So what happened? Sadly, the magazine provides no details. However, you'll notice that none of the the cancelled games have actual names yet. It's possible that Konami had intended to make the games, but decided to go in a different direction.
CNET Asia reports that an upcoming 40GB PS3 bundle will include Konami's World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 collectibles such as a towel, whistle phone strap and calendars.
GameStation are selling the game for £24.99.
It's tempting but the game is not without its problems. I've been away for a few days, has there been more news on the patch?
Dont be scared! It is going to hurt just in beginning, after a few minute, giant Sonys d!ck is going to fly through you azz, fa.get!
LOL....I didn't see that line at first, and thought MGS4 was cancelled. :D 0_0
ok cool! for a second I thought it said MGS4 was cancelled!
Good thing MG4 was not cancelled. I would have been mad. (first post Hi!!)
So that means Coded Arms has not been cancelled.
Konami has been downsizing for awhile. They closed Hawaii's location and now cancelling games.
Dunno what is going on.
