Come on guys and gals and everyone in between, where the hell is the hype train?!
Even last year (which I thought was a bit crap overall) had a respectable level of hype. Maybe we're all just exhausted from COVID life and we've all become miserable bastards (I know I have) but....... surely there has to be something to get excited about?
I set up a poll so you can predict how satisfied you'll be and then maybe we can all come back to this thread in a month or so and see whether you were correct.
For me I'm going to say 5/10.
I think the Playstation event (whenever it is) will be decent (maybe a borderline 7/10) but I think it will be overshadowed by a shit showing from Xbox (3/10) and I expect the Summer Game Fest to (as last time) be a massive bunch of fluff, waffle (and doritos) and Geoff Keighley jerking himself off and include maybe one or two genuinely exciting game announcements. I suppose it depends on taste/preference, I'm not interested in Elden Ring at all so last year's SGF was a write off in my books.
Feel free to give an overall rating and then individual conference/event ratings. I haven't kept up with which companies are actually doing something so I'm keeping mine simple:
Overall:
5/10
Playstation - 7/10
Xbox - 3/10
Nintendo - 6/10
Summer Game Fest - 4/10
Note that I'm not giving equal weighting so that's not an average of the four scores.
