Good riddance! They are probably following EA's example of pulling out of these summer game showcases altogether, because they know they have jack shit to present

How quickly we all forgot when Cyberpunk 2077 launched, or even when they first revealed gameplay for it.
Eh, i bought it on launch and it was fine.Not great, but fine.

There were some bugs, but not noticable more than on other releases. But i play on PC which obviously was the main platform it was developed for while the consoles only got shitty ports. Usually you get it the other way around but other games get not panned if they work well on one platform but are buggy on another. So why Cyberpunk ?
------------

Upcoming games i somewhat care for are Yotei and particularly EU5.

I really hope the new Crazy 🚕 Taxi and Streets of Rage Revoultion get revealed at one of these events. We need actual more gameplay footage now and not just fifteen to twenty second clips.

Also saw someone mention Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, the new sci-fi IP from Naughty Dog.

And my gut intuition is telling me they are gonna make a big deal out of this today.

And we all know the anti woke brigade is going to be bitching again about the game whenever featured on this SOP.

Look at all those opportunities for Silksong to not be mentioned.
Yeah they had to delay the announcement of the delay.

Alright, here we go with state of play; Will it be good? Will it be bad? Let's find out!

First off, we have Lumines arise. A visual puzzle game, filled with particle effects to the beat. Not sure if this was worth a spotlight, but w/e.

Pragmata. A new IP from Capcom. Third-person shooter/adventure game. Looks kinda nice, NGL.

Romeo is a dead man. A sci-fi action game. The story feels like Rick and Morty inspired.

Silent Hill F. Holy shit, this looks terrifying. Reminds me of both The Ring and Ju-on movies. And is that gradual damage to the clothes I see? Coming out this September!

Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement. Yep, that's definitely a spiritual successor of Castlevania

Digimon Story Time Stranger. A digimon RPG In Persona style

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles! Holy shit, SE finally remembered FFT exists! Hopefully, it comes to PC soon!

Babysteps; one of those rage-inducing walking simulator, with some hilarious dialogues.

Hirogami. Wow, the art style looks good!

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound! Omg, the re-endition of stage 4-2 theme is amazing!

Cairn. It's a survival resource management game to climb a mountain.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection. A collection of all the classic MK games.

MGS Delta Snake Eater. My god, it looks good. They are adding some sort of multiplayer. Huh.

Nioh 3. They are never gonna run out of creatres/monsters they can pull from Japnanese mythology, aren't they?

Thief: Legacy of Shadow. Revival of a classic franchise... in VR. Sigh.....

Tides of Tomorrow A multiplayer game where you can see the a glimpse of previous player's choice, and you can decide whether to do the same or go the other direction.

Sea of Remnants. How hilarious is that This looks way better than Skull and Bones? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the unique art style, actual naval combat, and the ocean and islands that look fun to explore! /s

Sword of the Sea. The next relaxing adventure game from the creators of Abzu and Journey. And just like with their previous works, the visuals look phenomenal!

Classic PS and PS2 games are coming to PS4/PS5; Deus Ex, RE3, Twisted Metal

007: First Light; A James Bond game... from Amazon. What? It's from the guys who made the Hitman reboot. And I can see the similarities; Except the MC is more talkative and there are a lot more explosions.

Ghost of Yotei. Now featuring a wolf companion

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. A Marvel fighting game without Capcom characters. Looks amazing, NGL. 4v4 tag team battle sounds amazing. But will it be enough to make it stand out amongst other fighting games?


Overall:

If you can't tell already, FFT has sold me over! SE, you know people on PC will throw money at you. Come on, make the PC release soon!

Lots of stuff that got me excited, and surprisingly no live-service games, Intergalactic: HP, nor Horizon game.

Nope. Suda51 and Grasshopper have been doing this crazy and goofy shit, long before punk-ass biatch Roiland had Rick as a mere thought in his head. I've noticed they're more inspired by Chainsaw Man than anything combined with their usual style. This game is basically Killer Is Dead 2.

Romeo Is A Dead Man


007 First Light


Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls


Lumines Arise

Here we go with the main SGF event! Going with cautious optimism.

At the first thing that caught my attention was Geoff's fine ass.... shoes.

And we open this with an indie game.... Mortal Shel 2? WTF, who asked for this? Souls-like fatigue has been going on for a long time. Also, it looks like a fever dream for all the edge lords.

Fortnite Star Wars Event. NGL, it looks decent. How hilarious is it that Fortnite is giving more SW content that EA? For free, no less?

Kojima is here for more on Death Stranding 2. Wow, the graphical fidelity is insane. And the plot looks just as bonkers as the first game and the MGS games. Also think the soundtrack feels unlike anything I've ever heard. Apparently more gameplay incoming this Sunday. But which event?

Chronicle Medieval. Another indie game, narrated by Tom Hardy. A medieval-era battle sim, kinda like Chivarly 2. Except I think this is a single-player?

Sonic Cross-world. A sonic racing game. Not my cup of tea, but I can definitely see it as a competitor to Mario Kart World. Also have a bunch of guest characters from other games like Joker from Persona 5, Hatsume Miku, and Ichiban Kasuga from Like a dragon. I wonder if any more characters from Japanese games are gonna join? Also Minecraft crossover? huh.

Code Vein 2. Really hope it does something unique as a souls-like, other than being anime.

End of Abyss. An actual in-house game from Epic. Isometrc-view horror shooter. Probably not gonna get it since I hate EGS with passion

More on Mouse P.I. Man, this looks good. But it also has Troy Baker has the main character. ehh....

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros. I think it's a strategy game? I can't even tell what is going on in the universe anymore. GRRM hasn't even finished writing the next book yet. The universe is seriously getting out of hand.

Atomic Heart 2. Really hope they improve story this time.

The Cube, an MMORPG shotter in the Atomic Heart universe. No thanks!

Marvel Cosmic Invasion. side-scroller beat'em up. Looks really good.

Omnimusha: Way of the sword. Dang Capcom!

Felt That Boxing; An action game with puppets. Holy shit, now this is a creative use of UE5.

Killer Inn. Murder Mystery Action game. Hard pass for me. I can already see players would rather troll and do shit for the laughs rather than actually solve the mystery.

Arc Raiders. No Geoff, nobody was excited for this. In fact, I'm sure everyone had forgotten about it. Co-op Extraction shooter + live-service? Yeah let's see exactly just how long this game lasts

Dune: Awakening. Make sense to be a multiplayer, but it looks really boring.

Chrono Odyssey This is the third time I saw souls-like in this event.

Mio: MEmeoreis in Orbit. A metroidvania game in a cell-shaded art style

Out of Words. A co-op game made in stop-motion style. Didn't even know such thing was possible, but the at least it looks great

Mafia: The Old Country. You know, I think I will be quoting Godfather a lot.

Lego Voyagers. a 2-player co-op game. And you know what? It looks amazing. It captures the very essence of what makes Lego so great. Building stuff for fun

Nick toons and the dice of destiny. A cross-over adventure game featuring Nickelodeon characters.

More look at Lies of P Expansion, Overtune. Oh this looks great. and designed to bust my balls. Shadowdropping TODAY!!!

Fractured Blooms. Hard to comment.

Blade and Soul Neo/Hero, Ehhh. The presentation was all over the place. Why is One-punch man here?

Seven Deadly Sins game. Yeah I wouldn't recommend this unless you are a fan of the series.

Jurassic World Evolution 3. So....where is Jurassic Park Sruvival?l

Mina is finally coming out!

Deadpool VR. W/e

Dying Light the beast.

Scott Pilgrim EX Let's go!!!!

More on Mindseye. STill looks generic, NGL

Lego Party. Are they just asking for lawsuit from Nintendo?

ILL. It's like "Fine, I'll do it myself" Resident Evil game....

.....ANNNDDD We have an actual RE game! Actually we have no idea what the game is gonna be about. Just confirmation that the next game is being worked on, and we'll see more on RE anniversary! READ BELOW!!!!

Splitgate 2 Battle Royale..... Why?

Stranger than heaven; A game set in 1943 Osaka. I think it's gonna be a dark sandbox?

And we close the SGF with...... Holy shit, actual RE9 Requiem!!! Feb 2026! Hell the fuck yes! Grace Ashcroft will be the main character of ‘RESIDENT EVIL: REQUIEM’ She is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from ‘Resident Evil: Outbreak’

Okay, so RE9 was obivously the best thing to be announced. There were ones with unique artstyles, too many souls-likes (I only liked overtune shadow-drop), and others were not my cup of tea.

It was better than last year I guess?

I'm interested in ILL.

And they're actually making it open world River City/Kunio. Took them long enough.

Let's go!

You forgot about the new Wu-Tang game!

who asked for this?
The fans. Also, Mortal Shell sold more than well enough to warrant a sequel. I might check the sequel out due to the tone shift and how bonkers the combat freaking looks! I rarely ever get interested in Souls clones.
