The saga of Hideo Kojima and Konami continues, but the company attempted to clear the air earlier today with a few official statements on Twitter.
According to Kotaku, Konami explained all the recent name changes and how they signify the shift in personnel and structure at its offices and Kojima Productions. More importantly, the company reinforced Kojima's involvement with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Naturally, director Kojima is playing the game, checking all the small details and giving directions to the staff as the title continues to completion. Bringing the thoughts and ideas of director Kojima in an open world game of the size of TPP is incredibly difficult, the director and the team thatÄ‚Ë€â„Ës been there from the start are coming together as one as they aim to finish the game, so please give them the support they need.
All of the statements were pretty cut-and-dried, so the rampant speculation of what went on behind the scenes will surely continue. At least it appears the turmoil won't affect the development of Metal Gear Solid V.
I never thought I'd actually beat Demon's Souls with no armor, shields, magic, or bows, but it appears I may actually do it. I made a lot of progress in the most recent episode of Challenge Accepted, and only a few levels remain until I finish the tall task. Then again, the nightmare swamp still awaits...

Funding games through Kickstarter is a popular way for developers to make games nowadays, but a surprising number of them never get funded or never launch.

As a result, this isometric fantasy-based RPG has been released with numerous enhancements including additional classes, new factions, upgradeable player housing, and more!

Menado, Ronaldo, avacadohellip; theyÄ‚Ë€â„Ëre all good by me.
The Nintendo Wii is remembered for a handful of different things—the popularization of motion controls, easy-to-develop shovelware, and the pack-in title being better than the vast majority of titles. One thing it wasnÄ‚Ë€â„Ët well-known nor remembered fondly for is its plethora of RPGshellip; mostly because there were only a few, and of those few, even fewer were worth talking about. But one of the better ones was Xenoblade Chronicles, which has been ported to the New Nintendo 3DS. Not only that, itÄ‚Ë€â„Ës the first game that actually requires the newer model of the 3DS. But in all honesty, quality of the content aside, itÄ‚Ë€â„Ës difficult to see why it needs the updated hardware.
