Suda51: No More Heroes 2 got bumped from Ubisoft keynote

by David Hinkle { Jun 3rd 2009 at 10:55AM }

Yours truly and JC ran into the one, the only Suda51 last night, and proceeded to approach him. Despite his inability to understand much of the English language, he was accommodating and posed for a picture. We asked his translator why No More Heroes 2 was nothing more than a small mention during the Ubisoft keynote, and she told us that it was simply bumped due to time. Sadly, she couldn't elaborate any further than that, but we have a feeling James Cameron had something to do with it.

DAMN YOU JAMES CAMERON

SecretAgentHam @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:04AM

curse you aqua scum!!!

tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:09AM

He can't hear you because I think he's still up on stage talking about Avatar.

Comet @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:12AM

Tmac you just made me spit all over my monitor.

BlackDove @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:12AM

It was fucking Cameron and Pele. I would have Goichi there for BOTH of their slots, rather than those two time wasters.

Rob @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:14AM

I concur, fuck you Cameron. I wanted to see something from No More Heroes 2, and you have to waste me time with your shitty project.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:26AM

It wasn't so much Pele's fault as it was Cameron's. They were having technical difficulites with the trailer of that soccer game he was supposed be promoting. But James, he had to repeat everything he said 4 fucking times over! Geez, I nearly fell asleep!

Comet @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:29AM

It makes sense now that I think about it. His movies are unbelievably long, so why wouldn't his speeches be?

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:33AM

FUCK YOU PELE you good-hearted piece of shit! :P

Comet @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:00AM

God Damn it, this was the only reason I cared about Ubisoft's keynote . I could give a shit less about Avatar.

Petebot330 @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:37AM

speaking of avatars, nice one!

Thanatos @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:53AM

Yeah i watched the whole goddamn live stream just for No More Heroes 2 >:( Fuck you Cameron and Pale.

B @ Jun 3rd 2009 8:49PM

Really? You watched an hour+ conference for what was probably going to be a 30second teaser?

Thanatos @ Jun 3rd 2009 9:51PM

@B yes, yes i did I had hoped it would be some new info if not to just see Suda talk about the game. The time wasnt completely wasted as i did pass Phantom Hourglass(finally) on my DS while watching/waiting.

MaRRODkez @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:03AM

Were the SNL folks big videogame fans, this would make the 'really' segment on weekend update.

nofriendo @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:04AM

Go make Titanic 2 or something and get the hell out of E3.

Mr Khan @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:04AM

Brutal. I didn't watch the Ubisoft keynote, but i imagine there was something that could have been trimmed for the sake of some more gameplay footage

xtremeholymuffin @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:05AM

You have NO IDEA

Comet @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:10AM

James Cameron Wasted everyones time. All you need to know.

Denny @ Jun 3rd 2009 8:36PM

Like the endless tween announcements?

J-Link @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:31PM

It's like James Cameron was rambling to himself about how reat Avatar was.

TheCoats @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:05AM

LUCKIES

TheCoats @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:22PM

LUCKIES as in referring to David and JC in that photo - not not getting to hear about NMH2 that was unlucky

Sam @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:17AM

sure it wasn't 'Petz Babiez Poniez Adventurez 8?

Comet @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:20AM

No pretty sure it was James Cameron Talking about a UNSEEN demo.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:22AM

Don't forget it is a crappy movie tie in at that! No More Heroes 2>Avatar.

Alex Sohn @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:19AM

Man Mr. Hinkle, that is one hell of a double chin. Can I poke your belly button please?

Optimaximal @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:39AM

BOOMER!

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:47AM

Opti you just made me "burst" out laughing. New Boomer for L4D2 CONFIRMED!

Alex Sohn @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:05PM

HAHA That was quite good, photoshop needed NOW!

David Hinkle @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:08PM

OMG, fat man stuck in internet!

Christ-ian @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:34AM

The Ubisoft presentation was probably the most boring thing I've seen at E3. The ONLY entertaining part was Jim Cameron giving the rundown on Avatar.

So my question is this: Why not cut any of the other boring-ass points they felt compelled to promote?

MLS @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:47AM

Suda should have rushed the stage dressed as Mask de Smith and suplexed James Cameron.

"GAAAAAH!"

DangerMouse @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:49AM

PEW PEW!!

Jawmuncher @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:49AM

DAMN YOU JAMES CAMERON!!!!!!!!!!!

Mehdi Cheddadi @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:01PM

Damn, why does this picture look soo much like a gamer stereotype.

aristokrat @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:07PM

It looks like Suda is giving JC the finger pistol to the head. Maybe he's Travis Touchdown's next target. Look out dude, I see a bloody (or coiny, if you're outside the US) future for you.

GhostofGrendel @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:13PM

Is Hinkle the kid on the left in the red/orange striped shirt? I was just curious. He looks really young.

Josh @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:24PM

Yes, I can tell by reading the nametag, and having seen many nametags in my day.

David Hinkle @ Jun 3rd 2009 2:39PM

I'm 26!

GhostofGrendel @ Jun 3rd 2009 2:41PM

LOL, sorry David hope you didn't take that as an insult!

David Hinkle @ Jun 3rd 2009 7:14PM

S'cool! :)

Josh @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:19PM

I definitely felt like they were introducing him, only to not have him present. I thought it might have been a swine flu thing or something, but now I see it was just Ubisoft being stupid.

Seriously, no one would have minded waiting around another 5 minutes if it meant having Suda51 on stage, demoing NMH2.

GhostofGrendel @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:31PM

@Josh, you would be funny except for the fact that I was looking at the post on a tiny screen and couldn't read it. Although I'm sure in your world your quite hilarious. I'll bet your amazing sarcasm gets you tons of dates with the lady's and has made you a great success in life. Congratulations.

Rhandos @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:42PM

Guess who badly needs to check out Wii Fit Plus next.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:51PM

jesus...

aggrazel @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:54PM

Guess who is a butt hole on the internet?

sc00by_y00 @ Jun 3rd 2009 12:47PM

Much love to you Pele,

I really dont think he was impressed with the game though (neither was I )

jordanbrown @ Jun 3rd 2009 1:14PM

James Cameron was on for a LONG time. But not to sound like a stupid american, but I had trouble understanding most of what anybody said up there for Ubisoft.

And they spent way too much time talking about childrens/ little girls games.

Why would they save those announcements for E3? I always thought E3 was more for the core gamers, apparently they took the Nintendo approach.
