E3 2018: The best of the PlayStation showcase
Well that sure was…something. Playstation decided to try something different with their E3 presentation this year, stepping away from the traditional stage show packed with teaser trailers and instead showing fewer games but in greater detail. And that’s an idea I’m totally on board with, as greater detail is something E3 reveals could always use more of. And the show certainly delivered some more...[Read More]
Metal Gear Solid V complete edition coming this October

Launching on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 11, the new edition collects both The Phantom Pain along with...[Read More]
The Kojima Productions logo movie sure is weird
Well this is certainly one of the weirder things you’ll see on the internet today. Some context: a couple of months ago Hideo Kojima revealed to the world the “really cool full body” of his new Kojima Productions studio’s logo mascot, named LUDENS. Seeming like a skeleton in power armour, Kojima later established that LUDENS’ skull-like face was actually a mask. But w...[Read More]
Kojima Productions reveals the face of mascot LUDENS in new image
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never been more curious about the details surrounding a character that may not be anything more than a company logo. Seriously, ever since Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima revealed that the face depicted in his new studio’s logo had a secret and a “really cool full body”, I’ve been really excited whenever more news surr...[Read More]

Hideo Kojima teases the secret character behind his new studio’s logo
Late last year, following his chaotic departure from Konami, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima announced the formation of a new studio, Kojima Productions. This was coupled with the news that their debut game would be exclusive to Playstation. But one of the most interesting parts of the announcement was the studio’s strange logo, which resembled something a person in one of the SAW films migh...[Read More]
In Memoriam: Metal Gear Solid
I feel I speak for every Metal Gear Solid fan when I say this past weekend was an emotional roller coaster. Hearing David Hayter and Paul Eiding reprise their roles as Solid Snake and Colonel Campbell in those new Ford ads led to a huge mix of emotions. Euphoric nostalgia, hatred of seeing something so beloved used in a commercial context and another reminder that Hayter was replaced as Snake in M...[Read More]
Metal Gear Solid cast reunites for new Ford car ads
David Hayter may have been denied the opportunity to return in Metal Gear Solid V, but it seems he isn’t entirely done playing Solid Snake. Hayter revealed on his Twitter overnight that the cast of 1998’s Metal Gear Solid (AKA the best game of all time) are back, featuring in the new “Overdubs” ad campaign for Ford Motor Company. The campaign is made up of actors red...[Read More]

It’s no secret that a couple of us here at LoadScreen are huge fans of P.T., the playable teaser trailer for the now cancelled Silent Hills developed by Metal Gear Solid’s Hideo Kojima and film-maker Guillermo del Toro. I praised P.T.’s use of “curiosity/pants-shitting-terror” to guide the player in a piece discussing its upcoming indie spiritual successor, All...[Read More]
Fan remake of Metal Gear Solid in Unreal Engine 4 trailer drops
Fan remakes of classic games have always had an iffy track record, with some going on to be commercially sold products such as Half-Life remake Black Mesa and others being hit with the ban hammer from the original rights holders, effectively destroying years of work. Today, the first proper trailer for an Unreal Engine 4 remake of Metal Gear Solid, titled Shadow Moses, dropped on YouTube, a...[Read More]
The pros & cons of Metal Gear without Kojima
We all knew that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, my personal Game of 2015, would be the last real Metal Gear game after the now confirmed departure of creator Hideo Kojima from publisher Konami. Heck, it’ll probably be the last real game from Konami since, as well as ditching talent like Kojima, they also cancelled the promising new Silent Hills project, have been accused of tor...[Read More]
Hideo Kojima’s new studio partners with Playstation
Finally, official news regarding what the heck Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima is doing after the many rumours of him leaving Kojima Productions and Konami earlier this year. We heard he was only on vacation, that he was barred from attending an awards ceremony, but still no actual word as to whether he had left the company and if so what he was up to. Well, he’s forming a new studio,...[Read More]
