During the session, Keighley confirmed that a lot of games wouldn't be on show. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will not by shown, for example. Kingdom Hearts 4 is also off the table, as is The Wolf Among Us 2. Neither should we expect anything about upcoming BioShock-like shooter Judas, nor anything on future Five Nights At Freddy's games.

Keighley contrasted the Summer Game Fest with his other big show, The Game Awards, which is normally the place for reveals, he says.

"[The] Game Awards has a lot of usually big surprises - we're thankful for those - and big, new reveals. This [Summer Game Fest] is largely focused on announced stuff...

[FunkMiller]

So, no reason to watch. Thanks Geoff. I won't

 

[RagnarokIV]

Fuck this guy. Fucken mug.

 

[adamsapple]

The Xbox showcase is 2 days after, so any new game from an Xbox studio (Gears) is going to be there anyway.

Sony just had their SoP, if they were gonna announce a Tsushima 2 like thing, it would have been there, not at Keighley's show.

 

[kaizenkko]

I miss E3. Being a "hardcore" videogame fan these days sucks.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Dorito bible verse 1.1 Geoff “don’t expect big reveals at summer game fest”

 

[SlimySnake]

Disappointing because people were saying Sony will have new first party games at the summer game fest. I hope Kojima shows up with something.

He said the show will focus on devs going on stage and showing off their games. i think this is a good format compared to VGAs which is trailer after trailer after trailer.

So, no reason to watch. Thanks Geoff. I won't

Lots of announced stuff could have gameplay demos. 1943, death stranding 2, Dragon Age Dreadwolf, Kingdom Come 2 are all due for gameplay reveals. New announcements are mostly cg trailers anyway so this isnt exactly bad news.

 

[Lupin25]

How can Geoff compete with the nostalgia of e3 if he can’t pull the big guns like Wolf Among Us?

The Xbox showcase is 2 days after, so any new game from an Xbox studio (Gears) is going to be there anyway.

Sony just had their SoP, if they were gonna announce a Tsushima 2 like thing, it would have been there, not at Keighley's show.

It wouldn’t be at either. It would be the PS showcase in Sept for the Pro.

 

[Tomi]

Mehh
So no Mafia 4

 

[SlimySnake]

The Xbox showcase is 2 days after, so any new game from an Xbox studio (Gears) is going to be there anyway.

Xbox showcase could be huge with gameplay for Gears, Fable, Perfect Dark, CoD, Doom Dark Ages, Avowed, Indiana Jones, etc.

[adamsapple]

Considering how close Keighley and Sam Lake are, at the minimum I'm hoping for a trailer and/or release date for Alan Wake 2's first-of-two DLC episodes.

 

[rm082e]

This whole Not-E3 timeframe is looking like a bust.

 

[ByWatterson]

LOL. He normally hypes the shit out of 5/10 shows, so this one is going to blow ass, confirmed.

 

[Mowcno]

"2K to reveal new game in one of its "biggest and most beloved" franchises next month as part of Summer Game Fest."

Don't lie to me Geoff

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Wasn't planning on watching anyways, but thanks. This dude overhypes and underdelivers every single show. Glad that he's finally speaking up ahead of time.

 

[analog_future]

I like Geoff and I think The Game Awards has been great for several years now, but Summer Games Fest has been a snore every year and has been a very poor "replacement" of E3.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

The real important question is what are you all eating when watching this show? Someone better make a thread soon.

 

[Little Mac]

I miss old E3 … and booth babes.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Guys! Don't expect anything from Gaming.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Then why waste time, money and energy on it?

 

[Del_X]

The big reveal is a never-ending stream of studio closures, consolidations, and bankruptcy!

 

[Loomy]

I miss E3. Being a "hardcore" videogame fan these days sucks.

They wouldn’t have been anything at this E3 either if no one wants to show new things.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Literally the least exciting generation ever.

 

[mdkirby]

All I want (unironically) is a nice selection of decent walking simulators, with interesting stories. Some nice comfort food, weekend games, preferably with some light themes (ie not gritty/horror)

 

[buenoblue]

WHATS THE FUCKING POINT THEN!

 

[Saber]

It's just giving another reason to skip them entirelly.

 

[Fake]

Trash.

 

[GymWolf]

Imagine giving even less reasons to watch this thing...

 

[balls of snow]

Dragon Age is probably the biggest thing Geoff has.

 

[FUBARx89]

SGF is always shit. At least he's not hyping it to the moon for once I guess.

 

[Shut0wen]

He says this every year yet the indie games announced are mostly top tier

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

He can't land the major hitters like Five Nights At Freddy's . . .

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Watched this yesterday, seems fairly consistent with the games industry as well. GTA 6 on the Switch 2 will save us…

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I like Geoff and I think The Game Awards has been great for several years now, but Summer Games Fest has been a snore every year and has been a very poor "replacement" of E3.

Yet it is here, and E3 is dead. The market has spoken.

 

[TintoConCasera]

No reason to watch this then, thanks!

 

[March Climber]

I like Geoff and I think The Game Awards has been great for several years now, but Summer Games Fest has been a snore every year and has been a very poor "replacement" of E3.

It sounds like from his perspective, TGAs are the replacement for E3 and SGF is the complimentary show, not the other way around.

 

[DAHGAMING]

"Dont watch this show, its fucking shit"

 

[Hero_Select]

To all the people who were cheering for the downfall of E3, you happy now?

SGF has been ass since conception.

My god I miss E3.

 

[Madflavor]

So I expect the next Resident Evil and Tomb Raider won't be at Summer Games Fest either.

This fucking generation sucks man. It takes waaaaaay too goddamn long to make games now. Think on that next time you want to bitch about low res textures on a rock.

 

[Tommi84]

Thanks! No need to watch it, then.

 

[HofT]

At least he tries

 

[realcool]

 

[ProtoByte]

I want to see Wonder Woman.

Xbox showcase could be huge with gameplay for Gears, Fable, Perfect Dark, CoD, Doom Dark Ages, Avowed, Indiana Jones, etc.

Avowed and Indiana Jones look lame as shit. No faith in Perfect Dark either.

 

[Kurotri]

If even the hypeman himself says this the show will be the equivalent of "this could've been an e-mail"

 

[ManaByte]

The Game Awards boycotted Hogwarts now the games are boycotting Geoff

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

"We will show nothing. LOL.


Also please tune in, I need my job "

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Given how far we are into this gen I thought we might at least have one big announcement

I miss E3

I would even take days off just to watch it all

Yes I know…

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’m so glad I got to experience one of the last great E3’s. I got to play the PS4 and Xbox One before their launches. I got to play Titanfall there as well. Huge Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox areas. Food trucks between the halls.

Now it’s just shit or nothing.

 

[billthomas696969]

I don't understand why an industry would want to actively try to avoid hype. "Don't get too excited" is the message from this dude every single time.
