I gotta admit. It was a good podcast for me ( at least it wasn't the disaster we were expecting in terms of doom and gloom and xbox 3rd party confirmed )
- They made it pretty clear the number of games and not opening s flood of games ( even though I m sure in time more games might apply, but would probably be the same formula . Old games or not very popular games in terms of sales. )
- The games are coming are not really super AAA games or way too old to even care.
- assurance of all games coming day one to Xbox game pass unlike the rumors suggested day one games will no longer be included
- assurance of a very powerful hardware in the works.

I like what was said

As someone who no longer has Xbox because he has high end gaming PC but I enjoy MS games,I found it a very good podcast

It doesn't make me ( if I ever had an Xbox library, to stop investing in the library). If anything, the play anywhere program between Xbox and PC and maybe soon a handheld is friggin amazing.

Is this a joke?
It would only leave a positive impact on gullible fools

edit: To me it was a clear corporate marketing bs. Thick, cold, soulless corporation. I know, I work in that kind of corporation. This felt like a job interview lol

 

[cireza]

If a video like this doesn't reassure you as an Xbox player, then nothing can.

Not that there was any doubt to begin with.

 

[I'm nobody]

Meh did nothing to me

All of that could of been done in a tweet

 

[Skelterz]

It was tone deaf, They make allusions to industry stagnation and wanting to grow the industry etc but I feel what’s actually happening here is there not as successful as they wish they were right now and they’ve spent a lot of money.

Let’s be honest they talk about the old model of buying games like it’s worn out but look at Nintendo and Sony they’re not suffering are they.

Maybe if they invested the type of money they used to buy game development studios on there own first party titles they wouldn’t be in this weird space where there calling exclusives bad for the industry.

And I’m 100% convinced once the money starts rolling in for those 4 games they will release bigger IP to other platforms Like Halo, Gears Etc.

 

[adamsapple]

As a game pass subscriber, it left me supremely excited. Can't wait for all the continued day 1 stuff.

 

[Bond007]

Just a bunch of corporate fluffing really.

 

[reinking]

Same shit. Phil talking out of both sides. "Only four games." A few sentences later he is talking about the number of exclusives being smaller and smaller. So, I took it as business as usual.

 

[Portugeezer]

If it's 4 shovelware games it literally changes nothing. But would be weird to have a business update podcast for just that and Phil being Phil never rules out anything.

This feels like Xbox applying lube on green rat buttholes.

I would argue to respect others opinions even if you don't agree with them.

As I mentioned, to me it was honestly a very good podcast in terms of assurance and sharing visions. At least way more than what other companies share with their customers anyway.

Fucking Bingo

 

[FoxMcChief]

Same shit, different day. MS will continue to bleed out.

Did you really think it was going to change prior to this podcast? I had no idea people really believe that.

 

[Sephimoth]

Negative because they took 23 mins to say what could have been a tweet over a week ago to stop the madness
Also, why was it interview format? They obviously made the questions for her to read out.

 

[adamsapple]

Did you really think it was going to change prior to this podcast? I had no idea people really believe that.

No, never thought they'd change that. But they have at least 15 more first party projects in development per Booty and they'll all be on the service day 1.

There is no respect. Microsoft is bad for the whole industry.
Respect is earned and microsoft didn't earn shit.

As for people loving xbox ad microsoft? At some point you gotta accept that you could be playing games on many different systems and not be made a fool.
People can love to eat shit but I can say that they indeed eat shit.

(lol sorry this came out more rude than I wanted )

 

[Urban]

- They made it pretty clear the number of games and not opening s flood of games

Who`s going to tell him

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

No effect really, but I did like hearing about their next gen plans and the continued backwards compatibility philosophy

 

[FoxMcChief]

As a game pass subscriber, it left me supremely excited. Can't wait for all the continued day 1 stuff.

I’m still thrilled my game pass will still give me day 1 releases. I just have to wonder for how long.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

They talk like their audience are cattle.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

This felt like a nothing event. Basically Sony and Nintendo will announce the titles at their own events.

 

[Saber]

Negative because Phil is a seeking attention clown that enjoys the spotlight more than actually being clear and transparent.

 

[adamsapple]

I’m still thrilled my game pass will still give me day 1 releases. I just have to wonder for how long.

I think at the minimum they won't be changing that policy for the duration of this generation. If any major changes will be made, it'll be at a new cut-off like a new generation.

 

[Adam_802]

Nothing really changed, it only left a negative impact on people who actually believed hilarious overblown rumors.

Respect your peers here. Wasn't talking about you respecting a company lol.

 

[Aion002]

They all looked so tense that annoyed me, then they said absolutely nothing new...

 

[LordCBH]

Negative. Why? So much PR doublespeak there. They legitimately refused to be honest about the situation lol

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

They made it pretty clear...

 

[CLW]

They are delaying the inevitable as a 3rd party publisher.

Phil went full on cuk mode today unsurprisingly caving to the backlash of shills he is paying for.

No one is going to buy these 4 small old games xbox will continue its dive into irrelevant 4th place and eventually MS fired Phil and sells off its asserts or just goes 3rd party

 

[Mr Hyde]

I thought it was a really weak attempt at addressing the rumors. They couldn't even say what games they were porting. All three basically said the same thing over and over, empty PR-speech and fluff as to not rile up the fanbase as to what will come, and to not make them abandon ship to early. It was clear they walked on egg shells, they were nervous to speak their minds and none of them seemed in tune with each other. They could have squashed it a week ago by putting their foot down and be clear and concise about what's going on. Instead they chose a weird middle road where we got more questions than answers.

 

[C2brixx]

Positive for me. Gamepass still day one with Activision games coming. Commitment to next gen hardware. That's all I really care about. Games coming to PC didn't bother me nor will games coming to other consoles.

 

[nani17]

It was one of the most dumbest pr decisions I've seen them make in awhile.

You basically said hey games will be on Game Pass day one which was a rumor that they were changing. So we have one confirmation the second confirmation was you are going to continue to make consoles however you completely dodged the question about Starfield and Indiana Jones. You also could have just made it a post.

 

[Nydius]

Neither. It was exactly what I expected. A whole lot of PR word salad, announcing they were moving some games multiplatform and covering their asses about doing more in the future.

It cracks me up seeing people acting like it’s nothing. Xbox porting games to rival platforms after years of talking up exclusivity is not “nothing”. It is, as many pointed out this last week, the beginning of the timed exclusive, third party slippery slope.

Spencer practically said as much as he squirmed in his chair and spun a web about not wanting to make any commitments either way and how he sees exclusives being less of a big deal in a few years.

If he had said that in 2022, or even early 2023, Xbox fans would have lost their shit. Now they’re acting like it’s all part of the plan.

 

[tommib]

Positive, since they’re releasing 2 really good games that I’ve been dying to play on PS5. Day 1 on Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush. It’s the kind of cool alternative games Sony isn’t interested in making anymore.

 

[freefornow]

The real question is how is Timdog?

 

[Skelterz]

No he’s right if you think this was a positive podcast your gullible, Once the money starts rolling in from those 4 games you watch them port more and more.

[ManaByte]

Remember when everyone thought the trillion dollar company was going the Sega route and it’d be announced on the podcast? Fun times. It was an hour ago.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Confirmed new hardware coming even this holiday?

ABK games coming to gamepass?

Pretty interested in their future

Remember when everyone thought the trillion dollar company was going the Sega route and it’d be announced on the podcast? Fun times. It was an hour ago.

Some of those people down bad

 

[Dr_Ifto]

It left me wondering if Phil is having a medical issue. Dude was bloated as hell.

 

[Mephisto40]

You would have to be a fool to spin any sort of positivity out of that video from an xbox standpoint, it was basically them saying they are lagging so far behind the competition that they've got no choice but to release on other platforms

 

[Little Chicken]

What Phil said about no exclusives/hardware agnosticism in 5 to 10 years resonated with me because I like to buy all platforms, so while I was happy that Xbox are doubling down on what they're doing now, I'm still waiting for a future without walled gardens.

The PR equivalent of “this meeting could have been an email”

 

[Edgelord79]

lol this was a big nothing burger.

 

[Mowcno]

It basically was exactly what I expected it would be and hasn't changed any of my thoughts at all. It's just confirmed them.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Meh. It's been so many times where a company leader talks to their community and assures them nothing is what it seems, only for that very thing to happen down the line.

 

[March Climber]

Too much vague wording in the answers and a very reserved demeanor from all 3 of them, especially Sarah Bond who just sounds so much like a walking advertisement that she must have been extremely PR trained.

I at least like that the interviewer asked hard hitting questions that the fans were bringing up.

I'm about at 50% certainty that Xbox Series X is going to be my last Xbox Console.

Right now I still see the immediate future as Sony, Steam Deck series, and Nintendo as being the new big 3, and the far future(as in 30+ years from now) as two giants left standing, Steam Deck series and Nintendo. I'm not sure what is going to make Sony buckle in the future, but it might eventually happen.

[Crayon]

I loved it every minute of it.

 

[cash_longfellow]

They talk like their audience are cattle.

Most are…do you see how many people on Gaf right now actually believe these 4 games are the only ones coming? It’s insane to me.

As a disclaimer, my main system is ps5, but I play on Steam frequently and have several MS games there…inb4 people try to claim I’m a “fanboy”.
