Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?

Literally the best SGF ever

Easily the best Geoff summer event ever.
FF7 REVELATION!!

I expected nothing and I was still disappointed. Since I'm not into FF7, that was nothing for me, but happy to hear TWAU 2 is finally coming and they're remastering the first one.

I voted very good because you can always improve, but I enjoyed the whole two hours, was the best show this year so far. Way too many games that caught my interest.

That was one of the best gaming shows I've seen, so many games I want to play

Resident Evil Veronica
Cuphead
Alien Isolation 2
Virtua Fighter
Tifa in Street Fighter 6
Stellar Blade
Many more I can't remember the names of right now, 1666 Amsterdam
Then Final Fantasy VII Revelation to close

Very good! VF Crossroads, FF7 Revelation and Stellar Blade Blood rain were the highlights for me.
I am al so very happy about Sonic Racing Crossworlds getting a second year of updates!

That was amazing, dude! So many cool reveals.

This was a 10/10. It will be hard to beat in years to come.

FF7 Revelations
Gundam Rogue Orbit
MH Wilds Expansion
Resident Evil Veronica
Tifa in SF6

This has been an amazing SGF show

E3 Vibes it had alot of great games, some cringe moments, some wtf moments and Tupac.

This FFVII is a revelation to me lets see it?!

It was fantastic. A lot of awesome announcements.

Excellent! Pod racer, Veronica, clutch wau2 and part 3 it’s happening ❤️

Literally the best show he’s done. Ads were minimal and well placed and the pacing was excellent

2027 is easily going to be one of the best years for gaming

FF7, Stellar Blade 2, MH Expansion. We won y’all!!

It was a good show. The Stellar Blade Boodrain reveal was my fave of the show.

Now roll on Sunday for Persona and Fable!

It was good. I have near 10 games that I want to play on Day 1. My favourite duo is RECV and Stellar Blade.

FF7-3 didn't do anything for me and after the first 40 minutes it was mediocre overall but still I had fun.

Last year was better I think but I am definetely more satisfied with this compared to SoP.

@ChikaBambus

There was a period of time nothing in the future was exciting to me in terms of movies, series, games etc. I was in a depressive place probably. But I am glad those days are way in the past and I too look forward to 2027 too and we still have great games from first half of the year and Septembe&October!

Haters gonna hate. Geoff delivered. Excellent show!

It was great, Virtua Fighter, Wolf Among Us, Tupac - what's not to like?

very poor, that was church play painful

That was amazing. Between mhw's expansion, stellar blade 2, and ff7r 3. They fed me so well with this. I've always thought SGFs were worse than the game awards but this one cooked

Amsterdam looked very intriguing.

Superb felt like E3 all over again!

Stellar Blade, FF7, Clutch & that Amsterdam were highlights for me.

I voted for excellent (10/10), best SGF so far with quite a lot of reveals that I'm interested in such as FF7 part 3, new Stellar Blade, Monster Hunter Wilds DLC, Attack on Titan 3, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Alien Isolation 2, Gen Atlas and Wolf Among Us 2.

Much better than the SoP for me personally and with just Persona I'm interested in from the Xbox Showcase I'd say SGF will be the standout show this "non E3".

A bit dissapointed with SF 6 season 4 DLC and the laggy stream. But this still a very good show with VF Crossroads, RE CV remake, new Stellar Blade, Blood Message, TMNT Last Ronin, Alien Isolation 2, and FF VIIR-3.

Overall it was dope. My favorite was the game from the shadow of colossus dev. Only thing that disappointed me was the lack of crazy taxi and jet set radio. Hopefully we’ll see persona stuff at the Xbox event.

FF7 and Stellar Blade were pretty much the only announcements I cared about, but they were enough to to pole vault the show to a very good score. Nicely done.

It was 8/10. Obviously shows good games. But majority are 12-18months out.

It’s easier to show stuff that’s so far out.

unfortunately for most of the show the stream was out of sync and ruined it.

For me, personally, there wasn't great deal of games I know I will play day 1 (or at all) but it was clearly a very, very good show, the crowd loved it, and everything felt positive.

I would have liked maybe one more big mic-drop to end it for something i'm more interested in. But I know the things i'm most interested in have already been announced via their own streams, or are games that are still a long way off. Maybe Xbox can sneak a few cool third-party updates or world premiers in on Sunday.

Very strong showing. Project Robot aka Gen Atlas alone made the show for me but there's a lot to look forward to. Stellar Blade sequel looks sick as hell.

Showed Sony in a bad light not having final fantasy and stellar blade in their state of play. For my tastes this hit harder then state of play as catered more to my tastes embraced the Japanese games more then Sony did.

I gave it a 8, only a few games for me. So many games in the middle looked the same. Dark Gothic style titles or horror. Watched with my son and was hoping for some family friendly games for him. Loved that they spent so long with FFVII

Who on earth is voting this very poor and poor. Do you just hate gaming 😂 that's one of the best shows I've ever seen.

@bindiana square-enix chose to have this show for the release of final fantasy part 3 and stellar blade is independent nothing sony could do.

Monster Hunter makes this an instant 10/10, especially with Hunter arts in a numbered title.

S***'s gonna be lit.

I thought it started with a really strong fist half hour or so. The rest wasn't as good, but that's understandable. The final reveal didn't do it for me but a good show nonetheless.

I thought it was excellent and easily the best one they have ever done. Loads of great reveals and stuff shown.

@PuppetMaster Glad the lag wasn't just me.

That was actually excellent! Aside from the rotted Among Us bit, the whole show flowed so well, minimum yapping and padding. just game after game after game, and speaking of..

Actually went with about 90% of them on my wishlist! Alien Isolation 2, RE Veronica, Gen ATLAS, The Saw Game, FF were my highlights, but what a show!

Absolute cinema. Code Veronica kicks it off, FF7 Revelation finishes it. Everything else is a bonus. Geoff brought the megatons

Resident Evil Veronica made this the best Summer Game fest show for a while for me! Can’t wait for 2027!!

Veronica stole the show for me

Yeah that was the best SGF. So many games I want to get. Had to mute that Among Us skit though haha

@Scottyy Its always like that, periods of drought/uninterest. I was in the same boat as you not so long ago, but so many fantastic titles are coming out, that I am genuinely excited for what's to come, and I'm sure we will enjoy the next couple of years of games!

Quite meh, actually. There were so many horrors... The most interesting (in order of appearance):

Blood Message
Haex (PC only :/)
End of Abyss
The Blood of Dawnwalker
Chronicles Medieval (PC only :/)
Stelar Blade: Blood Rain

The Blood of Dawnwalker definitely stands out with a new trailer and the plot reveal that story leads to present day. If I understood the dev correctly, he was hinting a sequel in the present day(?).

Also, can we celebrate the end of the Gaas era? Aside from ongoing established ones, i didn't see much of them.
Seems like the fad finally died down after all the duds.

Though now we are in the survival horror era. So many of them!

It was okay for me. Strong start and dipped more than it peaked for me personally. Still some games im looking forward to in there.

Started strong, but in true Keighly fashion sputtered out towards the final half. Glad FF7 is wrapping up so we can hopefully stop hearing about it.

It's was between good and very good for me. Some decent games in there but I think it could still be trimmed down by 30m. FF7 was a good game to end on but the pacing for that section was poor. Ending on 10m of talking took away from the trailer rather than being a big moment.

I was just playing cuphead yesterday. 2 cuphead games is N.i.c.e. resident evil Veronica.stranger than heaven.the last Robin etc looks really good. Word up son

Poor almost very poor, only slightly better than the SoP.

Can't wait for re Veronica

Whipped the pants off of SoP, that's for sure.

Based on what I have caught up on after the fact, pretty poor.

But I am also well aware that I have very specific expectations for literally every game related showcase and I go into the coverage of each one with literally no expectations that I will get the announcements that I want.

And for the past 6 years or so, most of these big ones have failed me big time and they continue to fail me but that's ok with me.

I liked the State of Play or whatever though, for literally two reasons only.

@AdamNovice did it continue jumping and skipping backwards and forwards, leaving everything out of sync?

I gave up and watched thw ign feed in the end and worked fine.

Very good. The excellent stuff was excellent. Lotta 50/50 stuff shown off. Moderate amount of slop. Went as well as thought.

I was completely satisfied with the RE Veronica reveal. I hope that it is similar in scale to RE4 Remake.

Stellar Blade got me perked up. It looks fantastic.

There was another one, I think End of Abyss maybe, it looked like Cronos: The New Dawn in the style of Signalis.

The Last Ronin being a Platinum Games title has me hyped too.

There might be another one or two, but these were the highlights for me. My son was disappointed not to see any Persona, but I think we still have an XBox event where that could make an appearance.

Sorry, nothing compared to the Sony SoP.

The only game I am really excited about is RE (Code) Veronica - from the SoP there were a lot of games I added to my Wishlist the next day.

@Lup there were barely any games i would be interested in, but I appreciated the show in general with the amount of trailers and relative lack of fluff. Even I rated it as good. How was it honestly poor? Could you not find anything creatively or otherwise that at least made you stop and watch?

If you like games that look like Unreal Engine action games, then you probably lost your mind during this show.

@AdamNovice eesh. Sorry dude. Must have been traffic or something, as I say ign was fine. Maybe because not much traffic 🤪

Putting this on and getting murdered in Sektori tonight, and I really can't wait.
...also get Sektori. Dear lord that game.

Very good show. A bit too much horror stuff for my taste. I liked the TMNT Ronin game, Star Wars Racer and Wolf 2. Didn't like Aiden too much from Control, but loved the game, so I could be convinced the more I see of it. FF7 Revelation was the absolute icing for me, with a TON of footage and Dress spheres! Sort of. Fun show, enjoyed the watch and chat!

why is everyone saying it was good. SoP was definitely better. Veronica, Stellar Blade 2 and that Project Robot game was about all there was. Alien Isolation 2 I guess. It was just a heap of generic stuff again - other than the Project Robot game (Gen Atlas).

@MFTWrecks definitely didn't. first 15 minutes were good and then it fell off a cliff. other than Stellar Blade 2 and I guess if you like FF which i don't. but you know horses for courses but i added more games during SoP to my wishlist and there were 1/3rd the number of games revealed

I’d say is a pretty good SGF

SEGA content including Stranger than Heaven (I’m a massive SEGA fan XD) W

Stellar Blade 2 (still gotta play the first one) W

Gundam rogue orbit. W

I wasn't into everything, but apart from the audio issues, it was snappy and interesting, pretty much all the way through, also a huge FFVII fan so that was a plus.

Disappointed just like the state of play. Way too many generic Asian games doing the rounds at the moment.

@somnambulance yeah, will just have to wait for the (hopefully) nintendo direct. I'm also hoping xbox may have a Spyro 4

It's weird but not much really wowed me outside of Uedas next game and Cuphead. Ive never really cared for Sega or Capcom games so that's 60% of the major announcements falling flat. FF7 Rebirth was so disappointing that FF7 Revelations sounds like a threat.

Stellar Blade needs to improve the story to be interesting in my eyes and this trailer doesn't show that.
