I'm excited for this thing, but this ain't true even the slightest, breh.
I think the difference here is that for the PS5 event, people just wanted to see ANYTHING. I mean, Sony had people going nuts just off of the logo.
For this though, people are legitimately excited, but it's tempered with people saying "these games better be good, though". Basically, they're already going in with some healthy cynicism.
I want this show to be good, and really hope that it is, but I can also realize that they're not working with a ton of margin for error here.
