Summer Game Fest kicked off on Friday Night, and delivered us over 55 trailers to feast our eyes upon. If we were to sit down and try to write something about each of them we’d be here all week, so instead Dave and I quick fired for each one. If you want to watch the whole show and see our reactions head over to YT where we cover SGF and Day of the Devs otherwise each of the trailers is below with our quick takes on each.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJd90PUcH5s
Dave: Stand out of the show.
Kerri: Dave reviewed Mortal Shell in 2020 and seeing a meatier looking sequel has me interested.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLmbmWapKPY
Dave: Neat.
Kerri: Fortnite is always fun and Star Wars is iconic, flying and shooting lasers, yeah that’s cool.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLulRtD9PZ8
Dave: I’ll be more excited when it comes to PC.
Kerri: Every time I see anything about Death Stranding it reminds me that I really do need to finish the first game, the characters here look interesting and the story is intriguing.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9ZtJWZF7NY
Dave: Tom Hardy needs to stop taking other projects so he can film season 2 of Taboo.
Kerri: I need to see some detailed gameplay to fully form my opinion.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIS6rIf2HVU
Dave: I don’t understand why a fast hedgehog needs a car, can’t Sonic run faster then a car? I need someone to explain to me why he doesn’t foot propel the car like he’s in the Flintstones.
Kerri: They put Miku in a Sonic racing game! Also it has Shadow, so I’m happy.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRRhNJ_25U4
Dave: Code Vein 1 was awesome, I’m happy to see more anime souls in my life.
Kerri: Anime Souls? Yeah I’d play this.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hV2Cu-grqU
Dave: The trailer was a little bit standard for my liking, but the games vibes interest me. I’m looking forward to see more as we get closer to release.
Kerri: NOPE. It looks good but I am no good with horrors and this one looks like it’d have me squirming.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN8quS6pNQ0
Dave: I’m really looking forward to the game, but at this point it seems we’ve seen so many trailers we’ve seen the whole game. I want to stop watching videos and start playing this game.
Kerri: The team has put a lot of work into this game and I look forward to it finally releasing.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jakMTEhNVU8
Dave: Finally a good looking Game of Thrones game.
Kerri: A GoT game that’s not on mobile? I feel it’s missed the GoT hype window but if it’s a good game then that can be overcome. Jon Snow being friends with the Night King though? That’s a no-mance not a bro-mance.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fquBSxalY1Y
Dave: Space Whale!
Kerri: The gameplay looks fun, I’m sure fans of AH1 are hyped for this.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHHJM-KZfss
Dave: I’m a sucker for an MMO, this looks like it will steal a month of two from me.
Kerri: I am interested to give this a go, also I like the white angel wings outfit.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eOzJ75eXjU
Dave: Any time we get another comic book game I’m happy.
Kerri: YEAH She-Hulk! I will play this co-op for sure.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4ee6REzoGA
Dave: Capcom are going to continue their dominating streak. 2026 is their year. Onimusha, RE9, and hopefully Monster Hunter Expansion… Bring it on
Kerri: Sold.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By9drzLjigc
Dave: Game of the show. PUPPETS. It’s Mike Tyson’s Puppet Punchout! Wait I already said Mortal Shell 2? I don’t care, Fight me!
Kerri: This being made with puppets is so hilarious. I already love it.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDoF1yyQxM0
Dave: Games like Killer Inn remind me that I don’t have enough friends to fully enjoy games like Killer Inn
Kerri: I like the idea, I want to see how they keep the players on task and not just murder spree-ing.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfufcWOh2LE
Dave: I do however have enough friends to enjoy ARC Raiders!
Kerri: I will be playing this with Dave and I will enjoy it.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztdVjiRpYfo
Dave: You’re making me type words instead of playing this right now.
Kerri: Game is Fun, Worm is Scary, Desert is hot. Can I go play it now?
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm3k7r4D5ZI
Dave: I’ve never seen a more Dave-coded game. Bosses, co-op. I’m in, give me that sweet 7.
Kerri: I love the art style, I hope this is as good as it looks.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He12pJk2s-M
Dave: This game always makes me think Wuthering Heights. There would be a great game… Gatcha Victorian Era? Does your lootbox contain a new hat or TB.
Kerri: The world looks interesting and the outfits are cute.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoJyLQZT7F4
Dave: If anything happens to my tiny robot I’ll burn it all down.
Kerri: Looks gorgeous, I will be trying the demo.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdOLvr2MQjI
Dave: I live for weird games. Out of Words looks fantastic. Weird, interesting. Harold Halibut vibes. Give me more games like this.
Kerri: I love stop motion, maybe it was growing up with Wallace and Gromit, but the time and effort spent to create something so unique and special really hits me in the feels. Of course I will play this.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgXBQdusXxc
Dave: One of my favourite franchises. Mafia 2 remains the king, Old country so far looks like everything I want from a Mafia game.
Kerri: This is not my type of game, but seeing the look on Dave’s face when this was shown. If you like Mafia then you will be counting down the days.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYggKzKdg08
Dave: It’s a travesty that it’s taken this long to get LEGO games like Voyagers. This is what Lego Games should look like.
Kerri: I want this game yesterday, IT LOOKS SO FUN.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDsGI19Owe8
Dave: Aaahh!!! Real Monsters or we riot.
Kerri: *Sings the Doug Theme*
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkCOWLrh26s
Dave: You’re already playing this, you don’t need my words on it. Hydrate and get back in there champ.
Kerri: I need to play Lies of P. Then it’ll be Elden Ring and Lies of P I’ve finished and Dave hasn’t.
Dave: Hey!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnUhcaG_6gI
Dave: Stardew Hill. Silent Valley. Veins. Into. Now. Please.
Kerri: Cozy not scary! Cozy! NOT SCARY!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2212dxe4aU
Dave: When Blade and Soul came out, I spent $90 on a cowboy outfit I wore for about 4 hours. That’s it, that’s all I got.
Kerri: I want to see the cowboy outfit.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ58InDK4Wk
Dave: I’m going to end up buying a chibi cowboy outfit aren’t I?
Kerri: If its good, why not make it Chibi
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEblCtNe3e4
Dave: I can’t fit more Genshin games in to my life.
Kerri: One Punch Man only needs one punch right? So any fight would be over if you can land one blow? How does that work in this game?! I must know!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHOoO5TRWn0
Dave: All this does is make me realise I still need to watch the anime.
Kerri: If I knew the anime I would be hype. I don’t so I’m just intrigued as I do like a good story in a beautiful world.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cmEUXCTn8Q
Dave: Dinosaurs! Parks! One step closer to the Planet Coaster cross over where I get to build rollercoasters for dinosaurs.
Kerri: I like Zoo Tycoon, Dave likes Dinosaurs. Lets have a Zoo filled with dinosaurs, what could go wrong. DA DA DA DA DAAAAAA
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KT4R9pu1Ew
Dave: The art style looks brilliant. I didn’t need to know how long it’s been since Shovel Knight though.
Kerri: I am personally not a fan of the art style. I know many are and I’m happy they have a fun looking game to play as the main character looks cute and the monsters look sufficiently mean.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHxCPwY7YBY
Dave: So conflicted. Marvel game yay! VR Game, Hmmm. I hope it’s good, while I can’t play it I want those who can to enjoy it. Deadpool in VR could really work.
Kerri: A Deadpool VR game makes perfect sense to me.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0GCr2P9510
Dave: Catching up with Kyle from the first game is an interesting approach. Personally I just want to see what weird weapons I can make this time around.
Kerri: I do not like Zombies Sam I am, I do not like them AT ALL.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcXNOiAi79o
Dave: You had me at The Cure.
Kerri: Yes please, I want this now.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR6xftZJOYI
Dave: I am looking forward to the game, I’m not looking forward to saying that title multiple times in one video.
Kerri: Love the art syle, the gameplay looks interesting, I want to know more.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0V7iyrGCTE
Dave: Sifu, Old Boy vibes. I’m in, 110%. Kick, Punch, it’s all in the mind.
Kerri: The combat looks satisfying and who doesn’t like a revenge story. I am awed that it is made by a solo game developer.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY3RgEkSfNk
Dave: If we hadn’t of seen a game about puppet fighting, this would have been the most surprising thing I wasn’t expecting.
Kerri: I will play this.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3tvldIsOA
Dave: This trailer knew exactly who it’s audience was.
Kerri: I like a cinematic emo trailer, I’m sure some people really liked it.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOrU-XUV4lw
Dave: I don’t play Scum, but I think any game that survives Early Access, and hits 1.0 should be celebrated.
Kerri: Yay you got out of early access, congrats!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAcor9SdBTs
Dave: It feels weird this game is so close to coming out, just snuck right up on me.
Kerri: The trailer makes me want to know more, I will keep an eye on it, wait its out next week?!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjaQ-HRumuk
Dave: No notes, perfect title, perfect fit. Give us Lego Kart and Lego Golf next.
Kerri: TAKE MY MONEY.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjhpegTcNIo
Dave: I made a video about this one!
Kerri: He did it’s here!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGU-7zvoNfU
Dave: Love the art style, and a co-op game always gets me interested
Kerri: That art style!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlxq9Wxh-g8
Dave: This game looks SICK… I’m going to be PLAGUED with thoughts about this trailer.
Kerri: Nightmare Fuel
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2MJY08p_ZE
Dave: Chicks dig giant robots. We dig giant robots.
Kerri: The music slapped on the trailer, will play just for that.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ3MpzLSSwI
Dave: I never expected Grounded to become a genre, but here we are. I’m all for it.
Kerri: They made Grounded less wholesome and more Sci-Fi.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooMm_xsRRyw
Dave: KENNY BY GOD OMEGA.
Kerri: Please watch the trailer, its top tier.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4YiTj82Hb8
Dave: I played enough Warsong Gulch in the day to know you can never trust someone carrying a flag to actually capture the flag.
Kerri: Funky Fresh Flag Capturing, I’m gonna suck at this game.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK3eUCmM54s
Dave: We’ve seen and played snippets of this already, I’m looking forward to seeing if the whole game holds up as well as those slices did.
Kerri: I played this one!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjFHrE7Ls4Q
Dave: Wu Tang is for the children!
Kerri: Wu-Tang forever
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YO14ompvzQ
Dave: More Genshin games trying to fit in my life.
Kerri: I will put it on the stack, I do like to collect them all.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSbCTTzBP64
Dave: What in the fever dream fudge did I just watch. I want it now.
Kerri: It reminds me of Cuphead and Billie Bust Up, I’m sure I will be terrible and have fun doing so
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hqhyCGp2uU
Dave: Splitgate 2 has way too high a ceiling for my aging bones. I’m going to enjoy it, but seeing what sick shit the pros pull off is going to be incredible. This game has tiktok trick shot written all over it.
Kerri: This is one for the FPS Players
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHUs5_vSYHY
Dave: This trailer gives us such a small taste of what’s going on here. For a game originally called Project Century, you know they’re up to something.
Kerri: The atmosphere shown in the trailer is strong, let it cook and I think we are in for something special here.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POz1-EmLsTY
Dave: The shot of the crater in Racoon City was incredible. I said it before and I’ll say it again, Capcom are crushing next year.
Kerri: They teased, they showed, and it has a release date. The next RE is coming. Good luck Grace, you’re gonna need it.
