Is there going to be a GB commentary stream on the Konami Press Conference tonight/tomorrow?

Alternatively, as I guess the guys could be busy getting ready for E3, are there any chances of the chat being left up for the conference?

(as of posting, I believe the conference starts in 6 hours - 3am baby!)

ED: I realise it's pre-recorded :D , but it'll be going up simultaneously everywhere, and Gamespot has a streaming page for it.

If its like last year it is just a video So it would not make much sense. But still would be cool but I doubt it^^

@darji: They did it a couple of years ago, I'm certain of it.

Not sure if that was live or not... but I have distinct memories of the dudes sitting on a couch heckling the conference. (which is the kind of quality content I tune in for)

They did? Do you have a link? I can't find it but want to watch it^^

thanks to @prestige 's awesome TNT listing and google.

@selfconfessedcynic: I believe darji means the actual conference was pre-recorded last year and they just streamed out the video, which obviously ruined the fun for everyone >:(

It would be cool if GB did something for it, it's the sort of conference where the actual information is about 3% of the reason you watch it (although that should be different this year with Metal Gear stuff), so it'd be fun having a stream and the chat. I am actually excited for E3 this year for the first time in a while, so more ways to enjoy the coverage would not go unappreciated!

Yeah.. MGSV first gameplay of Castlevania and so on. Would be great.

@selfconfessedcynic

Somehow the link does not work. Or better the video will not start..

Wasn't it pre-recorded in 2011 as well?

Here's the GB link to that video archive, and I can confirm it works;

ED: Starts at roughly 1h38-ish and I can also confirm it was HELLA pre-recorded in 2011. This shit is still hilariously bad/good.

THX^^

No wonder I did not found that. But yeah that was pretty bad sadly I think they don't do any live conferences anymore because 2010 was sooooo bad for them. But this year is pretty big...

Fuck yeah it's pretty big this year, as y'all said. MGS5 and Castlevania 2 are two games I can't wait to see more of.

@selfconfessedcynic: I could have sworn that was in 2012 =( Damn you time!

It should, at least, be available on giantbomb.com/chat so people can watch it together.

The whole conference should be hosted by Zobek, followed by rampant discussion on whether or not he was CG.

Oh fuck, I just got to the Transfarring stuff in the 2011 conference video.

Best.

Agreed.

Fuck, I loved everything to do with the ridiculously indulgent and overblown lead up to a game we'd all guessed with the first trailer :D

I wish Kojima was in charge of all advertising.
