Rumor: New Xbox 360 title on the way from Konami

by Richard Mitchell on May 5th 2009 5:30PM

According to a list of 2009 projects from Gem Impact, the audio production studio founded by Metal Gear Solid composer Norihiko Hibino, Konami has a new Xbox 360 title in the works. First of all, no, we're not going to say it. We'll just say that the title could be anything. It's also worth noting, as does Gamezine, that the same page lists Bayonetta as a PS3-only title, which isn't the case. Thus, the Konami listing could easily be a multiplatform title -- the new Castlevania title revealed last year, perhaps.

Also worth pointing out, the list notes an upcoming PS3 title from Fatal Frame IV and No More Heroes developer Grasshopper Manufacture. This might be the upcoming horror project with EA that was announced last year -- for Xbox 360 and Wii as well, incidentally -- or it might be something completely different.

Maybe it's time to start thinking up this year's E3 Bingo cards ....

We live and hope

That's like the 2nd time today where a post has basically said "____ company is going to make a game! No worthwhile details available!"

Well I guess in the spirit of mindless conjecture, it's going to be an XBLA game, ummm, based off the NES title 'Spot: The Video Game' but skinned over with a MGS v. Castlevania type theme.

and ponies, never forget the ponies...never.

and the giant enemy crabs and weakpoints for massive damage. we can't have a game without those.

luvs the caption.

*cue PS3 forms being filled with this link*

Cue endless speculation about Zone of the Enders

not sure why ppl voted you down but what you said does imo seem the most logical and reasonable.

I'm kinda curious myself. Generally when i get voted down, i could've seen it coming.

MGS anything would be nice, but if I could pick a new Kojima game, it would totally be Zone of Enders 3. WTF Kojima! Get to work you lazy bastard.

However, since we're talking Konomi here, gimmie Castlevania 360!

isn't symphony of the night on 360? that's a fantastic game.

Rumble Roses XXX is a sure-fire bet.

Wasn't familiar with the series. Googled it. Looks terrible, yeesh. Did they design it so you could play the game one handed, I mean what's the point? Were the games actually good?

I have no idea, never had any interest in playing them. Hibino-san did the music for XX and it was a 360 exclusive, just put two and two together and formed something completely batshit.

The first RR on PS2 is actually pretty good. XX on 360 is just too punishingly difficult to be any fun. The character creator is pretty good, though...

Fair enough, I'm just going off the google search, seeing the 1st 4 image results, and wondering why on earth anyone would actually really play the game. Your mention of character creator just makes it sound more ridiculous.

Think DOA with wrestling moves... and mud battles.

Wow

so, color me stupid, cuz i really love this game on the PS2

And the humilliation moves are the best, really!!!

Its the best thing to play when you don't have enything to do and want to have some laugh with pals

If its a new castlevania i hope its 2D. But im hoping for a side scrolling HD online co-op Contra game.

Can we mark today as official "No One Cares About Metal Gear On XBOX360 Anymore" (NOCAMGOXA) day?

Ditto. Rich fanboys bought PS3's, poor fanboys hit up youtube and MGS wiki, people who aren't already into MGS aren't willing to play it.

The joke was funny for the first year...

...and then there's that little-known third category: people who bought the PS3-MGS4 bundle because they wanted to play it, even though they've never played an MGS game before and are not fanboys. Crazy, I know, but there are a few of us out there.

jakka got it. i started off with 4 and used the metal gear wiki to fill myself in on the plots of the previous ones. the graphics in that game were and still are amazing though. some of the best graphics on consoles.

in a world's situation applies to me.

Better be some new IP. As surprising as MGS4 aka The Rumor That Won't Fuck Off would be, it doubt anybody would really give a shit about it after all this time, initial shock aside.

And so, go Konami's new IP!

porting it won't matter now. it's had its exclusitivity. i see it like bioshock. eventually making its way to 360 just like bioshock eventually made it to ps3. we all win in the end so who cares?

Totally calling MGS4 port.... (Awaits rage)

Brooklyn Rage!!!

Love the photo. I lawled hard...

Konami likes money. no, no, they LOVE money. it just makes sense to make more of it with an MGS4 port.

The first RR on PS2 is actually pretty good. XX on 360 is just too punishingly difficult to be any fun. The character creator is pretty good, though...

Dammit, reply is glitching out again, today... repost.

This may sound outlandish and crazy, but... WHAT IF... it was an MGS4 port? I'll let you stew on that one...

Wouldn't care. I wouldn't buy it. No really, I've never been a huge fan of MGS games, and each seems to get worse and more stuck up it's own arse. If I had to choose a PS3 exclusive to port, it would be Little Big Planet.

Guys, for Christ's sake, it was an sarcastic comment. The internet really needs Times New Sarcasm...

Plastic boxs filled with chips: Serious Business.

End of Days!

Konami is making a new game? You don't say.

SO IS EA!!!

OMG BEST NEWSDAY EVAR

You two are killing me. This news is too much!

PORT IT, FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS.

I already own it on PS3, but I probably would have finished it already if it were on the 360. Odd, but I think it has to do with the draw of community on 360. Well, one of these days I'll finish it. For those without a PS3 and a deep desire for MGS4...here's to hoping for all of you.

I pity you for this comment.

Haha...didn't mean to sound like an ass :-)

MGS4 is not coming to 360. But what about one of those MGS Substance/Subsistence type games.?

That was only MGS2 dude. If MGS3 subsistence didn't come to the xbox, it's pretty doubtful that MGS4 would come to the 360. Then again, anything could happen at this point.

Yea i know about Subsistence. But in this console gen, companies need money since budgets are crazy.

slayer, previous grand theft auto titles were only on playstation but GTA4 made it to 360. anything is possible.
