Xbox boss Phil Spencer has praised HBO's The Last of Us Series, saying he thinks a successful video game adaptation is a great moment for the industry.

In a new interview with IGN, Spencer said the show is "fantastic" and he thinks the team behind The Last of Us have done a great job transferring the story from the original PlayStation video game to a television drama, calling out Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann in particular.

Well, it's fantastic...and I also think that the fact that Neil himself has played a role...to see him applying his creative talents in the TV space I think is really great. It's great for him, it's great for the team
The fact that Neil himself has played a role, obviously in the creation of the game and the franchise, but see him applying his creative talents in the TV space, if that's even what we call it anymore, video space, television space, I think is really great.

What is wrong with ”Fill“? This guy really talks too much. Almost every other day he talks in a different interview, no wonder they are not releasing games. The only thing he is doing correctly is PR.

“Report” with the suggestion or tag mod with your comment if you’d like it for this or other suggestions in the future.
Done, reported with the suggestion with the Phil threads 🤝
Thanks for the suggestion.

It just means you potentially miss other news/game announcements as there is 5 or 6 different Phil Threads from one single interview what seems a little excessive to me :p

Yeah I hear that. I’ve requested a few Activision acquisition ones to be put into the OT and mods have done that, but at least that’s pretty established as the main area for it. A “Phil Says OT” may need deployed 😆 but at least quotes from the same interview shouldn’t be parsed out constantly.

I wish the Halo TV show stayed faithful to its lore rather than be some CW garbage. Maybe if Halo TV show respected its audience and stayed to its roots it would have been just as successful as The Last of Us, but alas piss poor management and disrespect to the franchise are what made the TV show a failure.

Why do these journalists ask these questions? Is it to Stoke the fire for people to rag on Phil?

Next they'll be asking Jim what he thinks of Hi Fi Rush.
 
It’s the just the PR playbook. They got the bad news out of the way with layoffs and financial results, now the announcements and interviews to make that the top of the news cycle.

This.

Microsoft just had a string of bad PR, usually when that happens they role out the propaganda machine phil spencer and he creates a bunch of new headlines saying a bunch of fluff, like congratulating sony on something. It helps with whatever talks they’re having with regulators also

Is it International Phil Spencer week or something?

Man gives ONE interview. Then people on GAF split it into 4-5 topics and then whine about the man giving too many interviews.

Will never not be funny.
