Solid Snake Reborn

Konami is a leading Japanese video game developer and publisher.   Founded in 1969, it is responsible for some of today's most legendary and notorious games, including the Metal Gear series, DDR, Castlevania, Contra, TMNT, and hundreds others.  They've been around for a long time, and their games have experienced the highs and lows of technological advancements.

Today, at an E3 press conference, Konami made waves with a huge announcement.  Apparently, Konami will be remaking, rebooting, and remastering several of its earlier well-known franchises for today's generation of consoles.  Included in the list of franchise overhauls was the Metal Gear series and Zone of the Enders.

Fans can expect to see a revamped, more HD version of Solid Snake this November on the XBox 360 and PS3, and will include Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and Metal Gear Solid:  Peace Walker.  The games will all feature, new graphics, art, audio, achievements, and a plethora of fresh experiences.

Check out the hour-long, pre-E3 interview for upcoming Konami titles!

  6. Heard about the ZoE remake which I'm really looking forward to. It's been one of those games I've been wanting to play but I could never find a copy of it in shops.

  7. Can't wait for ZoE, one of my favorite games on the PS2. Just a note, this blog is almost impossible to read with that background and text colours!
