Parris Lilly - "I had multiple people at Xbox tell me there was so much more they could have shown and Gamescom is shaping up to be a big show too"

I can see it.

They didn't show games like Clockwork, Contraband etc and if Doom turned out to be true from that Bethesda FTC document, it means Fallout 3 and Oblivion Remake/Remasters are also real.
 
After all of these years, and several 3rd party publishers later.... no shit.

Gamer amnesia is all too real. That social media/msm 8 second memory cycle.

There cant be that much more unless were talking 2026+
 
I mean the show was great and no doubt they have more stuff to show but what did we expect? They bought 2 of the biggest publishers in the business.

Its hardly impressive, some of the games do look good but we would have got most of these games anyway without good old Fatty Phil sticking his fingers in everyone else's pies.
 
I still impressed how much of effect Xbox Showcase did on the online discourse. A lot of positivity.
I'm not. If there's one thing the internet has proven, it's that it's got a very short term memory and extremely fickle.

10 years of constant fuck ups including a full year of recent fumbles forgotten because of a good showcase. We do this almost every other year.

Yea I thought the show case was great but I didn't forget who MS is. I want to see how good the games are when they come out not how good MS can make them look in a showcase.

Just because they messed up doesn't mean their work won't click.

The wait time is over for them. Now they need to keep this level every year if they want to keep Xbox

Clockwork
Contraband
Project Mara
Everwild

We didn't see anything from Playground Games Forza Horizon team. Double Fine, Rare's Everwild folks and InXile also missing. We know Ninja Theory had multiple projects in the works. Kojima's OD.
Not that much from Xbox Publishing aside from Flight Sim 2024...so the likes of Contraband are still outstanding.

People are not supposed to be impressed with a showcase of videogames because Xbox's screwed up in the past?

Nobody 'forgot' anything. It's just not the topic of discussion at the moment.

What's the point you're trying to make here? Because noone forgot anything, people have been shitting on Xbox for years.
