They chose to show Hellbalde because it's pretty much the best looking game they have right now, as most of the new Xbox studios are either early in development or about to release their last games on the Xbox One. It doesn't mean anything in terms of the direction the Xbox games are going to follow next gen, the same way Ryse didn't mean anything when they pick it as the graphical showcase for the Xbox One.

This is a paragraph of complete guesses. None of this is known.

So despite seeing no gameplay whatsoever, and not knowing how it plays or looks you're already sold? Lol wow.
You're a marketer's dream. Let's see what MS (and Sony) have to offer with gameplay and range of games before jumping in.

This is the truth.. I loved the first Hellblade for what it was but if they want to turn it into a system seller they need to make big changes and turn it into a top tier AAA game.

Scalebound was a system seller for Xbox in my eyes but it's a shame that they cancelled that game.

For PS5 games is the same deal.. we have not seen real gameplay yet so no one should be so confident about getting a PS5 until wee see some real games running on the console.

If the jump from PS4 to the PS5 for example is barely native 4k+30 fps with some RT features I won't be buying the console at launch.

Maybe I am misunderstanding but isnt the point of OP's post to say rather than the game itself, the fact that Microsoft have showed it first and put such a resource into it shows that the mentality of XBOX and Phil is changing and shows commitment to 3rd person action adventures and not just the usual typical xbox system sellers. I can respect this point, although for me its not enough to justify a 500 dollar (probably) purchase without knowing the full depth of an ecosystem and the types of games they will deliver

What if this game turns out to be highly mediocre?

But gooder grafix means better game, right? There's never ever EVER been a mediocre game that had gooder graphics, amirite?

That's why I just can't give a crap until I see honest to goodness gameplay. All these "trailer rendered in game" tagline doesn't mean squat.

It doesn't look like my kinda thing, the trailer with the heavy music would've been something 16 year old me would've thought was cool.

It doesn't seem like my type of game, but I'm willing to give it a chance for $5 on PC gamepass.

Is that the only Sony exclusive you expect to want to play?

Who that's excited for this is actually saying "LoOk GudDeR GrAfIx"? Op certainly didn't. Op based their excitement on the prior game.

I bought an Xbox One in 2014 for Halo and a switch in 2017 for Mario Oddysey.

yeah I really wanted to play Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, Mario + Rabbids, and the eventual Smash brothers, but I wasn't going to miss out on Mario and Halo at launch.

I was just reinforcing the member I quoted when he asked what happens if the games turns out to be mediocre. A lot of people do base the quality of a game off its graphics which is asinine. Just stereotyping the same graphics arguments that's been around since NES vs SMS.
