Konami Removes ‘Metal Gear Solid V’ Fan Art On Twitter For Copyright

Oh Konami, what on earth happened to you? What used to be a once great and revolutionary company that helped change the face of gaming has now become an empty former shell of what it originally was.

Everything from them splitting ways with MGS creator Hideo Kojima, to announcing a full on aggressive assault to only make mobile and pachinko games, Konami seems to have all but abandon their fans and common sense.

To continue in the path of recent blunders, the company seems to have found a new hobby, hating fan art. Just recently, a fan going by the twitter name @all_snake decided to draw some fan art of the recently released game, even catching eye of Kojima himself. Obviously Konami wasn’t too happy with people enjoying their products and showing their love for it, because after a couple of days, the image was no more.

While I wish I could be surprised by this, it’s just sad to see a company near and dear to many fall from grace so hard. I guess it’s only a matter of time before Konami starts suing people for playing the game itself.

‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’ To Include ‘Metal Gear Online’, Watch The Gameplay Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Konami debuted the first footage from their next iteration of the venerable Metal Gear Online at Friday’s VGA’s, and the company has now confirmed that MGO will debut as a piece of the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain retail package.

Yep, basically a whole ‘nother game included in what’s already set to be a lengthy package. In the “third iteration of the popular multiplayer game, newly redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of its companion single-player campaign Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. With a focus on Tactical Team Operations, the game features a ‘class system’ that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battle field. Key characters from the series including Venom Snake and Ocelot will also make appearances in the anticipated multiplayer feature.

Colour us excited. I actually missed out on Metal Gear Online last time around, and after hearing all of the praise for the last version, I really can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Take a look at the gameplay trailer below (don’t miss that ending) and be sure to let us know what you think!

Watch A New Gameplay Demo For ‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: TGS is now on in full swing, and earlier this morning Konami’s own Hideo Kojima took to the stage to give fans a brand-new gameplay demo of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

The demo showcases gameplay in the Ground Zeroes portion of the game, and as you’d expect, things look freaking phenomenal. Everything’s in Japanese, so I’m not really sure exactly what’s going on, but the video is definitely worth a watch.

Take a look at the new demo below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the title! Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain launches in 2014!
