Summer Game Fest was already set to deliver a memorable week. With the Summer Game Fest stream on Friday, multiple streams (personally, my favorite day) on Saturday, and the Xbox Direct on Sunday, fans were ready to have all of their hopes and dreams come true. Then, suddenly, without warning, PlayStation decided to step in and announce a 40+ minute State of Play. WOW! Suddenly, the most exciting week for the gaming industry just got even more exciting. The most important thing, though, is the games that were announced. Well, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Down below is both the full State of Play, just in case you missed it, as well as the games that I thought looked the best. I won’t be including everything shown, but that’s why I have the full event posted as well. WE’RE ALL ABOUT NO FILLER ALL KILLER HERE AT THINKS OF A THOUGHTER.
