Microsoft's content director explained what to expect from the upcoming presentation.



Matt Booty, head of content for Microsoft's gaming division, outlined the format of the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase in the official Xbox podcast here. According to him, the event will be entirely dedicated to games planned for the next 12 months — there will be no discussion of the company’s overall strategy or Project Helix.Among the already confirmed titles are Fable and Gears of War: E-Day. The latter will have a separate stream that will start immediately after the main show ends. Notably, the developers will explicitly indicate all release platforms — including competing ones. This caused dissatisfaction among part of the audience: blogger Klobrille pointed out that displaying logos of third-party platforms contradicts the declared course towards developing Xbox’s own ecosystem.
