Wait a minute...I heard of this game...
That's the game Kojima's working on? :x

I still think it's a Metal Gear game...but then again...

Masta_fro5470d ago

well dont know anything about it, but if its a Kojima game, then by all means count me in...

dont care if its exclusive as long as ps3 is lead platform...

ultimolu5470d ago

Yep. I remembered hearing about this game but I can't remember where.

gaygamer.net?

WTF? i don't want to click that site

Sangria5470d ago

So when it's "LesbianGamers" everything is all right but when it's "GayGamers" it's suspicious? XD

i don't want my history to say i visited hat site

O.o :P

LoL

SevWolf5469d ago

@ red....hahaha...nice...
anyway on topic...when I saw this rumor I was actually a bit excited to see what a great mind like Kojima can do with a genre like this...but then I dug a bot around the web...and the neogaf thread and realized even though KONAMI announced this game it is already being developed by mercury steam as shown on the trailer...so I doubt this is Kojima's...can't f*cking wait for the announcement

talltony5469d ago

He will announce this game first and then announce mgs5 next. You'll see.

cmrbe5469d ago

is a game like Castlevenia. The first time i saw it i thought it was castlevenia and the name Lord of shadows was just a placename.

Its a PS3/X360 game btw. I don't think its a Kojima game though. Kojima might just be promoting it. Either way if its like Castlevania then its a firstday buy for me.

gaffyh5469d ago

Yeah I immediately though Lords of Shadow when I saw the silhouette, and that game look pretty awesome from the teaser they showed. Looks like it will be a DMC + Castlevania game

dragunrising5469d ago

I definitely wouldn't mind another MGS game, then again...I am interested in any game made by Kojima.

E3 can't come soon enough.

I want my MGS4 trophies! I would be happy just with that announcement.

JoySticksFTW5469d ago

I clicked on it without reading the link and was like WTF?!?! LOL!!

Topless dudes and guys posing with puppies all up on that site... D:

But they do have a trailer for the game though.

Guys, your eyes won't bleed. Check the trailer out! Kojima can never disappoint

LastDance5469d ago

My dad will beat me if I go there.

No Way5469d ago

Well.. Duh! =P

But, the question is this..
When will he announce MGS5?

DaTruth5469d ago

Seriously, I'm crying from laughter! Glad I got here late!

UnblessedSoul5470d ago

He's working on two projects right? one of them is def metal gear

MattyF5470d ago

Yeah, he said they are making two games. So it can still be MGS and this.

zoneofenders5469d ago

of course there will be a new MG game
the japanese shopping site dont lie.
however we are not sure if it is on PS3.......
we are pretty sure it wont be on XBOX360 though, at least not in japan.

DelbertGrady5469d ago

Death Metal Gear? Snake wearing corpse paint as camouflage?

sinncross5470d ago

Then why go through so much trouble to keep it a secret, especially since the trailer for LOS was first shown at Liepzig 2008.

Unless of course Kojima is not working on MGS5, but rather a different team i Kojima Productions ,which would make sense since that is what Kojima originally wanted.

SolidAhmed5469d ago

be true since the poster matching lord of shadows character.
why not and i think this is a good move for hideo since he have one legendary franchise so it is the time to do the next legendary franchise.

go on Hideo do something that change the action adventure games

cayal5469d ago

"be true since the poster matching lord of shadows character. "

It would be hard to make a silhouette of someone else in that shape. Kojima isn't so obvious.

cayal5469d ago

I meant wouldn't be so hard.

Antan5470d ago

Kojima has nothing to do with LOS.

FAT MAN GO BOOM5470d ago

This so is the game that he is working on....

The shadow fits so well with the main character....

This will be good something other than MGS not saying it was bad loved every minute of it... but I would really really love to see him do a different series for a bit...

TOO PAWNED5470d ago

It is well known that Kojima loves God Of War games, and if you ask me this has a lot of GOW into it
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

peeps5470d ago

is it possible PSW got confused though...?

I mean for a start, i don't think they are an official magazine (as in not official sony/playstation) and it's quite possible they made a mistake... or something has lead them to this which throws ppl off the current scent (new mgs)

in my comment earlier i mentioned how with all this hideo countdown, would he really do all that just to say 'i am going to be working on a game konami announced ages ago'

MattyF5470d ago

Kojima could have helped watch over this game and will announce it at E3. Doesn't mean it was made by KojiPro. Kojima can help other devs out with games.

Antan5469d ago

I talk to the MS guys on a regular basis, i worked on Jericho over in Madrid back in 2007, still good friends of course. We chat about things in general and of course about LOS, and Kojima has never been mentioned once, not even hinted at. I shall hold my hands up if he has any involvement in this whatsoever, but im pretty sure Konami are letting the guys get on with it.

Sangria5470d ago (Edited 5470d ago )

Check my comment here:
http://n4g.com/NewsCom-3327...
Once again, the main problem is that Lord of Shadow is developed by MercurySteam and that the cover is a pretty bad shoop, as the silhouette took some parts of the background in the LoS trailer.
And why would we tease a game that has been announced several months ago? (article below is dated for the 21st August of 2008, almost one year ago)
http://news.softpedia.com/n...

KingKionic 5470d ago

Well they almost look exact the same ..lol

Perhaps a different costume ?

cayal5469d ago

Like I said above Kojima isn't obvious. It wouldn't be hard to make a same silhouette of a different character.

It would be like the Assassins Creed Snake.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow1d 6h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 21h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 7h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX2d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 1h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
