100% agree. The stream quality makes a signficant difference watching the show. Forza looked like a different game.
I wanna be honest: i seen the worst Xbox showcase since 2017. Last year was Epic. I think people are a bit dumb when they asking only “gameplay, gameplay, gameplay” and the final result it’s a 90 minutes show really bad and without hype. Showing only the game for the next 12 months It was really stupid, imho.
On the other hand, Starfield Is fucking stunning… My God, this Is my game. Now i understand the delay. Great graphic for this enourmous game.
Redfall could be interesting and also the new game by Team Ninja.
Pentiment Is a big no, for me.
ASOBO: very talented people. I love Plague tale.
Diablo IV: fanstic but it’s not a new.
Rating the show: 5/10.
Next year i would like to see more CGI for the next big titles.
It is your opinion, I respect that, even though internally I’m more like :

Yeah, I was also shocked at how different Starfield looked at 4k. So much better and clean.
It’s your opinion and I respect that, but this quote “Next year i would like to see more CGI for the next big titles.”
Hell no to that.

Or scrap CGI and how about just show the game in action in some kind of way even if it’s still far away? Sony has done it multiple times, they still do, Nintendo has done it too. Xbox can too. It probably just depends on if Xbox/XGS finds it worth taking the time out to make material for a show.

Funny since people wanted no more of that after 2020. It seems MS will never win.

Let’s be honest… Microsoft will never do anything right and always are going to be criticize by a group of people, no matter what, they will never win these group of people.
Microsoft reaction every time they do or show something…

I see no reason in sticking to 12 month games anymore for the extended showcase
But I also don’t see them announcing any new game

I wouldnt expect anything major at this show
More interviews and some extra footage of games we just saw is what im expecting
Always my opinion. And when i seen the leaks about the absence of some titles like Awoved, contraband, Fable, Compulsioni and more i felt that It would be a “meh Showcase”.
It’s not that complicated.
They should strike the balance, but that was basically impossible after announcing a shit ton of games too early. You need some surprises for a great show.
I think they sacrificed this year to even it out a bit.

I remember how it was back then, people only had gameplay in mind, too much CGI, yada yada. And there were surprises at this show, some of them that got leaked beforehand sadly. However, overall, people seem to like it and the format, so I think they did things right.
I found more hype seeing a CGI for a 2024 big title in comparison to see generic gameplay. As I said, beside Starfield, Redfall and forza (Diablo IV and Plague of tale gameplay have already been shown), a bad showcase for me.
Yes, this could be a concrete possibility. Like the First announcement of The last of US 2 with a gameplay. And the same thing for Ghost of sushima.

That’s you’re opinion, but you are in the minority here, most gamers want to see more gameplay and less CGI in any event.
Yeah as much as people might want the gameplay, gameplay, gameplay
It’s a limiter on what you can show and it can also result in pacing being off and honestly a couple of big in-engine/CGI trailers somewhere in the middle of the show to break up some of the smaller indies probably would have helped a lot
But it is what it is, they wanted their 12 month show and they certainly delivered in that regard even if it wasn’t what myself or others expected
If we are lucky we get GoldenEye tomorrow. Expecting different big games from the main showcase is just hopium imho. Don’t go there.
Don’t take the 2020 Showcase as a example. There were only CGI for One reason: COVID. But i remember well all of excitment for the Avowed and Fable announcements.
The best showcase have been 2018 and 2021.
