Can't happen again  :'(  They'll either be aware and try hard or do like last year and actively avoid embarrassment, transfarring notwithstanding.

They prerecorded their conference last year, they're not doing that again are they? Given they're putting it on at like 1AM EST I'd hope it isn't just a video dump.

some stuff has already been shown

Metal Gear Rising has some slower sections with stealth, more 'cutting' from the original version.

Castlevania Lords of Shadows 2 continues after the first.  Seems like Alucard might be the main character (?)  oh, and a drawbridge powered wooden mech or something.

Konami must be squeezing money to not be able to rent a conference hall. No one ever remembers these upload to Youtube videos.

I cant imagine CotM being more expensive to make than LoS.
Title: Re: Konami E3 Conference
Post by: Bebpo on June 01, 2012, 09:35:08 AM
pretty funny they call lords of shadow the most successful castlevania game of all time

its combined sales across both platforms are less than half of circle of the moon

DLC?

My only issues with LOS were the progression and the combat. Graphics were great, and the overall story wasn't bad.
Title: Re: Konami E3 Conference
Post by: Momo on June 01, 2012, 10:05:51 AM
Things I take out of that statement :
- LoS was probably cheap to make
- CotM's price point was too low too low to make it really profitable
- DLC having separate budgets is most likely bullshit

eh actually not sure where I was going with the DLC thing, but it's a thought I had (albeit dumb and unfiltered)

I had no idea it was that popular. It's certainly one of the least talked about modern Castlevanias.

I played it on a GBA SP, so it was cool. It was in japanese and pretty kanji heavy so I didn't play it properly though

That is what I meant by progression. There was a lot of fat that could have been cut.

Why does Raiden moves like a lizard? It's like his feet are all sticky or something.

Game looks OK but it needs less dumb Koji drama and more of cheesy Platinum Games style.

I think this game will be awesome provided you just skip the cutscenes, that's how I played Bayonetta and I had a fuckin' blast

Used to be disappointed about Konami handing over to Platinum, because I wanted my 500 different ways to slice watermelon.

But after this trailer, I think I'd rather slice up 500 different things.  :-*
