Kojima's Mask is Lords of Shadow

Examiner: Tonight Hideo Kojima released another teaser page for an upcoming game. Though the teaser page is titled "Mask", the game isn't of the same name. It's the teaser for Lords of Shadow. I have on good authority from a reliable source that this is the Lords of Shadow teaser page. Konami and Kojima will reveal the game prior to E3, but Kojima will announce development details and more at E3 next week.

MattyF5439d ago

Different teaser. Kojima will showcase a MGS title and LoS at E3.

"Kojima's Mask is Lords of Shadow"

I doubt it. You also see the mask on the MGS5 Next teaser page. Look at the bottom right, the Kojima productions logo morphs into the mask.

@1.2
yah but that doesnt mean its a different game. It could be on there to show he is working on more then one project

Beast_Master5438d ago

Perhaps 1 exclusive for Sony and 1 for Microsoft or Nintendo? There is a rumor that Sony locked up a big time 3rd party exclusive. I wonder if it was Kojima? which one would you want, Metal Gear or his next project? They chose Rockstar's new IP over GTA, so who knows.

What this video game industry needs is a next-gen stealth ninja game. One that surpasses Tenchu in every way. Think about it. Ninjas and the Samurai are part of Japanese culture, at least they were, why can't they make a realistic game about that? I'd eat it up...and it would be so refreshing instead of every game using guns and bombs etc.

@ MattyF

I hope so, but On the teaser for ( mg ) you see the mask on it also

MattyF5439d ago (Edited 5439d ago )

I know. What a better way to hype another title than to hype it via the next MGS teaser page? Kojima will introduce LoS at E3. Kojima has been advising the game for a while now.

Also notice the mask slowly comes into play on the MGS site. It's just a small way to get people to the LoS. Viral marketing strategy.

akenny015439d ago

I Can only hope, Ah well, we will have to wait til e3
Fingers crossed now ! :D

Kojima = tease of the century

gamesblow5439d ago

Wrong... God I wish I could speak out about what the game"S" really are right now. I can tell you this, it's not MGS and it's not LOS.

It's something you all know well and for most of us, grew up on.

pwnsause5439d ago

snatcher? am i getting hot? or cold?

Homicide5439d ago

I was thinking of Snatcher too.

MattyF5439d ago

Snatcher will be coming. But this isn't the teaser for it.

akenny015439d ago

oh, Snatcher had masks like this ? and Raiden (Greyfox/Sunny) Ninja Masks/suits and big boss masks did it?

Obama5439d ago

So snatcher is ps3 exclusive? :D

Obama5439d ago

It's actually castlevania am I correct?

Fishy Fingers5438d ago

"It's something you all know well and for most of us, grew up on. "

Breast milk?

pippoppow5438d ago

Playing snatcher right now. Just went to first suspects apartment. such a good game. Would be nice if a new version came out. Maybe have flying when traveling to different locations with battles sometimes along the way. Also when fighing enemies on the ground it changes to a 3d 3rd person fighting screen. All this while still mainting the feel and look of the original.

Kratos195438d ago

How could it not be MGS? It's virtually confirmed to be a new MGS.

kingOVsticks5438d ago

Breast milk is a good theory but heres another one

We all grew up on Sesame street correct?

there is an S in Sesame Street I think

What about all the random #s you(the people of n4g) ask?

The Count! He always spouts random #s! The Count is a Vampire!

Castlevania confirmed...

We already know that this mask thing has to do with the whole MGS, Next, Raiden thing. As you can see from this picture the mask fits Raidens face perfectly. http://n4g.com/ViewComImage... Also Lords of Shadows is not even being made by Kojima Productions, its just being produced by Konami.

Although being linear, which I wish it wasn't, the first game was absolutely incredible. A mix of old school God of War meets Date's Inferno; I was highly impressed by this title. I heard the sequel was trash so I ever played it but I think LoS was a good example of how a 3D CV game could be.

rgraf771291d ago (Edited 1291d ago )

I was very happy the game was Linear as I hate exploring. The first game was one of my all time favorites and the 2nd game was a total letdown with the lame hub system and stealth sections. Playing in current times sucked too. I wish they would make a remaster of part 1.

magdiellima1291d ago

Good as a game but terrible as a Castlevania. The sequence was even worse.

Terry_B1291d ago

It is a great game, but just like DMC is not a Devil May Cry..this one was not a Castlevania :-)

FreeckyCake1290d ago

Give Castlevania to Igarashi team, and they will nail it as they did with Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness.

Terrifyingly Bad: A Look Back At the 3D Castlevania Games

If you decide to play a Castlevania game, make sure it's in 2D. Unfortunately, the series has never been able to make the jump from 2D to 3D successfully. Publisher Konami has tried. Six times in fact, but whether trying to build it in-house or with a third party developer, they never captured the essence of the series or make a good game for that matter. So just to be sure you know what to look out for, here are the six 3D Castlevania games that have been made.

isarai1648d ago

I loved the hell out of lords of shadow, lords if shadow 2 had its moments but just didnt leave as much of an impact on me as the first did, still loved it though. They are both great games IMO, maybe not the best "Castlevania" games but great games in their own right.

RememberThe3571647d ago

Yeah that first game was legit good. Really wish they hadn't taken a step back for the second, this series really looked great in 3D.

AK911647d ago (Edited 1647d ago )

According to one of the former devs of Mercury Steam the higher ups kept interfering with the sequel to the point where the game was nothing like what the dev team had envisioned for the sequel so we got the mess that was Lords of Shadows 2.

PhoenixUp1648d ago

I enjoyed Lament of Innocence and Lords of Shadow. They were entertaining titles and I wouldn’t mind trying Lords of Shadow 2 on PS Now.

Just because a game isn’t GOTY worthy does not mean it’s not worth playing. You could do a lot worse than those exceptional titles.

Abcdefeg1647d ago

Curse of darkness was ahead of its time

Hedstrom1647d ago

I really liked lament of innocence and Lords of shadow! Havent tried the other 3d games. But ive played most of the 2d games!

gangsta_red1647d ago (Edited 1647d ago )

I don't know why Castlevania: Lament of Innocence gets a bad rap. It was one of the best in the series at that time and really was a compliment to the Devil May Cry 3rd person style of action that was getting popular at that time.

I rented it on a fluke and was seriously surprised on how good it was. So much so I went out and bought a used copy of Curse of Darkness and instantly returned that trash.

The problem with Nintendo 64 games is they all tried to mimic the Mario/Zelda 64 style of gameplay and how could they not with that whacky ass N64 controller. Almost every game outside of Nintendo's own felt horrible and incomplete.
