I think we need E3Well, it's here! The initial "big push" Summer Game Fest stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqXeohrnoaY) 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 artifice 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 through a Zoom call to plug his energy drink (twice) and showed off a trailer for his new movie, Black Adam. The "one more thing" final announcement was a The Last of Us remake, which wouldn't have hit that hard for a lot of people (myself included) even if it wasn't leaked (https://www.destructoid.com/the-last-of-us-remake-is-coming-to-ps5-this-year-pc-in-development/).
The lower energy aura has been the prevailing wind in the air since E3 left the main stage in 2020. Instead of a unified weekend/slice of time where everyone can hone in, take off work, and get excited together: we're once again repeating the formula of spreading out split-up showcases. Despite the call to have less of those (https://www.destructoid.com/geoff-keighley-says-2022s-summer-game-fest-will-be-more-killer-less-filler/), there's actually a healthy amount on track for next week, not to mention the rest of the summer. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with a never-ending cavalcade of these things if they all delivered (even on an unintentionally comical, "laser/tag Mr. Caffeine" level): not all of them do.
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 (https://www.destructoid.com/esa-says-e3-2023-event-will-definitely-be-back-in-person/)! 2023 is going to be wild y'all.
