Konami Set To Bring New Castlevania And Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake To E3 - Report

The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has been rumored for a long while now.

58 Comments

A new report claims that Konami is planning to reveal a new Castlevania and a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake at this year's E3.

According to Andy Robinson, speaking on the VGC Podcast, Konami is planning to have a "pretty big E3," claiming that a new Castlevania is set to appear, alongside the much-rumored Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. "There's a new Castlevania in addition to the Dead Cells DLC they announced at The Game Awards," Robinson explained. "And there's this much discussed Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, which I also expect them to finally show."

Now Playing: Silent Hill 2 Remake - What Can We Expect From Bloober Team? | MindGames

In terms of the other older Metal Gear Solid games potentially being playable on modern platforms, Robinson said that as of one year or two years ago, being able to do so in some shape or form was in the cards, but it's now "less clear," what the situation is. "I would imagine that Metal Gear Solid 3, the remake, is going to be somewhat of a testbed for that," Robinson said.

Robinson also noted how Konami is "opening up to collaborating with more developers," though it wasn't clear if he was just talking about the Silent Hill series, or Konami's wider portfolio as well.

Some kind of Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has been rumored for a long while now, but there's been no official comment from Konami on the matter. Last October, the also long-rumored and repeatedly leaked Silent Hill 2 remake was revealed, which is being developed by Layers of Fear studio Bloober Team. Also revealed at the time was Silent Hill F, the first game in the series to bring the story to Konami's native Japan, and Silent Hill: Townfall, which comes from the indie studio No Code.

The first was a classic that everyone played in my time, but I didn't follow the games like that. I did get 3 and loved it though, so would definitely replay that especially remade.

I don't mind metal gear 3 remake first cause it's a prequel any ways. But after that how about a metal gear 1 remake and son's of liberty make them 1 by 1 just like Capcom is doing resident evil games. They better just not stop at 3

@restatbonfire: Ew. No.

The only 3D remake I would accept would be a Souls-like. If you think about it, Souls is just 3D Igavania in the first place. Heck, I swear Souls based a lot of its systems on the PS2 era Castlevanias.

@Barighm: I don't want a souls like castlevania , that is the opposite of why I play castlevania .

And no they based their systems on their older games shadow tower and king's field

@ogradyfan: Never said they did base their systems on PS2 Castlevanias, dude. Just said it feels like they did. It wouldn't be surprising, though. From has actually credited Japan Studio for much of Demon's Souls final design. And devs are inspired by other games all the time (heck, YoshiP just said FF16 is based on God of War). Have you even PLAYED the PS2 games? Don't tell me this doesn't look like a Souls boss. Even the arrangement of the UI is the same. *They even have the frickin' cage elevator.

Besides, have you even PLAYED King's Field? They're not mechanically similar to the Souls games at all. Not one bit.

Not sure what game you think you're playing if that is not why you play Castlevania because Castlevania was doing hard as nails gothic fantasy long before Souls did. The Igavania games weren't so difficult, but they're essentially 2D Souls games in practically every way imaginable besides difficulty.

@Barighm: cool so you just admitted you haven't played a kings field or shadow tower then because it's not just their settings but mechanics and storytelling

@ogradyfan: King's Field, a first person dungeon crawler in the vein of Eye and the Beholder and similar first person PC RPGs from back then but with crappy real-time combat that plays in slow motion. A lot of people playing the game in emulators speed up the framerate because it's so agonizingly slow in the original version. I have a pretty darn good idea how it does NOT play similarly to a PS2 game that is so similar to Dark Souls it even has the same UI arrangement, nevermind how the rest of the game plays, lol.

If your intention here is to evade and recontextualize rather than address my points properly, then you best move on and waste someone else's time.

@proceeder: A true Playstation exclusive, sadly. Not technically a first party game, but it might as well be since Kojima elected to utilize all of the PS3's bells and whistles to make it happen (as I understand it, anyway). It likely isn't going anywhere.

Playing darksiders 3 on reckoning difficulty right now. Don’t use lock on mechanics. Darksiders 3 has some great things going for it. Hope someone comes along and takes the good from darksiders 3 and adds to it. My biggest problem with darksiders 3 is the unwanted grind, which happens to be one of my biggest issues with the FromSoftware games.

@paleblue: Not that I don't like Darksiders and want to see a game where all four Horsemen team up to wrap up the story, but how is that relevant to this article?

@Barighm: That would be awesome if they could get all four horsethems in one game. does castlevaina core gameplay not revolve around a whip? What main weapon do you use in darksiders 3?

@paleblue: I can't really answer that because I consider every weapon one potential playthrough of the game, so I don't have a "favourite" weapon. And I flat out don't remember which weapon I favoured in my first playthrough, heh, but I fully intend to go back at some point and do it all.

Right now I'm trying to finish off my PS2 and 360 backlog. Just a few games left on each and then I can finally retire the two.

@zelda37: Play Genesis. It doesn't wrap up the story, but it does fill in enough blanks to satisfy curiousity and it gives you an idea of where things are going.

@zelda37: don’t think so. I hope they get to make more. I really enjoyed darksiders 1 and wanted to play 2 but then the company went under. I do plan on playing darksiders 2 after I finished darksiders 3 and few other games.

@restatbonfire: yeah, I only played the first 15 mins or so of it and really liked it. Been starting to get into the cycle of life and death lately. The best I’ve seen in video games on the cycle was Nier automata. Finished Nier automata on very hard. Felt like the ultimate death dealer, but one wrong move and your spawned with a new shell. Liked how they used 2s and 9s, cause on a scale from 1-10 your always in second.

Konami pretentding they care about gaming again, hilarious.

Well the CastleVania and Suikoden collections are nice but I don't trust these outsourcing studios for new games or remakes till they've proven to do the IPs justice.

Metal Gear Survive was shit last I checked.

Heidern put it best: "Why everyone doing my boy Richter better then Konami could currently?"

Anyway, it's hard to be excited about Konami bringing back all these franchises if they're just going to be messed up by new devs. Pessimistic, sure, but Konami's history working with outside studios is...very poor.

It's pretty off putting for me for them to do any MGS remake without Kojima. I just don't trust them to do right by the game without the mastermind who crafted it.

Why wouldn't they do the first MGS? IMO, it was the best in the series.

@thecupidstunts: The initial rumour suggested it WAS the first game being remade.

Although apparently the Twin Snakes was a remake of the first game.

@mogan: It just might get a release. Turns out Andy Robinson said more than just MGS3 getting remade. It looks like all three of the original games are getting the remaster treatment (I'm assuming Twin Snakes will be one of them over the PS1 game) and this has been corroborated by all the same people that leaked the Silent Hill 2 remake.
