[Let’s Talk] Summer Game Fest 2024 reactions

The season of what would have been E3 isn’t fully over, but a good number of events are in the books. Summer Game Fest, one of the bigger shows happening this week, was held yesterday. Other things like Devolver Direct, Days of the Devs, and Wholesome Direct have taken place as well.

If we’re looking strictly at yesterday’s Summer Game Fest showcase, we did see a few Switch announcements – namely LEGO Horizon Adventures, Civilization VII, Harry Potter: Quiddich Champions, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, and Fear the Spotlight. Sonic x Shadow Generations also got a release date and new trailer.

What did you think of Summer Game Fest, and how are you feeling about the non-E3 season as a whole? Let us know in the comments.

Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – June 2024

I’m primarily playing 1000xResist, which (so far) is utterly brilliant, and Ever Oasis, which may be the cutest Zelda-like ever made. It deserves to be remade for Switch, if only to be more readily playable in the future.

Got a surprisingly good deal on a copy of dragon quest 8 for the 3ds so I’m in the back half of that+ Forza horizon 3

Paper Mario:TTYD. It’s a good game but so far it’s not better than Super Paper Mario or TOK. But it is better than Mario RPG and maybe equal to Paper Mario 64.
