Summer game fest is one of the main digital activities in the game industry this summer. It will start at 2 a.m. (Beijing time) on June 10. At that time, various new announcements in the industry will be released. Microsoft has also announced other activities such as Xbox and Bethesda game fairs and PC Game fairs in the summer. Geoff Keighley said that the number of third-party digital fairs is expected to decrease compared with last year.
At the audio conference of twitter spaces, Geoff Keighley, creator of the game awards and summer game Fest, said that this was because publishers did not have enough content to support their activities. Last year's exhibition reception is a proof, so players can expect them to appear in a larger "first party" exhibition or summer game Festival.
"There were a lot of activities last year, and everyone was disappointed because they were not real press conferences, right? Companies such as take two, Capcom, skwell and so on. I think they have realized that if you want to make a press conference, you need more than 30 minutes of content. Sometimes they only have one or two excellent games to show, which may not be enough to make a complete event." "So I think it's going to be a change. I know exactly what's going to happen next month, when players will accept the hype of major works," Keighley said
Keighley also pointed out that "there is a lack of games, which is partly affected by covid... Many games have been delayed because they only started during the epidemic. Of course, we still hope to show a lot of things." As for the Summer Games Festival, he pointed out that 15 guests would attend. Some media members will also personally experience some games.
"I don't think players will be completely satisfied in June and get all the game information they want. This has never really been realized, but I hope you can still have a good time. There will be different details in summer, which is what I've been telling people: it's not replacing E3, but a different atmosphere and feeling. I don't make games, I just sit here and pray to present it to players Something cool. "
Keighley had previously tweeted that he was pleased with the number of "original live clips of various games" to be displayed on June 10. "There are a lot of trailers, but there are also some great real-world operations!"
