Thanks for the reply. I keep an eye out for the indie announcements, in that case.

Geoff Keighley announces Summer Games Fest: A 4 month long season of news and events
- Thread starter xir
- Start date
Very cool... looking forward to your shows and interviews. To me that is what will take this from "collection of previously planned announcements" to something that has its own flavor and impact. I have really enjoyed your E3 shows throughout the years :)
With it being Wednesday here in only four hours, I do hope the schedule will translate into different timezones, or at least have an option to set timezone. Worst thing about E3 is everything running on Pacific Time and having to work out what miserable hour of the morning 6PM Pacific is here.
I also hope people planning digital events don't schedule everything at fuck Europe o'clock since it's online, but that's out of Keighley's control...

Sure, but not announcing *everything* doesn't mean they can't announce one last teensy weensy Sony/WB event today ;)
(yes I know this is unrealistic and I'm a glutton for punishment lol)
Just chiming to say this is all sounding great and we appreciate the work put into it behind the scenes!
It seems to have more in common with what was being done with YouTube during E3. Scheduling reactions/interviews and other segments around what publishers have planned this summer. That's why a lot of it is TBD.
For sure, we have a lot of stuff in the works -- this is somewhat real time given everything going on in the world, so open to suggestions and ideas too.
If this event evolves to the point where people at home can play/stream the same demos that people normally wait in line for at E3 and other events then I'd be ecstatic.
I think the last priority teams would have with WFH would be doing E3 level demos, but who knows. I don't expect demos for the biggest games, but I'd like to be wrong.
I try!
I mean Geoff is out here replying to people but conspicuously didn't say anything to my question about any more announcements today 🤔. If there isn't anything left, why is he out here chatting and not posting the calendar yet?

He has a team of people working for him (most likely the same people who work on the tech on The Game Awards) who are making last-minute checks before publishing the calendar.
It isn't just him.
I know, I'm mostly joking lol.
I know Geoff isn't a lone hackerman coordinating all this from his secret lair.... or is he?
Oh for sure thats why I mentioned that I hope it evolves to that point :) Now that streaming is a thing then in the future when everything is going smoothly they could just stream any demo's on their respective platforms.
I think the things hardcore fans really love are the developer interviews and breakdowns that come with the major marketing beats. Cinematic trailers and the like are great, but we really crave even seeminly minor details about upcoming releases, so longform Q&A sessions with senior devs on upcoming games are always my favorite type of content that comes from E3-like events.
Can you make Phil Spencer skype with Jeff Gerstmann for about on hour as part of the SGF ?
Would be dope if you could get a hold of Team Cherry for Silksong ;)
RT on this one! His long form sit downs are always so entertaining and insightful, would love to see some of that sort of thing translate to SGF.
I wish there was a schedule to help organize announcements.
Because following the twitter account, it's hard to tell whats actually a part of this and whats something that's just being retweeted.
Edit:
NVM. Doing good Geoff

He needs to come back to do the mic drop properly! He killed someone last time.
Put Jones and Blood on this if it doesn't also takeaway from EZA reactions.
Didn't Geoff already say there won't be anything new with the update?
Sorry if it's obvious, what's the first pic?Very likely. Their PS5 title is going to be a thing of beauty for sure. According to them "It aims to define the visual benchmark for next gen hardware", so you can only imagine. http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/01/bluepoint_games_ps5_project_aims_to_define_the_visual_benchmark_for_next-gen
I'm late to the game here, but "digital events" is not a "principle". It is a series of events.
So it begins!Website updated, there's a new game reveal scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th.
I think this is Xbox's june event. something different than inside xbox.
PLEASE BE BATMANWebsite updated, there's a new game reveal scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th.
I too would love to see a list. I know most of the ones from WB and Sony but it would be cool to see other publishers as well.
It hasn't really started yet. Once the schedule is up and we know more about how the playable demos etc will work, it's too early to call it a regular hub site.
