Konami has a slew of upcoming games for all systems, and just before the start of the new E3 2007, Konami has revealed it’s planned line-up for the show.
They also announced that they will be revealing a brand new English Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots trailer tomorrow at both Sony’s press conference as well as their own, hoping for a repeat of last years show where MGS4 stole much of the limelight. They have also gone on record as saying that the exclusivity of Metal Gear Solid 4 is in question. They would like to keep it on a Playstation platform, since that’s where the series was birthed, but financially it may not be feasible, especially with the sluggish sales of the Playstation 3.
And now to the line-up!
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (PSP) – A remake of the Castlevania classic Rondo of Blood. This marks the first time that game has come to the US.
Silent Hill: Origins (PSP) – Originally supposed to be another remake, this time of the original PS1 Silent Hill, Origins instead morphed into it’s own unique portable entry in the series. Now a prequel to the 1999 original, Origins hopes to shock players by revealing some of the series’ most closely guarded secrets.
Contra 4 (DS) – Another type of revisit, Contra 4 takes the series back to it’s “Contra III: The Alien Wars” roots, and incorporates both screens for the hectic gun-shooting action.
