This is a giant miss every year. I only check out game awards from Geoff because the trailers are on point there and I usually get 1 big thing to get hyped for.

This though? It's slop.
 
MS
New hardware
More Activision GP games
Switch 2 ports

Sony
State of play
Marathon delay
More remasters/remakes

Nintendo
New Mario
Diddy Kong Racing 64
Price increase for hardware and Nintendo Switch Online

3rd party
EA - Big BF reveal, more EA originals, NCAA
SE - FF7 3, FF DLC
Capcom - RE, MH DLC
Sega - Super games
 
I guess this goes into the "dreams" category. Now with E3 gone (albeit, probably, returning in another form the next year), there's something I'm missing.

The "Just Dance" shitshow from Ubisoft. Yes, it's cringy as fuck. But it used to be an annual tradition. Me needs it.
 
Last year they showed Expedition 33 for the first time. It was just a random "world premiere", but that ended up being one of my favorite games ever. I wanna see more stuff like that. And Silksong of course...
 
I'm expecting Sony to show off something. They usually bring 1 thing.

I hate this event but I'll watch all the trailers after the fact. Hopefully some cool new stuff.
 
I expect to watch a half dozen of the trailers after the show. I hope to find one of them interesting. I have no dreams. All my dreams died a long time ago. I am a bitter shell of a man.

Not really. But I have no hype for the show at all.

Square Enix's release calendar is pretty barren at the moment, so I wouldn't be surprised to see something from them: something new for Dragon Quest 12 or Kingdom Hearts 4, or maybe the reveal of the long-rumored FF9 remake. FF7R3 is probably too far out to show anything.
 
Some more good new I.P.

Last year's summer showcases had some game reveals that delivered this year, one great example being Expedition 33.

Quite a few people on GAF always come away from these shows disappointed or sad no matter what is shown, but at least some here will celebrate the new I.P. later on.
 
There was a rumour that Sony will have a proper showcase, which if true, means they would have something worth showing. Hopefully they finally show off what they're planning for the next 2-3 years.

I want to see Half Life 3. It has been so long that they might just release it because there's way less pressure on their shoulders with all the hype and expectations. Would also like to see the new God of War in Egypt, using the Decima engine and MOST IMPORTANTLY WRITTEN BY CORY BARLOG.

Wouldn't mind seeing the next dogshit product from Bioware. Some memes and free entertainment are needed as well😆Just don't forget to add top scars, its very important, Bioware🤗
 
(1) E3, like for real E3, comes back and ditches all these haphazard sporadic impossible to keep up with digital showcases.

(2) Sony gets their shit together and knocks it off with the endless attempts at a GAAS success story and the boring, lazy remasters/PC ports. Alternatively, at least give the Gravity Rush series and Bloodborne some boring, lazy remasters/PC ports.
 
This thread is the first time I've even seen the event mentioned, so it's safe to assume there absolutely nothing of note planned for it. Haven't even seen any grifters making shit up about MS or Sony showcases either, so this seems poised to be the worst Feaux-3 ever.

Nope. I am so jaded about the industry as a whole that I don't pay much attention to events anymore. I also ignore release dates, since those are equally meaningless these days.

I really dont understand people, I mean this year we got some pretty damn good games and Switch 2 is coming out soon which I'm pretty hyped about.

For me I'm still great games to play, I see no reason to "jaded" about industry.
