Issue is once the vaccine is here does not mean its safe time yet as noted in other threads some should wait to see any adverse reactions. Then their is the matter if a huge portion of the population refuses to vaccinate then the vaccine becomes useless as we create a super virus.
I'm anticipating Game Pass related information for Christmas and/or 2021. Last year, I thought Microsoft knocked it out the park with the console reveal and Senua's Saga. I must have watched the Hellblade trailer a dozen times that night. Really interested to see what XGS has for 2021 because I think it will be a relatively quiet year before their first-party goes crazy in 2022+.
Haha, wow. One of the biggest reveals in TGA history and it's ''not exciting''
If a new video game console is not exciting.. then what is?
I feel like that tells me nothing. There's a big gulf between a regular game announcement, and being the first to formally unveil the next generation of consoles.
I mean, it just takes a bit of critical thinking here lol. He's saying to dial expectations down, that's the message. Hopefully grown adults don't need to be spoon fed literal messaging like "so last year was a console announcement, this year is two games" to remain civil.
Point is, keep expectations low and you'll only leave happily surprised.
lol this is like when nintendo announced that indie direct and we had a megathread on botw 2 possibly getting news
They didn't do a live demo and teardown of the console on stage so...yeah, not exciting.
It will more than likely be Game Pass related, with some long-awaited additions. I'm expecting something on the level of when Yakuza or NieR or the older FF games were introduced to the Xbox platform.
I mean, yeah… an industry wide awards show is no place for news of an acquisition flex.

I always get my expectations up for reveal events like this and then get disappointed because my tastes don't match what these events are for. I'm already assuming that the reason why they have a singer from Atlus is because they were planning on announcing the P5S release date at this thing (which is a non-announcement now due to the leak) and not for anything actually exciting like a Persona 6 announcement or a big gameplay trailer for SMT5 or Re:Fantasy.
What is see is basically one or two major announcements (one of those being Blinx remake) and some minor gamepass announcements.
Don't know why they drop new stuff ahead of the VGA's just to not show up at the VGA's. Crazy but they are all over the place.
We already knew it was coming though. If they'd had proper details or shown something playable it would have been exciting.
This is the head of marketing for Xbox though. Obviously he thinks that revealing a new console is the biggest possible announcement they could make.
No, we definitely didn't lol. That reveal came out of nowhere. Same with Hellblade 2, and that trailer was jaw-dropping.
I'm happy that I can still get excited for stuff that's not a live demo or a teardown. Lol.
When your last TGA announcement was literally unveiling a console, I feel like saying this is the equivalent of saying "temper your expectations, I wouldn't expect anything like us buying Zenimax."
It would be kinda sick if some big dev gets an award and MS comes out like the NWO and spraypaints them to announce an acquisition.
All i know is, after the major halo Delay, xbox needs at least one major title for the first half of next year. Odds are there probably wont be, but as someone who owns both consoles, and plays both regulalrly, im less excited about my xbox in the forseeable future than i am my ps5
Trailer of Master Chief fighting Samus in Fortnite transitions to Master Chief fighting Samus in Smash
What do you mean by we already knew? We didn't know the name of the console or what it looked like. We didn't know Hellblade 2 was in development. Both of those announcements essentially came from out of nowhere.
I hope it came across that I was being sarcastic. The Series X reveal was probably the biggest moment of the entire show last year. I find it crazy that some look back on it as if it were barely a blip on the radar.
It isn't MS fault. They are stuck in a bad place. Geoff is doing an amazing job at hyping up the event. Then there are the actual presenters for the awards. Some of those celebrities are big time. That is leading people to believe there are some huge announcements in store for the show. Also, Geoff announced between 12-15 reveals.
MS is a stakeholder in this award show. They know what they are bringing to the table. Their marketing department should also be aware of Geoff hyping this event to the high moon. Geoff always overhypes. Greenberg's tweet is either setting expectations low, so they can be exceeded. Or his department was caught with their pants down at how big this event will be, and are now doing early DC.
We shall see. The stakes have definitely been raised.
I mean, if MS is saying don't get your hopes up, I think it would be wise not to get your hopes up.
Danny Pena often seems like a tool. Like he's some insider, but he's often just reaffirming what other people are saying (or dying on the hill of Parris against Schreier)
Yes but I wouldn't consider it a "big" one. If this year's is less than showing the logo of a system everyone knew was coming and no gameplay...
The Game Awards are always over-hyped to begin with, so unless he's doing reverse psychology, it sounds like MS won't be bringing much to the show. Pretty disappointing how slowly MS' first party is coming along. It's crazy that none of Bethesda's studios would have something at least in a teaser-quality state. Xbox could really use a Death Stranding type aspirational game right now, especially with the Halo double-delay.
This would be a really good time for Stadia first party to enter the scene. Between the scarcity of next-gen consoles, and the quiet next-gen launch window, Google could have a relatively open field to win some converts.

Wow what a terrible take. Danny's a legend and a great voice in this industry. Good lord
