Geoff Keighley announces Summer Games Fest: A 4 month long season of news and events
- Thread starter xir
- Start date
It's cool to have one giant hub that hosts and promotes these publisher-centred events, so we could have a let's say WB showcase, and when it ends you tune in to Geoff's site and you get interviews with directors, behind the scenes, developer walkthroughs and so on, without having to navigate multiple sites.
I hope this means that from next week onwards we get at least one big gaming news each week till August, and after that we will kick in with pre-next gen period.
Sit at the table boys, we eatin' soon.

Most games weren't shown years in advance, only the big tent pole first party titles were that way because that's what drew eyes to get people to look at their smaller stuff.
Oh man, E3 is now deader than dead.
He scheduled it such that it encompasses the entire E3 leak/show/post-show season. There's nearly no reason to have E3 if the big announcements are all going to be here. Even Xbox is on board!
Crazy. Based Geoff.

Well someone has been very busy during lockdown. Looking forward to this, thank you Geoff and team for this blessed gift :D
I love me some Geoff Keighley. He's worked his ass off for years and has learned so many lessons in this industry. Anything he can do to replace E3, I will at least give a shot to.
Bandai Namco and Xbox are both on there. While From Software is developing Elden Ring, Bandai Namco is the publisher, and Xbox has marketing rights, so we might see it.
Wouldn't be resetera without the premature cynical/negative takes. Like breathing fresh air again.
Well thank god, looks like we will see wb Montreal's new game or rocksteady's in phase 1.
they both must be tied to next gen at this point, I am willing to bet anything that rocksteady is next gen only but I still feel like wb Montreal's Batman game is cross gen but Sony or Microsoft have the rights to show it during there e3 like show coming up. Much like how Microsoft showed off black flag on Xbox one during e3 2013

Because FROM Software fans have been losing their minds slowly since it didn't show up at TGA last year.
Agree, feel like it would have been more exciting if it was over a month instead. We'll see how it pans out.
Sony, Microsoft, and CD Projekt Red? Wow. Depending on how much these companies commit, this could be huge. Rooting for Geoff!
I think I prefer something like this to an E3 style everything in a week event because more games can be in the spotlight for longer, even smaller ones. Instead of being on a Sony/Microsoft indie sizzle reel maybe they'll get a lot more attention, maybe even a demo. Sounds cool.
Very confused. I'm really not sure how this is different than normal videogame reporting. I guess it has a shiny shell? But what's the point? I guess there will be some in-game events or something on some GaaS, but...dunno. Seems pointless, especially when a lot of these companies can and already do their own thing.
I'd get it if it were a couple weeks, or a month. A new mini-conference every week for a month. But four months...?

What is the difference between this and all the companies just doing their own direct-like events? Apart from a fancy name and theme that is.
That would be my question. Because it being spread over 4 months deflates any interest I would have in this. Maybe it's the demos?

call me old fashioned but back in my day summer was three months
looking forward to this, expecting some neat stuff

I personally like this a lot. The "pressure" of needing to have something to show every year before a specific week for E3 was a bit too much and it sometimes resulted in really dumb conferences with barely anything to see.
Having a bigger timeframe for announcements should be healthier for trailers and the way they present that content, I think. We'll see how it goes, though.

Publishers may end up loving it, but most fans would probably prefer a big week of announcements instead of over the course of four months.
It's not. This is basically just marketing for publisher events.
Both were supposed to be shown at their press conference, so I think both will be shown here. Idk how this is gonna work though. Is it like one announcement from each publisher a week or will publisher's get their own special conference?
And this is off topic, but where is the pic from your avatar from? It's dope, I wanna put it on my phone background.
Yeah, I'm also not sure about that. Could be cool or could turn out watered down
Is it just like, a repository for all the different publishers streams... with interviews, and links?
This just makes it sound like a news website, like IGN or Gamespot. I just don't get it, but hey, if it works it works.
