Was Summer Game Fest 2023 a Sizzler or a Wash Out? | Push Square

The curtain has closed on host Geoff Keighley’s annual E3-inspired livestream bonanza, with Summer Game Fest 2023 bringing the first gameplay from Mortal Kombat 1, as well as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 updates.

But after a slightly subdued PS Showcase earlier in the year, did the mastermind behind The Game Awards get the so-called Summer of Gaming back on track? Was this a scorcher or did the lack of meaningful announcements rain on your parade? Let us know below.

It was ok. Expectations were lower and a few decent trailers with gameplay.

Very good! It had a better surprises than the PlayStation showcase that’s for sure haha

Sonic, Spider-Man 2 release date and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were nice, the rest was not for me

I enjoyed it, I thought it was pretty good.

Sony was bad, this was worse

Ehh…pretty underwhelmed TBH.

I thought it was good. Wish they showed a bit more Spider-Man gameplay

Weird how we got some reveals that seemed more fitting at the ps showcase a mere few weeks back but it was a good showing. I mean could we really not get a spider-man release date back then lol

It had a full FF7R reveal… Already 10x better than Sony's showcase. And the Sand Land game looked interesting

I was actually pleasantly surprised. Expectations were low, but still, there were few cool unexpected games, some Sony heavy hitters… full disclosure, I expected an Xbox preview show, and got Sony encore.

The Toriyama game and, of course, Rebirth made it for me. There were lots of games that could be cool but I don't think enough big hitters to make it
