Konami Announce Second Annual Pre-E3 Show
I love the games Konami put out (most of the time), and I’m already hyped for what they might show at E3, such as Zone of the Enders HD Collection, or Zone of the Enders 3, or, dare I hope, a new Metal Gear?!
Well, people like me who just can not wait till next week get the chance to see what’s going to be on show with Konami’s second annual pre E3 online showcase. No titles have yet been announced that we can look forward to but new trailers and interviews have been promised.
While I am excited to see what Konami have in store for us a few days before the show itself, I’m also a little torn by the fact this steals some of the glory away from E3. I remember a time when studios did everything they could to keep announcements from leaking out, rather successfully even, but now the strategy seems to be show it before hand so they get the glory rather than whoever uploads the footage to YouTube first.
Still, I’ll be there, and anybody who cares to join me can do so by visiting www.konami.com/e3 on June 1st at 0900 CEST (about 0800 here in the UK if I’ve got my time zones right (which I didn’t first time round, thanks James)) to watch the show.
