SummerGameFest Expectations and Dreams
With only one more week to go, what do you guys expect to see at SummerGameFest? Or maybe more importantly, what do you HOPE to see at Geoff's yearly Gaming Show? Not only that, but the entire SummerGameFest. Including the Xbox showcase, PC Gaming Show, probably a State of Play and Nintendo Direct. In short, let's talk games! :)

My own expectation and dreams:

Expectations:

- Hollow Knight Silksong
- The Witcher 4
- Ghost of Yōtei
- Mafia: The Old Country
- Borderlands 4
- Tomb Raider Game
- Fable
- Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake
- Little Nightmares 3
- Death Stranding 2
- Resident Evil 9
- OD by Hideo Kojima
- Kingdom Hearts 4
- Mass Effect 5
- Bioshock 4
- Dying Light: The Beast
- Crimson Desert
- Wolverine
- Lies of P DLC
- Marathon

Dreams:

- Bloodborne Remake + PC Port. And otherwise, something else from FromSoftware
- Half Life 3 (To see the internet go rogue)
- Something about The Elder Scrolls 6
- Super Mario Galaxy 3
- Need For Speed Most Wanted Remake (2005)
- Fallout New Vegas 2
- Control 2
- Far Cry 7
- Ratchet and Clank Trilogy Remake + PC Port
- Astrobot PC Port
- Horizon 3
- KNACK 3, BABYYYYY!!!

Yes, my expectations are... generous, to say the least, but I think it's gonna be a big year!

Euh, yeah. Gets bigger every year. SummerGameFest 2024 had 35 Million viewers across all platforms. So yeah, people watch that stuff. And not just a few people.

"The Alters". That looks like a great game.

You won't get any game announcement there. If you look at the logo for the partner it is not the Nintendo logo but the Switch 2 logo. Which means that it is nothing more than an ad spot. So you probably get Paul Rudd making an appearance. Maybe play a bit Mario Kart World but it won't be anything major.

I get that, that's why I put Super Mario Galaxy 3 in the Dreams part of the thing. They are gonna be talking about Switch 2 a lot, for sure, and with that comes Mario Kart world, definitely. But I think Nintendo realizes that they need another banger like Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild. And personally, I'd love a Super Mario Galaxy 3. Even though I don't own a Switch. :)

The only thing I care about is Serious Samus 4: Beyond Prime.

"Hype" is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Better to not have any "hopes and dreams" for games, and be pleasantly surprised by stuff, instead of internet raging about "feature X which they sorta-kinda-didn't 'promise' but I imagined would be there, isn't there, so this is the Worst Game Ever!"

Well, luckily I'm open-minded and just see what they will bring to the table. I always enjoy these kind of things, although I must confess I think that last year's SGF opening show was a little bit on the weaker side. Usually I don't make a list or something like this, basically the first time. I thought it might be a fun idea what other people would like seeing at the show. Not really hyping something up here.

Never heard of it.
Reading that it's hosted by a 'games journalist' is enough to remind me of Cuphead and just stick to watching things on Steam like the Steam Summer Sale and developer-specific streams.

Geoff Keighley has been doing this since COVID. He is also the founder of The Game Awards. Think of him being a journalist what you want, he is a respected man in the industry. Has a ton of connections, and it shows. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to start up an online event with so many big names on the roster since E3 fell.

He was born with connections, his father's connections.

Then, he sold out.

I'll always remember him as the guy from the Spike Video Game Awards, on that dumb "boobs & trampolines" drunk fratbro cable channel, and wonder how he ever became a thing people care about.

If you believe those figures. Personally, I don't. It's far too easy to make such claims, just look at Ubisoft and their latest flop. They claim millions of people bought the game via their social channels, but they won't release figures to their shareholders...

It's even easier to fudge viewing numbers for a glorified advert such as SummerGameFest.
