To no one's surprise, Geoff Keighley is hyping up his own show lol.

Who's watching this today? You think we'll get some good announcements?

I'll be sleeping since I work overnight. Even if I was off today I still wouldn't waste my time watching anything that clown is hyping. He's never delivered on the hype.

World Premiere

I'll stick it on in the back ground while I'm doing other stuff.

As a console gamer I'm interested in watching every event involving showing new or updates on console games.

Even this tits show

Apparently some insiders suggest sony is dropping some news cause Keighley and Sony is best buds. Nah more like the organizers just trying to garner views.

Death Stranding Ultimax?

Wow that doritos chip looks like I can just touch it🤣

ELDEN RING WILL BE SHOWN ELDEN RING WILL BE SHOWN ELDEN RING WILL BE SHOWN

Will try to check out some of this if I can but may have to watch it later. Really looking forward to seeing what gets shown off here. Hopefully a lot of Elden Ring and a bunch of other cool stuff.

One more hour, whoop whoop! Time to be disappointed 😎

Summer Game Fest is now live!

Hideo Kojima!

Just got here. Anything good announced so far?

Jeff Goldblum!

CG trailers should be banned.

I played a bit of the first Jurassic Park Evolve game and it seemed ok. Evolve 2 will probably be kind of fun too but I likely won’t jump on it right away.

That song the little Asian lady sang was delightful.

The Call Of Duty mom lady talking about growth and using words like "badass" was quite cancery.

Ryan Reynolds with that Elden Ring quip. 😂

Well, this is turning out to be more substantive than I thought it would be. I'm impressed.

Chivalry dope.

Unfortunate no VR. Be 10 times dopper.

I've watched the first 10 minutes and my expectations have already been surpassed lol

A horror game taking place in Iraq with America/Iraq soldiers is a interesting idea over the usual stuff.

Agree, this has been a good show! Nice pace and lots of interesting (smaller) games,

Really looking forward to that Tales of Arise game.

The Covid forcing them to focus on games.

Haha, you may have a point! No outdrawn sport star interviews.

@Sushiglutton: Spoke too soon guess. Bit of DnD cringe going on.

What's the name? Haven't been watching.

@wandering_halls: House of Ashes

Has heavy opening Exorcist vibes.

Elden Ring!!! Holy fucking shit!

Now that's a Hell of a way to end the show.

January 21st, 2022. Wow. Geoff Keighley just dropped the mic. Gonna be difficult to for any other E3 show to top that.

Elden Ring looks exactly like what anyone would expect from Fromsoft. If it was called Dark Souls 4, no one would have question it. Why bother with a new name.

Here it is, Elden Ring has been shown.

Oh shit, only a few months out!

@Pedro: spot on! I am sure DS fans will have a field day with this and @hardwarezen will crap his pants for sure! But for me personally it’s a hard pass as I never enjoyed DS or blood borne and this looks excactly like those!

Thier games looks waay too similar. it looks exact same as Demon souls and Dark souls and bloodborne.

Generic.

Meh, Elden Ring looked more of the same. I'm tired of Souls like formula. Would rather they have evolved Sekiro.

Exactly. thats what I have to say. thier fans be like "OMG greatest thing ever" it looks exact same as Demon souls in 2009. same undead guy with sword and RPG elements in dark fantasy world.

if they donot reveal the name i would have though its dark soul 4.

I'm still excited for the game but I have to admit it looks like Dark Souls. I was hoping it would look a little bit different. Also the graphics looks dated. The Demon's Souls remake looks better. But we should wait and see what the actual full game will be like. I wonder how involved George RR Martin is with the game.

@ghosts4ever: "Exactly. thats what I have to say. thier fans be like "OMG greatest thing ever" it looks exact same as Demon souls in 2009. same undead guy with sword and RPG elements in dark fantasy world."

I CAN'T be the only one laughing at this.

probably can thank him for the dragons in the trailer ;) maybe they're going for a less subtle method of story telling with this one

My my, what a lovely new glass house I spot in this thread. Amusing it is to watch its occupant keep throwing stones at it.

It is Ghost. He is actively goes against his own complaints when he likes a game.

What's the big deal about Elden Ring? Not knocking it, just want to understand the hype and why it's been sought after so much.

Because it is Elden Ring.

Beats me. As I have said, it looks like Dark Souls 4.🤷🏽‍♀️

It's a new title from a highly acclaimed developer. Yeah, it's a developer who just do one thing, and yeah, I personally don't really agree with that; I've always said I believe a true test of a developer's ability is when they do something completely different. However, that one thing is something FromSoftware does really well, and I can respect that. Whatever floats their boat, and I'm not here to sink it.

As for specifics, their formula is pretty established at this point: grim dying world, high difficulty combat based on resource management, interconnected world design where if you see something in the distance you'll eventually get to go there, and inscrutable plot that you piece together over time. It's not for everyone, but it's for enough people to sell by the millions with every instalment, so it's definitely significant.

Dunno if I'll buy it myself. Tried Dark Souls II and wasn't really grabbed, but I did enjoy Remnant: From the Ashes and Jedi Fallen Order, so I'm not ready to shut the door on the genre just yet. As always, I'm open minded.

Lmao you nailed it!
