On the format of this year’s live show, Keighley has said: “WhereasThe Game Awardsis very much straight trailer, trailer, trailer, announcement, announcement, announcement, I think Summer Game Fest has a chance to talk to the developers and showcase games and give a little bit more context around games. We’re not giving out awards in the show. It really is just kind of a showcase of games.”
Keighley appeared on thelatest episode of VGC: A Video Game Podcastto discuss what goes into building Summer Game Fest.
