Geoff clearly said don't expect big reveals.

I don't understand what people want from these shows, GTA 6? Half life 3? There was a good list of games shown, not sure why there's so much complaining

Nothing wrong with having a show with fewer major announcements but don’t expect to have your viewers pumped for 2 hours of smaller titles.

Geoff should make the shower shorter on years he doesn’t much major to show.

I'd argue smaller titles should be given more time to shine

It’s great that they do, but unfortunately few of the hundreds of thousands if not millions that Geoff is appealing to watch his show are going to care about predominantly smaller titles.

Bingo card for this year, I'm out of the loop for gaming news lately, so going in almost blind.

New Doom announced for early 2025 - multiplat release day one to no one's surpriseGears Collection coming later this yearGears 6 teaser with no release dateCall of Duty ends the showFable opens the show - gameplay footage with 2025 release date
Forza Horizon 6 is not present at the showXbox Series X Digital announced - coming this summer at $449Final Fantasy XVI coming to Xbox in 2025STALKER 2 new trailerUbisoft Star Wars game new trailer with release date - 2025
Handheld teased with no specific detailsAnother trailer for Metaphor: ReFantazioID@Xbox segmentJapanese game devs have even worse presence than last year - maximum 1 new game announced, not counting FF XVI
Starfield DLC trailer with release dateSouth of Midnight is absentVast majority of games are coming to GamePass day one (~90%)Fallout segment, based on a hype of a TV show. Probably new Fallout 76 DLC announcedSea of Thieves getting new content, MS acknowledges it's success on PS5
Halo Infinite new update trailerHollow Knight Silksong is absent (yes, again)Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree trailerSpyro 4 teasedNo Kojima this year and we still wonder what the hell he is cooking with Xbox

Decided to update one slot.

And a bonus round which I don't think is possible: we are mid-through the gen and DMC 5 came out all the way back in early 2019, so I kinda feel like it's a good time to finally announce, DMC 6. Am I right, Capcom?

That was an underwhelming showcase by Keighley, following up an underwhelming Sony showcase recently. I would give it a 5/10 but it loses a point for that way too long mobile game live action trailer, so 4/10. The loss of E3 has badly damaged summer game announces, Keighley's show is a poor substitute for all that we lost, while Sony seems content to do shorter State of Play's now instead of proper, big summer showcase events. 

Hopefully Xbox does better than both, but I'm skeptical, will be hard for it to be good if they are announcing games for rival platforms on the show, it will take the wind right out of alot of Xbox fans' sails if they do.

The kind of experience we used to get from E3. Summer Games Fest was one of several shows that was designed as a replacement for E3 after ESA started struggling to do E3. In the E3's of old, we'd get probably 10 big games announced per year between the various shows, spread out over a period of just 4 days mainly, plus numerous AA games and a few indies. Most of the shows that made up the old E3 week have been lost, Sony no longer does big summer showcases but only a small State of Play that doesn't even have half as many games as their old E3 showcases, EA show was lost, some years Square would do an E3 show of their own so that is also lost now.

Xbox+Bethesda, PC, and Ubisoft are the only 3 traditional E3 shows that still feel like they used to feel during E3 week, while Summer Games Fest feels totally different, less big games, bigger focus on indie/single A tier games (even though there are about 5 other indie/single A focused shows on the Summer of Gaming schedule such as Day of Devs, Future of Play, Future Games Show, Guerilla Collective), and some years Keighley even does mobile games on there like that cringe 5 minute long Chicken game live action trailer last night.

Between longer dev cycles for AAA games and more AAA pubs holding back their announcements to announce on their own outside of Summer Shows, the so-called Summer of Gaming now feels lackluster compared to the heavily concentrated E3's of old. It's just hard to feel excited about Summer of Gaming in the same way we gamers got excited about E3 week in the past. That is why each year the majority of gamers rate these Summer shows poorly in Keighley's polls and such, like both the Sony State of Play and Summer Games Fest getting a D or F rating by around 40% of voters so far this year, and around 70% giving them a C, D, or F.

Idk who this leaker is but Mint Blitz seems to deem them as reputable. 



Almost done with Fallout 4.
Only need to finish the main quest and then collect all the bobbleheads.
All DLCs already completed. Should have unlocked achievements in sub 70 hours once I'm done.

It seems silly to me to remake Halo 1 for it's 25th anniversary when it was already remastered for the 10th. Meanwhile Halo 3 wasn't touched for it's 10th or 15th anniversary, and with Halo development resources going to the next mainline Halo (the UE5 one) and Halo 1 Remake these next few years, it's doubtful they will have the development resources to remaster Halo 3 for it's 20th anniversary in 2027 either. It's  so insane to me to leave 3 untouched when it is the most popular Halo game by a longshot, I remember playing it over a year after release and seeing like 300k+ concurrent players at times.

Maybe they are looking into it as a soft reboot of the series. To gauge at the interest of the series or to re-ignite the interest since Infinite soured a lot of people.
