E3 – Zero Dark Solid – Red Band Trailer for Metal Gear Solid V

So I know I posted the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain trailer yesterday, but it turns out there is a red band, extended trailer that adds about 3 minutes of intense footage of the graphic nature. I’m thinking Mr. Kojima watched Zero Dark Thirty recently. Seriously though, it’s pretty intense and depicts torture (on children?) and other unseemly stuff that we can post because we bring you the truth and never aver our eyes from the heartbeat of [...]

Metal Gear Returns to the PC

I’m sure most of the PC elite are smiling at this news. Metal Gear is finally coming back to the PC with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (that still feels stupid to type out). With Raiden’s multiplatform release, many were probably curious if Konami was going to dip their toe in to a digital PC release. Well with all the Pre-E3 hoopla running around, its good to hear some major PC acknowledgements. When however is another question. All we’re getting out [...]

Kiefer Sutherland is Snake in Metal Gear Solid V

I feel like this is going to make a lot people happy or sad. Happy in that, c’mon the star of 24 as the Boss? How is that not meta in some way? Upset in that David Hayter, the previous voice of Snake and his many variations, is the definitive voice for the character. Me? Well I’m actually not the biggest Metal Gear fan so I find this to be quite entertaining. Additionally I can’t be the only one thinking [...]

PES 2014 to Utilize Fox Engine, Do All Sorts of Football Things, Avoids WiiU

Konami’s yearly entry into the soccer stadium will be a little more foxy this year with PES 2014. The latest in Pro Evolution Soccer will feature reworked mechanics possible thanks to Konami’s in-house engine, the Fox Engine. Now what followed in Konami’s Pre-E3 live show was a lot of technical jargon, half of which I’m fairly convinced they made up (Technically speaking, yes it is all made up, but you know what I mean). For instance, TrueBall allows for slight [...]

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection Announced for PS3

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection came out last year to great acclaim. Featuring the HD versions of Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I didn’t play it but I’ve always been meaning to dive into the Metal Gear series. Now it seems I can just wait another couple of months for a more complete collection as Konami has announced Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection. The new collection features all the games from the HD [...]

[News] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Revealed

During a GDC panel, Hideo Kojima revealed that The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid V were indeed the same game. Ending months of speculation from fans as the initial reveal trailer for The Phantom Pain was made at the Video Game Awards last year. No one saw this coming. Holy shit, guys. Jokes about how we all guessed it months ago aside, the entire campaign from Konami was fun and different. We should be glad we have developers that try something [...]

[Preview] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Demo Impressions

Sometimes change can be scary. In the case of the first trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, change seemed very scary. Since development for Rising has begun, the project has been put in the hands of Platinum Games, which I would say was the best choice they could have made, development-wise. After having played the demo, I actually found very little to hate about this game. While it may seem nothing like the Metal Gear Solid franchise at first glance, [...]

[RIP PS2] Through the Meat Grinder: Silent Hill 2

[The PS2 is now officially discontinued! We wanted to give this mighty system a proper farewell so we're dedicating an entire week to it.] I realized I loved games when I played Pokemon (Red) for the first time on the Gameboy. I cried because of a video game when I played Cave Story. Silent Hill 2 was my first game into the series and it marked a transition in me as a gamer. Before, I wouldn’t call myself a gamer. [...]

[Review] Zone of the Enders HD Collection

HD Remakes occupy a dangerous territory. On the one hand, they bring back old favorites (hopefully) better than ever with an updated image and design elements. On the other hand, they cater to nostalgia which is a dangerous sentiment, as the feeling tends to gloss over negatives in favor of an overall positive experience to remind oneself that a game may not have been good as it was once thought to be. Luckily for me I never played Zone of [...]

[News] Kojima Announces New Metal Gear Game/Movie. Details Forthcoming

In celebration of the Metal Gear franchise’s 25th anniversary (Happy Birthday from Twinfinite, by the way), Series mastermind Hideo Kojima has announced that not only is a long-anticipated Metal Gear movie ready for development, but a new game is also apparently in the works. All that is really known about Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes thus far is that it takes place in an open-world setting, and relies less on stealth than previous installments. Beyond that, there are not many details [...]
