Konami E3 2012 Company Spotlight

Konami is opting for a pre-recorded press conference for the second year in a row, but that doesn’t mean the publisher isn’t bringing heat to E3. With powerhouse franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania, you can expect the Japanese giant to come out swinging. Here are some things to watch out for this year from the house that Frogger and Simon Belmont built.

Hey, I thought Lords of Shadow was great. YES, it's a lot like God of War 3. THAT GAME IS GOOD TOO.

[Myst]

Heard good things about it I should pick it up sometime or swipe it from my sister as I think she may have it :3

[DanCrabtree]

DO EET. FIGHT WEREWOLVES ON HORSEBACK.

konami: and now we present to you, the sequel to caslteviania lords of sha[WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE].............. CASTLEVANIA V!

2-D linear action based like the good old times!

[italianbreadman]

Yeah, Lords of Shadow was pretty rad. it did some things in terms of play mechanics that others have yet to try. All work very well.

[DragonKnight]

No Suikoden VI means meh for me.

[jc48573]

we need some good jrpgs.

[italianbreadman]

Hey! It's still a possibility! Maybe they will surprise us all!

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Would love for a Coded Arms title to hit the Vita....

[guitarded77]

I figured they would do the pre-recorded thing again. It's a safe move for Konami since they've had some of the more embarrassing moments at E3 in the past. Can't wait to check it out.

[DivineAssault]

i absolutely love castlevania! 2d the most but LOD was great.. thats why i bought a 3ds, ds, gba... i just hope these mercury steam guys make the 2d version good...

[italianbreadman]

They should make a DIRECT sequel with the same engine as the N64 Castlevania games.

No, they shouldn't.
