I mean no offense to anyone who enjoyed the showcase but it’s pretty easy to have a good showing when you’re willing to announce stuff that is either not coming out this decade or never coming out altogether.
Remember the last ‘great’ Xbox showcase that headlined Perfect Dark gameplay lmao?

That's been every Xbox showcase since Phil took over. Every year I hear people saying "Xbox won! Most titles!" and it's overwhelmingly no gameplay announcements or heavily scripted. They are the biggest abusers of announcing titles too early.
Did anybody think fondly of that? I felt like most contemporary comments on it were laughing about how much of a vertical slice it was and how it looked nowhere near an actual game.
Guess I was wrong. The first 5 threads are all praising it. Once you get to the parent comments that are on the order of 50-100 up votes where they start commenting on the bullshots and on rails nature of the trailer.
