SGF was the best show. Highlights for me were FF Revelation and Resident Evil Veronica. I think if Nintendo had actually shown a little bit of OOT Remake they would be the clear second place choice (or maybe even #1 depending on how good OOT Remake is) but because they showed so little and didn't have much new Nintendo titles, I think their showing isn't even enough for 2nd place. I would say Xbox's showcase won second place with an impressive showing including a very promising Gears E Day, a new Spyro finally being unveiled (thanks partly to Xbox's financial support for Toys For Bob), Fable continuing to look really good, a few other noteworthy reveals (Doom DLC, Persona 6 reveal, Crazy Taxi) and reenergized enthusiasm for the Xbox brand with the return of console exclusives.

Playstation at 2? Are you joking?

I'm infact not joking.

MS announced a fair number of upcoming projects too. Most aren't my bag, but if you're into shooters, there was a lot of future content shown. That Magicians game tickled my brain.

My idea of a good show is biased towards new announcements too, which is why SGF takes the cake this year.

The only upcoming shooter I care about is Judas and a possible Destiny 3.

1. Summer Games Fest / Geoff Keighley (FF7R, Ueda, SB2, etc)

2. Nintendo (Xenoblade, KH4, Zelda)

3. Playstation (poor showing)

4. Xbox (would have made it third if the P6 reveal had gameplay)

Summer Game Fest easy win for me.

I found it pretty surprising that there was nothing from Square Enix at the Sony show. SE presented FF7:Revelation at Gamefest and presented multiple games including Kingdom Hearts 4 at the Nintendo show. Sony got absolutely nothing, not even a 2DHD game like FF: Resonance. Huge change from a couple of years ago when Sony was moneyhatting SE in order to get timed exclusives like FF 16 and Forspoken.

What???
Most/many of the (non first party) games Nintendo shown is coming to PC. In fact, the following already have Steam pages:
- Final Fantasy Resonance
- One Piece: Grand Gourmet
- Muramasa
- Pikuniku 2
- Atelier Karia

And these are confirmed to be released on PC as well:
- Kingdom Hearts 4
- Dragon Quest Monsters
- Tales of Eternia Remastered

Other than Kingdom Hearts 4, none of those games interest me lol. They're mostly niche titles. Even dragon quest, the spin-offs barely sell at all outside Japan. I think the last DQ monsters only just passed 1m sales.

FFXVI bombed as a PS5 exclusive and FFVII Rebirth's sales disappointed as a PS5 exclusive. Japan is Nintendo land and S-E needs their titles to move beyond Playstation "soft" exclusives

As a PC only player.

Summer Game Fest > Xbox Showcase = Nintendo Direct >> State of Play

Usually everybody loses for me, but this year I have to say that the 25th anniversary Xbox + Halo + Gears + Crazy Taxi, all looking good, made me quite happy for once.

1. Summer Game Fest: This was an easy #1. Which is surprising because I find the majority of Keighley's shows to be a terrible way to spend an evening, but credit where it's due. He really brought it this time.

2. Xbox Games Showcase: This and #3 are really close. A lot of stuff at both shows that doesn't interest me at all. I'll give the edge to Xbox for having one of the coolest reveals out of all the shows (Magicians), and Clockwork Revolution - one of the very few announced games heading into the summer games season that I was looking forward to - continues to look like a strong GOTY contender for 2027.

3. State of Play: A few nice looking trailers (Tomb Raider, ILL) but Playstation first-party continues to not do it for me right now. Beyond tired of anything Marvel, and God of War Laufey looks like a major swing & a miss.

4. Nintendo Direct: This was a dud. Not a well-put together presentation even if there were games there that interested you. But as someone not into JRPGs or that excited about old games being ported over, this Direct was tough to sit through. Not showing any gameplay of OoT remake at the end was lame as fuck.
