If it's Contra, I bet they'll turn it into a generic third person shooter instead of a classic run 'n gun.
I wish Rising 2 wasn't effected either.
Hmm, I doubt they're working on a Konami-owned property then if they're not owned by the publisher.
That Metroid rumour up there is interesting.
Hopefully it's rising 2 and it's bad
It wasn'tNot sure if I want Rising 2 without Kojima's batshit writing.
Rising 1 was written by Kojima, was it not?
It wasn't
Etsu Tamari wrote MGR, but it was 8-4 who localized it.I'd love to know who came up with that brilliant speech during the last boss.
Shit was crazy.

Well, they were working on a prototype. Maybe after all the bad backlash federation force is getting they gave them a go ahead to make it.
I'd rather have Federation Force than a Mercury Steam made Metroid game.

I have a feeling this will be a smaller title like Mirror of Fate and not a full blown AAA game.
I would be shocked if they were still working with Konami.
IIRC, didn't this company have a crazy tell-all article where former employees spilled the beans on how terrible the management and working conditions were? I'd not heard about them since that article.
Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate on a New 3DS running NTR CFW (allows games normally locked to old 3ds clock rates to run at new 3ds clock rates) at max 3d is really incredible. MercurySteam seem like pretty technically impressive developers actually, I'd argue they made the best looking 3ds game (beating out Resident Evil Revelations and IronFall).
Really frustrating devs dont/cant patch this stuff in officially :-(
Looks like tomorrow will announce the game.

I downloaded the video from the site and it gives me this image
Is it just me or does that sound kind of ominous? Like if they were about to announce a rebranding of the studio, or shifting to something new (mobile games?).
To be fair the Art Director that worked with them during Lord of Shadows left and, apparently, went to work at Tequila (the RiME developers) and they also suffered a lot of talent bleeding during the messy development of Lords of Shadows 2 which ended up with the game have a VERY inconsistent art with some areas being absolutely gorgeous and a lot of them being horrid trash.They have the best artists in gaming though, so there's reason to be excited.
