The first week and a bit of June is full of game showcases and announcements to get fans hyped. Summer Games Fest had some fantastic highlights, with Resident Evil 9: Requiem and Lies of P: Overture shadow-dropping being two of several focal points. The June 8 Xbox Showcase, though, is on an entirely different level.
Despite Summer Games Fest having some of the most hyped-up announcements anyone could've expected, it was a slow burn to get to those points. There were plenty of trailers, but with the event spanning several hours, it took a while to get to them. Compare this to the Xbox Showcase's back-to-back trailers for massive titles like Persona 4 Revival, a new Call of Duty, and Grounded 2. It generated more hype in its first hour than SGF did in its entire runtime.
