These shows are meant to be gameplay showcases, not cinematic presentations. Now, I know this is completely one mans opinion, but I dont understand the point of cinematic trailers to begin with. At best they are a small indication of the story of the game, at worst theyre just false representations of the same.
The show ended with a 1 to 6 ratio for gameplay-to-CGI-footage time and yes I did count; approximately 10 minutes of gameplay among the full 60 minute show duration, most of which came from Halo Infinite. I also dont think this problem is exclusive to Microsoft I spent almost all of E3 last year wondering whether it was really worth the time investment if I just had to sit through cinematic trailers at all conferences except Devolver Digitals.”
