time flies man.... what a shit show that was back then.Remember when people insisted Nintendo adopting these formats meant they were giving up?
I remember.
I feel 90minutes is just too long
Know what, while I think the Xbox presentation could use some tightening up, I still have to commend MS for showing more gameplay and games tat release relatively soon. Those are clear improvement over last time.
Yeah I agree it's a better way to show games if they're coming relatively soon... like 12 months. And showing gameplay it's a HUGE improvement, compared to the old conferences that bored me to death. Although I believe many of the "2023" games with no "spring, summer" are intended for the fall and winter of that year and not technically 12 months (until June 2023), but I can understand this.What I loved about the MS show yesterday was that it was clearly angled to show you all the stuff you're going to get right up until the next conference.
There was a lot of disappointment that previously announced titles were not covered but I'm pretty matter of fact - beyond 12 months out, I'm not interesting in hearing about your game. I don't want to hear about Xmas 2023's Hellblade, or 2024's Avowed. There's no point. I don't year after year of little slices. Show me it, tell me I'm getting it soon, or stay away.
I'd argue that the show didn't feel as punchy and varied as Nintendo's shows and it would probably suit them better to get this big show broken up and start talking 6 month timeframes rather than 12.
But that is seemingly two now who are more concerned around talking about what you will get and soon, not slapping some distant dopamine hit in your face.
Looks like it'll take people some time to adjust. Hell, it took E3 dying for people to twig that Nintendo don't just fire everything out that they're going to do in that one show. But it is a positive shift for the industry. We see how much of a millstone the BOTW2 and Metroid Prime 4 announces have been.
