 @K with the summary of what we can expect to see in these fallow post-pandE3mic times:

Visibly dejected Geoff Keighley says Summer Game Fest will focus on already announced games, which have already been released and are mostly not that good. "Join us for non-exclusive footage of games like Back 4 Blood, Mass Effect: Andromeda and FIFA 19, most of which you will have played and may even have completed," said Keighley in an unengaging, low-energy appearance on the GameDudes youtube channel. Keighley, alternating between sitting slumped at a desk and not being on camera at all, primed viewers for a show packed with widely-seen content, presented in a mostly competent style. "You won't enjoy these games particularly, and you will believe some of the reveals we have planned," said the arch-showman and king of gamer razzle-dazzle in a dread monotone. "Watch Dogs: Legion is about the best you can hope for".

 

It's enough to drive you to drink. In time honoured fashion, let's all get smashed for this 🍻 😐

 

Geoff "The Pube" Kieghley's shite trainers are a given, but what else we expecting to see?

This is the Summer Game Fest 2022 thread, wise-ass. That 2020 thread is so old you were in there predicting there'd be nothing shite about Cyberpunk 2077 😉

[Chindie]

Set phasers to Meh.

[Calashnikov]

Love how none of the games listed in that tweet would actually count as a World Premiere should they make their appearance. Classic Summer Game Fest.

2 hrs ffs.
 

If it was anything like last year we can expect 1 or 2 big chunky news items and then a whole lot of padding.

 

Maybe this year will be different be because there’s no rival E3 etc.

I'm in for Midnight Suns

We're all going to be so drained trying to maintain the necessary levels of shitposting for such a lengthy stretch of time.

Exclusive interviews with Ubisoft's former "Mr. Caffeine", a Twitch streamer you've never heard of and Geoff Keighley interviewing himself

Trailers for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Sniper Elite 5, Tunic and Trek to Yomi

Live performance of the Babylon's Fall lobby music

The stream going down.

Twice.

A better experience if you do literally anything else for a couple of hours and skim through the liveblog that someone else has written.

 

(I'll still watch it live  )

[Mr Do 71]

There is one big surprise, what footwear will Geoff be wearing!!

[joffocakes]

Will watch for Street Fighter.

Don't forget there's the bound-to-be-excellent Capcom Showcase next week as well!

 

[Vemsie]

Will watch because it's at a nice time and I'm looking forward to seeing more Callisto Protocol and Cuphead.

[bradigor]

Thank fuck for Wholesome Direct at the weekend. That list is so uninspiring.

[Quest]

I know they mean well but I really hate the word 'wholesome'.

[teddymeow]

Oh God, will there be a TOTP style music performance by a band who are on this year's FIFA soundtrack, or some low-grade celebrity  shite, to break up the under-whelming string of "WORLD PREEEEEEMEERS"?

 

Cynical? Moi?!

 

I will now prepare to put mustard on those words, for I am sure I will soon be consuming them along with a slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame, set at gas mark egg on my face when this turns out to be all the megatonz.

[Mr Do 71]

Last year’s performance was good, it was Japanese Breakfast.

It occurs to me that there are several IMAX cinemas screening this all over America today. Imagine that
