Isn't this always the problem. Gamers become over expectant of ever game reveal. When I first read the headline and saw that MS wasn't showing any of their stuff, I instantly thought these must be cross gen titles MS is giving a platform to give them more air time. I really did not expect to see anything shattering during the release of any of these systems until a year or more after their release. Personally, I watch this show to see if there were anything I care about and there were a few i will be keeping an eye on. My main reason for getting a PS5 and a XSX is due to being able to use them for playing all the games I love at the highest setting and hopefully 4K 60FPS. Then again, I never get hyped for a new gen. I stopped doing that a long time ago. |
I think it was the marketing that caused a lot of deflated hype. Most people knew MS first party titles weren't going to be present at this show. However, most people probably expected some gameplay sequences, to give us a taste of the next generation. Instead, we get in - engine footage, passed off as gameplay. Another thing to consider is most expected a big third party reveal whereas we only got AC: Valhalla.
