SystemLink: "With the VGAs a forenight away, Geoff Keighley is taking to Twitter to set the hype train in motion, teasing more announcements next week."
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
well they did Wishlist for the next GTA last year ... and we final got the official announcement this year .... so ...
...
any "Bill Clinton wants to play Half-Life 3"-stage-crashers this year, plz?
The stage crashes made a boring sales pitch fun. But yeah, there is a security concern.
Well it's more that stealing the thunder from From Soft last year, the GTA guy was at the start of summer game show so people forgot about him as the show gone on, but the bill Clinton guy stayed talked about the most
They need to..... because of what Lord Spencer will announce.... will make everyone throw a fit
Last year is was a kid making a joke
At summers games fest it was 2 worthless pathetic adults crashing the middle to be assholes and copy a child for attention
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.
Me neither. I do understand why they put the date of Spidey 2 and FF7 Rebirth stuff at the GameFest, but I kind of wish the Playstation stuff was at the Playstation conference.
I agree. The only thing I'd say I miss from it is the 'hands on' that journalists use to have with the games. I know some companies invited journo's/game enthusiasts to play some games in advance, so they could give some insight into gameplay once they had been announced, but that explosion of hands on thoughts I kinda miss. Other than that, it was decent. Devolver Digital had a very entertaining showcase and I do hope some other showcases take weirder/more interesting approaches in future.
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
Yeah a release date would be cool, I'm happy with a nice variety of games during the showcase and some biggies we don't actually know about.
I'm hoping we see a game or 2 maybe Sony or MS or both showing a AAA game.
I'm also thinking maybe Sony will use a live service game or 2 to show off
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.
I know a lot of people hate the VGAs. But seriously. Skyrim, Forza 4, Laser Shark Dogs With People Hands... what more could you want? (except from intelligent humor and all that) 'Sides, they had NPH as host. NPH
Will call it now...Skyrim will be GOTY.
i only watch this crappy show for the new game announcements/trailers.
The reason why I think the VGA is stupid is because they have Uncharted 3 as a GotY nominee and then they have the "Best PS3 Game" category. It is obvious that Uncharted 3 will win "Best PS3 Game," so why put it there? I think it would've been smarter if they didn't tell us the GotY nominees and just had the "Best [insert system name] game." They also have non-360 exclusives in the "Best 360 Game" category.
You should really look at the "Best Graphics" category. It is obviously only focusing on consoles but they put Arkham City in there over Gears of War 3 and Forza. Aren't those supposed to be the best looking 360 games? I find it hard to believe that Arkham City (a multiplat title) looks better. Also, where is Killzone 3 if it is consoles only? Arkham City doesn't come close to that game (graphics wise). I think they should have had a "Best Console Graphics" category and a "Best PC Graphics" category. Otherwise, the current "Best Graphics" category should have Battlefield 3 and The Witcher 2 in it.
lol, I wonder if the cast of Jersey Shore will come back on the VGAs to do some crap. Like they did in the past. If it is one thing we know, it is gamers LOVE the JS tv show...
