Darwin’s Paradox Announced at State of Play

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 14:00:53 +0000

Normally, I would cover a Sony State of Play in its entirety. However, last week was a bit hectic, and I wasn’t able to. One announcement from the show caught my eye though, especially related to other news that circled after it. Konami’s latest published game has not only gained attention at the State of Play but has also had a real-world impact. Darwin’s Paradox, developed by ZDT Studio and…

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 17:00:49 +0000

It is safe to say that the Castlevania franchise is a series that has marked the gaming industry in a way that has had ripples throughout almost every genre. Konami has been doing a great job of preserving the history of the franchise by releasing collections over the past few years. The Castlevania Dominus Collection carries that forward while also making one particular game available for the…

Silent Hill Transmission Announcements

Samuel Moreno — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 15:00:39 +0000

Silent Hill has been a quiet franchise for a while now. It’s been eight years since PT (Playable Teaser) and the announcement of the now-canceled Silent Hills, and ten years since the last mainline game released with Silent Hill: Downpour. Aside from a collaboration with Dead by Daylight and a multitude of questionable leaks, fans have been waiting to see more for a long time.

Konami To Push Onward With NFTs

Samuel Moreno — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 18:00:34 +0000

About a month ago, Konami announced its intent to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Castlevania series with the launch of a 14-piece NFT collection auction. These NFTs included visual art pieces, original pixel art, BGM tracks, and recorded gameplay clips. While it wasn’t the first company to jump aboard the NFT train and it certainly won’t be the last, the company would once again mention…

MGS 2 & 3 Delisted From Stores Temporarily

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 14:00:48 +0000

Game licensing never changes. Except for that one time, it had changed, and Metal Gear Solid 4 only had 2-hours of gameplay in it. It is a strange little thing, the entire world of licensing of music, video footage, or other parts that games employ to create the audio and video experience we’re all used to by now. More noticeable with the world of digital sales, someone buying the GTA Trilogy will…

Konami Consolidates Its Gaming Divisions

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:00:45 +0000

It’s not uncommon for a gaming company to get a bit bigger than makes sense. If you’re going about your business, suddenly you can find yourself spread thin without a clear center. It’s sort of what the Star Wars universe is doing with LucasArts Games. Under one umbrella, a company can handle its games a bit more responsibly and with more oversight. Konami seems to be doing the same thing by…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (PC) – Review

Keiran McEwen — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 18:00:37 +0000

“Clang Clang Clang went the trolley, Clang Clang Clang went the Kojima line…” Doesn’t really work, now does it? It would also be weird if Ralph Blane knew about a Japanese game developer not born for another 19-years, who wouldn’t become famous for a further 60-years. Nonetheless, the man writes like he ordered exposition by the ton, but there was a Spinal Tap-like issue, and he got everything in…

Metal Gear & Metal Gear Solid Possibly Re-releasing On PC

Keiran McEwen — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 14:11:14 +0000

The ice cubes melt, it is that simple. The ice cubes melt and it is detail like that which makes Hideo Kojima the auteur he is. In book publishing, there is one name you know and that’s the author. In film, you may know the actor’s names but most of the time, it would be the director getting high praise. In gaming, we don’t have that unless there is a small independent of one-person making a great…
