This isn't really relevant, but I want to save this tweet for the Xbox showcase.

"Having low expectations because you don't want to be disappointed is the coward's way out. Believe in something for once"

You can just screenshot it, paint over PlayStation, and replace it with Xbox when the time comes

Would be interesting to see if he says the same about Xbox showcase



 

I never have low expectations for any show, I have reasonable ones. But since this is "Phase 2" of PlayStation 5 then I'm assuming their line-up across the next few years will be announced/shown, so a lot of stuff. Even more reason for Xbox to dump the 12 months thing but this showcase has been brewing for 2 years so Xbox will have a tough time matching it in the overall general public sentiment.

Having said that, I think this Sony show could be an 8/10 but it has always been "insiders" who have overhyped every single showcase to crazy levels and then every single time people end up disappointed and then start shit talking the "insiders" so I'm not falling for that again, I'm expecting a great showcase but not because any "insiders" have told me to

FWIW Jez has said that he knows nothing about the Xbox showcase and lately he knows more things about PlayStation than Xbox (though maybe cause he leaked almost everything about Xbox, Lol) but he says Xbox has tightened things up and I hope it stays that way. I don't want leaks, more than Jez has already given, I don't want vague teasing for weeks on end, just let me breeze to the showcase whilst playing TotK.

As others have already said, it's gonna be third-party stuff that is the most interesting for me on PS Showcase. The games that I (hopefully) will play on Xbox. Or not and I'll have to buy a PS5 if they are really must play for me.

P.S. Jez knows everything about Xbox showcase. But Microsoft probably told him to keep his mouth shut this time for real

Nah, I don't think so. He even seems kind of disappointed by it, Lol. He was replying on Twitter that he knows more about PlayStation now than Xbox (before even the showcase) so it's not just the showcase but Xbox overall.

He has said before that he has no actual human sources inside of Microsoft and I think Xbox is pretty annoyed with him lately and the last years leaks so it makes sense for them to find the hole and clamp down on it.

Jez NEVER stops leaking, even when Microsoft was clearly annoyed with him, multiple times. He wouldn't not leak something because Xbox tells him not to. He literally says it's his job to leak stuff and important to his job, Lol.

When Obsidian did a small blacklist on him (I think they blocked him from streaming Pentiment and writing about it) for leaking stuff about it, he immediately bitched about them over on Twitter and riled his fanbase up, Lol.

He even said it, either this year or last year, when Rand asked him if he would leak something right before a showcase and Jez responded instantly "yes" because "it's his job" and "someone else will scoop him" he doesn't give a shit about what Microsoft wants or tells him to do, Lol.

And Xbox wouldn't dare blacklist him as a whole because he's a big Xbox personality so he can leak stuff but all they'll do is moan about it.

Man, if Phil announced at the showcase that Jez is officially blacklisted... 11/10. Hype!

They wouldn't dare.

But Bethesda definitely would, Lol.

Honestly surprised Obsidian did but it was a minor blacklist.
