And on top of that come rumors that Obsidian might have moved to UE5, which i guess makes it understandable that they can’t show it, dunno though. When Obsidian said what they said last year…that builds up expectations for us and then…nothing. No word at all anymore, it’s just disappointing.
Jez saw it last year, at least 
The thing is Diablo 4, Overwatch, Minecraft and Riot Deals encompass more people that any exclusive game

That’s the most fascinating there - while internet communities was tearing itself apart over the show (an Hoeg lambasted the show immensively) it was popular and highly rated show among the regular folks.
[/quote]What did Hoeg Law have to criticise about the show?
I don’t even want to comment about that 
It is better see than explain. I thought at first that he was joking…
Yeah I saw streams of people going crazy over Minecraft Legends and not even reacting to Kojima lol
Thing is, if games are not announced until they are 6-12 months away from release, every single game will leak beforehand. There will be no surprises at all.
maybe thats what needs to happen to this industry 
Haha, maybe.
Haha, true. Though Sony seems to do well enough there. Or maybe it’s just that I don’t follow them as much.
I just read the comments for the video…
However, I think it’s true that people will gravitate to the opinions that they favour. You look at the comments for that video, and the majority of commentators reacted negatively to the Xbox Showcase. Look at another video though, and the difference is like night and day. You’ll think you’re in the majority, when all that is happening is that you’re in a like-minded community.
I think more farther out announcements will be shifted to other events such as the game awards to potentially draw people in that are not in the xbox ecosystem yet. or they might be planning another event for that at a different time of the year. That could help with setting expectations for the future
Sony games seem to be merely the next game in an existing IP or remasters of remasters. None of which are surprises to anyone at all.
This is very true. Just look at all those codenames and info Jez has already given on games that are probably still years and years away.
I hope they will have more shows throughout the year, it’s about damn time.
99% of the people who watch these shows are not aware of the leaks lol.
Yeah, with 4-5 years of dev time before the announcement… that is what? 3 cycles of Microsoft contract mercs? If we thought it was a leaky ship now… haha.
Yeah, Horizon, God of War, Spider man, GT, TLOU…And then the same eastern games from the same publishers - RE, Final Fantasy…
I thought we were talking about First Party games, but yeah even if extended out to third party it’s just the usual suspects. No surprises at all.
You weren’t surprised about MLB The Show 22? 
I was watching with a few friends and nobody knew who he was when kojima was on screen. It’s the thing most that go to forums or listen to gaming podcasts forget.
I will say yesterday after the show a coworker in a meeting was talking about signing up to gamepass for the riot stuff
