Essentially this. Solid May Nintendo Direct/Inside Xbox level event but a bad showcase first "first look at Xbox Series X gameplay".
Not only was there a lack of gameplay to dig into (no playthroughs), most of the titles looked AA. I mean it was nice to give some attention to more left field devs but this was only really balanced (Showcase wise) by AC. A few things like scorn grabbed me but no gameplay... For sure there are bigger third party games coming to Xbox in the next 12 months? Given the whole 20/20 thing its clear we'll get another showcase in august (June services/July 1st party) but I feel like they should have started with their best foot first (either 1st party of an E3 level 3rd party showcase).
