E3: Konami Press Conference in Progress


So Konami is holding their E3 Press Conference as I type this and I am getting all the action straight from Kotaku's liveblogging service. Very nice Kotaku... very nice.

-Anywho, right now, they are showing a trailer for Brad's most anticipated game of the year, Castlevania: Judgement (I think this is the title). Yes folks, that is the 3D castlevania fighting game for the Wii! (as for as im concerned, this is passable so I will leave the details to Brad... if he so wishes to cover it)

- Come on! Show me some new Silent Hill!!

-They made some announcements concerning Metal Gear Online expansions to be available July 17th.. isn't that tomorrow?

- Also, Konami will also have an official booth for their new music game, "Rock Revolution" at Linkin Park's next tour... I'm not quite sure what this means but if I go to one of these shows, I will be sure to bring you the scoop.

-New Silent Hill trailer!! Can't wait.

Ill post more after they actually reveal some of this footage. Anywho, thanks Kotaku for bringin us the scoop as it happens.

More E3 Nintendo Impressions

While broadcasting last night there was a moment which perfectly captured my opinions about Nintendo's E3 Press Announcement. Here it is in video form.



PS - I still love you Nintendo, but come on, you deserved it.

E3: Interview Extravaganza

So here is some more footage from various demonstrations that have really caught my eye:
2 Parts of a developer walkthrough of Prince of Persia. I feel really excited about this game but I need to feel how the controls work. Im sure it will be fine based on Ubisofts history in making simple controls but I still want to get behind the wheel... soon.



Developer Interview with Producer of Far Cry 2: Game still looks great. My only concern at this point is that the story will take a backseat to the open world gameplay.


Interview with producer of Dead Space: I wasn't excited about this game at first but it has definitely grown on me. Looks very disgusting and intense... I like that.


Interview with Producer of Mirrors Edge: This just might be my game of show this year. The game looks fantastic and I cant wait to experience the game with it launches this winter.

A mutant killed with a Bear Launcher - Fallout 3 Gameplay




Oh the possibilities!


Brad

New Mad Word Trailer! - Godhand 2?



I see a similar tone and possibly similar combat style to Godhand. This excites me.


Brad

This is not geo-modding. Where is my geo-modding!?!?!



This is cool. But if I can't tunnel through a mountain to flank my enemies, I'm gonna be mad.

E3: I Am Alive Teaser Trailer

You may have heard us joke around about this game during our last podcast because Jade Raymond is indeed involved in this title. However, I see this trailer and see potential for a fun game depending on how they approach the gameplay. The premise revolves around a character named Adam who struggles to survive after a large natural disaster occurs. The trailer suggests that natural resources such as water have become rare and have created hostility between other survivors. I still want to see some gameplay and see what the overall concept is. Anywho, the trailer looks interesting and I will be keeping my eyes on this one.
