In a new interview, Geoff Keighleycreator of Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards, says this year’s event will feature multiple very important streams from developers and publishers, although it seems likely that some of them will take place more outside the four main days. Keighley also said that few companies are planning stand-alone events this year and many are expected to attend their own presentations. Yes ok, Xbox has announced its product demo, it’s currently unclear how Sony or Nintendo could fit into the schedule.
Keighley added that he would not like the event to focus too much on Western developers. That is why the Summer Game Fest production team came up with an interesting way to talk about the state of game development globally and who makes them. This year’s schedule also includes live events in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, fans can gather to watch the event broadcast in the IMAX theater.
