While E3 doesn't actually start until next Monday tomorrow is Konami's pre-E3 conference so might as well have a thread already.
The conference schedule and a few other things of note:
Konami tomorrow at 10 AM pacific, 1 PM EST.
Microsoft Monday June 10th 9:30 pacific, 12:30 EST, post conference Q&A has been cancelled as mentioned in the XBOX One thread.
EA Monday June 10th 1 PM pacific, 4 PM EST.
Ubisoft Monday June 10th 3 PM pacific, 6 PM EST.
Sony Monday June 10th 6 PM pacific, 9 PM EST.
While Nintendo has opted out of a normal conference they will have a Nintendo Direct Tuesday 7 AM pacific, 10 AM EST. Nintendo is going to do demos of various E3 games at Best Buys across the country because online demos are still a concept Nintendo cannot wrap their brains around. A list of participating Best Buys is available here (http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=39115).
On the same day as the Nintendo pseudo-conference Square Enix is doing a conference about the Final Fantasy franchise because apparently people still care about it. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/there-might-be-big-final-fantasy-news-coming-at-e3-511551121)
Incidentally if you for some reason you were gonna watch Spike TV's E3 coverage you should probably know Sony and Nintendo's conference and pseudo-conference will not be shown. (http://wiiudaily.com/2013/06/spike-e3-show-nintendo-microsoft/)
Just a heads up the participating Best Buys for the Nintendo demos have changed.
I might have to check them out if the games being demoed are any good.
30 MINUTES UNTIL MICROSOFT DIES
So here's highlights of XBOX One's conference,
-New Killer Instinct, exclusive obviously due to being Rare and all.
-Dead Rising 3, exclusive.
-Spiritual successor to Panzer Dragoon, exclusive.
-The Battlefield 4 trailer was of the PC version since it mentioned having an "F1" and a "Backspace" button.
-XBOX Points are now dead, everything will be in local currency.
-Gold members now get some free games.
-XBOX One will launch this November for 499 U.S. dollars.
-New 360 model out today.
-A bunch of other games that I forgot or didn't say exclusive so might be multiplatform. Bonus points for hyping how life like the AI in Drivetar was and then immediately having the lead car crash.
-The sound was lost during part of the conference, which meant for awhile you could actually hear people in the crowd booing them.

mein thoughts
Oh and GHOST FROM TRUE CAPITALIST RADIO is in Metal Gear Solid V
KI is apparently being made by the same devs as Silent Hill Homecoming, so no hype.
Sunset Overdrive looks fantastic, too bad it'll probably get homogenized the way Fuse did.
Forza 5 looks cool, but the word "drivatar" is the most hilariously cheesy thing I have ever fucking heard.

Didn't even mention MGS V. Shame on you. Also you're British so you should mention that the price is £429 (converts to $666). :iori:
MGSV isn't exclusive so who gives a shit? (https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/344133383531683841)
Of course it's not an exclusive.
Sony's conference is on going now, they finally showed the PS4 it's a parallelogram for some reason. (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/10/heres-what-the-ps4-looks-like/)
It reminds me of the PS2.
... I have a great feeling about this.
Shots fired (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/ps4-games-wont-have-many-of-the-restrictions-of-xbox-o-512477859).
They also showed Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which is now just Final Fantasy XV and announced Kingdom Hearts 3.
The Just Cause guys are making a Mad Max game as well.

HAHA HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Sony's conference was fucking brilliant this year. Wonder what Nintendo has in store
God damn it, Neon, I was about to post that.
... I may not live to see tomorrow, because I am DYING.

Nintendo's E3 direct begins in less than eight minutes. (http://e3.nintendo.com/)
Mario's 3D Wii U title is Super Mario 3D World (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/super-mario-3d-world-out-on-the-wii-u-this-december-512575123), which is to say a console version of Super Mario 3D Land, like New Super Mario Bros. Wii versus the DS game. Well at least Peach is playable this time.
Mario Kart 8 was also announced.
Also got to say Nintendo dropped the ball here this thing is near unwatchable with how much it's lagging.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze announced now featuring swimming and the return of Dixie Kong. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/vikings-pillage-donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-la-512582596) Whether or not this is Retro's super secret project "everybody wanted them to do" is unconfirmed.
First Bayonetta 2 gameplay footage (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/bayonetta-2-looks-deadlier-than-ever-even-with-short-h-512573412).
Super Smash Bros (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/the-new-smash-bros-game-will-be-out-in-2014-512574446). for Wii U and 3DS now with Animal Crossing Villager and get this MEGA MAN (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/mega-man-is-finally-coming-to-smash-bros-512583599). Planned for 2014.
3DS Zelda's subtitle was revealed to be "A Link Between Worlds"
Kinda hyped for Wii U now. :sho:
It was a fairly safe showing, and while I love Donkey Kong Country I am sort of disappointed the project Retro was hyping up for years now was a sequel. Sure I'll still love the shit out of it though. At the very least looks like the software drought will subside for awhile.
Though really if Nintendo does this in lieu of a conference again next year they need a better service than ustream that lag was unbearable.
This has been the best E3 in years though even with Microsoft's gigantic fuck ups.
Edit: Also some footage of Yoshi's New Island for the 3DS. It doesn't have to try hard to be better than the abomination that was Yoshi's Island DS.

Here's one of the not cancelled post E3 XBOX interviews, it was since taken down from youtube but here's a mirror, (http://www.destructoid.com/ms-on-xbox-one-we-have-built-a-natively-connected-device-255988.phtml)

The short of it in case it gets taken down again, he says buy a 360 if you don't have regular internet access.
David Wise will compose the soundtrack to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=204709).
YES
