I didn’t expect much, and that’s the point. Gonna go full fan here.
Every time I watch E3 and I see a multiplat, I cringe because out of the hour and half, I basically think to myself “Well shit that’s 10 minutes less in the show they can dedicate to showing something 1st party”. Doesn’t matter what the game is and how interesting it looks. I know it’s also on PlayStation.
What this did do is fire the first shot. Xbox showed these games on their terms where as Sony still shy about any roadmap to showing anything. When people talk about them, they will refer to the Xbox digital showing.
This being a false attack, Sony’s eventual showing in June will be better no question. But they will likely show multiplats alongside exclusives, and I’ll smile each time that happens. Because MS got their 3rd party fluff all ready out of the way.
And when July comes, the 1st party showcase will happen, where there will be no fluff and everything I see caters to me. Your move Sony.
Edit: The Medium, Scorn, Call of Sea and The Ascent all Xbox/PC. And this isn’t even the first party showing. Nice.
