Grubb: Don’t expect MS to show everything. They will also hold some things back for later this year
- Thread starter jbug617

Pikmin 4 was the friends we made along the way
(Also, I'm started to tire of this endless hype cycle. E3 was good for getting it all out the way in one go. This is somewhat exhausting.)
"We haven't shown you everything. We still got game announcements and reveals coming soon"
"We also haven't shown our full hand. We still got surprises in the bag"
"Your consoles are launching tomorrow and you still haven't told us the price!"

Obviously not, but in this case the newsworthy part is that they would hold stuff back for later THIS YEAR.
Sony and Microsoft would never be dumb enough to just clear the cupboards and announce everything they are planning to release over the next three years. Would make for "the best show ever", followed by several years of bad shows with no new announcements, haha.
LOL but seriously though. This prolonged reveal isn't like a major problem or anything but it would be nice to at least have the price.
I wonder if they're going to double down on showcasing 2020 releases, and leave the announcements of bigger 2021 games for post launch. Focus on what's playable this year, countering Sony's more forward-looking showcase.
This is the real news. All of you who said "it's a global pandemic" looking real foolish right now.
/s
I wouldn't worry to much about them holding some stuff back, I'd still very much expect all the big big announcements to be on this show.
They know the whole industry will be watching.

Hah. Tweet made me laugh on the Nintendo point. Should settle the guys in the Nintendo Direct thread... ;-)
Show Halo, Everwild, Hellblade 2, Obsidian RPG and Fable.
Save Project Mara and The Initiative game, that would be the smartest choice IMO.

Damn this year is going to be a stream of disappointing events that only going to look good when we have the full year picture, right?
It's been quite a change within XGS where they have to do a big reveal for their new console and can still hold stuff back for later, huh
The PS5 reveal wasn't disappointing, though

Yes this constant wait for new info sucks. If they want to hold the price fine but jeez just get a reveal with them playing some games so we can see the damn things in action.
I like this war of attrition, they both know stakes are high.
That being said, the lack of a proper, full-blown next-gen event does put a significant damper on my excitement. Like, I'm nowhere near as excited for the upcoming gen as I was for this current one.
At E3 2013, I was at peak hype. I hope when both companies announce pre-orders, that it feels like their most significant news drop. That's the moment where I want them to blow me away.

I fully expect people in both of these threads to react equally to the news relating to each console maker.
Makes sense for both companies. They want a steady stream of news and reveals leading up to the launch of the console.
User Warned - Platform Warring
so basically halo/gears/forza and a bunch of other games that'll also be on PS5?
are we gonna get a deep dive on a funko pop halo game?

Of course, it has the potential to backfire fairly spectacularly when both get to launch and every presentation they've made has been fairly underwhelming, and they're then expecting people to drop 500-600 on a console as COVID fucks the economy.
If you consider an event with Spider Man, GT7, Demons Souls, Horizon 2, Ratchet & Clank plus other 4 exclusive new IPs and 3P games as something disappointing then yes.
The fact that there are literally zero Nintendo games announced to release for August and beyond lol. They'll come, for sure, but Nintendo is being absolutely bizarre
In 2016*
They announced Spider-Man, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Detroit, Death Stranding, God of War and TLOU 2 in the same year.
I feel like this and what was said about Sony goes without saying? Platform holders have been spreading out announcement over multiple events since the advent of these conferences.
For launch expectations I'd say it's been disappointing, yes. I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be hyped for outside of the spin off Spider Man in 2020.
I thought I'd be sold by the end of the PS5 event. And I might be, at some point in the future but not necessarily in this year.
I can see them announcing all their first party games they plan on releasing in first year at the event in two weeks and whatever event they have later in the year will show off stuff that's farther out.
I assume it was the same for Sony with the first party games they shown at their own things a couple weeks back.
