An audience with Geoff, from 7pm BST
It’s time for the third annualSummer Games Fest, the not-E3 live show hosted by Geoff Keighley (of ‘is Geoff Keighley’ fame). And what better way to enjoy an evening of game ads than together with RPS’s two most bass-voiced section editors? Myself and Ollie will be operating the liveblog levers as it all kicks off tonight, June 9th, from 7pm BST / 2pm ET / 11am PT.
We do hope you’ll join us, so here’s the official Summer Game Fest stream; scroll down just a wee bit further and you’ll find our rolling blog-o-tron. And we’re liiiiive:
Our live coverage of this event has finished.

It did indeed look like it might feature a loathsome dung eater, even if it’s not THE Loathesome Dung Eater.

Now a cinematic from Stormgate, a new RTS from Frost Giant Studios. Getting some Horizon Zero Dawn vibes so far. Protagonist has a cute little flying drone that sounds like a Protoss probe, and she’s exploring some old ruins.
Oop, now there’s a big demon attacking her, and she’s suddenly a mech. So it’s Horizon crossed with… Diablo? Destiny? Pacific Rim? Something?

Neil and Geoff are now chatting The Last of Us, the upcoming HBO show. There’s even an entire still image of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey crouching in a museum.
Oh hey, now their game counterparts - Troy Baker (again) and Ashley Johnson - are on stage too. They’ll be cameoing on the show.

Aha, HERE’S Planet Of Lana. A mysterious and lovely-looking side-scroller by Swedish devs Wishfully Studios.
I’ve said it before, but the vibes really make me think of a cross between Oddworld and Ori. There’s the stealthy evading of nasty-looking robotic enemies, and simultaneously the gorgeous natural landscapes and the partnership between Lana and her adorable alien creature companion. It looks brimming with character. Can’t wait.

Desta: The Memories Between is a new game from the devs behind Monument Valley. I’m hearing roguelike, turn-based tactics, and… Sports! Huh! Interesting.
It looks like a sort of poignant puzzle game where you’re in a dream world, passing a ball between the different characters to solve puzzles and progress from level to level.

Fox and Frog Travelers: The Demon of Adashino Island. Man, by the time I finished writing out that game name, the trailer had nearly finished.
Looks like a quirky narrative-driven adventure and puzzle game where you’re solving puzzles to bring light and colour to the world. There was a pretty horrifying face coming out of a wall at the end too, so the vibe is a bit hard to pin down.
