A trailer for a new Metal Gear game was released today at Gamescom.

And it looks nothing like Metal Gear.

Its an Alternate Reality game which means it isn't supposed be in the main series. Still awfully redundant to put Metal Gear's name on it.



But hey, we should all be grateful it isn't a pachinko game, right? Right? ;)

If only they had a horror franchise this concept might make more sense in.

Yeah, if only there had been something in the works while Kojima was working for them.....

Well they released some TG-16 games on the Wii U Virtual Console. It would make sense to keep the trademark around since they own Hudson.

We don't know that it won't suck so I wouldn't give them a pat on the back just yet.

If you love Bomberman, it won't suck. Bomberman Live is pretty bare bones but as a big fan of the series, it still had a lot of replay value.

Clearly Konami wants to hire fans of these series.


...in order to make more Pachislots about them.

Even if they do release games for these series, they could end up hiring a bunch of dumb hipsters that aren't even "fans" of these games.
