In this week’s DF Direct Weekly, the Digital Foundry team spends much of the duration breaking down Microsoft’s Xbox Developer Direct – and to cut to the chase, we’re all agreed that this is the best games presentation we’ve seen from a major platform holder in years.
After years of complaining about how games were presented in practically every E3 media briefing, we’ve got exactly what we were asking for: a proper showcase on the games we’re set to play this year, passionately presented by the people who are making them.
Let’s be clear though: we get why E3 media briefings are the way they are and we don’t envy the likes of Microsoft, Sony or even Geoff Keighley in getting these shows together. Ultimately, they are a shop window for a vast range of games and getting some kind of representation – any kind, to be fair – within a typically tight 90 minutes is going to be challenging. And perhaps for a more casual audience, the presentation works – at least in highlighting awareness for certain games that may not receive coverage otherwise.
