Why? Probably one of these TOXIC videos





Please keep this thread civil and don't post anything that might cause Phillip to block you too

How can we stamp out toxic behaviour like davidjaffe has displayed to good guy Phil? Or did Phil go too far blocking David?

Phil Spencer you mean?

I was not aware the real David Jaffe was a gaffer... such a legend.

Jaffe created God of War, so obviously Phil is in the wrong here

Off topic, I have read that Rygar: The Legendary Adventure (Argus no Senshi) had quite an influence on the design/theme of GOW(PS2).

 

[godhandiscen]

This was amazing.

 

[kikii]

gamepass is good idea but what if u dont have a time to play games? u d/l one and have to go to work or so and boom then it was moved from gp and asks monies to buy that game

Big fan of yours, Jaffe.
I don't agree with a lot of what you say, but I enjoy hearing it anyways.

 

[Spukc]

Why did he talk smack about xbox?
God of war 2 was my favorite OG xbox game

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Uncle Phil, nooooooooooooooooo!!


Someone start a Change.org petition to get Uncle Phil to unblock David Jacky here.

 

[Rolla]

David Jaffe has always been complimentary of XBOX as a platform so this is a strange turn of events.

 

[TheFarter]

Something stinks.

This is such a bad look for Phil Spencer. The guy must be under an insane amount of pressure right now considering the Series X launch. Game droughts to start a new generation can't be making his bosses happy.

I can see him moving to a different role after the current spree of acquisition deals is finalized. He definitely doesn't know how to assemble studios; just look at 343i.

 

[Tesseract]

build back better

 

[davidjaffe]

Look kids, a fallen star.

I don't actually think it's the joke.
I think it's 'Look kids, a FALLING star'.
Doesn't work as when it's 'FALLEN'.

If there was a thread on here about YOU are you telling me you would not read it?!?

 

[Jerm411]

Phil blocks Jaffe but openly pals around with Dealer, Timdog, etc.

Checks out....

Who's idea was it to have the GoW rude scenes and how did you think of them?

 

[ABnormal]

GoW 2 has been done by Cory Barlog.

 

[NeededSleep]

Twisted metal 2 > everything else.

You won't BELIEVE reason number 8 why Phil Spencer blocked him! Watch the video to find out!

Yep but this is still classic lol

Turn 10 and Playground seemed to develop well under him. 343i does seem to be a massive blunder though.

The important thing is we are both old enough to know where it was stolen from.

Love ya Mr. Jaffe.

Dave really can be an asshole, but he has some major points. They did the same thing last generation. Sure having Kinect was dumb, but the only thing more stupid is not having a game to sell Kinect when its adding $100 more to your console cost.

They designed the series X years ago. How fucking hard is it to say hey, we need games to really show off what this thing can do when it releases. It's great they want to give Studios freedom to be creative. But they need that role player who can make a good game that looks great and deliver it when it's needed.

That's said I don't think missing the launch is a deal-breaker. Right now there's enough momentum to carry these consoles through the holiday regardless of what's on them. But they sure need something leading into next summer and the holidays.

 

[-Arcadia-]

A true Gaffer, causing triggerings in the weak.

 

[Rolla]

Phil is in the right. Toxic people should just be ignored.

There's nothing to be gained by giving the spotlight to a person that can't make a criticism without using "shit" and "fuck" all the time.
Sounds like an edgy teenager talking

[JORMBO]

I think they got caught off guard when they were expecting us to be amazed by the new Halo and all they ended up getting was about 8000 Craig memes.

OMG THIS.

 

[Cato]

Hey davidjaffe
I still play these to this day. Two of the best games ever for the best console ever.

I think I will in fact start a new replay of them this coming weekend.

Some real pearl clutching going on here.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I think we don't know the full picture here.

I mean, a ton of people criticise xbox. Does Phil search for them and block them all?

 

[Punished Miku]

Look kids, a fallen star.

Look kids, it's .... E Enjay .

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

He really blocked you for making a negative Xbox video?

The guy is friends with fucking timdog...the biggest console warrior that ever lived. Jaffe has even praised Xbox.

I really don't understand this at all lol.

 

[Cato]

David created God Of War.
Phil allowed Craig to happen under his watch.

Easy to pick whom to trust here.

Did they need first party launch games to show off the console? It sold out within hours. You can't walk in to a shop and buy the console, and you won't be able to until some time early next year. That to me says they didn't need to, at all.

 

[godhandiscen]

Turn 10 and Playground seemed to develop well under him. 343i does seem to be a massive blunder though.

Turn 10 was stablished in 2001. Playground games is an offshoot of Turn 10. The culture of those studios was there way before Phill Spencer.

Also, I watched the first video linked in the OP regarding the Xbox not having new software for launch. I firmly believe that Microsoft has a culture that is at odds with the identity and expectations we have for console makers. Someone who's been successful inside Microsoft is probably convinced that launching without new games is not a big deal as long as the service, Gamepass, continues being excellent.

Sony probably sees the PS5 as new hardware to empower designers in the never ending quest for AAA profits. Meanwhile, Microsoft sees the Xbox as just another channel for delivering Gamepass, the service that will ultimately allow them to capture the attention of billions of people, 10+ hours a day. Even in their PR, they show themselves more bullish about the XSS. If Microsoft didn't need to sell you a new piece of hardware to keep Gamepass subscriptions going, they probably would just cancel the Xbox.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Playground games is an offshoot of Turn 10.

No they're not lol. They were an independent studio formed by people that had nothing to do with Turn 10.

 

[godhandiscen]

No they're not lol. They were an independent studio formed by people that had nothing to do with Turn 10.

You are right, they just collaborated with Turn 10 initially. It is still not a studio that Microsoft assembled under the tenure of Phill Spencer.

 

[Atrus]

Well Jaffe is right. If you're in charge of a bajillion dollar company and just flubbed the launch game of what is ostensibly your most famous franchise, then you might want to spend some of that acquisition money acquiring project managers and other insiders at Sony to see where you can improve.

How do the Sony teams interact with each other and share information or technology?
How do they approach project management?

Nobody loses if Microsoft is able to regularly fill their release schedule with quality first party titles like Sony does. It helps Gamepass and helps gaming in general.
