Summary of Summer Game Fest: All the announcements and videos of the event, did you keep up with it?

The Last of Us Remake, Modern Warfare 2 and Street Fighter 6 are among the prominent games.

Expectations were high. Even after the notification from the main keeper of Summer Game Fest, who warned a few days before the start of the event that new game content will already be announced and there will not be many surprises in the form of unexpected games. Still, there was a great desire to enjoy a video game event filled with bombs and memorable trailers. not how, when Geoff Keighley raves for months [a sí mismo] and playing the mystery with this event that will replace the canceled E3 2022.

Summer Game Fest fell into the mistakes we’ve been criticizing for yearsDespite exciting announcements and quality trailers, Summer Game Fest fell into the same mistakes we’ve been criticizing (and hurting about) over the years: If you don’t have something interesting to show, hardly ever wear it. two hour event! Because once again, the outstanding news has been lost in a barrage of not-so-interesting conversations and little announcements that ruined the big video game party that was supposed to be in the summer. Anything to comment on? Yes, quite a lot! But at the end you’re talking to your teammates and reading the comments from the fans, and there seems to be a general feeling: Summer Game Fest did not live up to expectations.

The night started well with Street Fighter 6’s first fight, which served to see Guile in action, but considering Capcom surprised us with their gorgeous announcement trailer just a few days ago, it’s clear that the announcement has lost some of its potency. Play. The headline below was completely unexpected, a new alien game!, this time developed by the authors of the important Battlefleet Gothic Armada. And with an isometric perspective like these, it’s an action and strategy game that won’t be appreciated by all fans of the movie epic.

Another one we saw a few days ago is The Callisto Protocol, which surprised us once again with a long trailer. more severe more than the original and a first to let us see what the new game from one of Dead Space’s fathers looks like. Modern Warfare 2 also offered a comprehensive gameplay video, but as in previous cases, it was only a few hours before we got our first look at the game, so the impact was less.

Lots of ads, not all particularly interesting

It’s undeniable that Summer Game Fest has a plethora of announcements spread out over its nearly two-hour span, but there are so many announcements that there comes a point where you lose your mind and you hardly pay any attention to what’s going on. they show. And this is the worst thing that can happen in a state of features. it happened feedback as long awaited as Witchfire, which we finally see at work again; also super interesting games like Fort Solis, a narrative adventure set on Mars; A gameplay trailer for Marvel’s Midnight Suns, the latest from Firaxis Games, and even the announcement of Goat Simulator 3 (which never had a second episode) which might be one of the most absurd and hilarious trailers of the year.

It was the lack of bombs, surprises, announcements that really made up for the two hours.Despite all this, the Geoff Keighley event lacked the impact you would expect from such an event. The bombs, the surprises, the announcements that really made up for spending two hours in front of the screen were missing. And worst of all, the big final announcement you’ve always expected at an event with these features was leaked just hours before that megaton’s official rollout. What’s happening? There is no change in plans; He said the remake of The Last of Us was held to be the closure of Summer Game Fest, drawing even more power from the result. However, in order not to close the history on a negative note, months of real joy await us with the number of games to come. But it saddens us that we say goodbye to an event with such characteristics, with such a bitter taste in our mouths. (We) don’t seem to be learning.
