Confirmed for GamesCon: Kojima, Molyneux photo

The Leipzig Games Convention, or GamesCom, is right around the corner, set to kick off on August 19th in Cologne, Germany. Europe's major videogames trade show is already big, but two major names are on the invite list for this year to make it even bigger.

Metal Gear daddy Hideo Kojima will be there with his buddies from Konami. He'll be showing off Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, along with other Konami titles like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and some soccer crap, says CVG. He'll also be signing autographs while wearing his stylish glasses.

Lionhead will also be in attendance, and we hear that Peter Molyneux will be heading up a press conference for Microsoft. New game announcement or just babbling about new tech? Who knows. Website Gamefront says that an announcement is expected. I wonder what it could be.

Will Molyneux continue to tell me how great it will be to flail my arms and legs around like a madman to experience the new revolution in game control?

I didn't even knew the Leipzig Games Convention existed until E3 died some years ago and the Leipzig Games Convention got more coverage to make up for it.

I don't get why a country that is so anti games has a gaming convention. Aren't many of the games that will be shown the same ones they'll keep off the shelves?

I think they dropped the Leipzig part now that it's in Cologne? I would've totally gone this year if it wasn't on August 19th - 22th or something :(

I'm thinking as the new head of MS Europe Molyneux will have a presenters role. Pitching a new Rare game or something.
