it was the case in the era where Gamescom had much more weight than now. It was essentially a huge european gaming event. Now it is much less so due to the changes in the media consumption. More people will watch Xbox Showcase livestream than Gamescom livestream. Same with TGA.
Agreed. These shills do so much damage to their brand. But shills are part of Microsoft’s DNA.
Fixed and highlighted for the slow.
Also, PS fans after the massive W that Xbox had with their showcase:
No reason to announce it early if it’s 2025. Which let’s be honest it is.
And WoW always uses CG trailers. The game is too old to show off impressive gameplay trailers. And in the case of even Diablo, that's what we expect (and we can already play the game).
To be fair to Indy….. they did splice in actual gameplay footage with in game cinematics.
This. The bigger the competition, the better for us, gamers.
We used to bitch about that not that long ago. Weird.

Bring on the release windows. He have zero dates or even years on most of what was shown.
The games without years were Gears, SoD3 and Perfect Dark. Pretty much everything else was 24/25 I believe. I would assume those 3 titles don't have years because they are launching with the next console in late 2026 or early 2027.
There were several more like MGS, but from 3rd party so that on those publishers/developers.
I think a lot of publishers are waiting to see where other games land to announce their dates too. I imagine GTA is a big issue with all of this too.
You make a good point, especially about GTA6.
TLDNRThe show was almost 90 minutes long.
3 CGI trailers
One using all in game assets and Unreal Engine 5. Gears.
The other one an announce trailer from 3 fucking years ago. State of Decay.
And World of Warcraft that game from 20 years ago that everyone knows the gameplay people just love their CGI announcements.
And then you said any Devolver developer could have handled Fable the way Playground are.......when I ask you to mention said Devolver Developer, you mention DoubleFine........a studio owned by Xbox Games Studios so the game would be in effectively the exact same space except probably using Unreal Engine instead of Playgrounds branch of ForzaTech. (which has alot of interesting addition to it.)
But you'd still say it looks like a generic RPG from a Devolver Developer......................................................................while not actually knowing any Devolver Developers.
Am I high or are you high?
Spencer even said a few years ago they had "learned" (his favourite word?) not to show games too early. Well.
Spinster says.
Also the rumored Marcus Fenix collection maybe.
That's the funny part about all this:
Finally someone gets itThat's the funny part about all this:
Just when the Xbox fanbase finally gets a W, the console-wars are already over and the PS5 fanbase is standing there right besides them.
Maybe now they'll realize what some have been saying for a long time:
When MS steps down as a platform-holder, everybody wins.
I know a lot of people that don't feel that way but then again I am friends with a ton of people invested into only Xbox and have no desire to own a PlaystationThat's the funny part about all this:
