Microsoft Game Studios Honcho Phil Spencer has always been quite fair when talking about the competition, and he shown the same attitude yesterday, when he commented on the results of the D.I.C.E. Awards, from which Naughty Dog's The Last of Us came out with a landslide victory made of ten top honors including Game of the Year, while sparing a word of praise for Forza 5 as well.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
Fallout 76 players have dropped the big one on Phil Spencer in response to Xbox's closures of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks this week.
He said he treated the Xbox executive like the RPG's final boss
Somewhat fitting, Considering buying Bethesda was a complete selfish purchasing decision by himself just because he is a big Fallout fan he wanted to own the toy. Well quite frankly Microsoft should look at that and say you put your personal tastes in front of the business and it has backfired.
Todd Howard out hustled Phil. Howard is definitely in the top 3 all time hustlers in video game history.
Phil's game character properly looks like a villain too.

But the last of us is highly overrated guys!!!!!!
Just because critics....developers...
and the heads of the company that I devote my life to say its a masterpiece doesn't mean its good!!!! im not crazy!!! It sucks!!!
The last of us sucks!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!! BEEEEELIIIEEEEVVVEEE MEEEEE!!!!
OT: the last of us is truly a masterpiece and I enjoyed every minute of it
For those who don't get the sarcasm......its pointing at those who discredit the last of us' s accomplishments (usually from the Microsoft side) with literally nothing to back it up. Its acclaim is universal and they should be commended.
Im want to say this real quick to all the Forza 5 haters. Does Forza 5 look bad? I have the game and I think it looks wonderful! I don't care if they dumbed down the lighting and crowd from the E3 model, as the game still looks great and runs perfect on my Xbox and never dips below 60fps. I know the PS4 is more powerful (Duh) but Im tired of people acting like the X1 can't run games at 1080p 60fps, hell, even the WiiU has games at those specs, it just the X1 can't handle the same graphics of PS4 games at the same specs so please... stop saying the X1 CAN'T do 1080p and 60fps, because it can and we all know it can. :)
you know what i just realized ?! TLOU is officially the most well recieved game of all time by critics
Yep TLOU is the most awarded game in video gaming history. I really hope ND releases a The Last of Us GOTY edition for PS4 with Left Behind dlc.
What else are they gonna do? Their reputation has been down the toilet recently. This is a great opportunity to gain back some respect.
