Xbox: “Check out our upcoming showcase of these 4 games”

The internet: “I wonder what new and surprise announcements will be revealed at the show”

Xbox: “Our showcase is to highlight these 4 games”

The internet: “xbox now downplaying expectations”

Good post.

I would change "the internet" with "Xbox insiders". They do it to themselves, they overhype things, then make long podcasts or YT videos when it misses the mark. A cycle of negativity.

I'm satisfied to see a deeper look into Redfall and Forza. I don't care for Minecraft Legends or Elder Scrolls online and thats fine. I don't need to hope for any additional surprise announcements then be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

You should be aiming that sarcasm at X-Bot "insider" extraordinaire Jez Corden who was the one talking about "other games" at the event.

I think this is the most frustrating thing about this cycle the last couple of times. The hype has come from people who are, ostensibly, getting their info from sources inside Microsoft. Folks like that need to get all the smoke, because they're essentially just taking advantage of how the original announcement press release was worded in a way where someone could think there would be something other than those four games, while also only mentioning four games by name.

Pretty scummy, considering the XBox fanbase is definitely ready for some news.

They might as well begin accompanying these announcements with Kickstarters & We Are The World playing in the background.
