Yesterday Microsoft held a 30-minute presentation Inside xbox. As part of it, third-party developers showed their games that will be optimized for the next generation console – Xbox Series X.
Microsoft said in advance that it will only show games from its own studios in July, but this did not save the company from a wave of criticism.
Aaron Greenberg Game Marketer recognizedthat they overstated the expectations of the players. He believes that the reaction would be different if Microsoft did not say anything and simply conducted Inside Xbox, as it did in April.
At the same time, Greenberg noted that the company appreciates any feedback, and assured the players that team members will learn from this error.
For example, almost all of the video was accompanied by the inscription “expected Xbox Series X gameplay”, that is, the expected gameplay, since the games and the console itself are under development.
Also, some players were unhappy with the premiere of gameplay. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. They expected full gameplay, although shortly before the start of the presentation they were warned about the opposite, but instead received only a short teaser.
As a result, the number of dislikes under the clip in North American YouTubechannel Ubisoft almost doubled the number of likes. On other English-language channels, the number of likes, like the record on Inside Xbox itself, exceeds the number of dislikes, but not by much.
