Yall are gonna regret doubting Keighly. He got Elden ring after all.

He also premiered sekiro, and the series x/Hellblade 2



He delivers, but he's definitely a Sony Stan. He always wants to kill E3 strictly for his benefit.


So if he's hype I expect some great playstation news

From the TGA Podcast transcribed from someone on era

  • "This year's lineup is going to be… pretty good, I think we get a lot of the… 2023 and beyond games that will be announced and next year is going to be pretty big for games, so I think we got some big stuff"
  • "This year was lighter for releases because of the pandemic, but I think next year will be very busy, and that will be reflected in the show as we have a lot of announcements for next year and beyond"
  • "We will have good updates on some existing (as in already announced) games that are known but people wanna see more gameplay or content"

  • "More than half the show will be brand new game announcements"
  • A headline that will come out of the show is how before we just scratched the surface of next gen games, but now there will be the conversation of how much could be done with this generation with some of the games that are shown, points out that he knows for sure at least 2 next generation games that he saw will really trigger that conversation
    Some of those trailers will be early in the show and some late

  • The first couple of trailers are "surprises that will make people excited"
  • Some of the games in this year's show were supposed to be revealed as far back as last TGA
  • Going to have announcements for some games that are 3 or 4 years out for hiring

  • Geoff also notes that there will still be games that he knows for sure some people will say "wait why wasn't this game there"
  • However despite possibly having people surprised at the lack of certain games, he also notes from his experience as a show producer that "As long as you have 2 or 3 really good things the internet forgives you"
  • The production team is asking developers about almost any game people ask them to show, even if the developer is unlikely to be making it at all for the off chance that they do
  • Geoff is usually very involved with most of the trailers he gets, often around a year out, and this helps them set up the show properly

  • On the topic of CGI trailers, Geoff says he is surprised at how many are still relying on CG trailers that are not representative of the final game, and notes that there should be around the same amount this year as previously.
  • At the same time he says that he also says that "when you look at some of the stuff like Forza or some of the stuff that PlayStation is doing that is as good or better than CG trailers"
  • He repeated multiple times that the team is constatnly working to find the balance between gameplay, trailer and CGI footage for the show.

  • Thanks to the live format they can be theatrical again, and they will use the live orchestra as part of some of the trailers.
  • Last point that stood out to me, and this goes back to the CGI/not real time footage concerns, is that Geoff specifically disucssed Hellblade 2's reveal, and how people did not believe the footage would be representative, is it CGI or real time rendered and so on, and says how the next time it will be shown there are bound to be the comparisons of how does the new footage stacks up to the original one, is it improved or downgraded and so on.
    The way he went on about that part of the conversation makes me believe that Hellblade 2 will have a trailer or even possibly gameplay at the show, but I am mostly speculating on that point.
