Praise Be, Konami's Doing Another Pre-E3 Press Conference

Because there has to be, right?

Yes, friends, it’s true: Konami is holding another pre-E3 press conference. This is amazing news. It’s happening on Thursday, May 31 at 10:30 p.m PST and will be streamed live on Konami’s website.

No details on what the company will actually show, with the press release only teasing “advance showings of the new releases, exclusive game trailers and insightful interviews of key titles.” So, E3 stuff.

It remains unclear whether Konami knows the real reason people watch their pre-E3 (or during E3, as is the case with the video above) press conference, but we’ve gotten at least one really amazing moment each year, so you, me, and everyone else will be tuning in. What will be this year’s transfarring, this year’s one meeeeeeellion troops?

It’s a good bet Metal Gear Rising: Revengence will be shown in some capacity, but what about Hideo Kojima’s secretive Project Ogre? What happened to that WayForward-developed Silent Hill game for Vita that was supposed to come out in March? Konami has been teasing out what might very well be a sequel to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and details on the Lords of Shadow-connected spin-off on 3DS have started making the rounds.

If nothing else, we’ll probably get some good tweets from ol’ Tak Fujii. Are you following him on Twitter? You should.

Aw I'm sure it'll be the same as last year what with the pre-recorded and approved stuff. It still managed to be kind of bizarre in a way, but boring and not nearly as amazing as Konami 2010. Unbeatable.

Is this going to be an actual press conference or just another pre-recorded event?

I doubt they can top E3 2010, but I certainly hope they will.

A sequel for Lords of Shadow would make me really happy. I actually really liked that game and with the way it ended, it needed a sequel. Seriously, that ending was nuts.

Their 2010 conference was legendary, it really seemed like a missed opportunity to not have another conference last year. They would have had increased attendees/viewers, just because people wanted to see if they'd put on another hilarious show.

Bring back Tak Fuji and I'm guaranteed to watch this.

Transfarring.

Even when they TRIED to not be weird, they still were. It'll be funny no matter what they do, or they try to do it. It's unavoidable.

Konami are like a series of mystery doors when it comes to E3 except you know whatever is behind them is going to be really stupid, but what exactly it will be is completely unpredictable.

Lords of Shadow had a really great feel to it. That could be a break out franchise again if they play it right.

More Transfarring awesomeness. They'll just say that they are working on stuff that can't talk about now. Konami will not make any official announcements until TGS.
