Konami is announcing something live at

http://youtu.be/4kDuhrhJNMA

The title of the video says something about Dune?

What's the point of a countdown if you're not going to start when it ends?

@rasmoss: What did you expect, its Konami

It's Kojima's post-modern critique of modern E3 press conferences.

He has replaced the pomp and circumstance with an enduring silence and peaceful "Stand by."

@truthtellah: He played us like a damn fiddle

@truthtellah:

This is actually the opening cutscene for MGS5.

What the heck is this? Is it fake? I wanna go to bed.

Its finally starting(?)

Edit: They are having technical difficulties

Its really happening

*waits over a hour*

The ashes are all cold now...

Was that the trailer that leaked before E3?

@gtcknight: Yup, but it was also leaked in english. The dialogue at the end is basically Snake saying they will make diamonds out of the ashes of the people who died in the assault on mother base, as a shining light on the battlefield.

@corruptedevil: Thanks.

Quick question then I've never played a MGS game before, so I was curious is it a requirement to have played every MGS game in order to understand what is happening?

I never played them due to a busted demo of the first MGS in a store that pissed me off, thus I didn't buy it. Only realized it was busted when I saw how that section is finished online years later.

@gtcknight: It's set before MG1. Playing MGS3 and Peace Walker is recommended since those are both before this and set it up.

@corruptedevil: Interesting, might go read a wiki to catch up then. I already have growing number of games in backlog right now.

MGS: V has been getting me more and more interested for awhile now.

Starting to wonder if getting Ground Zeros would be beneficial to me.

What the hell did I just watch?

So did ANY actual news come out of this?

Suikoden VI confirmed.

@demoskinos: To my knowledge no it was Primarily a kind of recap of their time at E3 for people living in Japan. I stopped watching once it got to the movie corner with Kojima.

It was apart of some series that Kojima productions does (never knew about it until now).

EDIT: @corruptedevil: Huh, that was new didn't know that. It had the look of some thing they had shown before.

Sorry about that @demoskinos and @theacidskull.

@demoskinos: Doesn't....seem like it?

Any OTHER news aside from Metal Gear?

Any mention of Castlevania?

@theacidskull: No news about anything other than what they have available at E3 regarding MGS. They pulled a livestream of the folks that are at E3 (in this case from their hotel room) to talk about what it was like to be there. Then showed the full JP version of the trailer that was leaked before E3.

My order of events is off trailer then hotel room.

@demoskinos They showed some new gameplay from MGSV. It was part of the backstage demo IGN was talking about with balloon sheep.

WHAT?! Is it archived anywhere?!

No announced release date for MGS5? Damn...shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

Even in footage, there's still no clear shot of the shadow! UGH! If Phantom Pain comes out and the damn shadow still doesn't have hair I will LOSE MY GOD DAMN MIND.
