You can fault the PC gaming show for several things.
Showing too many indies is not one of those things.
Even if 599 of those don't interest me, that one game is worth it.
We have enough AAA(A) hypeshows.

What's with thte sudden "indie games aren't real games" rethoric?
Are we back in 2014?

State of Play - June 2022 - PC Summary
speaking of SoP ... i have been waiting for the Spidey storepages to do the PC-related State of Play summary
..... but fuck it :-D
Resident Evil 4 | CAPCOM
blog.playstation.com
The Callisto Protocol
streetfighter.com
One last thing was FINAL FANTASY XVI trailer above which dated it to Summer 2023 for PS5 with no info about its exlusivity state exlusivity state.
Original reveal trailer in 2020 PS5 showcase had it as "Playstation console exclusive" also with "The following content is captured on PC emulating PS5" note , but the "console exlusive" part then dissapeared when trailer was uploaded on PS Channel , but still was on the same trailer in Square channel. Games industry Analyst "Piers Harding-Rolls" claimed when it was initially revealed that the game is
is a full exclusive for 6 months and a console exclusive for 12 months. This time with the new trailer on square channel doesnt even mention platforms at all and website now only mentions PS5 .
So who knows it will probably be in standard random square fashion ,
so leaving it in my summary anyway :-D
sooooooooooooooooooo overall pretty solid State of play for a PC gamer

Where I come from we have a saying that roughly translates to "it's like asking the innkeeper if their wine is good"
I have zero hype for pc gamer show. Hope I’m wrong though!
Personally, I'm certainly not saying that, and I'll always wave the flag that (by and large) indies > AAA any day of the week.
However, the indie market is so so so extremely saturated now it is unreal, and simply showing up to the party isn't enough anymore like it was back in the early and mid 2010s. That's my problem with the PC Gaming Show, whenever it's showing a non big release the reveals are mostly 30-60 second clips, and that's just not enough anymore imo, particularly when it's done by the dozen.
If the show was shorter it'd help, or if it was paced differently then doing more deep dives could be warranted.
At least with the big platform holders whenever they do show indies there tends not to be lots of them so they stand out more.
I gave this a Like 'cause I thought it was sarcasm, lol.
Brilliant diamond has arcanine so here I go I guess…
Ok that's great, I assumed it was going to be like the old E3 timeline. Much better now.
Sony is only one that hates EU during E3 XD
The thing about Indies is, that the relevance, fun, gameplay-loop, hype, million-seller-potential isn't really tangible through trailers.
Among Us
V rising
Terraria
Minecraft
Valheim
Vampire survivors
Eco
Rimworld
etc.
Their success can't and couldn't be measured by trailers or hype. And if you show them side-by-side with visually equal games or even gameplay equal games (in a trailer) you can't pinpoint the million seller from the 50 seller.
It is not that Indies have no place at a "serious" game show, it is that you can't measure success until the game is out. And the console makers grab the diamonds a year or three after the release and show them at their show.
The same is true for AAA games, only that marketing and blind loyalty grants a baseline of sales and enough fanatics to give the illusion of relevance for even mediocre, bad, and forgettable AAA games.
If the pope is saying that it must be light on the ground then
I think the biggest surprises will in the console shows. I’m hoping for some big « on game pass right now » type of surprise
So Silksong release date? Yes?
Unfortunately Growlithe only becomes available after unlocking the national pokédex, and to unlock the national pokédex you need to see the 150 pokémon from the Sinnoh pokédex...
Best Japanese games announcements are always in Nintendo show. Xbox should have a meaty show as well but their first party games are much more far away from release.
I will do my usual with all these E3 type shows. Either watch the show the next morning and fast forward till I get to the next trailer. Or check out the announcements here and then watch the individual trailers on youtube.
Btw, anyone want to do this again? I may write up a thread in the next few days. Or if you are feeling impatient, feel free to open one.

Can't wait to see the NFTs they'll be selling for the anniversary.
The Nexomon games are very good. I've only played the first one which I liked quite a bit, and Extinction is supposedly a lot better.
Metroidvania mons
Digimon
(with Survive coming end of next month)
More mon games that I haven't played yet
So, funny story.... I thought yesterday was the Microsoft Showcase. Very disappointing Sunday afternoon. 
Nexomon was ok, but I hated the self-aware meme robot enough to not wanting to touch the IP ever again.
I really dislike metroidvanias (i ignored them and 2d platformers on steam).
I’m not sure about Coromon and Monster Crown, they seem like not!Pokemon (especially from the little i played of Coromon) and at that point I’d rather play pokemon plus as much as I try I can’t stand 2D pixel stuff, only game I can tolerate is Octopath
Digimon is great but I already played it, there are also
World of FF and Monster Hunter Stories 2 that are really good monster collecting games, but I played those too
on that note Temtem seems to be up my alley, but it’s a multiplayer game only…
Community - MetaRunning Club - Gotta go fast
One day I'll add graphics to my threads I swear. Hello everyone! Recently I've picked up walking and running as a hobby so I can remain active and not let my muscles rot, and I thought it would be nice if we had a space to share our runs, walks, or whatever cardio activity you do. You can...
metacouncil.com
Temtem, despite being multiplayer, the story can be done solo, battles are still 2 vs 2, but you use 2 of your own Temtems at once like Pokémon double battles (though you'll see other players running around), only some end game activities are truly multiplayer. The game is still in early access until September, but the story is fully available in its current version.
Other than Temtem, while I haven't played it and don't know much about it, Bugsnax seems to be some sort of monster catching game? Though, the catching monsters theme is the only similarity to Pokémon.
There's also Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX, I guess, but it's also a different type of monster game, it seems to be more about training monsters than catching them.
Removed the tweet because Keighly triggers me - the slimy twat.
Anyhow, the stupid will be guaranteed to be there dring the show claiming "he only said that because he wants us off guard for all the AWESOME" while shitting on all the non-AAAA games.

I wonder if the 40k RPG from Owlcat means no Starfinder. Plz no, I need my space opera CRPG :S

Seems so. Fuck that shit.

If the biggest thing Keighley has at his show is Silksong trailer and release date...then I say that is still pretty good. Its a highly anticipated release so everything else on the show is gravy.
But yea there are a lot of announced games in the industry today that have yet to have deep dives. Its one of those years where updates for announced games will shine more than brand new premieres. Xbox in particular has a lot of shit announced and they need to start showing footage for everything + release dates. Even Sony, Ubisoft, WB, EA all need to push updates on their announced games. I think 2K might be the only big publisher out there that can reveal some surprises.

A Silksong release date would be far more than I expected, honestly. And more meaningful for me personally than any number of AAA announcements.
