Kojima has confirmed via Twitter (with a picture to boot) that MGS: Peace Walker HD will have online four player co-op on Xbox Live and PSN, and will run on 60FPS.

“4 people can co-op and it is 60 frames. During loading, characters’ dialogues pop up at random,” Kojima tweeted.

MGS HD Collection, which includes Peace Walker’s HD re-release as well, will release in November for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Konami, Japanese publishers of the world-famous franchises Metal Gear and Castlevania, have reported a profit of 245% in Q1 of their foscal year, as compared to the same period of last year, confirms 1UP.

Konami has attributed this huge improvement to the newly released Metal Gear Solid game on the PSP, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, which sold 147 million units in this period (April to June).

While Peace Walker boosted Konami’s profit a whomping 40%, their DS game, Love Plus, which is sadly, a girlfriend sim, pushed the sales forward by 18%.

“Sales of Peace Walker progressed steadily, with the game receiving favorable reviews-it became the first PSP title to receive a perfect score of 40 points in an industry magazine’s cross review. Furthermore, co-op modes, etc., which leverage the characteristic features of handheld gaming devices, are being well received by hardcore Metal Gear fans,” Konami stated.

Kojima thinks that consoles will die, and another surprise.

This morning Konami held a Press Conference in which Kojima said that he thinks that home consoles will be dead and the future, and that portable gaming is what will come on top.

“In the near future, we’ll have games that don’t depend on any platform, gamers should be able to take the experience with them in their living rooms, on the go, when they travel — wherever they are and whenever they want to play. It should be the same software and the same experience.” Said Kojima.

Hiroshi Kawano, the SCEJ boss responded to Kojima’s comment by saying:

“We hope he continues to develop for platforms, but we deeply respect his sense of taking on a challenge.”

Another i would like to mention, is that in this Press Conference, in which yesterday we said that Kojima is going to announce something big related to Peace Walker, Kojima announced that there will be a collaboration with Capcom, which will bring a new bonus mode in the game in which…..Snake is a….Monster Hunter! That’s right, Monster Hunters and Metal Gear Solid will unite as a bonus mode in the soon to be released Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

‘There is no greater crime’ says Kojima on game delays

Will Kenny — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:35:53 +0000

Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind the Metal Gear Solid series, has claimed that although it’s all the rage now to push back game release dates, ‘There is no greater crime’.

On his blog, Kojima wrote, “I always preach to the staff, ‘You must not have a delay after a release date has been announced. There is no greater crime as a game developer.”

And in response to the delay on MGS: Peace Walker,

“Official announcement of a release date is nothing less than a promise to fans and business partners. In other words, a release date change is like betraying the expectations of everyone. It probably takes a long time to earn back trust [from the fans] that has been lost. However we will work hard, with the hope that we will one day earn the support of everyone again.”

Well schucks, it sure is nice to have an apology, which is a good bit better than what most developers attempt.
