Topic: (Rumor) E3 Leak; Castlevania is there.

Just imagine a 3rd person Farcry 3 Blood Dragon but with less neon.
That would be so contra.

[Zetheraxza]

Contra needs to be as 'Crazy' as it has always been. Sure give it that 'Mainstream Hollywood' cinematic scenes but the gameplay needs to be platinum games crazy. Played Vanquished? That's some crazy shit!

general public: "contra reboot AKA not-gears of war"

Are you sure you don't mean 'ancestor' maybe?

I really like Gears of War, and Vanquish is a very good game. Also Binary Domain. A gameplay like those games "would" work in a Contra game buuuut without the Cover System and the Autoregen Life. It needs to be difficult, maybe yes, like Vanquish...

Personally I prefer a Third Person Shooter gameplay over a FPS one, to the next Contra.

Reboot? Is really that necessary? C´mon...

Castlevania pls

Not only that, but it has to KEEP THE MONSTERS. I want the monsters/bosses to be absolutelly gruesome, but not nonsensical like Hard Corps or Shattered Soldier (Snail-Car, seriously?). Something more Giger-esque, but not so much Alien.

I'm tired of alien/monster invasion games (Mass Effect, Gears of War) where most enemies look like humanoids on fancy suits with a monstrous creature or robot now and then. They must be utterly horrific, gruesome to the core, and come after you all the time!

So much THIS! It needs the meaty, body-horror style of aliens that were seen throughout the series. I kinda fear the same thing, that they'll go the ME/EoW route and aliens more humanoid(because that's the "in" thing right now). Go all out, go grotesque and meaty, like you are inside a living creature, fighting bizarre twisted aliens, veins, hearts, spores, slime-pus filled boils, throbbing walls and so on. Remember we talked about the Undead Parasite in another thread, and theories regarding it(and how it felt like something you could see existing in the Contra universe)? That.... a new Contra game needs things like that and MORE!!!!

So E3 is in a week and Konami hasn't said jackshit about their E3 schedule.

That cinches it, MGSV is the only thing they have to show at E3 this year.

[Nagumo]

They don't have a press conference this year. 

[EstebanT]

May the person that started this rumor be sodomized by Cornell's true form.

[Dremn]

They don't have a press conference this year.

They haven't had one since 2010, it's been digital events every year now. They haven't bothered to announce one of those either.

Whatever conference MGSV will be featured in is the only Konami presence at E3 this year.

[Zetheraxza]

They won't show anything this year. Regardless of Success/Failure of LoS series, it won't show anything yet and we won't see anything 'til next year or two years from now on if they really get a good production. Castlevania may be a whore, but she ain't no cumdupster where she'll pass on to another game right after four months.

[Chernabogue]

I remember last year was a 30-minute online show (PES, MGS, LoS), so we could expect the same this year.
