Horizon FW was in engine and I don’t recall much backlash as say Forza is getting. I didn’t need to see gameplay of Avowed to be blown away...because Obsidian is a master at their craft. Fable and Hellblade 2 gameplay would have been nice, but we know Hellblade 1 was awesome and Fable will at the very least have the charm of its legacy games. It’s almost like people just buying themselves time to hate on Xbox, because these are all games that have a high chance to actually deliver once released. |
You're not wrong, I called out the MP4 logo being a "megaton" as BS when it happened, and people argued that it would launch the next year when all they had to show was a logo, not even a CGI trailer.
I still remember Rol saying - "You think Nintendo are so desperate they would show 2019 games?" and look where we are now. People saw just a logo that could be knocked up in a day but expected Nintendo to deliver.
There wasn't that much gameplay footage in the Xbox event, but personally I'm not overly bothered by that.
