    Oh god, Metal Gear Rising's bringing back Twin Snakes missile jumping but this time it actually makes sense in the context of the game.

    Because missile jumping was completely out of place in a story about psychic secret agents, huge mechs that screamed like dragons, and swords that deflect bullets. Yea, missile jumping was dumb. :rotate:

    So, it supposedly starts in less than five minute and I'm not seeing it on the websites.

    Last I checked, Snake wasn't psychic, a huge mech or deflecting bullets with a sword. Would you like to point out a point in the entire series when he's done anything like that?

    Anyway, Tomb Raider looks pretty good but they really need to figure out the audio. We don't need Lara talking/groaning/screaming through the entire fucking game thanks.

    Ever since 2010 (I would go as far back as '08), Konami's Live pressers were train wrecks. This is to ensure that doesn't happen again.

    I've been asking this for a few days now but why on earth did anyone expect otherwise? Last years was pre-taped as well, the only "insanity" was entirely on purpose (unless you think Mega 64 are serious film-makers).

    Psycho Mantis, Metal Gear, and Grey Fox. I'm not saying Snake was a 50' tall bullet deflecting psychic mecha. I'm saying that him bouncing off missiles isn't exactly the dumbest thing in the universe.

    TTS pretty much took the game's already Michael Bay-esque setting and embraced it for real.

    I believe thus was advertised as "live" so we expected the potential for crazy.

    I know what you were referring to, I have played the game. My point was that Snake was a relatively normal guy compared to the other "freaks" you mentioned. Making him a missile jumping super soldier kinda hurts the underdog thing.

    Though I should probably point out that the cutscenes aren't the reason why I think it's a stupid game. It's a stupid game because the game itself is broken.

    It was never going to be unintentionally funny though. Konami were pissed at their 2010 conference.

    We did get another Mega 64 segment though.

    Doesn't Snake have a headband that secretes bullets?

    ZOE HD looks gorgeous.

    Metal Gear Rising Demo to be included in ZOE... I find that hilarious after the release of the original game.

    and god DAMN that Castlevania LoS2 trailer was awesome.

  • Shady3011Shady3011 Registered User regular
    Lords of Shadow 2 surprising nobody. Glad to see they're continuing the dumb plot from the first game.

    Can't believe I stayed up for that crap.

    But yeah, ZoE HD looks HOT, and I have the PS2 version, so I see the difference.

    Loved the mega64 ending. Birthday Metatron!

    You guys realise the rumours said it's a Lord of Shadows tie-in, right? No Iga.

    Anyway, I can't say I'm too impressed today's reveals. Tomb Raider's audio sucked, Dishonored looked like a Bioshock knock-off, Star Wars had no f'n footage, LOTR had no f'n gameplay and Castlevania: LoS2 doesn't interest me (the first bored me to tears). Metal Gear Rising was the only highlight.

    Edit: And ZoE HD I guess, even though I've already played both.

    Why do you assume that had a point? It was a question, as I'm unsure of what people are expecting, more Igavania or more God of Vania.

    Good point. My only apprehension is them working on two games at the same time. Maybe their team is bigger than I'm thinking it is.
