Don't expect big reveals at Summer Games Fest, says Geoff Keighley

During the session, Keighley confirmed that a lot of games wouldn't be on show. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will not by shown, for example. Kingdom Hearts 4 is also off the table, as is The Wolf Among Us 2. Neither should we expect anything about upcoming BioShock-like shooter Judas, nor anything on future Five Nights At Freddy's games.

Keighley contrasted the Summer Game Fest with his other big show, The Game Awards, which is normally the place for reveals, he says.

"[The] Game Awards has a lot of usually big surprises - we're thankful for those - and big, new reveals. This [Summer Game Fest] is largely focused on announced stuff...

The Xbox showcase is 2 days after, so any new game from an Xbox studio (Gears) is going to be there anyway.

Sony just had their SoP, if they were gonna announce a Tsushima 2 like thing, it would have been there, not at Keighley's show.

Disappointing because people were saying Sony will have new first party games at the summer game fest. I hope Kojima shows up with something.

He said the show will focus on devs going on stage and showing off their games. i think this is a good format compared to VGAs which is trailer after trailer after trailer.
So, no reason to watch. Thanks Geoff. I won't (y)
Lots of announced stuff could have gameplay demos. 1943, death stranding 2, Dragon Age Dreadwolf, Kingdom Come 2 are all due for gameplay reveals. New announcements are mostly cg trailers anyway so this isnt exactly bad news.

How can Geoff compete with the nostalgia of e3 if he can't pull the big guns like Wolf Among Us?

It wouldn't be at either. It would be the PS showcase in Sept for the Pro.
 
Considering how close Keighley and Sam Lake are, at the minimum I'm hoping for a trailer and/or release date for Alan Wake 2's first-of-two DLC episodes.
 
"2K to reveal new game in one of its "biggest and most beloved" franchises next month as part of Summer Game Fest."

Don't lie to me Geoff

Wasn't planning on watching anyways, but thanks. This dude overhypes and underdelivers every single show. Glad that he's finally speaking up ahead of time.

I like Geoff and I think The Game Awards has been great for several years now, but Summer Games Fest has been a snore every year and has been a very poor "replacement" of E3.
 
All I want (unironically) is a nice selection of decent walking simulators, with interesting stories. Some nice comfort food, weekend games, preferably with some light themes (ie not gritty/horror)

It sounds like from his perspective, TGAs are the replacement for E3 and SGF is the complimentary show, not the other way around.
 
So I expect the next Resident Evil and Tomb Raider won't be at Summer Games Fest either.

This fucking generation sucks man. It takes waaaaaay too goddamn long to make games now. Think on that next time you want to bitch about low res textures on a rock.
 
Given how far we are into this gen I thought we might at least have one big announcement

I miss E3

I would even take days off just to watch it all

Yes I know…

I'm so glad I got to experience one of the last great E3's. I got to play the PS4 and Xbox One before their launches. I got to play Titanfall there as well. Huge Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox areas. Food trucks between the halls.

Now it's just shit or nothing.
