The split between Konami and Hideo Kojima continues to be one of the big stories of the year in gaming It has been splashed across websites since the news started in March, and continues to barrel on Yet, we still know very little about the actual specifics of the rift. Well, here is some possible incite[...]

Konami cancelled Silent Hills due to rifts with Kojima and we will always be left to wonder what could have been. Speaking to IGN, Del Toro recently revealed that hope for a collaboration may not be over though He hinted the two were still in contact and that there might be something from them both in[...]

As you aim at them, most of them disappear. Except those that aren't directed by Hideo Kojima rather interestingly. This is eerily similar to Konami's treatment of Kojima's name in recent months as they retroactively have erased his name from titles he's worked on Also, a lot of the dialogue associated with the mission seems to be[...]

Kojima clearly enjoys his position as an out there auteur and he is one of the few who really could demand such an authority over a single game. It seems that, at least where Konami is concerned, that won't be the case with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Since their secretive break up, Kojima's[...]

The whole Konami vs Hideo Kojima mess has thus far been one of the stories of the year in games The way the company has distanced itself from the prolific game designer is pretty much unheard of I've never seen a name so synonumous with a brand erased so quickly and thoroughly before. Through all of[...]

Despite the rift between Konami and Hideo Kojima, the game is going forward and we aren't far from its release. Surprisingly we didn't see it at any of the press conferences yesterday, but this new trailer put together by Kojima sneakily made its way onto the net showing off a pretty perplexing story trailer Its full[...]

But, it's being picked up by a lot of outlets and it's a fun bit of speculation, so let's roll with it for now. RoosterTeeth are claiming to have received reports from a source that Microsoft are going to save Silent Hills after the huge Hideo Kojima and Konami split This would make the game an[...]

In a letter to Polygon, which featured parts of an interview with President of Konami, Hideki Hayakawa from an interview with Japanese outlet Nikkei Trendy Net, it was explained that while the publisher will have a focus on mobile, that doesn't mean its console games are going anywhere: We often hear the term 'mobile first,' and I want to[...]

Ever since Quiet was revealed as a Metal Gear Solid 5 character, I've been a little cautious. It surely isn't hard to see why either. The design of the

Alas, after the rift between the Metal Gear creator and Konami, it's pretty clear that there would have been no way to make that work environment right. Well, that isn't enough for some people A Change.org petition has been set up to appeal to both Del Toro and Kojima to revive the project It's doing well[...]

And we are done here. Over the last few days, we've been covering the story about the supposed cancellation of Konami's Silent Hills First, Guillermo Del Toro said it wasn't happening Then Norman Reedus said much the same And even if you were the most hopeful of fans, it's now time to call the time of[...]

Yesterday, we learnt that Guillermo Del Toro said that Silent Hills isn't happening. Now, allow me to add some more heartache on top of that. The third

We learnt today that the Silent Hills teaser, PT is being pulled from the PlayStation Network. That put the already dodgy future of the game into question

Konami have been in a bit of a rough patch of late The drama that surrounded Hideo Kojima's departure is still shrouded in mystery and there have been several instances of the publisher retroactively taking his name off projects he's worked on. Here is another thing to add to the pile One of the best things[...]

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is rumoured to have parted ways with Konami This could be huge news, especially considering there is the small matter of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain landing in September. This started out as a rumour with eagle eyed members of /r/metalgearsolid noticing that Kojima's name was systematically being removed[...]

Mods usually extend the life of a game by tenfold. Just look at Skyrim. The game came out three years ago and new content is being generated by the

 Games that would never to be held up as a critical darling, only existing to be pointed to and laughed at.  I said it in that article and I'll say it again, everyone who's played a game can point to some awful licensed title.  Games like Maximum Carnage, Dragon Ball Z, Superman, hell anyone remember the Aquaman game for GameCube and Xbox?  But I[...]

By Jared Cornelius I like to talk about classic and legacy games a lot.  I often find myself wearing the rose colored glasses of nostalgia when thinking back on games, cartoons, and comics I thought were great as a kid.  As an adult I can see how many of the things I liked as a child and teenager[...]
