomniac80d ago

Is this really anything to get excited about? MGS5 was an absolute cluster f...

DarXyde80d ago

Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?

Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.

Samonuske80d ago

And regardless of its issues, it still had arguably the best gameplay in the series.

mkis00780d ago

The gameplay was amazing, coming from one who didn't play any of them until 4

Yui_Suzumiya80d ago

MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.

mkis00780d ago

Well 4 is technically the last in sequence right?

Chocoburger80d ago

@mkis007

Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.

CDbiggen80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.
