General Manager of Xbox Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg has addressed the response to May's Inside Xbox 20/20 stream, noting that the team "set some wrong expectations" about the presentation.
Greenberg's response followed negative feedback from fans about yesterday's presentation, which promised "next-gen gameplay" in the lead-up to the show. In particular, Assassin's Creed Valhalla's showing failed to deliver what many may have expected from a "gameplay trailer," instead offering some scattered footage of Viking raids and battles, without a HUD in sight.
"Had we not said anything & just shown May's Inside Xbox show like we did last month, I suspect reactions might have been different," Greenberg tweeted last night. "Clearly we set some wrong expectations & that's on us... we appreciate the feedback & can assure you we will take it all in & learn as a team."
Yeah... for something that calls itself a "gameplay trailer", there sure doesn't seem to be any gameplay in there . I've never played this franchise; however, I've played enough games to know what gameplay footage looks like .
Okay, the visuals were impressive; however, that doesn't matter if it's not what the fans were led to expect...
