IGN: Summer Of Gaming digital event coming early June - Square, Sega, Bandai, 2k, Devolver and more confirmed
- Thread starter nolifebr
- Start date
The fact that it has these three is enough for me to be excited about this. I was worried that Japanese games might not get that much of the spotlight this year, so this is pretty neat.
Sounds pretty great tbh. Sounds like the publisher presentations might be live if they're having prediscussions.
This is pretty cool. The past couple years I've enjoyed Devolvers conference and I knew one way or the other they would be doing something.
Sony will live stream Cerny dancing and then at the end of the 4 hour dance routine he'll reveal the console itself and the price.
Certainly thinking about it! It's really important to me that if we do anything, we're all going to do it all together as an industry. That's what the idea E3 represented to me -- everyone coming together to celebrate games. I'm only going to press "go" when I feel like we have something that properly represents our industry to the world.
It's obviously a very challenging time right now -- a lot of teams are trying to figure out how to build their games under these new circumstances. In many ways games are more important than ever right now.
Will keep everyone posted -- please rest assured there are lots of conversations happening. I'm a fan just like you guys and want to find a way to rally everyone around the right center of gravity.
Oh? Other publisher than those that are on IGN will be there?
Can you guess which month is the most likely for this digital event? June or July ?
Why would they? This is just IGN literally doing their job of previewing games and creating news content.
Not surprised IGN carved out a role as producer for a digital event but It's been years IGN had to handle a project this big. Hopefully it runs smooth, demos aside.
What exactly is wrong with IGNs content....did I miss something somewhere down the line?
I still follow alot of their videos and stuff and havent seen any major issues....and their series of watching movies with the producers is absolutely brilliant.
I watch/listen to pretty much all their console specific podcasts (Unlocked(X), Beyond(P),Voice Chat(N)) and they are all great.
And their E3 coverage is also pretty good, they seem to have good relationships with alot of devs and publishers.
What exactly is the problem here or is it just bandwagon hate for the big guy?
P.S If you are gonna bring up plagiarismgate please dont bother, one writer cant spoil the entire company and all its content.
Whereas MS already confirmed a digital E3
It's not really possible for Sony to not show a thing in june because otherwise the focus would be only on the XSX showing Halo, Forza, Flight simulator etc
At least we have things to entertain us during the confinement ;) and that's really cool and I'm thankful for that. Stay safe
In the current context a March 2021 release would have been perfect but FOR NOW holidays 2020 is still the official launch date and it was confirmed twice by sony and still shown on the PS5 website.
With XSX releasing in November do they really have the choice anymore ? X1 messed up its launch (price, kinect with it, always online controversy etc) and never recovered from it (alongside a lack of enough ambitious first parties of course).

I guess kind of related, what happened to that thing they had at the game awards(I think?) that let you play demos that would normally be on show floors only? Will they get utilized more?
I don't like the style of their content, never did. This is the case for many gaming news sites/platforms. I pretty much only like Easy Allies on that front.
I think Retrosmith was talking about Elden Ring, not PS5.
Ign will give a free show that will give us new games and entertainment. And still is flooded by negative comments in ERA. I could be banned but this is why this forum have a bad reputation of toxicity.
I mean, the big "Japanese game" from Square is likely to be Avengers.
We might be in for an FFXVI reveal this year but that would probably be at Sony's big PS5 unveiling.
Sorry for causing confusion, I was indeed talking about From Software's next title!
AFAIK yeah, new consoles are still coming Holiday 2020.

IGN owns Game Trailers YouTube channel so they're most likely going to reupload all of the trailers on Game Trailers.
So for those who can't be asked to watch an IGN hosted event, Game Trailers has got you covered.

I'm surprised Geoff didn't get everyone together for a two hour trailer fest in June.
Not the usual but it would have been nice for the whole industry and communities to come together and put on a show to take our minds off things, enjoy ourselves and get hyped for two hours.

It's mostly grievances about specific reviews, I think, that add up over time. People always forget that IGN isn't one person.
Hopefully there.
Well, I was mostly looking at Bandai and Sega tbh. As long as I get some more Y7 stuff, I'll be good. Though I suspect we'll get an update on Babylon's Fall and Nier Remaster from Square at the very least.
This reaction being echoed throughout the thread boggles my mind. The hate for IGN is something else. What are the reasons that people have?
For the most part - they probably are upset about a review score or two. They make pretty good content and great podcasts. So it's tough to say what other reason there could be.
Cool, it'll be nice having something to fill in that E3 hole especially in these trying times.
Keep doing what you're doing. I 100% agree that that is what it SHOULD be. I am confident that whatever you end up doing will be great, and I'll be there to watch it.
Do you know if Nintendo is still doing a direct before E3?
