Xbox Drops A NEW Showcase - Did It Deliver?! | Defining Duke, Episode 147

In an unexpected move from Xbox, they've put together yet another showcase format. This time, it arrives in the form of "Xbox Partner Preview" which the Dukes agreed felt more like a business transaction than a show with big announcements. Expectations were tempered, yet Xbox didn't even bring Game Pass announcements to the show. Even if games like Yakuza, Alan Wake 2, and MGS 3 Remake look quality, the show left us asking why it even existed. So, we gather to answer those very questions. Meanwhile, the Xbox band is on tour and visiting all of the newly acquired teams in the ABK merger. With quarterly earnings and expectations in the mix, it appears that Xbox anticipates their newest family member to have an immediate and massive impact. Plus more on Starfield's impact to Game Pass, Xbox's continued decline in console sales, Fallout TV show expectations, Spider-Man 2 impressions, and so much more!

I look forward to listening to the Starfield spoilercast once I complete the game, which will take a few more months lol.

I thought the Xbox Partner Preview was solid for a debut show and I like the idea of having a show dedicated to just third party partners while Developer Direct is dedicated to first party studios while the Games Showcase, Gamescom, Tokyo Games Show is both. I think this is a perfect setup. I love the Extended Showcase two days after the Xbox Games Showcase because they go in-depth with games that they're not going to spend 10 minutes on two days earlier. I'm loving that Microsoft is finally having more showcases because that tells me, they have some good marketing deals, third parties are finally jumping on board and most of all, the first party studios are ready to show off their games.
