Some news can't wait for E3.
A schedule for all of the currently announced game conferences in June 2024, including the Summer Game Fest 2024 date and times.
For the first time in a long time I have a hard time feeling excited for these events. Maybe it's because of all these massive lay offs and closures there hasn't exactly been good news since the start of the year.
Maybe come next week I'll get a little more excited but I dunno I just can't get too excited right now
Cancelling e3 and introducing some ridiculous events..
Times have changed.. to the worse
Back then it was very exciting, great looking trailers, on stage live gameplay where yes things can and have went wrong but that's how we knew it was a real games being played instead of curated footage extra doctored up that didn't even represent the actual game half the time. Games would release 6 months to a year max not 3 years later.
I miss past E3's even the goofiness like Giant enemy crab or Riiiidge Raceeer. Xbox and Kinect glitching Nintendo's craziness. Again it was real, these days there so protective, clean, doctored sets, where nothing can absolutely go wrong. Too strict and professional with heavy PR babble with buzzwords that mean nothing. Being professional is not bad but when it's fake and corporate heavy where you're made to buy into the words rather than the game, that's how you know it's not real.
Now SFG is just sizzle reeling all the games at once. Plus past SGF events haven't been that great either. Maybe that's not Geoffs fault but the pubs and devs are simply never ready to show anything and have to wait. This gen we've been waiting and waiting for these games.
Plus lay offs as I Mentioned. I dunno Geoff needs to do what made E3 great back then, get funding support and do live stage gameplay he has the support and so why not? Pubs and devs need to do their own thing at the event again. No more doctored bull crap with PR diarrhea trying to sell the game show us with a controller in your hand instead of making empty promises.
Rant over.

I will never forget the pre-e3 one year where Kojima was teasing MGS Rising.. and Peace Walker.
Such an incredible period where studios enjoyed what they were doing and teasing their work weeks before the event.
Nowadays is half baked games, cross gen titles, useless mid gen upgrades. There is no hype anymore.
Last great show I remember is the PS EXPERIENCE maybe 3 or 4 years ago in December
Is it just me or is there little to no buzz or marketing leading up to this compared to previous SGF?
Because they've been consistently boring for the last couple of years. Hard to get worked up for it now
It'll be June sometimes no doubt, I'm guessing the Saturday 10th the day after Xbox showcase or maybe sometime the following week
The VP of Marketing at Boosteroid revealed that the company is in talks with major publishers to secure exclusive games on the service.
So they're adding Skull and Bones to their service? That doesn't seem exciting at all lol.
"Following a great event in November of last year, DevGAMM Lisbon is coming back to the beautiful and sunny Cascais region to catch up with old friends, connect with game developers from around the world, hear from seasoned professionals, and have a great time all around." - DevGAMM.
It’s not bad but it would of been the best thing ever if it had a netflix style meaning each month they put new games to play while removing some games for the 10 dollar 4K 60 frames plan. The reason I say that because 1080p 60 frames plan is free so with that model it’s cheaper than every other systems, another reason it is cheaper because they do not charge you to play online like Xbox live or ps plus so you can play online for free. Look at it like this since you do not have to buy any system that’s money you save, all you have to do is just buy the games. Now if google can make 4K 60 frames option free and let us buy our own games then Sony and Xbox have no chance unless you have loyalty to those systems. A free 4K 60 frames model will save so much money because no monthly payments and all you have to do is buy the controller or use your own since it can use switch ps4 and Xbox controllers after that you set, and all you do is buy games nothing else.
if I did not have a 4K tv and I had 1080p tv the stadia is cheaper router right now, i would join right now
Ps4 when it came out cost 400 and ps plus 60 for a year, you do 7 years of ps plus with ps4 and it equal $820 I think I say 7 years because don’t keep their systems for 7 years before they upgrade so if you kept that system for 7 years and got ps plus every year you would of paid $820 and this is without buying any games for the system
Now With stadia 1080p 60 frames you do not pay any monthly fee or pay to play online so you save over 800 dollars and that money you save can now go towards getting more games or accessories or whatever you want
Ps4 and Xbox one cost 200 now so say you buy one now and you buy 3 years of Xbox live and ps plus before you upgrade to ps5 and Xbox two you still save 480 dollars since you need to pay to play online for those 3 years and pay for the system (ps4, Xbox one)
now if you got stadia 1080p 60 frames plan instead that 480 dollars can go towards more games for your Stadia
4K 60 frames plan need to become free so I can jump in
I like the idea. Seamless game-play and experiences. Yes, it's not a new concept but with the big boys at play here it is a whole different ball game. They're offering a 4K 60 video feed out the gate and all you need is 35Mb. Let's put an extra 10Mb on top in a real world scenario. It's still not bad for requirements.
After reading about the details, I'm still not tempted. To be honest, I'm not sure there was any way I could have been tempted.
I just don't see myself ever playing games through a stream, it seems like such a downgrade on what I already have.
For me, I am going to try this because I feel it's a good device to have when I go on a business trip or travel somewhere because I can play on my laptop or iPad and all I need is the controller. $10 a month for a service is completely reasonable for me, if it sucks though I'll cancel and get rid of the thing, but I don't feel this is a bad device.
The majority of the U.S much less The World as a whole still doesn’t have the type of internet this thing requires for 1080 much less 4K streaming. Sorry Google.
