Konami's Press Briefing peculiar poetic precursor


A cute little email hit our inbox from Konami in regards to their press briefing taking place this evening, and should be interesting. Here's the poem:

"What better way
to end your day
at Konami's media briefing collecting...
News for a major announcement
you were not expecting.
"

Curiouser and curiouser, upon being confronted with this new information, our intrepid lead gave his best raised eyebrow akin to a well renowned Vulcan. The sign in for the briefing is in just over an hour, and we'll be there to bring you this unexpected announcement. Until then, rampant speculation ... GO!

MGS4 on 360 seems to be the obvious choice at first, but MS would have had that in their conference for sure if it was a sure thing by now.

Realistic guess: Info on the new Silent Hill.

Unrealistic guess: Brand new 2d Castlevania for home consoles.

Sorry for the Off-topic but from PS3 Fanboy in regards to Xboxfanboys MGS 4 post.

"Metal Gear Solid 4 was announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive during the conference, met with a loving nod by our favorite Hideo Kojima. Hopefully this dispels rumors completely."

I still wouldn't be shocked if there was a 360 version of it a year or so later under a different name. However if It did go to the 360, it would be on over 4 DvDs 0_o

Either way, I don't think any 360 owners really care, as most of you commented on earlier today ;) But just giving the update!

It has to be MGS 4 for Xbox 360. What point would it be for Microsoft to announce it the day before Konami has its big day?

You don't steal the thunder of a company that you just convinced to help you kill your largest competitor (sorry Wii fanboys, Nintendo is NOT the 360's competition).

Remember this it will be MGS4. If I'm lying I'm Dying. The MGS4 "SECRET" has been the worst kept "SECRET". What's funny is that it will probable run at 60 fps while the PS3 will run at 1.5 fps. Oh well for Sony at least they will have video blogging. Now thats what I want out of my game system. Awsome.

Edit: From the live feed I was watching, they said it was an exclusive 4 times during the same speech, guess they were trying to debunk the rumor is all ;)

If this was MGS4, it would take 4+ DVDs to hold, and they would have just lied to every sony fan not 4 hours before. Not to mention the question of can the 360 actually handle this game. I mean, I like my 360, but I know Gears about kills it as it is.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, but I'm sure there will be something nice there for ya!

The suprise is Metal Gear Solid Collection, with the first three remade for Xbox 360. No I'm joking. Though it is possible, they did remake the first for gamecube.

Why did you feel the urge to say the same thing 3 different times? You seem to be on every thread around now just to show your Sony Fanboyism knowing you'll be heard just because this is E3 coverage. I don't mind if you give your opinion on things but your spewing your PS3 pride all over this site, and alot of people don't seem to like it.

On topic, if MGS4 still had a chance of coming on the 360 that would huge yet I doubt this will happen. Silent Hill is my guess as well.

@ zourskittles

I'm on the site following E3 for my Xbox and my PS3. I post my opinion like others do. I have a very low opinion about Xbox which is no secret, and well diserved do to the issues I've had with it. However I've been quite polite for the most part. As for saying the same thing 3 times... this site needs a edit function.

However if you are going to claim my comments on 4 DvD's being required to fit the game (I mean that would be about right, maybe 3... I donno I been up awhile) are anything close to the Comments on the PS3 side, then you are very wrong.

Please take the time to see the flooded comments of "KILZun 2 is teh blows HALOZ winz! die sony!!!!" on the PS3 side ;)

I've made many posts today about 360 games I've been looking forward to, and I've made posts about my Doubts of the 360 ability to handle some games. I'm a pretty even poster tbh....

Well I understand some 360 Fanboys aren't exactly the most polite people when it comes to PS3 news but than again some PS3 people come here and act on par with the said 360 "bots." I respect your opinions and your take on each side so I'll let you stay here, just watch what you say on a site dubbed "360 Fanboy."
