Well, this year's E3 is nearly upon us and the news is starting to trickle in.
Today's announcement from the Konami pre-E3 conference? Hideo Kojima and the other beautiful people at Konami deliver on all fronts.
You may remember the announcement that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was making a HD transition to PS3 from PSP. Well, it is - but it's not coming alone. As part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will all be making the jump to Sony's current console and the Xbox 360 in November this year.. Expect trophies/achievements, slick HD visuals and no doubt a stack of extras as has been the case with past HD remasters.
But wait, that's not all!
Remember those two excellent mech-based games that Kojima and his team produced for the PS2? A little series called Zone of the Enders? Well those are being remastered and released in HD on the PS3 and Xbox 360 too! Hopefully when this drops sometime in 2012, it's just a stepping stone for the much sought after part 3 of the franchise.
BUT WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL!
Not enough HD collection talk in this post? Didn't think so. Silent Hill 2 & 3 are being remastered and bundled up for your enjoyment too! That's right, a THIRD HD collection is coming from Konami, but no release date has yet been announced. They also teased a bit more of the newest title, Silent Hill: Downpour (due out this winter), but no new real information was given.
And finally...
Konami showed off their new "Fox Engine", a new graphics engine that Hideo Kojima and his team are using to create an as-of-yet unrevealed new title.
Phew, what a news blow-out. Lots of stuff to look forward to from the House of Konami it seems!
