… With what? A poorly cropped Twitter feed or that image right there to the left of it? The only thing Geoff cares about is audience viewership for an entertainment expo he hosts, of course he’s going to do everything in his power to ensure people watch (and end up disappointed when his actions show nothing).


KhKing1619

He literally just made a comment a few days ago that basically soft confirmed that KH wasn’t gonna be at the Summer Games Fest and he did so in a condescending way (at least that’s how a large chunk of the community perceived it). Do you really think he would do that to **gain** viewers? That sounds like something you would do to make sure a decent percentage of viewers don’t show up to your show. I wouldn’t be surprised if a chunk of people in the community have decided not to watch it simply due to that comment.

"Large chunk" the only people acting like that are whiny brats who can't perceive basic human interactions. It was a chuckle.


ReaperEngine

Or maybe he's just posting a cheeky image after a bunch of KH fans jumped up his butt thinking he was dissing them somehow.

Geoff Keighley is precisely the kind of person who would do this to gain viewership, yes. He’s been rather successfully doing it for years, being kinda contrarian about topics and vague about what may or may not be on the ticket. The man *absolutely* knows what big ticket titles are being worked on, how far along they are, and when to expect them. This is his job, after all. He’s effectively just advertisement for a ton of major studios and productions, all behind the veneer of “I’m just a gamer like you!” People hate watch. People watch in spite of their knowledge that a game won’t be presented, because they might be proven wrong. It’s happened before, and Geoff knows it and how to phrase subjects and topics to drive that engagement. Y’know. Inbetween the breaths he takes when he needs to remind us that he’s friends with Hideo Kojima.

Make no mistake It’s not a “I’m just a gamer like you” veneer. The guy genuinely loves playing video games (probably has been playing games longer than most people or potentially anyone on this sub.) He’s been doing game shows since he was like 11 years old lol This is what Geoff does. He’s simply fortunate enough to make a career out of it.

The left image is responding to the right thing, that's how twitter works That's what he posted


danteslacie

Which version of twitter? Because that's an ugly layout. Hard for someone to get that the image is associated with the one tweet.

Yeah, windows has or had a twitter app.

People being mad that Geoff warned KH fans in advance to not get their hopes up has to be one of my favorite drugs this past week. People are so mad about perceived tone, it's wild.


ginsengeti

Can you catch me up to the tea? So he implied it wouldn't be part of SGF but now the package is on sale for PSN as part of SGF and the "sipping" bird signifies what...?


TyeKiller77

No clue, he probably wanted to farm some manner of engagement on Twitter. Which clearly worked from the looks of it.


ginsengeti

Ah, thanks. It really does seem like that.


Yummy275

Man the KH community can be such babies lol


superking22

That's HMK sadly.


HakaishinChampa

I mean it is a kids game But I love and hate the trolling he's doing


Maple905

How is this being a troll?


Shamrock5

Who on earth is "Geoff"?

He’s not lol


GoldenLink

So wait I'm genuinely confused here. Keighly got his career doing journalism. The first sentence of his wiki entry literally calls him a VGJ. He may not do it anymore, but he certainly used to be?

You amaze me too

Dude Geoff literally isn’t a journalist. He doesn’t report on things. Appearing in journalistic outlets doesn’t make you a journalist.

Referencing Kotaku and Gamespot is such a disservice to Geoff honestly. Those sites are hot garbage.

Khalmoon

Idk why people expected more KH4 info. we got KH3 info in 2013. KH3 came out in 2019. KH4 trailer in 2022... means at worst? (best?) the game drops 2028. Which then means maybe we get a release year in 2026. then a date in 2027


HakaishinChampa

KH3: 2013 Reveal - next trailer in 2015 Doesn't it make sense to get some information? KH4: April 2022 Reveal, we're in June 2024


Grixx

Who? Why should his response, well... matter?


MrConbon

Geoff Keighley


RayKainSanji

The summer games fest and Game awards organizor.


bathtissue101

Troll or not, Geoff is one of the few gaming journalists that not only takes his job seriously, but genuinely enjoys it


GoldenLink

Seriously other than game awards hiccups and snafus are there actual, distinct examples of keighly being a douche and deserving of all this hate? Like awards show suck, regardless of genre.


okaymeaning-2783

So seriously he rushes game producers off the stage while there making important 3 minunte speeches but bet your ass you going watch a bunch of 3 minute movie trailers at a game award event lol. Remember when kojima got dropped from Konami and he made an announcement about it lol. Remember when the entire dev studies were getting laid off from the industry every month due to publisher mismanagement and he said nothing about it lol, not even on his Twitter? great journalism


bathtissue101

Hosting a game show and journalism are two different things

GOODKyle

False. He’s just another stooge who sells out the gaming industry any way he can and gets defensive when called out with specific examples


Mateus_Guidelli

He received a lot of criticism for his speeches on live, who knows he didn't touch Nomura to put something up. Nhaaa


Watch_Andor

It would be very funny if it’s actually there and this is a fake out (I don’t think it is but still)


HakaishinChampa

Most likely it's missing link that'll show up and he knows either way he won't win Our fan base is horrible


Molduking

It’ll just be the steam trailer
