Ask Lionhead if they were going to release their title within the year.
You'd hope one could see a game wasn't coming together too well after a number of years. Would have preferred he just cancelled Fable Legends years ago, and had Lionhead work on something else instead. Wasted opportunity.

Jesus, could you be more cringey?
Probably.
The game was well on its way.
Phil didn't even exist when Don Mattrick was around!
If Xbox had the right heads someone would have pushed them towards making a proper Fable title after the Fable: The Journey fiasco.
But I bet that no executive had anything to do with the studios Kinect focus and "games as a service" focus.
It was well on its way to something. Love me some Fable, but I did not love me some Fable Legends.

I will never understand threads like this. All he has done is reverse mistakes that a dog on the street could do.
He is doing his job, congrats.He gets paid enough

He's done well since becoming head of Xbox. Although anyone else getting the job would have largely done the same. i.e correcting mistakes.
The big thing is the modernization of the Xbox Business, which is largely the same ethos that Microsoft as a whole now have. Services and accessibility across multiple devices.

Phil isn't just doing a job. He's doing the lord's work. Bless that man.

Wow, I thought this was just a joke going around in the last thread. People actually believe Lionhead had the final word in the decision to make a fucking Kinect and MOBA Fable over a traditional one? Really?

Sure he changed a lot with XboxOne. But his recent decisions etc arent that great. Especially with releasing games on PC. The Console is loosing its appeal.

So the tub inside joke, adorable shu, the photoshopping of Kaz's face onto damn near everything ... that's not weird at all either right?

And he apparently doesn't care, lol.
look man, its ok if you love phil spencer
Making this thread was indeed a bad idea, but I guess it's par for the course for the OP
Always... I don't think theres bad discussion here if the thread can keep on topic.
A less light version is, I think that Xbox being in 2nd place now is making them think differently, be more open to what we might need now and in the future and take bigger leaps. Spencer is the figure head for Xbox but it's great to see Xbox as a whole taking some gambles that for my circumstances I'm all for.
Is there some wobbles in what they are doing for me, yeah, I think they need to be more mature on PC and if we're going to have a win 10 store they should go all in with cross buy, cross play for all like with KI or the QB preorder and they have stuff to fix but for me it's the team I'm enjoying backing for now.

I believe in Phil Spencer too. Seems like a good guy. Problem is that you and seemingly a lot of other people are under the impression he has any real say in what goes on at Microsoft. That's not the case, that stuff is all decided by the board and the shareholders. The reality is that he's a PR guy who exists to cover up the shady shit the rest of the company does.

"I believe in Phil spencer" is one of the most cringe worthy things i've seen going around, people with the tags on their profile..it's like a cult lol. Anyone with a brain could have looked good after mattrick and "GAsP" focus a game console on games, like you know since the beginning of time.

Brutal.
I wouldn't say I believe in Phil Spencer. I like Phil Spencer. He seems like a genuine guy. I pity Phil Spencer. He has to deal with crapgamer and tim dog on a weekly basis.
I think the more important question we all have to pose is: Does Phil Spencer believe in me? And the answer is: he probably doesn't care. And that's why I hate Phil Spencer. The stuck up prick.

The only thing that video proved was that Phil is the best looking guy in the Games Industry. And ripped.

Full forward compatibility? Did you mean backward compatibility? Or is the Xbox going to scale back resolution etc on titles designed for the more powerful hardware? Or are devs going to program for the lowest common denominator but allow the versions with superior power to upscale the res/increase frame rate/add effects?

I don't know how people can dispute this. His track record after taking over a company that jumped off a cliff is excellent.
