It's going to sweep at the end of the year. Get used to it lol.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
You get me wrong friendo - I love Expedition 33, and it absolutely deserves all the game of the year awards it's going to get.
But usually Summer Game Fest is all about new games coming out this summer and beyond, so it's weird seeing it included here because it's already released. For reference, here are all the games announced during last year's Summer Game Fest
Maybe we're getting story DLC?

I've clocked around 12 hours atm, and the game of course is by no means bad or anything. However, I can't quite understand the hype around it. Yes, it's good, but a masterpiece? No way. I wouldn't even put it in the same tier as a MHW, RE4R or FF7R.

It's about time Sony shows the next god of war, so there's that. But after Ragnarok, i don't trust them to deliver, so that's the negative side.

What the point of promoting 90% of games that's already released?

i find all these geoff keighley related 'events' best enjoyed (if at all) once they're finished...

When they've cut out all of Geoff's bits, and the adverts, and the movie stars that don't play games, and the cringy onstage interviews, and the musical number.

Yeah the trailer as a whole has a lot of footage from games that have come out already. I'm sure they'll have a lot of ne announcements.
I've Platinum'd the game and done 1 NG+ run. And I get what you're saying. Usual UE5 graphical warts aside though, the game is very competently made. I actually preferred it over FF7Rebirth. It feels more like Final Fantasy than Rebirth.
The hype is what's going to carry it to a lot of wins at award shows.
The part that I think will be undeniable, though, is the music.

Not surprising that DS2 is the first game shown in the trailer..

Not when Death Stranding 2 is just around the corner. Its not sweeping anything lol

This should have had more games that are already announced and coming soon, as a reminder, rather than showcasing a game or two that already released.
Other than that this is a good first try at a hype reel.

The trailer also had:
Doom The Dark Ages - Already out
Kingdom Come 2 - Already out
South of Midnight - Already out
Its just a mix of different cool shit of 2025, no need the hype trailer is what is going to be shown on the night.

That could be a hit too. I think what Expedition 33 has over Death Stranding 2 is that it's a new experience. DS2, so far at least, looks like more of the same with refined systems. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out at the end of the year though.

Honestly refined systems is all it needed. But yeah we'll see how it plays out

Its probably gonna get a ton of nominations but I dont think it wins as many as people think it will.
Death Stranding 1 didnt even win when it was a "fresh" experience and had Kojima hype behind it.

Best Music, RPG, new IP, art direction and best overall game, among others. It's gonna win in many categories.
I like DS2 a lot but there's no way its beating 33. I'd rather say something like Crimson Desert, which is another beastly game yet to release.

Feels like a completely unnecessary trailer showing either things that were obviously going to be shown or games already released.
Not sure what the point was.

DokeV? Pearl Abyss is making that and they seem to be focusing on Crimson Desert. I haven't seen anything about Dokev since the trailer, only conjecture.

Were people here expecting to see new shit in a trailer for the show? Isn't that what the show is for? Like I get not being confident in it being good, but I don't understand the complaints here.
Like were y'all expecting a Bloodborne 2 logo and action clip in the hype trailer or something?

Good point. Most of this are paid checks for Geoff, whatever is good or not.

Death Stranding did have most GOTY wins that year, though.

The hype trailer is mostly games that already came out. So I wonder:
Are any of those coming to new platforms? Like Expedition 33 coming to Switch 2? South of Midnight coming to PS5?
Maybe they are showing them because they'll be on sale during the Summer Game Fest? They usually have a Sale to coincide with the event, so maybe those games are part of that.

Here's my annual "fingers crossed" for Little Devil Inside
Little Devil Inside
This is my "most wanted" game. I fell in love with it the minute Neostream revealed it via the official Kickstarter campaign on April 2015.
8 Years later it remains "Coming soon".
The graphics style, the varied and diverse levels/biomes and overall mood captured my attention.
I'm still holding out hope they'll pull this off, fighting off feelings of "what could have been".....

Let me guess… a Kojima game 50% of the trailer…

Spotted some Arc Raiders snippets, so I suppose we'll finally get some news. That's all the hype I need.

Hoping for a shadow drop "available now" after the trailer finishes

I liked this idea, I agree with your point that he can't show anything secret/new, and I think he can improve it going forward, however the problem isn't specifically with games already shown, it's with games already released. Here was another showcase that happened over a month ago, where they showed a highlight reel of indies that were already revealed, but coming soon.
This accomplishes two things.
- To remind gamers of what's on the horizon with games that were already revealed
- To imply that they will have more to show of these games
When comparing this with Geoff's hype trailer, the issue is that this SGF trailer is showing games that are already in stores and playable, when he could be showing quick snippets of games that were revealed last year or during the TGAs, to remind the audience of what's coming up soon.

Is it worth playing before DS2's release at the end of the month?
dreamstation

Of course. Play the first and then get DS2 when you're done with it. No rush, it ain't going anywhere!

Yes, if you can get through a meaty open world game of over 60 hours in just a month and want more afterwards. But otherwise? Go ahead to DS2 and play the DS1 recap that will be available on the game's menu, you would also go completely in blind for the gameplay loop, so it will be less tiring compared to playing these two big games back to back.

I dont think we ever gonna see Bloodborne 2 since its clear FROM has moved on from that IP.
Unless Sony give it to other developers to make which at that point I have no interest in it.
