Says that Summer Games Fest will mainly be about already announced titles. The hypemaster is getting ahead of things so we're all prepared ahead of time for a show full of Indie titles.

"He added: “So we’re doing some good stuff for you, but definitely manage your expectations in terms of the megaton shocks that you’re expecting. This is not The Game Awards. We’ve got lots of good stuff to show you but buyer beware of some of the crazy rumors I’m seeing out there in terms of things people expect to get announced.”

Backtracking already. Must have just had the silent hill trailer pulled

 

[mansoor1980]

indie games festival it is then

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

In a better note, at least he is placing it as a normal event, and not imploding it with false expectations so I give it:

%

It wont be bad

 

[ManaByte]

 

[DenchDeckard]

2022 has been and will go down in history as a shite year for gaming...outside of gotg Elden Ring.

 

[ParaSeoul]

He said this a while back

 

[Portugeezer]

If he is saying that, then there's no hope.

 

[K' Dash]

My expectations were already six feet under.

Geoff Keighley says Summer Game Fest will be ‘primarily focused’ on announced games​

Ragnarok is coming.

 

[H4ze]

Keighley is a good man, contain your useless bashing. He ows you nothing.

 

[Warnen]

Ragnarok is coming.

In 2023…

 

[Lognor]

So it's going to be trash? Got it. Won't follow

Oh damn. Okay. Not what I expected but it is what it is.

 

[TastyPastry]

usually he is overhyping his shows, if he's tempering expectation already that probably means there really won't be much exciting stuff announced

 

[Wooxsvan]

Fun delayed until next year. got it. will manage

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Does this statement include the Game Pass showcase?

 

[AJUMP23]

He could bury E3 this year and he didn't bring the receipts.

 

[MasterCornholio]

In 2023…

Hasn’t been announced yet FYI. So it’s still a maybe.

 

[Fbh]

If the master of overhyping shitty events is telling us to manage our expectations you already know the event is going to be really bad.

usually he is overhyping his shows, if he's tempering expectation already that probably means there really won't be much exciting stuff announced

Dude talks about "amazing reveals" when he has shit like Fall Guys dlc to show

So if he is underhyping this it must be truly terrible.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I'd rather have new info on announced games than tons of "world premieres" like at the game awards and most of them turn out to be nothing.

 

[rofif]

indie games festival it is then

Yep.
No bb remaster, sh, kojima, Sony at all

 

[Punished Miku]

Good. I hope it sucks.

Then E3 can come back next year and hopefully not shit the bed.

 

[johnjohn]

Does this statement include the Game Pass showcase?

No, this is about his show on Thursday.

 

[TVexperto]

just cancel it then. summer games fest lmao he shits on e3 but has nothing else to show than cashing in privately

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

No, this is about his show on Thursday.

Ok

 

[Kilau]

In 2023…

I’ve bet this sweet avatar on 2022.

 

[SlimySnake]

This industry sucks.

 

[DR3AM]

He's basically saying that there will not be anything announced from From Software

 

[Kacho]

2022

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wow, is this the first time he's actually said that? I wonder if it's a bluff? I don't trust Dorito Pope.

That being said, my expectations have been reserved for years now, and it's the best approach. But I swear even when my expectations are extremely low or completely absent, I'm somehow still disappointed, lmao.

 

[lh032]

Hasan stop fooling around, your move now.

 

[Kev Kev]

oh dont worry geoff, my expectations are its going to be shit, just like the last 2 summer shit fests

 

[YukiOnna]

He's been saying that a good couple of times now and elaborated how people keep expecting an Elden Ring tier showing or the Game Awards, but it likely won't happen due to the game industry circumstances.

Won't bother me though, I'm sure it'll be a fun show like always.

 

[Markio128]

I think I’ll just have a catch up on this Summer Games Fest - I have a feeling I won’t be missing out on much.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

2022 has been and will go down in history as a shite year for gaming...outside of gotg Elden Ring.

It depends on where you play.
I do think this fall will go down as one of the most uneventful ones. If God of War Ragnarok comes out this year, it'll be carried by this release and even more by Call of Duty and that's it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Master of Roller Coasters.

 

[Kev Kev]

but definitely manage your expectations in terms of the megaton shocks that you’re expecting. This is not The Game Awards.

 

[adamsapple]

#TeamDelay

 

[CatLady]

When the master of hype says "manage your expectations" it's very ominous. My guess is it will be a bad indie game fest.

 

[SJRB]

I am still expecting carpet-bombings of megatons.

CARPET

BOMBING

MEGATONS

 

[Roman Empire]

Not surprised. Good to know beforehand. Will catch up a re-cap when things are done.

 

[Swift_Star]

I have so many games to play already I don’t care.

 

[jorgejjvr]

good to know, no megaton, nothing exciting

just more of what we know. Like i will get to see more on Modern warfare 2, but we already know that exists.

Guess we will have to wait for Xbox showcase then

 

[Ozriel]

Imagine signing deals to bring Summer Games Fest to theaters and now managing expectations at this stage.

 

[MudoSkills]

Update on Goodbye Volcano High incoming.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I mean, IF silksong is there, it will already be good lol

 

[sircaw]

ITs going to be amazing

If its not, i blame adamsapple for hyping it

 

[.Pennywise]

When is this showcase again?
