Geoff Keighley has urged fans to “manage your expectations” ahead of the live broadcast of Summer Game Fest this week, noting that the show will focus primarily on games that have already been announced.
In a Twitter Spaces session transcribed by VGC, Geoff Keighley, who is usually exceptionally optimistic when it comes to creating hype, said it was a “really exciting week” for him, as “he will finally see things we have been talking to people “. for months. ”The specific games mentioned by Geoff include the recently announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, The Callisto Protocol, and Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course.
While claiming that the program will involve a “couple of new game announcements”, he urged not to wait for many “megaton” announcements:
“What I would say is that many of the matches we will show will be you [already] announced … games will show you new content, like some of the ones I mentioned. We have a couple of new game announcements in the show and look forward to some surprises if all goes well. But it is definitely a program focused primarily on the things that are advertised.
“So we’re doing good things for you, but we’re definitely managing your expectations for the megaton shocks you’re expecting. That’s not The Game Awards. We have a lot of good things to show you, but the buyer is careful. of some of the crazy rumors I’m seeing in terms of things that people expect to be announced. “
What does this mean for Nintendo, in particular? Well, not much. Although nothing has been announced at the time of writing, we expect a Nintendo Direct release to be released sometime this month, and Geoff Keighley is unlikely to be aware of Nintendo’s plans. the best of cases. That means Nintendo could come out with a Direct any day, and if recent history has anything to do with it, it will contain at least a couple of “megaton” ads. We can’t wait.
