Support NeoGAF

[robotrock]

I always cry when Phil does the thank you bit

 

[Teddified]

awww <3

 

[wesleyshark]

Seems? Everyone agrees it's a stupid statement.

Unfortunately there's a defense force

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Wow Phil if you love Giant Bomb so much why don't you marry it.

 

[Resident_UA]

It was an insult.

It wasn't. Phil knows Sony was just making up an excuse. He's not an idiot

 

[LiK]

sounds like he took Playstation guy's excuse quite personal

Sony's response was pretty insulting, tbh

 

[SteveO409]

Phil, the hero we don't deserve /tears

 

[7he Talon]

This is cute.

 

[Death Metalist]

Phil is a duder.

 

[Subterranean]

Really enjoyed that. Phil is a class act.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

For all the kind of iffy decisions Microsoft has made over PC gaming, watching Jeff and Phil just talk shop will never not get old.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Phil is easily the best video game exec in the business.

 

[Dynomutt]

Yep. I'm really surprised someone higher up hasn't had Jim Ryan stuffed in a closet somewhere where he can't keep making foolish comments to media. Seems like every time I've seen his name in the last 18-24 months it has been him saying something really stupid.

On paper he probably does his job well. You would be surprised how little common sense tech support has as an example!

 

[t hicks]

That was a great interview, one of my favs every year

 

[Crooked16th]

sounds like he took Playstation guy's excuse quite personal

It was damaging to the Minecraft brand for no reason Microsoft should have a problem with it.

 

[Giger Pilot]

I missed the first half of this interview, but did they touch upon any of that "exclusive" talk?

judging by jeffs reaction to that stuff during the press conference, I don't think he really cares about it.

 

[Hurt and Scared]

Jeff is rocking a sharp shirt

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Phil just comes off as the most down to earth dude in the world

I'm gonna buy an Xbox One X for that very reason!

How much are they?

 

[Bsigg12]

Always a fantastic interview with Phil from Jeff.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Class act &#128076;

 

[charpunk]

That was fantastic.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Great interview, Phil is always insightful without getting too much into the PR stuff.

 

[Ullus]

Good shit, Jeff.

 

[pmunk]

Jeff Gerstmann is very good at his job.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

People overlook this fact. Sony used to be all friendly and open until they crushed the competition. No need for that anymore. Xbox was the exact opposite until they got crushed.

They were so friendly and open that they removed backwards compatibility and otherOS from the PS3 when it was behind in the US. You're right though it's pretty easy to forget that.

 

[gamz]

That was a fantastic interview!

Great questions, honest answers.

 

[chrominance]

I agree that Sony is being dumb by not allowing crossplay, and I think Sony looks worse than NINTENDO of all people when it comes to this specific online matter. But if I'm running security on an online service, I don't give a shit how many assurances some outside service gives me about how they're not going to put "the kids" in danger or whatever. I don't give a shit if some other company says "oh we believe Microsoft." Unless we have a specific business arrangement, I'm not going to take your promises as given. I'm just not. Even if I think you'll try your best to keep them.

Yes, blame Sony for not brokering the business arrangement. I don't know how hard Microsoft tried to get Sony to sign on, and I don't know how hard Sony tried to make things work. But to act all hurt because "we would never hurt the kids, how dare you Sony" smells faintly of bullshit, regardless of how right Spencer is otherwise.

 

[wesleyshark]

Jeff is the greatest

 

[disappeared]

Good shit.

 

[Linkyn]

Great interview. I really love listening to Phil talk about the industry.

 

[mreddie]

I want to see Shawn Layden or House in one of these

 

[FantasyFreak07]

That was a chill interview. Good stuff.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Great interview. GB is killin it.

 

[robotrock]

Sony should have used the Adam Boyes crossplay excuse instead of the Jim Ryan one. Do not go to Jim Ryan for anything.

 

[MassiveNights]

Great interview, only thing missing was first party dev and future games chat.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Phil seems like a good dude.

 

[- J - D -]

Great start to nite 2.

 

[Pooya]

who is the next guest?

 

[Kaizer]

Maaaaaaaan, that was a fantastic interview.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Do wish they maybe talked a little Age of Empires though.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Phil is a duder.

Get the man a burdurger

 

[phanphare]

that was a great interview

I love when Jeff is afforded the opportunity to just talk shop with someone who can reciprocate

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

I'd love to see a 2-3 hour conversation dual interview bewteen Jeff, Phil and shawn layden

 

[E92 M3]

Phil should join GB.

:eyes:

 

[DanLongman]

Thought that dude in the gamers play in Xbox shirt was gonna show us his junk o.0

 

[StrongArmSteady]

They dont want ppl logging onto xbla from a playstation console period. Dont know why they just dont say it... instead a idiotic statement about security (ironic btw)

 

[Officerrob]

Fantastic interview

 

[gogosox82]

Another great interview by Jeff though I am a little disappointed he didn't really ask about the lack of first party games but everything else was great.

 

[Death Metalist]

Still waiting for this, too.

It's a shame Jeff hasn't pushed on this more but anyways, Tamoor Hussain from GS did.

Well worth a watch, a lot of threads spun off these answers and so much better to hear from him directly.

If MS wasn't getting their ass kicked they wouldn't be doing it either.

we can discuss alternate realms if you want but we are in reality. microsoft/nintendo is supporting crossplay sony should too
