It wasn't exactly earth-shattering but, since I went in with super low expectations, I guess it wasn't terrible. Plus the free taco with Door Dash was funny. Then again I can kinda see why he didn't hype it that much.

I laughed so hard when they put ON 2 DISCS right there at the end of the FF7 Rebirth trailer. Square marketing is so fucking weird, I love it.

What time is it?
Liked the show.
Glad to see some more information on Alan Wake 2 even if it left me a little cold. Sam Lake coming on stage and saying something along the lines of "this is Remedy's first horror game" was exciting and then showing game play that looks dead on the same as the original (the quick dodge, the flash light to stun) with the only exception being the deer masked enemy being way more of a bullet sponge than the enemies in the original. Maybe that's a boss or maybe that's the difference, fewer but more powerful enemies. At any rate, not very exciting as the formula in the original quickly outwore its' welcome.
Nicholas Cage was a treat even if I'm not interested in Dead by Daylight. I really wish he'd answered "because money" to Geoff's constant rephrasing of "why be in video games now".
A John Carpenter game could be fun. Same developers thought brought us World War Z which is about the only competent L4D clone we've seen.
Loved MK9, hated everything afterwards. Not sold on MK1 but I dig what they are doing with the storyline. Still worried about monetization with the Krypt.
Space Marine is a guilty pleasure. I might not be there day one for Space Marine 2 but I'll be there eventually.
Sandland is a big unknown for now but Akira Toriyama being attached is enough to keep me interested.
Remnant II getting a release date is great. I'll be there day 1 after getting the first game via PS+ and playing through with a buddy.
Witchfire giving off Painkiller vibes makes sense considering the pedigree.
Path of Exile 2 looks dope.

I didn't even think the rest of the show was bad, Rebirth took the show from good to great for me!
Witchfire - Did everybody else miss that trailer? Looked sooo good.
And a new 2D Prince of Persia! - Looked really polished, fast, smooth, could be awesome.
FF7 Ever Crisis - Mobile, but this looked great! Most polished old-school FF7.
Alan Wake 2 - Haven't actually played the first one but I liked what I saw and the split story angle seemed interesting.
MK1 - Gore annoys me. But the gameplay looked great! Maybe there is a blood and fatality switch? Not likely.

It was very nice show overall. I like a little banter about the games that are shown. It cranks up the momentary anticipation.
I was all in for Mortal Kombat 1 and after that I really couldn't focus much on other things. But i did watch it all. I am thankful to Geoff Keighley for starting SummerGameFest. Wish him the best for future.

The writer made horny final fantasy xv fanfic, something along the lines of being sexual awoken by final fantasy or some shit, yep thats the bar of quality for kotaku and the verge.In other news, a totally sane person has a totally sane take on the SGF:
Summer Game Fest featured no women onstage
Geoff Keighley, for one dollar, feature a woman.www.theverge.com

It was a good show for me.
Although I was expecting a few more announcements, i.e., Death Stranding 2, Cyberpunk DLC, etc.

This show started hot, but the second half sucked donkey balls. Like a Dragon: Gaiden, Immortals of Aveum, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth were the only games worth it in the second half. Even then I'm not 100% sold FF or Immortals.....

Didn't the studio tweet that it'd eventually release on consoles?? I hope it comes to PS5, cuz it looks fun as hell
