Continue the game production and established a new company , to be seen to be sold in such as a game machine for the " PlayStation (PS) ," Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). We set up a subordinate and the new company of Konami era . Version of the masterpiece " Metal Gear " series ..

*edit* So pretty much exactly as you said but with terrible grammar
