Last
Thursday, July 23rd, Microsoft held their Official Xbox
Showcase 2020. They hinted at a second one later this year, but we'll
see.
To start
off, if you caught their E3 showcases for the last couple of years,
you know what to expect, only this was smaller. In a way it's better like
this, as I got pretty overwhelmed by their E3 presentations as
they were so incredibly long. My brain got crammed so full it was
hard to remember even half of what they showed.
This was
one hour and just as stylish as before. Sadly, most trailers were
just that, slick presentations with little actual gameplay. Then
again they were gorgeous trailers, no doubt about that. Many of these
games are still very far away, so all they have are teasers at this
point but it is nice to know what is coming.
I'm not
going to list the games shown, but I'm optimistic about the general
output, even though there were many that are straight up not for me,
like racing games. I urge you to take an hour and give it a look. If
you don't care about Halo you can skip the first 10-12 minutes.
It is also
worth pointing out that although they keep going on about how amazing
their upcoming new Xbox is, all these games will also be available on
PC.
My biggest
take away is that beyond a few sequels for very popular titles, many
studios seem to be thinking outside the proverbial box.
But enough
rambling from me, I'll leave you to it but join me again next time
for more Eccentric Spheres. Until then have a great week and stay
safe!
