"Inside' developer originally had a deal with PlayStation, but Phil Spencer called the studio and said “Listen, we need to make a deal”

"I don't know if he got wind of it somehow. I was sitting one night at eight o'clock, in my sweat pants, and then my phone rings, displaying an American number. And it's Phil Spencer from Microsoft. It was crazy!
He says: 'Listen, we need to make a deal with you, what do you want?'And I was like, 'Well, we've actually made an okay deal...'
'No, no, no, no, you don't understand what I'm saying. I can make anything happen, what do you want?'"
This sounds like fan faction... guess Phil just doesn't mess around when he wants something.

All we have is a few trailers, but Cocoon looks like the indie with the best chance at getting in many top 5 or top 10 lists this year. Hope it's good.
 
This sounds like fan faction... but Phil is the ultimate boss I guess?

The story of Microsoft finding Double Helix to make KI, a studio which was made from the ashes of The Collective with an engine designed originally for Buffy The Vampire Slayer with fighting games and beat em' up in mind, by a guy with experience in working in fighting games for Capcom and Bandai Nmaco, sounds even more like a fan fiction.

I really wish that Buffy game was still available for purchase digitally.
 
I guess it makes sense. Phil intervened yet with another developer, and they haven't released anything since 2016….
 
Based, because if it would be just on playstation, there is a chance it would never made to another platform, not such case with MS.

All in all this sucks, but its lesser of two evils.

OP.....get the fuck outta here with this tik tok level bullshit in the title. Goddamn what is going on with this generation dude? Writing isn't a fuckin picture book, you don't need an emoji to describe every noun.
 
From an interview with Arkaden Podcast - the biggest Microsoft shills here in Denmark. I'm pretty sure those two guys are paid by MS - they'd have to be.

I think it is tongue and cheek since another thread started using it. I don't think they are being serious.
 
Well that's how Sony does it too. Thant's how most timed exclusives work.
So I'm looking forward to the Phil worshippers to now turn against him for doing something they seemed to despise so much.

What am I saying, we know they have no integrity when it comes to actual principles and it's mostly just corporate cheerleading.
