GamingBolt: "Just like every year for the past decade or so, we’re going to get two really good football simulator games this year, from the FIFA series and the Pro Evolution Soccer- or PES for short- series. Both, FIFA 12 and PES 2012 look great, and both will be releasing with a host of great new features and some really neat tweaks and innovations. The big question, as always, is- which one should you buy? Should you go with the currently better established FIFA series, or with PES, which seems to be getting better with each game?
In this feature, we have listed 5 reasons for each game about why you should buy it over the other one. So we hope you enjoy the list, and that it helps you make up your mind."
Konami announced its financial results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April and December 2024.

Although I still hold a little grudge towards them not just because of their treatment of Kojima, but also the demise of Pro Evolution Soccer, I am happy Silent Hill performed so well.
Looking forward to Snake Eater Delta, although I am still not so sure if I'll buy it.
So glad they are back in the game!
Regarding kojima story no one will ever know the true fact.
The guy cannot be that easy to handle for sure.
Personally, I seriously believe that Kojima's actually the type of person you'd consider to be too good-natured - often to his disadvantage.
They need to bring back Castlevania , man how cool it would be to play in a full 3d castle on a scale of what SotN had , something with secrets, loops and items to find in every area .
Yep! The Metroid Prime series showed that the Metroidvania style progression CAN work in 3D, it's just that Castlevania never hit the notes quite as right as Metroid Prime did. Souls games have integrated that Metroidvania-style progression also really nicely and shows what a Castlevania game could possibly look like in a well laid out, 3D world!
I've always thought souls games are the closest we'll get to it but they don't have the integrated traversal with things like relics ( Double/long jumps, Transformations, Holy Symbol... ect ) that I really wanna see . Basically souls you'd just just find a switch, key, ladder or drop to a lower platform for 90% of the exploration but it's nothing like metroidvanias where you get to see your character progress as the tool to open the game further. I'm still hoping though ... even after 25+ years
@Miraak82 Very true. Progression has never been item or ability based in Souls games, but it at least gives a good model of how it could be implemented. I sure hope they give Castlevania another 3D shot!
I'm still hoping we'll see a new 3D castlevania. If metal gear and silent hill came back then hopefully a new castlevania, whether it be a remake or new game, is on the way
There's always room for redemption, look a SE and Capcom ... most of what they put out in the ps3 and a part of the ps4 era was utter dogpoop but in the past 5 years they've been hitting it out of the park with some quality shit . Konami are responsible for some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had so discrediting them would be a disservice to gaming . It's not like they were putting out shit games , they just bailed from the gaming space all together ... I can't say the same thing for for alot of other companies
10 years gone by without a new Castlevania title. Now that Konami is considering stuff other than Pachinko, this series deserves a new game.
It’s more than about time it’s way overdue. Please make a 2D Castlevania with item/armor/weapon collectibles and transmog as this is the one series my wife will play but it has to have item collecting or she will skip it.
Lords of shadow 1 was such an amazing game and they dropped the ball with the sequel
"What is a name? A miserable little pile of letters."
Seriously, the games in the From Software's Soulsborne series are the best 3D Castlevania games we will ever get. From Bloodborne to Elden Ring, Konami will never approach that level of quality and give Castlevania its due respect. EVER! "Enough talk, call yourself a Belmont in the Character Creator, HAVE AT YOU!" Without question.
As for a new 2D entry? I mean, sure, why not? What the hell, right? It's about damn time indeed.
I hate being that guy, but I think it’s, “What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets.”
Um, actually mine is the original line in the Script. But Konami, being Konami, decided to change it to "What is a man? A miserable 'little' pile of secrets." I know, they ruined it...
So, while I know you hate to be that guy, you still missed the "little" part. It happens.
And, yeah, I know. You're welcome.👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. On the other hand, it seems like some ppl were so offended by my Line being so OP that they decided to side with Konami. But these are the same people that bought Contra: Rogue Corps Day One and convinced themselves it was the best Contra. So I take no offense.
It happens.
I'm not into buying sports games anymore, mainly because you get a new version every single year and sometimes with not much improvements but I would pick FIFA 12 in a blink of an eye.
Pes :D
PES12 because they have the chilean NAT'l team
FIFA all the way!!!
"Just like every year for the past decade or so, we’re going to get two really good football simulator games this year"
hmm...not (Fifa is really equal or better than pes since 4 years only, before that, PES was way better)
