Konami Pre E3 Show
June 6, in the year of our Lord 2013 – Konami
had their Pre E3 Show. This is pretty much a pre-planned video
where they show off a couple of games. TomoYuki Tsuboi – CEO
leads things off. He points out that Konami turns 40 this year.
He goes on to plug Dance Dance Revolution Classroom Editor. This
game encourages kids and adults to be more active. Partnerships
wit Dance Dance Revolution Classroom are referenced. They are
combating childhood obesity.
He promises to introduce cutting edge technology to the
industry. They want to bring joy and fun for the next forty
years. So did THQ before they went bankrupt.
Social Games Studio and John Coligan are up next. He references
Dragon Collection, MLB Dream Nine, Puzzle Chasers, Independent
Development Studios, Domo Jump, and MLB Live Challenge. From
there he references Orange County Development Studio and
gambling games. Gambling has torn apart way too many families.
PES 2014 is now up. This is the big one for this show, and the
one families will be most interested in. The new game engine –
fluidity is referenced. He also goes over the six elements -
from the recent press release. So really nothing new here,
except the video. Oh and the game is looking good.
Hideo Kojima is up next. Metal Gear goes even darker than before
- as if that were possible.
Avi Arad brought up Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of snake.
Another bloody, violent game that is going to hurt the image of
the industry.
More macabre in a new Castlevania game. David Cox mentions they
go even darker than before - noticing an anti-family trend here.
Wow great back to back anti-family games that will hurt the
overall image of the industry. We get a disgusting video at the
end. Pass on it, you can thank Family Friendly Gaming later.
Finally a thank you from the CEO, and plugs for their social
sites.
