Metal Gear Solid 5 Phantom Pain logoKonami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced that it will premiere a live gameplay presentation of the highly anticipated METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. E3, the largest trade show for the interactive entertainment industry, will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 10-12. At E3, KONAMI (South Hall #701) will host a series of presentations in a dedicated theater by invitation only that will mark the first in-depth demonstration of Hideo Kojima’s most ambitious addition to the METAL GEAR SOLID universe.

Following the recently released prologue (METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES), METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN concludes the METAL GEAR SOLID V experience by following the story of the protagonist of the series, Big Boss (a.k.a. Snake). The METAL GEAR SOLID V experience is Creator and Director Hideo Kojima’s first time incorporating open world gameplay to the groundbreaking METAL GEAR franchise.

The theater presentation will showcase approximately 30 minutes of gameplay, focusing on new features and a walkthrough of a portion of the game. Members of the Kojima Productions team will play the game live, showing key elements of the expansive open-world environment, its photorealistic graphics, and the freedom offered to players in the game. Attendees will be shown how the Close Quarters Combat (CQC) elements have evolved. In addition, the presentation will illustrate how the dynamic environment, including the changing weather and the differences between night and day, impacts the famed stealth-based gameplay. The freedom of movement, use of various modes of transport and key infiltration techniques will also be shown in their many forms.

In addition to the gameplay presentation, KONAMI has also revealed a stunning new trailer for METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN. The trailer is an extended cut of the exclusive new footage that debuted during Sony’s E3 press conference, and highlights the descent of Snake as the game series takes on a darker, more serious tone. The cinematic trailer depicts the harsh realities of war and its many casualties.

PES2013 Full Logo_CMYK_blurKonami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today revealed a new trailer for the highly anticipated title, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014. The upcoming addition to the popular franchise will mark a new beginning for the series, with an all-new engine allowing for the most comprehensive advance for the Pro Evolution Soccer series since its inception.

The trailer highlights Pro Evolution Soccer 2014’s Trueball Tech and M.A.S.S features:

Trueball Tech: Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 centers everything on the ball including how it moves and how players use it. First touch and sublime control are what set certain players apart from others. The ability to not only read a pass, but to be one step ahead and to know what is needed to gain yards on an encroaching defender. Trueball Tech allows the player to trap or knock on a pass using the analogue stick with detailed bar-centric physics determining the weight shift of the player and the height and speed of the pass, as to how the player’s body will automatically shape to receive it. The Pro Evolution Soccer series has long since treated the ball as an individual entity, allowing the player huge amounts of freedom to pass into space, run on to a knocked-on counter, or produces short triangular passes to make space. Trueball Tech adds even more freedom, with full 360-degree control within several yards around the player and the ability to shield the ball from opposing players, use deft controls to wrong-foot them, and intuitive methods to master close control.

Motion Animation Stability System (M.A.S.S.): The physical combat between players is a vital part of a match, and the new M.A.S.S. component simulates the bodily contact between multiple players within tailored animations that segue seamlessly into each other. Rather than a series of preset animations that occur under specific circumstances, M.A.S.S. reacts instantly to any situation, with the reaction of a fouled player entirely dependent on the direction and force with which they are tackled. Dependent on factors such as their size and power, players will stumble but instantly recover if clipped, barge others off the ball, and use their stature to block players from possession. The integration of the M.A.S.S. element has also facilitated new advances in one-on-one situations. The individual battles between key players can determine the outcome of a match, so particular emphasis has been made on such battles in Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.
