Siliconera reports that Konami has recently filed a trademark for "Genso Suikoden" in the US. Yeah, it's for the Japanese series name, which kinda dilutes the possibility of an actual new game in the long-running RPG series. Still, the chance for another game is there.

And we shall definitely be looking forward to Konami's presentation at the upcoming E3 2009. The company is hyping up their attendance by promising "surprise guests and revolutionary announcements".

And finally, this is really it! There's no stopping E3 now! The committee for the E3 Expo 2009 has now released the floor plans for the said event. Posted over at their official website are the layouts for the West Hall, South Hall, and the 2nd Level Directory. Details after the jump.

Just as promised, Konami's teaser website for Kojima Productions' next project has opened its gates with blustery winds and flying cows (umm right, is Helen Hunt in the house?).

So what game is it? Gives a bit of a Heavy Rain vibe, but maybe that's just me. Some are already linking this to that "Tornado Outbreak" listing found a couple days ago, but only time will tell.

Nothing major is really happening console-side this week. The console versions of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel are finally seeing a release after a few delays and the subsequent bankruptcy of game developer Ascaron. Wii owners, meanwhile, get Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus and Help Wanted. On the handheld side of things, the Sony PSP gets no love at all. The DS gets some, at least, but it's aimed mostly towards the 12 and under set. Strategy gamers on a budget should check out the PC releases, though. There are a couple of good games in there.

Konami has announced another Revolution game for 7th-generation consoles, this time opting to go for a more party approach with the Blitz Games singing sensation Karaoke Revolution. This version of Karaoke Revolution will be drastically different from the one that's already available on PS2, though. More details and a few screenshots in the full article.

It's all business this week as we've got some of the hottest updates for some of the hottest upcoming games on all platforms across the board. Big industry news as well, and a lot of other surprises. Speaking of surprises, though, the QJ staff had quite a number of our own surprises for you avid readers out there. In case you missed it, too bad. But you don't have to feel bad about it much longer, cos we've got it all bundled nice and warm for you here in our QuickJump QuickPeek issue #67!

IGN's calling it: Silent Hill: Shattered  Memories "is shaping up to be one of the best games we've seen on Nintendo's console, period." That's a lot of fighting words right there. And maybe they've got the basis to say that. Check out the newly-revealed gameplay information and screenshots and you be the judge for yourself.

Last week, Konami unveiled the reinvention of its first Silent Hill classic, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Today, we've got the first artwork of the game, headed to the PS2, PSP, and Wii. We've also picked up on more interesting gameplay details, particularly on the extensive use of the Wiimote for controls.

This would be according to the magazine Nintendo Power, complete with front page cover and all. According to the issue, Tomm Hullet, Associate Producer for Konami, describes Shattered Memories as "a reimagining of the first Silent Hill. It's not a remake or a port. That's an important distinction. It really feels like a new game."
