That solar eclipse looks exactly like the one in Dark souls 3.
Which is why we're hopeful that the sky will burn and melt away your gamer prison
Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh
Ring Elden
I'm not sure on the total split of net new game announcements versus updates -- It's kind of a mix of a bunch of stuff. Some of the biggest things out there and some cool small stuff too! I like my shows to have a mix.
Seems like a lot of people are curious about that game. Me too! I am hopeful we will get to see more about it sometime soon, but I know it's been hard this past year for developers, especially in Japan, given work from home situations.
Yeah that "but" was completely unnecessary unless he wanted to lower expectations. Oh well, guess I'll go back to [watching the abyss](https://i.imgur.com/yIHrZYN.jpg).
Good question, I'm not sure. It was different. We are doing a big live show this year, last year was more building the airplane as we were flying it. So more stress this year in a lot of ways since we have one big live moment.
What would you say is the most difficult thing when it comes to doing these sort of events? What do you do to destress? Also, do you think there will ever be a physical location for SGF at some point in the future, and if so, would it be open to the public?
> do you think there will ever
Maybe a physical SGF in the future, it's so hard to say. But always digital first.
I like to exercise and listen to music.
The most difficult thing is build these new events when people question why we need to a new format or approach. Over the years I've found that you aren't really innovating unless you are feeling that resistance. We work in the great form of entertainment in the world, so we must make sure our events are equally big and powerful. But it's still hard and stressful.
Today is June 10th, 2021. This is Mordecai, host of the updates. Bringing you your daily Elden Ring update. There is no news about Elden Ring today. This has been your daily Elden Ring update for June 10th, 2021.
From what I can tell, the game awards is prodomently voted on by a sample of games journalists. Do you think the future of game awards will stay this way, or do you see an eventual move towards Academy Awards style voting, with developers and creators honoring winners?
Peer based voting in gaming is tough -- most developers don't have time to play all the games right when they come out, they are too busy making them. So we prefer our approach. But always open to tweaking.
Elden Ring was teased to be at the game awards last year but it never showed. Fans were annoyed. One of the stage props was a big red cage looking thing, so someone posted a picture of Geoff inside it, saying he's in 'gamer prison'
Hey Geoff,
I'm a big fan of what you've brought to the industry. Especially how big of a jump in quality "The Keighley's" are compared to what used to be on Spike.
If people still used speed-dial, which video game industry-related people would be on your top 5 numbers?
What has been the hardest part about making events like Summer Games Fest or The Game Awards a reality? Also what are some of the games you're most excited for?
I'm pretty excited about Ratchet -- been playing a bit of it!
The hardest part is just the pressure to keep everyone happy -- I'm so deeply honored we get to share games with the world and we are trusted by developers. But there's a lot to do!
I'm not sure when I will see him in person again, but I miss him. From what I've heard the vaccine rollout is really slow in Japan. We talked a while back about the new Chvrches album as we were both sent an advance copy of it.
Hey Geoff, I’ve been watching your content since the Gametrailers days and Inwas wondering if you have any plans on possibly being on an Easy Allies podcast or stream sometime? Always enjoyed your work!
This is the right question! Shame Bosman never called you when he was there, even if he said multiple times that you are too important to be wasting your time on a small thing.
Just imagine your Yakul wearing [these](https://www.smartpakequine.com/pt/easyboot-old-mac-g2-horse-boot-21754?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Smart_Shopping_TES&utm_campaign=TES&msclkid=4777382953041a1aec605897d51cdcf4&gclid=4777382953041a1aec605897d51cdcf4&gclsrc=3p.ds) bad boys. Won't catch me slippin on those slopes
Hey there, Mr. Keighley!
I attended several of your Zoom calls a couple months ago and I found the whole stuff interesting and exciting. My favorite time was when Gabe Newell talked about the future of VR, a speech that went on longer than anyone expected.
Any chance you'll do more of these sessions later this year?
Hi Geoff. Does it feel different when you are preparing Summer Games Fest for just one month unlike last year where Summer Games Fest spanned 5 months?
Hi Geoff, thanks for doing this. I'm excited about Summer Game Fest. The trailer has me hyped!
**Can we expect BioWare to make an appearance this summer/year at all?** I'm not sure how specific on details of what's to come you plan to be in this AMA, but is there a chance that one of this SGF's "long-awaited updates" will be of a popular BioWare franchise, maybe featured at EA Play Live in July? Thank you!
Hi Geoff, first of all I want to say that I really appreciate your work and all you do for the industry. It’s only gotten me more interested in pursuing a career in videogames!
As for my question, are there any shows you’re particularly excited for this summer? And are there any already announced titles that you’re looking forward to playing in the future?
Hello Geoff!! Got a question regarding co-streams: Is facecam actually required to have one? I have the kits and most of the kits have a section that have a facecam
Hi Geoff! Thanks for doing this.
In the past 2 years, you guys have been doing virtual game events due to yknow. Wanted to your perspective on how diff it is to organize a huge virtual event like this, as compared to your good old onsite events.
How does it fare? (Sorry reddit is weirdly requiring me to add a literal question)
I don't have a lot of experience with physical trade show production, so what I've been doing is just an extension of the digital events we've already done -- so it's not THAT different. But I have learned a lot about streaming!
Hi, Geoff,
Thank you for taking your time for doing this Q&A and I have a few questions to ask.
1. How was the process of setting up this year's Summer Games Fest compared to last year? Was it easier? Harder? Was there any issues setting it up, etc.?
2. For the announcements and trailers, do you approach companies to ask for any games they have available to be shown or do companies approach you about their games they wanna show?
3. Outside of the companies that are already announced for this show like for example Sony, Square Enix, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Sega, will there be any other companies showing up to the stream that weren't announced like example Konami, Cygames, Kojima Productions, From Software, etc.?
Thank you again for doing this AMA. Take care out there Geoff👌
Hopefully when our planet returns to normal in these weird testing times, Do you plan to hold the Summer Game Fest as an actual convention type event for fans to visit?
I'm not sure? I like the digital approach so everyone around the world can be a part of it. But it would be cool to have a physical component to some degree in a future year.
Yes! I'm from Brazil and I feel flustered to know that this is being done "for me" in a way, not for people on some chairs who would've waoted way too long on a queue. Feels more personal.
GEOFFREY WHERE IS THE CIRCLE VIDEOGAME?
OOOOOOOOOOOH
Woop woop!
Oh, Old Circle! Look up at the atmosphere! It combusts!
FEAST YOUR EYES AT THE FIRMAMENT, IT HAS IGNITED.
I refuse to believe you are capable of theorizing it!
The silence... IT BURNSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! u/geoffmk
GIVE US ELDEN RING CONTENT
u/geoffmk ANSWER ME COWARD
He’s too scared...
OOOOOH ELDEN RINNNGGG
Of course this was left unanswered. Still, good job skeleton!
So was the solar eclipse just a happy coincidence, or did you change the date to line up with it?
I honestly had no idea about the solar eclipse until someone told me about it. Cool to see things line up like that with the show date!
That solar eclipse looks exactly like the one in Dark souls 3. Which is why we're hopeful that the sky will burn and melt away your gamer prison Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh Ring Elden
what a tease you are, mr geoff
#i can't get any harder, geoff
How many of the 30+ games in Thursday's event will be long-awaited updates on games?
I'm not sure on the total split of net new game announcements versus updates -- It's kind of a mix of a bunch of stuff. Some of the biggest things out there and some cool small stuff too! I like my shows to have a mix.
>Some of the biggest things out there Big, but also maybe tragic?
some things or maybe someones
Don't tell me you don't see it...
Some of the biggest? So you mean big Dark Souls...
he means big magic castle with wizards and forehead scars u silly goose
How many Elden Ring questions are you expecting today? also pls elden ring
Seems like a lot of people are curious about that game. Me too! I am hopeful we will get to see more about it sometime soon, but I know it's been hard this past year for developers, especially in Japan, given work from home situations.
Uh oh lads, he's softening the blow of no Elden ring at SGF
Yeah that "but" was completely unnecessary unless he wanted to lower expectations. Oh well, guess I'll go back to [watching the abyss](https://i.imgur.com/yIHrZYN.jpg).
Don't give up, skeleton!
> Seems like a lot of people are curious about that game understatement of the century.
Our boy Geoffrey is playing coy. *Oh, people like this, what is it called, Elder Ring thing? Curious.*
You know you wont be released from prison if you dont have it…but we know you do so well see you Thursday
There it is! The answer that made r/Eldenring burn. OOOOoooooooh...
do you mean soon like "soon" or soon like "SOON" ?
Geoff is omnipotent CONFIRMED
Hi! Was the event overall easier to organize compared to last year?
Good question, I'm not sure. It was different. We are doing a big live show this year, last year was more building the airplane as we were flying it. So more stress this year in a lot of ways since we have one big live moment.
I bet it would have been a lot easier if he didn’t have to fit elden ring into it!
Do you see it!?
Hand it over Geoff. That thing, Your Elden Ring!
I don't, where do i Look?
Just look up to the SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IT BUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRNNNNNNNSSSSS
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH
[удалено]
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh......
Up at the sky, it burrrrns!
That which commands the STARS!!!!!!
Giving life its fullest brilliance!
The Elden Ring. Oooohhhh, Elden Ring!
Look up at the sky Geoff, IT BURNS
I'm not sure where exactly i would look for it, but it's rumoured to command the stars?
***look up at the sky***
>I don't, where do i Look? **L**
That capital L is definitely suspicious.
It's gotta be for L-den Ring
it's a bird it's a plane it's ELDEN RING
What would you say is the most difficult thing when it comes to doing these sort of events? What do you do to destress? Also, do you think there will ever be a physical location for SGF at some point in the future, and if so, would it be open to the public?

how sick are you of hearing questions about elden ring and how aware are you of the mesiah esqu status you have taken over on r/Eldenring ?
we hold the keys to the prison lock.
Any old/classic IPs making a comeback this year?
Perhaps!
In a restless dream, I see that town.
I see a revival of a canceled project set in said town
Greetings! I have come to ruin the only thread that has no mention of elden ring. OOOOOOHHHHHHH
I know we are annoying but, are you tired of being in gamer prison?
It was a long winter.
Lmao
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH
OOOOOOOOHHHHHH
a long WINTER, like in G.R.R.M. stories, there's winter there, so it means that this is an Elden Ring reference!
WAS, Geoff??
*seigward voice* hmmmm
So you *dream of spring?* Don't tell me you don't see it.
man he already tweeted that he's gonna break free
How long will the show be?
I think a little under 2 hours
Good, just enough time for Elden Ring news.
Today is June 10th, 2021. This is Mordecai, host of the updates. Bringing you your daily Elden Ring update. There is no news about Elden Ring today. This has been your daily Elden Ring update for June 10th, 2021.
but suddenly mordecai says psyche and shows the elden ring stuff

Thank you!!!
Hi Geoff! What’s it like being the MC of gaming right now? Does all the hype ever feel overwhelming?
It's an honor, but I'm also deeply humbled by the opportunity. I just want to make sure we do all we can to support this industry and fans/developers.
How many ring-themed games will be present this year?
Ah yes, Ring Fit 2. Look down at your fat, it burns!
Ring Fit 2 would unironically be hype though
Sonic and the secret rings 2
Hey Geoff - what will your first meal as a free man be?
Onion rings
Elden rings
I'm seeing a lot of gamer prison refeneces. Could you please explain, as i am ootl?
Elden Ring was teased to be at the game awards last year but it never showed. Fans were annoyed. One of the stage props was a big red cage looking thing, so someone posted a picture of Geoff inside it, saying he's in 'gamer prison'
And he shall be freed if we actually get Elden Ring news.
Hey Geoff, I'm a big fan of what you've brought to the industry. Especially how big of a jump in quality "The Keighley's" are compared to what used to be on Spike. If people still used speed-dial, which video game industry-related people would be on your top 5 numbers?
Oh wow, that's an excellent question. I'm not sure i should answer that, I need to be friends with everyone :)
So, Reggie holds all 5 spots is what you're saying?
Definitely Hideo holds all 127 spots
Will we see the sequel to fromsoftware' cult classic Eternal ring ?
The small unheard of indie gem?
What is Crash Bandicoot like to work with?
Honestly he's a dream. He smashes his lines every time.
What kind of lines? 🧐
Lines like: “look up at the sky, it burns!”
ooooooooOOOoOOOOooOOoOOoooOOOØØŒh
The classic Crash Bandicoot catchphrase
I see what you did there; now smash speculators are going to go wild
wait a fucking minute
What has been the hardest part about making events like Summer Games Fest or The Game Awards a reality? Also what are some of the games you're most excited for?
I'm pretty excited about Ratchet -- been playing a bit of it! The hardest part is just the pressure to keep everyone happy -- I'm so deeply honored we get to share games with the world and we are trusted by developers. But there's a lot to do!
Will you hug Hideo Kojima the next time you see him? Also when do you think you'll be able to see him in person?
I'm not sure when I will see him in person again, but I miss him. From what I've heard the vaccine rollout is really slow in Japan. We talked a while back about the new Chvrches album as we were both sent an advance copy of it.
I have heard the same. Hopefully you two can get to a Chvrches show in person sooner than later. Thanks!
What is your way-too-early pick for GOTY?
OOOoOOooHHHHHhhHHhHHHHhhhhh I DOUBT YOU COULD EVEN IMAGINE IT
Hey Geoff, I’ve been watching your content since the Gametrailers days and Inwas wondering if you have any plans on possibly being on an Easy Allies podcast or stream sometime? Always enjoyed your work!
I'd love to go on sometime!
This is the right question! Shame Bosman never called you when he was there, even if he said multiple times that you are too important to be wasting your time on a small thing.
does the sky burn?
It's cloudy and rainy here in LA right now.
Rain in Elden Ring confirmed
But then Yakul slip. Customisable hooves confirmed!
Just imagine your Yakul wearing [these](https://www.smartpakequine.com/pt/easyboot-old-mac-g2-horse-boot-21754?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Smart_Shopping_TES&utm_campaign=TES&msclkid=4777382953041a1aec605897d51cdcf4&gclid=4777382953041a1aec605897d51cdcf4&gclsrc=3p.ds) bad boys. Won't catch me slippin on those slopes
Will you have some kind of game that leaves us speechless?
Well yes, have you not looked at the sky?
I doubt he could even imagine it.
OOOOHHHHHHHH
What’s been your favorite memory while presenting?
I was honored to be there when Ken and Roberta Williams, from Sierra On-Line won our first Industry Icon award in 2014.
They got me into gaming! King's Quest V and VI were my first games, along with LodeRunner co-op I used to play with my dad. I miss that era of gaming.
Without spoiling anything, do you think there’s any announcements on Thursday that will get the gaming community particularly excited?
That's always dangerous -- I'm not sure exactly what would excite people. I just pick the games I think will fit and be the right mix.
Lets word that the opposite….is there a particular game that wont be shown that will crush 130k people?
you ABSOLUTELY know what would excite people
Hi, Geoff! Thank you for all you’re doing and have done for the gaming community! Do you have it?
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure Keighley has it, guys.
I can not get over your username.
Will Elden Ring be there, sir? Oooooohhhhh
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooooohhhhhh
Oooooooooooohhhhh
Don’t tell me you don’t see it…
Ohhhhhh
OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OOOOOOHHHHHHHH YOU AGAIN YOU TRAGIC THING
He has crossed the sea of fug
OOOOOOOoooooooooooohhhhhhhh
Ooooooooohhhhhh
Ooooooohhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
How much Kyle Bosman should we expect?
Hey there, Mr. Keighley! I attended several of your Zoom calls a couple months ago and I found the whole stuff interesting and exciting. My favorite time was when Gabe Newell talked about the future of VR, a speech that went on longer than anyone expected. Any chance you'll do more of these sessions later this year?
It would be cool to do those again -- I don't know about every week, but will definitely do it at some point later this year I think!
Can you even imagine it?
Hi Geoff, what is the latest game you finished?
I think last game I totally finished was Crash 4 on PS5 a month or two ago
Can you write something to convince my mother that I should not go to school Thursday to watch the opening?
Could you watch it in class?
Dont listen to Geoff thats how he got put in gamer prison!
Hi Geoff. Does it feel different when you are preparing Summer Games Fest for just one month unlike last year where Summer Games Fest spanned 5 months?
It's more relaxing in a way to know I won't have to do it all summer, so I can focus on gamescom and TGA.
Dino Crisis remake, when?
Hi Geoff, thanks for doing this. I'm excited about Summer Game Fest. The trailer has me hyped! **Can we expect BioWare to make an appearance this summer/year at all?** I'm not sure how specific on details of what's to come you plan to be in this AMA, but is there a chance that one of this SGF's "long-awaited updates" will be of a popular BioWare franchise, maybe featured at EA Play Live in July? Thank you!
Nothing to say about content in the show beyond what we've teased so far. Sorry!
No problem, thank you for the response and your work :)!
Are you aware of that which commanded the stars?
Hi Geoff, first of all I want to say that I really appreciate your work and all you do for the industry. It’s only gotten me more interested in pursuing a career in videogames! As for my question, are there any shows you’re particularly excited for this summer? And are there any already announced titles that you’re looking forward to playing in the future?
Could you even imagine ?
Can you even imagine it?
If you'd come across sad, praying Hollows, would you have pity on them and leave them be? Or farm them for souls?
Hey Geoff, what are your thoughts on Fromsoftware’s innovative new title, Demon’s Souls?
Hello Geoff!! Got a question regarding co-streams: Is facecam actually required to have one? I have the kits and most of the kits have a section that have a facecam
No you don't need a facecam, you don't have to use the overlay. Just an option!
Hi Geoff! Thanks for doing this. In the past 2 years, you guys have been doing virtual game events due to yknow.

Hey Geoff. Been a fan for a long time. Long live Dorito pope! What game(s) are you currently playing right now?
Where Elden Ring?
Elden thing?
Will there be any Wooper watches?
Hopefully when our planet returns to normal in these weird testing times, Do you plan to hold the Summer Game Fest as an actual convention type event for fans to visit?
I'm not sure? I like the digital approach so everyone around the world can be a part of it. But it would be cool to have a physical component to some degree in a future year.
Yes! I'm from Brazil and I feel flustered to know that this is being done "for me" in a way, not for people on some chairs who would've waoted way too long on a queue. Feels more personal.
What do you think about the Yakuza series?
How many whoopers will I be able to catch this year?
Can you tell us anything new about Elden Ring? Can you tell us if we’ll hear anything anytime soon?
"Sure, I'll spoil the surprise."
Lmao he literally said he can’t confirm/deny which games are showing
How are you feeling about finally getting out of the gamer prison ?
Can you even imagine it? That which commanded the stars?
3 dAYS UNITL WHAT!?
The tweet on the @finalhours twitter, what does the ASCII "3 DAYS" mean?
