Hello everybody!

However, it’s often fun to fan these flames and willingly explore your most ridiculous dreams and predictions.
Yeah, these are all pretty unlikely, but a person can hope, right?
“None of our first party games in the show are full CG trailers.
Everything is either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or in-game footage with some cinematics,” Greenberg wrote.
“Each of our trailers will be labeled so it is hopefully clear for our fans.”
This has us even more excited for the Xbox Games Showcase than we already were.

Space awaits.
Bring on the gameplay!
