Summer Game Fest 2026 Reminds Me Why I Still Love Games

Every year, I tell myself not to get too excited.

I've been playing games long enough to know how this works.

A trailer appears.

The music swells.

The crowd cheers.

The internet explodes.

And then six months later, nobody is talking about the game anymore.

I've seen enough showcases, enough promises, and enough disappointments to become a little cynical.

Maybe you have too.

And yet, every June, I find myself right back here.

Waiting.

Watching.

Hoping.

That's why Summer Game Fest has become something much bigger than a marketing event.

It's not really about release dates.

It's not about world premieres.

It's not even about which company "wins" the show.

It's about possibility.

For a few hours, the future of gaming feels completely unknown.

Maybe tonight we'll finally see the game we've been waiting years for.

Maybe a forgotten franchise will return from the dead.

Maybe an indie developer we've never heard of will reveal the game we'll spend the next hundred hours obsessed with.

We don't know.

And that's exactly why we watch.

I still remember being younger and feeling like every new game reveal could change everything.

A single trailer could dominate conversations for months.

A single announcement could make the wait for summer vacation feel impossible.

Back then, gaming felt limitless.

In some ways, it still does.

The older I get, the more I realize that the games themselves aren't always what stay with me.

It's the anticipation.

The excitement.

The feeling of wondering what comes next.

Some of my favorite gaming memories started long before I ever picked up a controller.

They started with a reveal.

A trailer.

A promise.

A moment when my imagination filled in all the blanks.

That's what Summer Game Fest still gives us.

Not certainty.

Not guarantees.

Possibility.

And honestly, I think that's why events like this matter.

Gaming has become bigger than ever.

There are more games, more platforms, more content creators, and more opinions than at any point in history.

Yet somehow, for one night, millions of people around the world stop what they're doing and watch together.

Not because we know something amazing is coming.

Because we hope it is.

There's something surprisingly beautiful about that.

Hope is a powerful thing.

Especially in gaming.

Every great adventure begins before you press Start.

It begins the moment you believe something incredible might be waiting for you on the other side of the screen.

Tonight, Geoff Keighley will walk onto a stage and introduce trailers, gameplay reveals, and world premieres.

Some announcements will be forgotten by next week.

Some games will never live up to the hype.

That's inevitable.

But somewhere in those two hours, there might be one reveal.

One game.

One unexpected moment.

The kind that reminds us why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.

And if I'm honest, that's the real reason I'll be watching.

Not for the biggest trailer.

Not for the loudest surprise.

But for that feeling.

The feeling that the next great adventure could be just one reveal away.

# Marvel's Wolverine Isn't About Being Strong. It's About Enduring What Should Break You.

For years, people have looked at Wolverine and seen the wrong thing.

They saw the claws.

They saw the violence.

They saw the healing factor.

They saw a man who couldn't be stopped.

But that's never been why Wolverine mattered.

The truth is, Wolverine was never a fantasy about being invincible.

He was a fantasy about surviving.

And there's a difference.

When Insomniac recently revealed more of Marvel's Wolverine, much of the conversation focused on the brutality. The blood. The dismemberment. The savage combat.

People saw the violence.

I saw the pain.

Because underneath every slash of those claws is something that has always defined Logan better than any superpower ever could.

Suffering.

Every fight leaves him broken.

Every battle leaves scars.

Every victory costs him something.

And yet he keeps moving.

Again.

And again.

And again.

That has always been the real Wolverine story.

Not the healing.

The endurance.

Because healing implies the damage disappears.

Wolverine teaches us something harder.

Sometimes the damage stays.

Sometimes the scars remain.

Sometimes the memories never leave.

And somehow you find a way to keep going anyway.

That's why Wolverine has survived generations while countless superheroes have come and gone.

Most superheroes represent what we wish we could become.

Wolverine represents what we already are.

Nobody reading this can fly.

Nobody reading this can lift a car over their head.

Nobody reading this is saving the world from alien invasions.

But everyone knows what it feels like to carry pain.

Everyone knows what it feels like to lose something.

To regret something.

To wake up exhausted and still force themselves forward because there is no other choice.

That's Wolverine.

Not the claws.

Not the rage.

The persistence.

The refusal to stay down.

The new game seems to understand that better than ever.

For the first time, the wounds matter.

You see them.

You watch them happen.

You watch Logan's body struggle to recover.

The game doesn't hide the damage.

It wants you to feel it.

Because Logan feels it.

That's something many adaptations forget.

Wolverine doesn't shrug off pain.

He experiences all of it.

Every bullet.

Every blade.

Every broken bone.

His gift was never that he avoids suffering.

His curse is that he survives it.

Imagine carrying decades of loss.

Friends buried.

Relationships destroyed.

Memories that refuse to fade.

A past that follows you no matter how far you run.

Then imagine waking up every morning and continuing anyway.

That's not invincibility.

That's resilience.

And maybe that's why Wolverine feels more relevant today than ever before.

We live in a world that constantly tells us to appear strong.

To hide our struggles.

To pretend we're fine.

To keep smiling.

To act like nothing hurts.

Wolverine has always represented the opposite.

He's angry.

Broken.

Scarred.

Exhausted.

And still standing.

There is something deeply human about that.

Maybe that's why so many people connect with Logan.

Not because he's a superhero.

Because he's a survivor.

A man carrying wounds nobody can fully see.

A man trying to outrun his past and discovering that the only way forward is through it.

A man who gets back up not because he's fearless, but because staying down was never an option.

The older I get, the more I realize Wolverine was never a power fantasy.

He was a reflection.

A reminder that strength isn't measured by how hard you hit.

It's measured by how much pain you carry without letting it define you.

It's measured by how many times life knocks you down before you finally refuse to stay there.

That's why the healing factor was never the point.

The point was what happened before the healing.

The damage.

The struggle.

The suffering.

The choice to keep moving.

If Insomniac truly understands that, Marvel's Wolverine won't just be another superhero game.

It will be something rarer.

A story about resilience.

A story about survival.

A story about a man who has every reason to give up and never does.

And maybe that's why Wolverine continues to matter after all these years.

Because deep down, most of us aren't looking for heroes who never break.

We're looking for proof that broken people can keep going.

Logan has been giving us that proof for decades.

And that's what makes him unforgettable.

# God Of War Was Never About The Strongest God

For nearly twenty years, we thought *God of War* was about power.

The power to destroy.

The power to survive.

The power to make gods bleed.

We watched Kratos fight monsters, kill gods, and bring entire worlds crashing down around him.

And like everyone else, I thought he was the center of the story.

But the older I get, the more I think we misunderstood what this franchise was trying to tell us.

Because when you strip away the mythology, the weapons, the battles, and the spectacle, *God of War* has never really been about the strongest god.

It's been about the people worth changing for.

And no one changed Kratos more than Faye.

The strange thing is that most of us never really knew her.

We met Kratos.

We traveled with Atreus.

We fought beside them.

We watched them laugh, argue, grieve, and grow.

But Faye was already gone.

By the time players entered this story, she had become something else.

A memory.

A story.

A voice carried through the people she left behind.

And somehow, despite barely seeing her, we felt her presence everywhere.

Every step of the journey existed because of her.

Every path she marked.

Every secret she left behind.

Every lesson she wanted Atreus to learn.

Every chance she gave Kratos to become something more than the man he used to be.

She wasn't standing beside them.

Yet she was guiding everything.

That's why the reveal of *God of War Laufey* feels different.

This isn't the return of a character.

It's the chance to finally meet a person we've spent years missing.

Think about how rare that is.

Most stories introduce someone and then ask us to care when they're gone.

This story did the opposite.

It asked us to grieve someone we never truly knew.

For years, Faye existed as an absence.

An empty space at the center of a family.

A woman everyone loved.

A woman everyone missed.

A woman whose impact was so powerful that even after death, she continued shaping the future of the people she cared about.

Now, for the first time, we get to see the world through her eyes.

And honestly?

That's more emotional than any surprise resurrection could ever be.

Because *God of War Laufey* isn't really asking:

"What happens when a hero comes back?"

It's asking something much more human.

Who was she before she became a memory?

Who was she before she became a legend?

Who was she before she became the woman everyone mourned?

The reveal tells us that Faye awakens after death in a realm where gods from different mythologies struggle for power and survival.

But that isn't what stayed with me.

What stayed with me was the reason she keeps moving forward.

Not revenge.

Not glory.

Not destiny.

Love.

The possibility that the people she sacrificed everything for may still need her.

There is something deeply human about that.

If most of us were given one impossible chance after goodbye, we wouldn't spend it chasing greatness.

We would spend it trying to protect the people we love.

One more conversation.

One more warning.

One more hug.

One more chance to make sure they're okay.

That's what makes Faye feel real.

Not her strength.

Not her powers.

Not her ability to fight gods.

Her love.

Because love is the one thing that has always survived death in *God of War*.

Long after kingdoms fall.

Long after prophecies fail.

Long after gods disappear.

Love remains.

It's the invisible force that pushed Kratos to become a father.

The force that guided Atreus toward his future.

And now it seems to be the force guiding Faye through death itself.

Maybe that's why this reveal hit me harder than I expected.

Not because we're getting a new God of War game.

Not because we're exploring a new mythology.

Not because we're finally controlling one of the most important characters in the franchise.

But because for years we watched a family live with the loss of someone they loved.

And now, for the first time, we finally get to meet her.

Most of us met Faye after she was already gone.

That's what makes this story different.

We spent years missing someone we never really knew.

Years listening to stories about her.

Years seeing the hole she left behind.

And now, at last, we get the chance to understand why her absence hurt so much.

Maybe *God of War* was never about the Ghost of Sparta.

Maybe it was always about the woman who taught him how to be human.

God of War Laufey’s Narrative Director and Lead Writer share what w...

# The Most Dangerous Part Of Gaming Isn't Disappointment. It's Hope.

I still remember believing that the next game would change my life.

Not improve it.

Not entertain me.

Change it.

Maybe that sounds ridiculous now.

But if you've been gaming long enough, you know exactly what I mean.

A trailer appears.

A logo fades onto the screen.

A soundtrack starts playing.

And suddenly you're no longer looking at a game.

You're looking at a future.

That's why I still watch every PlayStation showcase.

Not because I expect every announcement to be incredible.

Because for a brief moment, I get to feel something most adults slowly lose.

Anticipation.

Real anticipation.

The kind that keeps you checking the clock.

The kind that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel important.

The kind that reminds you what it felt like to be younger.

I think that's what people misunderstand about gaming showcases.

They're not presentations.

They're time machines.

For an hour, millions of people stop thinking about bills, responsibilities, deadlines, bad news, and everything waiting for them tomorrow.

For an hour, they become the person they used to be.

The kid who believed the next adventure was right around the corner.

And maybe that's why disappointment hurts so much.

Because when a game fails, we don't just lose a game.

We lose the future we imagined with it.

The memories we thought we'd make.

The feelings we thought we'd experience.

The version of ourselves we thought we'd become.

I've done this more times than I can count.

I've watched trailers over and over again.

I've imagined masterpieces that never existed.

I've convinced myself that a game I hadn't even played would somehow recreate feelings I haven't felt in years.

Not because I'm irrational.

Because I'm human.

And honestly, I don't think gamers are really chasing games anymore.

I think we're chasing moments.

A feeling.

That rare experience where a game completely disappears and you're somewhere else.

Somewhere bigger.

Somewhere impossible.

Somewhere unforgettable.

The truth is that very few games ever achieve that.

But every showcase reminds us it might happen again.

Maybe with Wolverine.

Maybe with Intergalactic.

Maybe with something nobody sees coming.

That's the trap.

And it's also the magic.

Hope keeps setting us up for disappointment.

But it's also the reason we keep discovering things we love.

Without hope, we'd never be excited.

Without hope, we'd never be surprised.

Without hope, we'd never find the games that stay with us for the rest of our lives.

So when the countdown begins and the stream starts, I'll probably do exactly what I always do.

I'll tell myself not to expect too much.

I'll tell myself not to get carried away.

I'll tell myself I've learned this lesson before.

And then, within five minutes, I'll be imagining futures all over again.

Not because I haven't learned.

Because that's what gaming has always been.

A machine powered by possibility.

And no matter how old I get, some part of me still wants to believe the next great adventure is waiting on the other side of the screen.

# Microsoft Can't Bring Back What Halo Fans Actually Miss

When I read a former Bungie developer saying Microsoft is missing a massive opportunity with Halo, I expected to start thinking about games.

Instead, I started thinking about grief.

Not the kind that happens when someone dies.

The kind that happens when something you loved slowly becomes unrecognizable.

Because I don't think Halo fans are chasing a better game anymore.

I think they're chasing a feeling.

And that's a much harder thing to rebuild.

The strange thing about Halo is that every conversation eventually sounds the same.

People talk about maps.

Mechanics.

Campaigns.

Graphics.

Studios.

Engines.

Business decisions.

But underneath all of those arguments is a question nobody wants to ask.

What if the thing we're trying to get back was never inside Halo to begin with?

Because when I think about Halo, I don't immediately remember weapons.

I remember moments.

I remember hearing friends join a lobby.

I remember staying up far later than I should have.

I remember loading into worlds that felt impossibly large.

I remember believing there would always be another Halo worth waiting for.

And maybe that's the problem.

When people say they miss Halo, they're often describing a version of themselves.

The teenager with fewer responsibilities.

The friend group that still existed.

The excitement that came naturally.

The future that felt bigger than it does now.

We call it nostalgia.

But nostalgia is a misleading word.

It sounds warm.

Comfortable.

Harmless.

What people rarely admit is that nostalgia is grief wearing a smile.

It's the pain of realizing that a moment mattered more than you knew at the time.

And once it's gone, you can't return to it.

You can only remember it.

That's why Halo feels different from so many other franchises.

People don't argue this passionately about games they don't care about.

They argue because they care too much.

Because somewhere deep down, every new Halo announcement carries the same impossible hope.

Maybe this is the one.

Maybe this is the game that makes me feel the way I felt back then.

Maybe this is the game that brings me back.

But here's the uncomfortable truth.

No game can bring you back.

Because the thing you're missing wasn't just Halo.

It was your life.

It was the people you played with.

The age you were.

The problems you didn't have yet.

The version of yourself that existed when Halo felt magical.

Microsoft can remake maps.

They can remake campaigns.

They can remake entire games.

But nobody can remake a moment.

Nobody can remaster a memory.

Nobody can patch a feeling back into existence.

And maybe that's why Halo's struggle feels so personal.

Because it forces people to confront something they rarely think about.

The possibility that some things are special precisely because they happened once.

We spend years believing our favorite franchises are preserving memories.

But they're not.

They're preserving reminders.

The memory lives somewhere else.

Inside us.

That's why every new Halo game arrives carrying a burden no developer can realistically satisfy.

Players aren't comparing it to the previous game.

They're comparing it to a feeling.

And feelings are impossible competitors.

No studio can outperform your memories.

No graphics engine can compete with your imagination.

No remake can defeat the version of a moment you've been perfecting in your head for twenty years.

Yet despite all of that, I don't think Halo's story is sad.

I think it's revealing.

Because the reason people still argue about Halo isn't because they hate it.

It's because they love it.

The opposite of love isn't anger.

It's indifference.

And Halo fans are anything but indifferent.

They're still here.

Still debating.

Still hoping.

Still looking for something they can't quite explain.

Maybe that's the opportunity Microsoft is missing.

Not a return to old mechanics.

Not a return to old maps.

A return to understanding what Halo represented.

Because Halo was never just a shooter.

It was belonging.

It was anticipation.

It was friendship.

It was possibility.

And what Halo fans are really searching for isn't another game.

They're searching for proof that those feelings weren't left behind.

Maybe that's why these conversations never end.

Maybe that's why every new Halo reveal feels emotional before it feels exciting.

And maybe that's why this story was never really about Halo at all.

It's about what happens when a piece of your past becomes impossible to touch.

And how, sometimes, we spend years trying to find our way back to it.

Little Nightmares lore explained but not the way you've heard it before.

You played as Six. You survived The Maw. You thought she was the victim.

The Lady isn't the villain. She's the version of Six you were always building toward.

And you fed that process. Every room. Every choice. Every time you kept playing.

You told yourself you were escaping. You weren't.

Every room in The Maw was built for one purpose: to show you what you actually are when nobody's watching. The hunger wasn't Six's curse. It was yours. Six didn't betray Mono because she was broken. She betrayed him because you taught her how.

This isn't a lore video. This is a psychological autopsy of why you kept playing.

— The hunger mechanic isn't random. It's a conditioning system.
— The Lady isn't the villain. She's the version of Six you were always building toward.
— The ending doesn't punish Six. It exposes you.

Little Nightmares was never about childhood fear. It was about adult guilt.

And now, with the Nintendo Switch 2 bringing an entirely new generation into The Maw — the question returns. Who are you when the world makes you monstrous?
