I don't know if some of these won't get their own individual Developer Direct though. Plus we're obviously going to have more stuff announced which release near those so they can be slotted into it as well, things that are rumoured and things that we don't know about. 2023 is just the start. When all these studios get on a consistent release cycle, we may have a DD with about 4-5 titles per one and deep dives into their gameplay, MS has so much announced but so little gameplay in comparison, now we may actually start getting a more even split. We have no gameplay for Project Mara, Contraband, Avowed, Perfect Dark, Fable, SoD 3, The Outer Worlds 2, Everwild, Kojima's IP, Indiana Jones, TES VI. |
Not responding to the whole thread cause that's a lot of text and I want to make my reply short.
But I respectectfully disagree about the Dev. Direct not being good for the "audience" Microsoft should be looking at (paraphrasing here to sumarize).
I think the format is actually way better and will attract/interest more people. Saying that Sony/Nintendo are not in the same boat is not true; cause they are... And let's be honest; all 2022 events from Sony were bad overall (minus maybe one of the them and even then it was not praised as being amazing or anything).
The Series console are selling really well; I mean you have to realize from where they are coming from with the Xbox One vs PlayStation 4; they are franckly killing it this generation and are really back in the game; And at least Microsoft is trying to do something different with those events. And I stated that before; I think it is great. Developers showing their games without some bulshit PR is actually a way to catter those "non" hardcore players cause because it will be different.
And... At the end it does not matter, what you are going to show. The majority of people that will watch it ARE those hardcore gamers... So you need to make it the best possible for them...
So yah; I agree with you :)
