CG trailers need to be cut back significantly, especially for reveals. Revealing your game with a neat CG makes me forget it in an hour, I don't remember almost any of the games with CG trailers that got unveiled cause there's nothing to remember about them. Show me what the game is.
Anything that isn’t introduced by Geoff or a host is a paid spot/ad. That’s the general rule of thumb, you don’t need to get through a decision-making process if you just pay enough. Level Infinite paid a lot for example.
Show was good, got me interested in a bunch of games I’d probably never really be exposed to. Only truly unnecessary thing was the awards. This breakdown of the show is a little too “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin” for me.
They missed the one interesting thing with the edge controller. The analog modules are fully removable. So I guess they’ll sell replacements . Wished they’d just put higher quality ones in to begin with to tackle things like drift, but at least you can replace only part of it.
This show was fine there were a lot of good games shown the people asking for non stop mega ton announcements at every event are just unrealistic. Dead Island 2 has been a long awaited game it was fine as a closer.
My three big critiques are more gameplay or pre-alpha footage, clearer ad break deliniation,, and better narrative leading. If they are showing us something from sgf or game awards don't be afraid to remind us about that. Most project get forgotten from sgf and game awards if they are a smaller announcement, so don't be afraid to remind us.
Gamescom isn't a small event... Gamescom is the biggest gaming event in all of Europe. It IS Europe's E3. I've been to it a few times it is a gigantic event held in the Koln convention center with tons of people and developers in attendance. Sony used to have conferences at Gamescom remember that PT / Silent Hills was also revealed at Gamescom 2014. They have had their share of big reveals over there and the big studios are present at it. Opening Night Live is just a new way to open the entire event. But if you go you would see that it is a huge deal.
Yea ONL/Geoff didn’t bring anything new to GamesCom that wasn’t already there, GamesCom just wanted to use Geoff and his production team to expand their exposure. Can’t agree with Tim’s take on its relevance to industry news, I would say the news used to be even bigger than it is now with Geoff.
@@Alex_Logan22 I think they both benefit from eachother but it's cool that Geoff expanded to there. I just wish Sony hadn't stopped doing big conferences for GC. I can't remember if Xbox used to do anything for GC. But the times that I went there in 2017, 19 it was pretty overwhelming so much going and so many people the Koln center is gigantic.
With the list that Blessing read around the 29 minute mark, I think this was a low 4/5 showcase. There was quite a bit to get excited about. Show just needs to be tightened up a bit. And it's about expectations. Like Barrett said, ONL is not the stage to expect the huge drops and it's probably not fair to expect the show to deliver that.
I thought the show was really good. Solid. The pacing was good and the balance of ads and reveals were good. Didn't drag really . I checked the time for the first time and it was an hour forty-five in.
It makes absolutely no sense for anybody in the world to say, I'd rather see CGI trailers in gameplay. That makes absolutely no sense at all, I don't care how gameplay Bogs down the time of a show. If anything I don't want to see any CGI trailers, and if you're going to show CGI trainers, you better back it up with actual gameplay. On no level, do or will I ever understand someone saying they'd rather see a CGI trailer over gameplay. That's laughable LOL. You may want to take this video down, edit that part out, and then put it back up.
I think he meant raw unedited gameplay, which can take too long and hurt pacing if it isn’t a banger game. Edited gameplay trailers of course is fine, and really the standard. Or at least show in-engine assets if it’s just an early tease. I feel like only a big established IP like Mortal Kombat can get away with the CG debut trailers.
@@Alex_Logan22 well I hope that's what a man, but I'd rather see any type of gameplay regardless of what it is over CGI trailer any day. But that's just me.
I like how Mike always tries to take shots at the dualsense 😂 Bro, it’s over, society has spoken. Dualsense is better than the Xbox controller, Xbox controller is still good. No shame in being a No. 2 in this instance. 😂
It’s just a controller… your fanboy is showing… yeah it has some cool novelty features, which I turned off because long game sessions and that adaptive trigger caused major fatigue. I still have no idea why Sony thinks it’s a cool idea to put the shittiest speakers in these controllers too… to each their own, I’ll always go for my Xbox controller for pc gaming. Don’t even own an Xbox lol
Video games have absolutely horrible this year there have been great games (HFW, Elden ring, sifu)but it feels like these “heavy hitters” have been one note video games.

I saw it afterwards and everytime a CG-only trailer showed up I skipped it.
I skipped a good chunk of the whole thing, that's for sure.
I've heard Lies of P actually features Meta Cricket in his first ever video game debut 👏
Dead Island 2 blew my mind. I mourned that years ago. And now I'm hyped cause it's looking fantastic and has a reasonable date.
1:02 Tim with the “aaaaayyoooooooo”
This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 143 (Episode 395 overall)
getting close to 150!

Andy got drip
I actually thought it was super cool that they had someone speaking from the International Space Station (floating)
And lets not forgot those zero grav flips!
I missed it if they said it earlier in the week but are they gonna cover the future games show livestream

Am I the only one who always wants to say "Life of Pi" when talking about Lies of P? EDIT: Ah ok, Tim has the same problem lol.
Nope, I keep doing it too haha.

One thing that could be cool is doing a segment where you just go through the rest of the year and remind us what is coming this year.
Lies of P almost looks too good to be true for an unknown dev but I want to believe.

The awards were unnecessary tho. They were so shoehorned in and oddly produced
I didn’t even though ONL was on.
I thought the show was really good. Solid. The pacing was good and the balance of ads and reveals were good. Didn't drag really . I checked the time for the first time and it was an hour forty-five in.
Ok Tim is so confusing because I can go back to a couple of videos where he's complaining about an event because there weren't any gameplay shown.
Was hoping it would end with elden ring dlc.
Question!
If we're playing "Lies of P" and we're controlling P who's the main character...Are we technically Pushin P?
Same problem as all of Keighleys shows. Waaaaaaaaay too long

zzzz again
It was a bad show for me. Dead Island 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Everywhere and Moonbreaker looked OK. Shame Moonbreaker is PC only

Take this time to get through your backlog.
I feel like it's been that way for a while. It's the indies that are really shining
You obviously don’t play indie games then, cause there’s been a lot of bangers
@@Gooseygoose14 I’ve beaten cult of the lamb, sifu and stray.
“Absolutely horrible” relax lol
