The Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4 will be two defining elements for the eighth generation of gaming, which will most likely end up making this year known as "The Year of the Next-Generation Console."
In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com today, gaming journalist Geoff Keighley believes with all that is expected from the Xbox 720 and PS4, that they will define 2013.
"If there was more experimentation with pricing we'd see less of an issue with used game sales. Not all games deserve to --- or should -- charge $60," Keighley said.
Don't expect a repeat of last year's on-stage weirdness.
One of the more memorable moments in the 2022 Game Awards came courtesy of a kid who crashed FromSoftware's acceptance of the Game of the Year award for Elden Ring. Don't expect something similar to happen in 2023, though
While Summer Games Fest 2023 is still ongoing, with a couple more showcases to come, the games fest man himself, Geoff Keighley has confirmed that the show will return next year in June, for Summer Games Fest 2024.
“After a record-setting 2023, we are excited to share some news.” Keighley began in his announcement on Twitter. “Summer Games Fest will return in June 2024, including our live showcase event hosted by Geoff Keighley, and Summer Games Fest Play Days hosted by iam8bit. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.”
Considering the format and lack of need to keep a whole convention center and visitors for 5+ days, it was a resounding success. Helped that it was piggy-backed on by all the major gaming sites. Really, this is likely the future of E3 now. I don't mind it.
It’s better than nothing, but it’s nowhere near as epic as old-school E3 with all the theatrics and huge stage presentations.
Hell, 75% what was shown at SGF sucked ass, besides MK1 and FF7 Rebirth, but I’m just glad someone’s trying to fill in the gap.
See what's next in video games with Summer Game Fest, hosted by Geoff Keighley live from YouTube Theater in Los Angeles.
The show will feature the world gameplay premiere of MORTAL KOMBAT 1 with Ed Boon, as well as a look at the gameplay of ALAN WAKE 2 with Sam Lake from Remedy, plus more game news and announcements including the world premiere of Fortnite Wilds the new season of Fortnite launching Friday.
SGF streams live on Thursday, June 8 at Noon PT / 3p ET / 9p CEST.
The LIVE show will be followed by Day of the Devs and Devolver Direct
Come on. Release date for Death Stranding 2. This year would blow my mind, but I know that's not likely
that MK1 looks pretty sweet.
edit: okay Nic cage has won the show
God damn this is already highly entertaining. No way this kind of experience can be replaced entirely by online only direct shows.
12 days away...
I find it strange, these sites keep waffling about the 720. Nobody has heard a squeak from ms.
FEB 20TH is iron clad.
bring it SONY.
its time for sony to reclaim its throne as king of home consoles.. Burned MS fans will soon come to see the beauty of PS once again.. Sony made some mistakes this gen so they forgive u & will show u whats up on the 20th.. come home people, u know that sony has your back.. Burned wii u adopters can come see nx gen in its full glory (possibly before even one killer exclusive is released on wii u) & finally loyal PS fans will get to witness what we have all been waiting for & rejoice when launch day arrives
coz Wii U is truly a next generation console
Geoff is a bit wrong seeing how lots of people are petitioning, especially in Germany to be able to sell or trade their PC games on Steam.
So while in a sense, technology will fix the problem, it sort of doesn't when it opens up this problem, and gov'ts in Germany (already is) and assuredly later gov'ts elsewhere will press the issue.
