[Kilau]

From hypeman to hitman, killing his own show.

 

[The_Observer]

I miss E3. Being a "hardcore" videogame fan these days sucks.

I wonder how those people who wanted E3 dead feel now. It was the best gaming time of the year and ever since ALL of these events sucked and were just a disappointment, one by one, no matter who did it.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Considering how close Keighley and Sam Lake are, at the minimum I'm hoping for a trailer and/or release date for Alan Wake 2's first-of-two DLC episodes.

This is actually what I hope to see and maybe some announcement regarding ARC Raiders.

 

[RavageX]

I think he should have the entire show about the current state of gaming. Misguided attempts to force GAAS, stupid development times, things like that.

 

[M1chl]

This year fucking sucks

 

[Hudo]

Then what is the fucking point?

 

[Zannrebel]

When does summer game fest ever have big reveals.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Don't worry guys and gals you can watch the Concord reveal over and over.

 

[The Cockatrice]

He does this with every show lmao. Also expect half the time to be tons of ads.

 

[ryzen1]

At this point I'm not expecting anything from this industry

 

[kaizenkko]

Without E3 the only things that left was rumors from "insiders". And yeah, those type of people have always existed, but now they have more "power" than never. There's no more hype or excitiment in this industry.

 

[ChiefDada]

So we hate him when he "overhypes" and also hate him when he's being candid and managing expectations...

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Don't give Geoff a hard time, he's working his ass off. Remember a couple of years ago when Neil Druckman was there and we got to see exclusive artwork for a cancelled game? That was nifty, right?

 

[adamsapple]

Don't give Geoff a hard time, he's working his ass off. Remember a couple of years ago when Neil Druckman was there and we got to see exclusive artwork for a cancelled game? That was nifty, right?

Yeah, for all the shit we give him, he's single handedly managing the two biggest gaming shows of the year, this and TGA in December.

 

[Diddy X]

"WE'LL SHOW NOTHING BUT PLEASE WATCH IT ANYWAY" FUCKIN LMAO

atleast the guy is being honest.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Cancel the show then. Hell, cancel this gen. It's fucking shit.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[Thabass]

Okay, so the show is going to be filled with a ton of live service games nobody wants nor asked for then. That's kind of the message he's sending. I get wanting to keep everyone's expectations in check, but now I don't even want to watch the show at all. Way to get everyone excited Geoff, lmao....

 

[SantaC]

Considering he usually hype up this garbage event it tells stories how bad it must be this year

 

[ahtlas7]

Expect non-game related filler commercials.

 

[Bartski]

small reveals then

 

[Arsic]

I would expect a few third parties support this show. Maybe the new borderlands for example since last time he had tiny Tina’s DND game.

Really there isn’t going to be big first party support here because they have their own shows to promote.

 

[SJRB]

 

[Laptop1991]

Don't worry, I wasn't!.

 

[Clear]

One of the biggest reasons why E3 died was that the whole premise of trade shows being there primarily for chain-store buyers to pick stock for the holiday season no longer applied.

This is a terrible time of year for announcements when most big new releases are coming increasingly in the first two quarters. Timing's fine if all you care about is CoD and Fifa, but for most everyone else its just not a great time to showcase stuff.

 

[miklonus]

Oh I'm not Geoff. Ain't shit comin' out this year worth lookin' forward to.

 

[semiconscious]

LOL. He normally hypes the shit out of 5/10 shows, so this one is going to blow ass, confirmed.

geoff: 'not really worth it...'

 

[LegendOfKage]

I don't know what everyone in this thread is going on about. Announcements generally suck. There's almost always no gameplay and usually there's barely any details. Give me the first gameplay seen of already announced titles over that nonsense any day.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

So, no reason to watch. Thanks Geoff. I won't

Personally I'd like actual information on games rather than just a constant stream of live action or CGI cinematics of a game that is 4-6 years away. Call me old-fashioned. Announced a lot of stuff at TGAs? Cool. Maybe show me some actual gameplay from some of those, now.

 

[fart town usa]

If you are upset over "no big announcements", you should be forced to play Concord starting Day 1, and nothing else, until the servers are shut down.

There are so many games worth playing that people here routinely turn their nose up at and then cry rivers like children when the big bad corporation they claim to hate doesn't reveal a AAA title that will ultimately disappoint.

So many of you do it to yourselves. No better than console warriors on X.

 

[DarthPutin]

What do people think would happen at E3? If they don't have games ready to present, they wouldn't have any for E3, either.

 

[SirTerry-T]

I'll decide what I want to expect, thankyouvermuch Geoff. You arse licking twonk.

 

[TVexperto]

Went from being extremely excited to extremely disappointed. Guess I'll have to skip it , its not PvE anymore but forced PvP extraction shooter...yawn

 

[nial]

I unironically just want that PS5 Gravity Rush 2 remaster.

 

[FeralEcho]

E3 died for this garbage,remember.

 

[FeralEcho]

Yet it is here, and E3 is dead. The market has spoken.

Summer Games Fest is basically of the people,for the people,by the people....

The market is dumb as shit and we are in this shit state of an industry right now because of the market.

 

[xrnzaaas]

So, no reason to watch. Thanks Geoff. I won't

That was always the case. Just wake up the next day and watch the most interesting trailers filtered by the community.

 

[billthomas696969]

So we hate him when he "overhypes" and also hate him when he's being candid and managing expectations...

If he overhyped, I'd blame the companies for not having anything I want to watch, not Geoff himself. It's nice to feel like at least the person presenting is excited.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I don't know what everyone in this thread is going on about. Announcements generally suck. There's almost always no gameplay and usually there's barely any details. Give me the first gameplay seen of already announced titles over that nonsense any day.

Yeah, I partially agree. I don't really care for CGI trailers, or teasers that means nothing, or a presentation of a game sequel logo. I prefer to watch actual gameplay.

It's nice to know what new is in development though, although I don't really need a show for that.

 

[DeepEnigma]

We go through this crap every year. Haven't we all learned this by now? Or are we going to continue to be battered gaming simps?

 

[Danjin44]

If devs have nothing to show then it wouldn’t make much difference if there was E3 or not…..at end of the day its the games we get excited about, not the actual show itself.

Even before Covid the last couple of E3’s were pretty boring to watch for the very reason.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Sooooo we don't watch right?
This gen is a big fat JOKE

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Went from being extremely excited to extremely disappointed. Guess I'll have to skip it , its not PvE anymore but forced PvP extraction shooter...yawn

PvE games are a dime a dozen. There's been like 10 Extraction Shooters in history which makes it a much more thrilling new genre. Change your attitude, Son.

There’s some truth in it, but this “forced“ them to show what they had under their sleeves. With the second part I disagree, although those last ones were not the best E3s ever but they were still infinitely better than what we got after. The industry is just going downhill ever since 2020 in every sense.

Forcing them to show something when they have nothing to show is not exactly a good idea.

 

[SHA]

He's wired to Hideo Kojima, I respect him but his perception to the industry is just negative.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Well, we are far from the E3 of old but I'll still watch it as there are some already announced games that I would like to see updates for:

The Plucky Squire
Splinter Cell Remake
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D
Dragon Quest XII
Prince of Persia Remake
...etc

 

[hemo memo]

Isn’t this the default for this event? To not expect big reveals?

 

[ProtoByte]

That's what happens without crunch.

This gen keeps not delivering.
