A Way Out Developer Almost Signed with Microsoft

Josef Fares had very positive things to say about Microsoft and Xbox head Phil Spencer.

Gazondaily2934d ago

Interesting comments from Josef Fares. Its obvious Spencer cares about gaming and is passionate. That's why I laugh at all those that call the head of Xbox as nothing more than a PR mouthpiece. He just needs to start really delivering on the exclusive front for the Xbox- the one area that its really lacking

no need to laugh at people ... they disagree with you ... you disagree with them ...have a laugh together and live happily ever after we all want better games.

Gazondaily2934d ago

Well not literally laugh at them lol (sounds more aggressive than I intended) but you know...just find their sentiments a bit silly. But it's just banter in the end- each to their own.

zaherdab2934d ago

yea true .. people tend to get more emotional and go into a whole my console is better than urs arguments when each platform has its ups and downs ....

Razmiran2934d ago

Would you say the same about Aaron Greenberg?

yomfweeee2934d ago (Edited 2934d ago )

You can laugh all you want. But what is laughable is the games record under Spencer.

So people can say all they want about Spencer, but it is just talk. Just like Spencer does, all talk.

No results.

The fact that this guy signed with EA over MS? What does that tell you?

RamRod882934d ago

Did you watch the video? He says exactly why he choose EA over MS and it has nothing to do with MS in a negative way.

Kostche2934d ago

yeh, he cares, look at all the games he is showing.... OH WAIT

generic-user-name2934d ago

The same Spencer that says he'd never keep content away from gamers, referring to Sony and Destiny's deal for minor exclusive gear, meanwhile he pays to keep an entire game away from gamers (rotr). Yeah he's great.

Edito2933d ago

Where are the games he care about? In developers recycle bin that's how much he cares.

zypher2933d ago (Edited 2933d ago )

Maybe that's why people call him a PR mouthpiece? Because he speaks with all this passion about gaming, yet consistently comes up short when it comes to delivering games?

It's almost maddening. The Xbox One X is the most technically accomplished system ever made (for now anyway), yet there hasn't been a game worth buying one for since Forza Horizon 3.

will someone please give phil some games

jznrpg2934d ago

He needs ideas for games and ppl that can execute. They have studios just no good ideas that succeed

yomfweeee2934d ago

It is Spencer's job to find those creators. No one is going to give him anything.

SuperSaiyanGod412934d ago

You're statement is true but I'm sure behind it there is higher ups that call the shots which Phil Spencer has no control over. I'm sure it's the same with every other pr in a huge corporation. Alot of them are gamers at heart but the head boss always has the last saying.

Pancit_Canton2934d ago

Josef Fares: F*** IGN, Microsoft and Phil Spencer. I'm signing with EA.

RpgSama2934d ago

You know MS is in a bad place when people choose EA over you

coolbeans2934d ago

Couldn't even bother to watch the video?

30fps sucks. Especially on an OLED.
