Some of the most exciting news to come out of the 2005 Tokyo Game Show today was that Konami is already developing a brand new PlayStation 3 shooter in its always-popular Gradius franchise. Though no other details about the game were given, Sony Computer Entertainment did confirm that the game exists and that it's coming for the company's highly sought-after system.

[Amir0x]

LOL, we are WAAAAY past winning man. This stuff is just extra credit.

Man, I'm talkin' about as a gamer. The gamers are FOR THE WIN...










...ok, yeah, at this point PS3 is pretty much going for the win too.

 

[Endymion]

This totally made my day. I love you Konami [preorders 2 copies]

Well the game is a win by default. Gradius is a classic

 

[NotMSRP]

Question is it 2D or 3D?

 

[callous]

This is .... very good news.

Is it just me, or is TGS kicking E3's ass this year?

 

[Fafalada]

The console war, it is over.

 

[drohne]

treasure developed, pls.! though gradius gaiden was just as good as gradius v, so konami would be perfectly capable of handling it themselves.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Nice. Shooters seem to have somehow come back from the void a little with the next-gen...well, at least, with the X360 and PS3, anyway.

 

[Kleegamefan]

OH SNAP

 

[Ceb]

Hory shit, that's sweeeet.

 

[Ranger X]

PS3 + 1000000

 

[slidewinder]

Kickass No word if Treasure is involved again, huh?

 

[Striek]

Oh snap, this will be awesome.

PS3 + 1000000

Which officially puts it at 2.7086306841194215922935353991565e+35^99+1. Awesome.

 

[dark10x]

Sony has absolutely dominated TGS!

Question is it 2D or 3D?

Probably 3D like Gradius V. Why would it be any different?

 

[sonycowboy]

News Release:

Sony has agreed in principle to buy Konami :lol

They are Sony East PS2, PSP, & PS3.

 

[NotMSRP]

Gradius V is classified under the 2D category.

 

[dark10x]

Gradius V is classified under the 2D category.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were talking graphics or gameplay.

It's 3D graphics with 2D gameplay...which is probably what the PS3 version will be.

 

[grendelrt]

OMG best announcement yet for me! Thank you Konami! Now wheres my new R-Type announcement.....

 

[Troidal]

Gradius VI? Woohoo!

 

[Johnas]

Fantastic news.

Imagine how crisp and clear this game will look...Gradius V is already gorgeous. Hopefully VI won't come out so late in the console's life cycle, like V did. It shouldn't though, given this early announcement. I really wish it was a launch title, but we can't have everything, now can we?

 

[∀ Narayan]

PS3 + 1000000

Damn straight!

 

[Tiktaalik]

Another one of my favourite game series' will appear on the PS3. I'm excited. I hope PS3 actually does come out in Spring.

 

[swordsman]

Typical Konami... No xbox360 version....?
First MGS 4 and now this ...
If so..you can go to hell Konami.

I don't want to buy a ps3.

 

[teiresias]

You want to buy a PS3 and a Rev - Super JAPAN Combo Gaming!!!!!

 

[dark10x]

Err, why not? Did you own a PS2? How could you expect anything different? Konami is seemingly approaching the PS3 in the same way they did PS2. It's not as if Konami was big on XBOX...

 

[ourumov]

I am sure this time the final game will be as good as V and not what 3&4 was...it was good but not on par with V or Gaiden.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

COCK AM HARD TOTAL

Fuck awesome.

 

[trmas]

Well now we know which side Konami is laying their cards with. Now I've got to edit my PS3 list to include Gradius. Man, it's getting long - good times!!

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

I bought a PS2 because of Gradius V, no joke. Looks like I'll be getting a PS3 also :lol

 

[Zaphod]

Too bad there's not a pouty face smiley here for ya.

 

[Wario64]

Gradius...2D action...next gen...i just pooped my pants

 

[Geek]

TTIUWOP

I want to see Gradius VI screens on PS3 so bad I can taste it. In fact, I'd kill some homeless just for a blurry camera phone snap.

Please bring back the GV team, Konami. Don't fuck it up.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Awesome news.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Awesome Keep it 2D or else...

Konami also has 3 unnamed games coming to the PS3

Konami has announced six games for the PlayStation 3 thus far. Aside from Metal Gear Solid 4 and the new Gradius, the company is developing a new installment in its Jikkyou Pro Baseball series, as well as three unnamed games in different genres: a soccer game, a new action game, and a new role-playing game.

It's not hard to figure out what the soccer game will be. The roleplaying seems most likely to be a Suikoden.

[Elios83]

OMG please let the action game be a new Zoe game!!!

 

[acklame]

2D? 3D? 2.5D?

WHERE IS SILENT HILL "NEXT"?

And if it, for some freak reason, was in development for X360 - wouldn't it have been announced by now...? =/

Those 3 games?

-Winning Eleven
-New Suikoden
-Castlevania

 

[teiresias]

WHERE IS SILENT HILL "NEXT"?

It was canned in favor of starting development on "Silent Biohazard" in light of the impending merger.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Sensory overload...

Gradius V is my favorite PS2 game, so I'm VERY happy about this.

 

[Ironclad]

2.5 D all the way. Damn, the hits just keep coming one after the other.
