Solid Snake’s story is finished, but that doesn’t mean Konami is going to seal the Metal Gear Solid franchise in an early grave. The first sign of a new Metal Gear Solid game comes from the Japanese Trademark database where Konami registered Metal Gear Existence with the boring image on the right. It’s made to be used with video games so it’s likely, very likely, the name of a future Metal Gear Solid game. Going by the title alone it sounds like we’re going to visit the existence - or origins of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. So, will this be another game starring Big Boss? Let the wild pre-Tokyo Game Show speculation begin!

Tried the boring Fracture demo today, another average 3rd person shooter. Bring back Uncharted!

 

I thought the deformations of the ground were pretty good but other than that it was just "ok". It's difficult to tell from the demos that seem to slam you right in the middle of the game (ala the Uncharted demo too).

 

Looks nice though. I liked the styling of it all and at least the deformation weapon/idea is unique.

 

On the theme of demo's: I've been loving all of the EA demos. NBA 09/NHL 09/FIFA 09. All of them are utterly amazing. If only I could afford them all...

Just had a couple of 1 on 1 matches with the Cookster, jabra worked pretty well, although couldn't always make out what was being said, so there was an awkward silence where I'm hoping he didn't just ask me a question lol.

But good-oh, looking forward to these tournies!

My headset came today! yay. Not tried it yet though, i have left it charging.

always a good idea I didn't leave mine charging for anywhere near long enough and it ran out mid game, so ended up having it plugged into the mains to get it to run...

Level-5, the independent Japanese developer that's worked on everything from early PlayStation 2 RPG Dark Cloud to the world-beating, epic Dragon Quest VIII, is celebrating the tenth anniversary of their founding. Normally this would call for some cake and maybe letting the staff go home a bit early, but nothing doing for the outfit that Akihiro Hino and friends founded a decade ago -- after all, they're a big-name publisher in Japan now, and in the upcoming Level-5 Vision 2008 event in Tokyo (starting September 26), the company plans to announce five brand-new games that show exactly how versatile Hino's software house has become.

 

The games set to be unveiled, as profiled by this week's issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine, are as follows:

 

* Ninokuni: The Another World (Nintendo DS, with an port to an unspecified console also planned) is an RPG starring a 13-year-old boy who's invited into a magical fantasy land by a spirit, a world eerily close to Earth that's under the rule of a dark sorcerer. There he hopes to deal with the issues that haunt his life, not the least of which being that he was responsible for his mother's passing not long ago. This project is no doubt the biggest announcement of the day, mainly thanks to one small detail: Studio Ghibli, Japan's most famous animation studio, is working on Ninokuni's animated sequences, the first time the company has ever provided original work for a video game.

 

* Danboru Senki (PSP) is a build-and-fight RPG with more than a passing resemblance to Nintendo's Custom Robo series. In the game world, people build and customize small battle robots called LBXes, then duke it out with friends in special miniature battlefields made from cardboard reinforced to weather combat damage (the game's title literally means "Cardboard War Machines" in Japanese). You'll take up the role of a new hobbyist in the field, searching for rare parts and trying to become the best robo-fighter in town.

 

* Inazuma Eleven 2 (Nintendo DS) is the sequel to the Level-5-produced soccer RPG that just came out in Japan last month. Once again, you'll be leading a middle-school soccer team as they try to save the world from a new, alien soccer menace. Seriously. As before, it's equal parts JRPG exploration and fast-action soccer sim.

 

* Professor Layton and The Last Time Travel (Nintendo DS) is the third game in the Layton series, one with the usual full new set of puzzles and characters. The Professor receives a strange letter one day claiming to be from his assistant Luke ten years in the future. Tracking its source down leads to a scientist creating a new, working time machine, one that sadly goes haywire and throws the Prime Minister of England and his wife into some unknown spot in time-space. Can Layton rearrange matchsticks and stuff quickly enough to save them?

 

* Ushiro (PSP) is a first for Level-5 -- a horror RPG. You play Reiichiro Ushiro, a newly-minted shinigami spirit who has the power to give people near the brink of death a single wish in exchange for their lives. Whether listening in on conversations in spirit mode, possessing the living to do your bidding, or fighting personifications of the evil in man's heart, you can be sure that being a not-so-friendly ghost is nothing if not hectic.

All of these games are due out 2009 in Japan with the exception of Layton, which hits Japanese stores November 27.

 

In an interview with Famitsu, founder and producer Akihiro Hino looked back on the first ten years of his company's existence. "I never even thought about [becoming a publisher]," he reflected. "In the beginning, I didn't see any need for us to be a publisher because I thought the important thing was to create games we'd be satisfied with -- if we could make good games and put food in the table with that, that would be perfect." He noted that of the new games, Ninokuni is likely to be the one released the soonest -- and with Ghibli involved, it's undoubtedly going to be the one that attracts the most attention overseas.

I'm going to get Bioshock but likely not start it for ages...as LBP is out the same day. Will get as far into Fallout 3 as I can before Resistance 2 hits then jump into that.

I can't wait to get the hang of level creation in LBP. It would be so satisfying to show other people your hard work and play it yourself and show friends. Awesome stuff.

definitly worth it, the reports of the slow down etc... are no way as bad as it was made out and Team Fortress 2 is still my favourite online shooter on PS3...

 

Ordered it last night.

I've played the Box at a friend's and thought TF2 was quite good, but very difficult to step into, and I'd never played Half Life but it is a brilliant game. Any news if a new one is coming out? That would kind of a be a megaton if it was.
