I think we need E3
Well, it’s here! The initial “big push” Summer Game Fest stream just ended. Here’s a big old Summer Game Fest 2022 recap: emphasis on old.
Vibe check? I was heavily reminded of the low key nature of the PC Gaming Show throughout: where it was hard to tell what was actually a reveal and what had been shown weeks or months ago. There were lots of ads and a few “exclusives/world firsts” that were basically modified existing trailers. The Rock stopped by to plug his energy drink (twice) and showed off a trailer for his new movie, Black Adam. The “one more thing” final announcement was The Last of Us remake, which wouldn’t have even hit that hard if it wasn’t leaked.
At the end of the stream Geoff noted that Summer Game Fest will return as an “in person and digital event” in 2023. Hey, what a coincidence: the ESA just said E3 is allegedly doing the same! 2023 is going to be another disjointed free-for-all, isn’t it?
Everything that happened at Summer Game Fest 2022:
