A Twitter feed seemingly being updated by Kojima Productions is broadcasting coded messages which, we're guessing, may be relevant to the contents of the Konami press conference today at 3pm PST / 11pm BST.

...Lords of Shadow(s) [Castlvania]. If they do show it, I hope it's not a teaser, but some gameplay. If Kojima is involved, then it should be exciting.

iNcRiMiNaTi6201d ago

im not really a fan of the 3d ones and LOS didnt really catch my attention from the screens and teaser but if it IS castlevania i might give it a look.

i also remember seeing an article about the next castlevania having alucard so anything castlevania related right now sparks my interest

solidjun56201d ago

And if it's Kojima then sign me for a day 1 purchase. One of my favorite games on the Playstaion was SotN. The subsequent Castlevania games were good but SotN still holds a place in my heart. Especially the music in the game. What a soundtrack!!

BRACHATTACK6201d ago

Hey folks.

Incidentally, I was one of the people KojiPro started following. Only thing I could think of that triggered it was mentioning that "Mask" teaser site yesterday.

I noticed this though: To solve all the strings, you needed to go back a certain number of letters in the alphabet. For the first one you had to go back 3 letters, and so on. Anyway, I looked at all the numbers I had to go back, and realized something. 1st String: 3 letters, 2nd String: 1 letter, 3rd String: 19 letters, 4th String: 20 letters, 5th String: 12 letters, 6th String: 5 letters, 7th String: 22 letters, 8th String: 1 letter, 9th String: 14 letters, 10th String: 9 letters, 11th String: 1 letter. Now, look at those numbers again: 3, 1, 19, 20, 12, 5, 22, 1 , 14, 9, and 1.

If you compare those to their corresponding letter in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.), you get: 3=C, 1=A, 19=S, 20=T, 12=L, 5=E, 22=V, 1=A, 14=N, 9=1, and 1=A. In other words, Castlevania! WTF?

LJWooly6201d ago

Well done, Brachattack. I followed 'em and got a follow back too, but I wasn't able to work it out at all. Not that I REALLY put much effort into trying, however. ;D

If this is correct, then it's sexy news indeed. Hopefully it's a PS3 title, and a proper one at that.

Antan6201d ago (Edited 6201d ago )

Im gonna try and get some exclusive images once the announcement is out of the way.

iNcRiMiNaTi6201d ago (Edited 6201d ago )

sotn is by far the best in the series hands down. i bought 3 different versions and downloaded a saturn emulator so i could see the extra stuff they added

ps1,psp, sega saturn, and XBLA

i still remember the time i beat richter and i thought i was done...until i found out there was more after exploring a bit. a whole other castle i didnt know about. great game

and good catch brachattack. definitely hope this one turns out good.

edit: @1.7 yup, got em all in 2 days lol

maxcer6201d ago (Edited 6201d ago )

if it is a new castlevania i hope its for live/PSN and in 2D. unless they can actually make a decent 3D version then i'm all for it

edit:@1.6 lol, did you ever get the 200.6% cheeve?

morganfell6201d ago (Edited 6201d ago )

There was a rumor yesterday and even a post on N4G about an unannounced PS3 game coming today.

hay6201d ago

@BRACHATTACK: You've earned yourself a bubble, got to the same conclusion and the result clearly can't be a coincidence.

solidjun56201d ago

I also got that dreaded 200.6! Sucka took me a week of constant playing. Plus I started over becuase the first time, I didn't realized that there was another castle. Regardless, those were a helluva a good 2 weeks. ^_^

Antan6201d ago (Edited 6201d ago )

Kojima DOES have a part to play in LOS, i was told a week or so ago he didn`t so my bad, and now im told he DOES! lol.

He`s not as hands on as some people might think or like.

BLuKhaos6201d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if Kojima mixed different languages in there, I know I would.

Foxgod6201d ago

Nice, then we finally get an awesome 3d castlevania :)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle27d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7727d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde34d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy35d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12534d ago (Edited 34d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7736d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga36d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199235d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga35d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman35d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger35d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box36d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion35d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7236d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7535d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit35d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14936d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7736d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
