Tbh there's that but also, they said to keep expectations high, but Idk if there's anything I would personally want of the Xbox show, best thing I could ask for was already leaked in P3R, besides that most of the things that have been talked about I don't have any hype or expectations, Avowed, Fable, Starfield, Forza Motorsport, they're just not for me.
I don't think this is just a reflection on Xbox. Imo people are just fed-up of digital showcases that hide everything and show nothing.
I mean in reality they do have the games, but they are so far behind in development that I don't get how most of these games are still developing I mean you could sit there and argue that it takes time and yes it does, but Sony has managed to put out constant releases since 2013 through 2019. While on Microsoft's side of the garden, they have not done enough in terms of releases other than Forza, Halo, and some other ones I don't remember. I mean they have had reports of miss development but that is Microsoft's fault for mismanagement and some will disagree *cough* fanboys on Twitter. Overall let's see what happens tomorrow.
This here is a big thing on why these Direct Style shows are worse for me, I miss in person events
After a few consecutive years of Xbox events underdelivering or showing something and then the thing never coming out or being delayed to infinity I've learned to believe it when I see it, 0 hype for the show (especially after Phil's comments last month) but sure, there's a 0.1% chance they could pull a rabbit out of a hat. I'm fairly certain that the show will disappoint, though, because they got rid of the 12 month limit. Anything further out than that will be in-engine target renders.
Be careful, if they end up shipping a big hit this year the wave of threads, yt videos and articles about Sony's demise will be endless.
Your mistake is thinking there won't be endless waves of fake hype and Sony doomed posts and "news" articles regardless of the quality of the xbox showcase. It happens every year like clockwork.
I don't like when Phil Spencer lies or breaks his promises, but Todd....
Sony need a fire lit under them, but the doom posting, articles and fanboy narratives will be unbelievably obnoxious if the showcase is good.
Todd lies even more than Phil, and he doesn't even care one bit about the quality of the games he ships.
That has to be AI generated
. This or MS is taking the japanese market very seriously these days!
