Konami has recently released a trailer for its Metal Gear Solid 3-themed Pachinko game, showing off several scenes in the Fox Engine (which was used to power Metal Gear Solid V). Several minigames were shown in the trailer, including a chibi version of Virtuous Mission and a minigame based on Snake’s first confrontation with Ocelot.
The quality of the scenes has prompted some theories that the assets for the Pachinko game may have come from a cancelled remake of
Metal Gear Solid 3. This may mean that the Pachinko version will be a fully-fledged remake of the classic Snake Eater installment from the MGS franchise.

SEGA originally predicted net sales of $1.7 billion during the current financial year, but now expects $1.3 billion. SEGA’s CEO Hajime Satomi blames the revenue reduction from its Pachinko and slot machines.
So this is what it has come to. Months after the official cancellation of Silent Hills, a franchise revival of Silent Hill by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, Konami has announced the next entry in the franchise. Don’t get your hopes up though. It’s not coming to consoles or PC or anything like that. It’s going to casinos.
