Who knows how early these CG trailer games are, and when we'll be playing them? It's difficult to get as excited as we used to.įable is the particularly egregious one, for my money. In 2020, game development can take five, six, seven years - more.

#Fable 2 pc trailer series
A classic 360-era Xbox series made its return in Fable - but none of this lands as heavily as it should because at this stage none of these feel like real, tangible video games.īack in the PS2 era when games had 18-month development cycles, early CG trailers made more sense. Then there were the first-party offerings, including exciting new announcements like Obsidian's Avowed and a further glimpse at Rare's Everwild. You had a strong third-party showing, if still weak in games out of Asia. Like I said before, on paper this was a better event. The Xbox Series X launch looms, but there were no real examples the sort of games that'd demonstrate plainly why you'd want to be an early adopter of the machine. The ones that felt like real, playable video games looked like and indeed are things that are playable on your Xbox One, or on a decently capable gaming PC without splashing out on a mega-powerful GPU. This was the story of the event, at least for Xbox's exclusive first-party games. It runs at 4K and 60fps, which is great, but it ultimately looks like a current-generation game with the resolution turned up. It's optimized for Xbox Series X, but ray tracing won't be in at launch. Halo Infinite is of course launching alongside the Xbox Series X, but the showcase made clear that it's not the next-gen powerhouse you're looking for.

Sure, the Microsoft event may very well have had more games, but it lacked something utterly crucial: tangible, real, next-generation showstoppers. On paper, last night's Xbox next generation showcase was better than Sony's equivalent event - but online perception and reaction has been more negative.
