Easily my favorite part of the conference. Yeah dudes they're gonna dedicate time to Vib-Ribbon at this multi-million dollar event. Be real now.
They fucking *did* dedicate time to it, that's the insane part! They had it up on the big screen behind them and talked lovingly about it for a minute just to introduce Mortal Kombat X. You can't think of anything more logical to introduce that trailer? Really?
Weren't you paying attention? Shawn Laydan was introducing himself and talking about one of his early projects which shows his longevity with the company and impresses the special fellow weeb diehards who know that game as a bonus. That was the only point of that, to communicate that the brand new CEO is not a new guy and has roots with the Japanese ownership.
Sure it was a highly incongruous segue into an unrelated game but you DO show off MK or an indie darling, not some obscure Japanese game that no one gives a fuck about.

I do think Vib Ribbon is a neat game. :shh
