Konami's ... Press ... Conference ...
... Seriously though, it was hilariously bad. The first half was pretty much a series of mediocre presentations by bizarre Japanese people, all trying to speak English... it was so weird... they had bad jokes -- I admit, I laughed to the joke where the guy "acted out" the action in the game, for that game where the guy can lose body parts... it was so crazy-weird... oh, and the (real!) Mexican wrestlers were entertaining too. They also had a guy from Def Jam, but that part was more "we think this game is so awesome and innovative" than ridiculous. But there was a lot more ridiculous there, such as the N3II guy with the crazy jacket who kept trying to hype up the crowd for his game, which is a sequel to a game mostly considered mediocre. And the DDR guy... uh, why are you two dancing to the screen when there is obviously no Natal (sorry, Kinect) there to play on... and that's not starting with everything else about him... A whole chorus from some TV show "Glee" was there too, they replayed the same MGS Rising trailer from MS's conference and then followed it up with a long, somewhat boring section with the producer talking about the game (in Japanese, with a translator)... Oh, and the conference finished with name-drops, but NO VIDEO, of Konami's five upcoming 3DS games. Yeah, it was that kind of conference. Part painfully bad, part dull, all unforgettably bizarre.
I highly recommend anyone who wants an entertaining hour and a half to two hours watches it as soon as it shows up in full on Gametrailers, G4TV, or something like that! :D
As for the games... um... sorry, too hard to think...
I will say, though, that both Castlevania games, Iga's 2d downloadable title and the 3d action game, look pretty good. Lost in Shadow from Hudson looks fantastic as well. Some of the 3DS titles sound great. Some other games that weren't in the conference such as the downloadable Hard Corps title sound awesome. N3 II could be an entertaining hack and slash game, who knows. MGS Rising and Silent Hill were there too of course, for series fans (though Rising does look like it could be fun). So yeah, some decent stuff there. But really, not many people are going to watch this for the games. ... Sorry, just thinking about all the silliness of that conference is pretty amusing...
