Summer Games Fest (RIP E3) 2024

[Sithborg]

So, Keighly's E3 replacement for game advertisement starts this Fri, June 7th, at 5 pm EST.



I am sure we will get a full day devoted to Kojima and whatever the **** he is working on.

All praise be to the Dorito Pope.

 

[Iceman]

Looking forward to KojimaFest, but hard to get as excited as I used to in the E3 days, a loss for gaming IMO. I always wanted to go one day too.

Alwas a good sign when the Dorito Pope warns you to temper expectations. So, temper my already tempered expecations.

Getting a new MH Wilds trailer, and that is all I care about.

Yeah, he always overhypes his shows so at least he's calmed down on that this year. Although there really isn'y going to be anything too big there then I guess.

 

[Silvermoth]

I 100% believe Nintendo will come in at the last second and steal the show with several simple but fun games

 

[Sithborg]

We know there is a June Direct. But I'm not sure quite what they have left in the tank for a system on its way out.

But if we shouldnt expect big stuff...why even bother with the whole thing then?
Like, this is the event that is supposed to replace E3...is supposed to be one of the few big gaming events we still have...and yet we shouldnt expect big things?
Whats the purpose then?

Seems rather pointless to hold such an event if Studios rather focus on their own showcases and stuff.

Part of it is the industry's own fault. Announcing these bit games years before they are even ready to be shown. Hell, announced before they have even started work on it. And the industry is bigger than just the AAA. And Keighly does seem to enjoy showing off some smaller stuff.

Anyway...


Capcom has something cooking.

 

[Iceman]

I think a problem is that if they don’t announce big games they get leaked anyway and not on their terms, with so many people involved. And once the titles are out there it’s easier for recruitment too.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, I think Sony jumped the gun on this one.

 

[Gee]

 

[Sithborg]

Geoff really glossing over the layoffs here...

 

[Sithborg]

Lego Horizon?

EDIT: Finally, Horizon on Switch. lol

 

[Sithborg]

The required zombie game, sigh

 

[Sithborg]

**** the TERF. I'm sure this is going to be a FTP GAAS hell.

 

[Iceman]

I've missed it all till now, just switched on. Anything interesting?

 

[Sithborg]

I want to know what kind of drugs the maker of Cuffbust is on.

More Outlaws.

 

[Sithborg]

Not really. Lego Horizon and Cuffbust, a weird drug dream of a game.

 

[Sithborg]

Oh yeah, Civ 7, steal hundreds of hours of my life.

 

[Gee]

Gris was great so Neva is easily Day 1 for me.

Thanks, think I just missed the end of Outlaws. Will check out Cuffbust after, cheers.

I need to set aside specific years of my life to get lost in games like this. I do love strategy stuff though and my pc cpu can do with a serious test.

 

[Iceman]

Space Marine 2, yes! (9th Sep)

 

[Sithborg]

Metaphor, totally not Personae, we swear.

 

[Sithborg]

A game more people wanted more than SS.
