Don't Expect GTA 6, Judas, Beyond Good and Evil 2, or Josef Fares at Summer Game Fest

Keeping hype in check should be relayed to Geoff hyping up kingdom hearts and than doing that stream and killing everyone's hype

I respect Geoff for setting expectations. It's really easy to let theories and hopes to go wild, especially since we haven't heard a lot about what's coming in a long time! Personally, I'm expecting Spider-Man 2 DLC, stuff for Dragon's Dogma 2, and MAYBE something for Horizon (rumored remaster)?

Praying to god we don’t get any random celebrities. Why has Geoff invited people like Zack Snyder, Nicholas Cage, and The Rock to these announcement events. Like I can kinda get TGA, but not SGF or Gamescom

Don’t expect anything from Doritos’ event other than celebrities and ads.

I expect nothing unexpected I'm afraid ...

No multiple player crap

"Our show has nothing of interest"
-Geoff

I hate to join the grumble train but there is setting expectations and then there is diminishing hype. I would have left it alone after Geoff’s last don’t-get-too-excited spiel. Not a lot of new games or updates for games of current interest to the public. Got it.

Fine Geoff I won't waste my time watching your show, you really don't have to be so pushy about it 🙄

I kinda get Beyond Good and Evil 2 not being shown as Ubisoft have their own event and would want to save that for then. GTA 6 would most likely appear at a showcase with whoever they have a marketing deal with, possibly Sony later on in the year. But yeah Judas not being there is a disappointment, was looking forward to seeing more of that game.

The industry has conditioned its hardcore base to expect a blowout of big new reveals every summer. Just another thing to disappoint those who prop up the industry. Gaming is not in a good place right now, it's as bland and uninspired at that top AAA tier as it has ever been.

Weirdly as tech has developed in other industries it has allowed for more creativity and more tastes and genres to be explored and reach bigger audiences, TV and Music for example.

But for Gaming, at the top tier it has seen the opposite, as the tech has improved the variety has in turn lessened over and over again each generation. To the point where the current generation of systems almost feels like a write off.

So much hype for an already overrated event where 90% is just BS commercials.

LOL As if GTA 6 was ever going to be shown at this measly event.

Just gonna try enjoy the show for what it is. Its video games at the end of the day regardless if many of the reveals won't be to my tastes much at all. Do prefer The Game Awards a little more than SGF

Geoff is giving me many reasons not to tune in.

@themightyant that was exactly what I thought when I seen it's name mentioned in the headline. It's as of they chose the most random game that has never been officially cancelled it's been "in development" for more than 15 years and if it ever sees the light of day you just know it will now never live up to expectations.

Slightly off subject, but is it weird how the industry gives us remasters and remakes ad nauseaum, especially when an upcoming sequel is involved, and yet there’s no way to play the first Beyond Good & Evil on modern consoles? A lot of these remakes we didn’t really need and certainly didn’t ask for, [cough] Horizon Zero Dawn [cough], but the first BG&E would be perfect for a remake in preparation for the sequel. Many of us didn’t get a chance to play it on previous generations and I don’t really want to turn on my PS3 ever again if I can help it.

Edit: I spoke (typed) too soon. A quick google showed me that a remaster is in the works, so I must have missed that. According to the Wikipedia page, “The official release date is set in early 2024” 😂😂😂. Welp, that’s not happening.
Anyways… at least it exists and appears close to release. So, my bad.

I reckon that Abandoned game will get re-annouced the way things are going. What a crock of 💩 that whole thing was.

Echoing @themightyant I don’t expect to hear anything about BG&E 2 ever again. And if we do that will be the 3rd time they talk about a game that’s never coming out.😝

Hmmmmm I'm pretty sure this is what he said last year.

The big surprise ended up being cancelled hahahaha.

But reality check aren't these events ment to be big reveals otherwise what's the point when we already know the existing games and they'll be put out wither way.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is failed vaporware at this point. It’s never coming.

Haha that picture is great. Only needs a Kojima BFF locket around his neck and it'd be perfect.

Actually, don't expect any games at all. Just a bunch of ads and celebrity cameos + Kojima just talking for 30 minutes.
