Listen, I'm not into Apple (been there, done that), but their keynotes are top notch for explaining what they're doing. Imagine if they just showed videos of their products - it wouldn't be an Apple Keynote. Deep diving into how they make the products - to see and hear the ambitions from multiple developers, are what makes their keynotes the greatest "show off" in the business.
If the biggest players in gaming would do the same, we would actually know who to support - but it's all cinematics and a little gameplay - like hiding stuff is the key to success. Weird. Let's hear the developers, what they've been doing for the past 4 years and let them show off their games, instead of all the secrecy bullshit. Showing off a AAA game should take at least 20 minutes. Show us how they've made stuff and how much effort are put into the games.
I recognize a lot (most) 3rd parties doesn't have the capacity to do this - same goes for indies, but all 1st party studios should at least come out blazing and show us all the good stuff, right?
