Konami holding pre-E3 show again, probably won't be extreme

The countdown ends in 16 days, which I think is the 31st of May/1st of June depending on where you are in the world. I'm sure someone better with numbers can get an exact time/date. I assume it'll be just a stream of a recording like last year.

2010 never forget :(
 
GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!

Konami you had the most amazing thing ever in 2010, why follow 2011's type movie? At least let Tak Fuji make a guest apperance so your shitty movie is worth watching.
 
"Which of your favorite Konami characters will be going head-to-head in our Character Battle?"

What is this GameFAQs BS?

PS3 port of Beatmania Tricoro or bust!
 
We'll never have a E3 conference like the one Konami had two years ago ever again :(

I hope we'll see some footage from the sequel to Castlevania LoS and MGSR.

not sure what there was to be embarrassed about. I actually played Ninety-Nine Nights 2 because of it.

Thats too bad. They should be embarrassed about last year's train wreck.

Fuck Konami.

Not gonna argue with you guys there, their 2010 show was amazing. But, you know, they were kind of the laughing stock of the gaming community for months afterwards, and it's since raised questions about what the fuck is going on in Konami?

Our entertainment was their humiliation.

Well, yes, but people talked about them. Last year people forgot that Konami existed instead.

I don't really remember what happened during their 2011 pre-taped thingy other than transfarring. I don't even remember what they even announced.

I remember nearly everything about the 2010 conference, and it isn't really because it kept playing and playing and playing after it officially finished. And to be fair, I still ask "what the fuck is going on in Konami" since they don't really develop their own stuff anymore outside of KojiPro and Benami stuff. The last Genso Suikoden game was developed by them, but it had a very very small budget and it really showed while playing it.

Following it up with a conference that had like all of three games and then a 30 minute Mega 64 skit was not the best way to combat that.
Their business practices in 2011 have me questioning Konami more than an earnest, if outright bizarre conference ever did.

We need the gif in here. Everybody's announcing something? We announce nothing. Brilliant.

And even if they wanted to, there's no way they could do it again without it feeling forced.

We'll always have 2010.
 
Didn't the wonderfully insane 2010 show get them a lot of positive press in the gaming community, and draw attention to games that would normally have been easily overlooked?

They should be trying to beat it for sheer madness, year after year, so that the entire gaming industry looks forward to what these madmen will do next. Its fun publicity that would gain viewers, and enable exposure for their games to a slightly wider audience.

Instead, we get another boring canned video of generic industry interviews just like last year that very few people care about - other than MGS fans I suppose.

Such a shame, for us and Konami.
 
Does anyone have a link to the entire uneditied Confrence from 2010? I haven't watched it since the loop and after this news I need something to pick me back up.
 
Oh shit, I completely forgot about the Iga torture show. That was so sad it even had Iga haters feeling bad for the man.

I need a repeat of this kinda shit Konami, why pass up this chance to torture the poor man?
 
TruePrime said:
Thank you.

Never be the same without the Gaf reactions. The confrence was great, but I think the thread that followed it was even better.
Click to expand...

I have to agree. Anytime I get done with watching the conference I reread the reactions on gaf to get extra laugh mileage.
 
There goes one source of E3 gifs. :(

Oh well. We still have MS and Ubisoft.

EDIT: LOL MY READING


I really hope it's funny this year.
 
Sooner you guys notice that a show of the caliber of Konami's 2010 show will never be seen ever again, the better for your sanity.

Sorry guys, it's just the truth. Extreeeeeme no more.
