It happens everytime a SoP comes round even though we have seen Xbox do something similar for their games. Heck we just had one for SoT as you say lol.

Yep, it seems like every one triggers a mini meltdown.

Still some more communication on upcoming games would be nice.

For crying out loud, As Dusk Falls has been rated and could come out like anytime and WE STILL HAVEN’T SEEN IT

Like we could have Goldeneye and ADF lined up before E3, let’s talk about them not just in blogposts.

As Dusk Falls is a indie game

It’s literally published by Xbox Global Publishing.

It’s an Xbox game, made by Xbox with Xbox’s money taking a chance on a new studio made up by QD vets.

Yeah but the scale of that game does not warrent a full on presentation

Did I say it had to be focused on ADF? You could have put SoT + Grounded update + ADF and Goldeneye all together in a 20 min presentation.

Xbox Spring Showcase baby

Also idk why saying Xbox can do better presentations = having panic attacks or meltdowns. Not everything is an overreaction.

Yeah, believe me you’ll know when it’s an overreaction because I’ll probably be leading it and @Doncabesa will probably be involved in frequent responses to my bullshit.

People at Xbox when fans ask for big shows in Q1/Q2:

Actually that MIGHT change since the marketing team was hiring a bunch of video people lately, so maybe just because of how big XGS + Bethesda + Acti-Blizz could get they might need to just start doing more updates to avoid having overly long shows or over-crowding games.

I mean this year at E3 there’s already a chance at Avowed, Fable, Redfall, Forza Motorsport, Project Midnight, Starfield Deep Dive and whatever else they’ve got up their sleeves.

That’s a huge show ON PAPER AND IN THEORY from just 1st party.

I hope they’ll let Bethesda marketing Xbox games, but from what I’m seeing it’s the opposite, unfortunately.

They’ll have to change their schedule eventually

They will simply have too many games too show to rely so much on E3/summer showcase, whether its in the form of single game showcases or more bigger events like a mini E3 in the spring, we will have to wait and see

That totals $10.2 billion in losses for 2021 from the Reality Labs effort

Guess theyre desperate to make standalone VR look like its not a moneysink

Grounded is doing their own thing. Sea of Thieves is already big enough to market itself. As Dusk Fall will be Shadow drop imo

Yeah Shadow Drop a game nobody has seen.

Mistake.

Highlight the team making it, woo them a little.

Don’t just drop it off like you’re taking out recycling.

It’s a new game from a new team in a narrative story-driven QD style game.

Fucking market it.

Seriously.

Can’t you believe this? Shadow-drop a game nobody’s seen with zero gameplay.
