What do you get when you bring together the force behind Metal Gear Solid, not to mention Castlevania, Gradius, and about a dozen other video game icons, with the developers of last year's squad-based shooter Jericho? No really, we're curious, because honestly we haven't a clue.
Konami and Spanish devs Mercury Steam have partnered for a mysterious new project for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, a game that Konami calls "a major part" of its release schedule for 2009-10. The project, whatever it is, is being overseen by Konami's European footprint, which is just wrapping up work on New International Track and Field for the Nintendo DS. Beyond this nothing -- and we mean nothing -- is known about the new game, through given Mercury Steam's track record of tepid action adventure titles (Scrapland anyone?), it's impossible to care too much yet.

Unfortunately, this has the possibility of going anywhere. Konami's games are often hit or miss, you either love them or you play them once and never again. Same with MSE really, played Jericho once and probably wont for a long time...
This kind of unpredictability will mean there's a good chance this collaboration will end up being crap. But here's hoping it's not.

Yeah, Konami makes more bad games than good ones at this point. Sad.

Here's hoping that it is a survival horror dance game:
2- controllers! Dance your way through Hell while shooting demons and sinners.

I would prefer the Jericho tv show creators then the Jericho game creators. Not the last is bad, it's just that I still can't get over the fact that Jericho might be cancelled (again). And a post nuclear war game with a government conspiracy would be great (well, Fallout 1 and 2 were).

If it's a first person shooting game, then I don't care.

I can't get over the fact Joystiq's official SSBB FC uber list is at 2717 oh and that they're using a lethal substance I liked in effect of T-1000.
