There’s nothing normal about interviewing Xbox chief Phil Spencer these days.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
Hopefully this gets Embracer group back on track
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
“Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don’t sell Elder Scrolls VI on the PlayStation?” I asked.
“Yes,” Spencer quickly replied.
Then he paused.
“I don’t want to be flip about that,” he added. “This deal was not done to take games away from another player base like that. Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: ‘How do we keep other players from playing these games?’ We want more people to be able to play games, not fewer people to be able to go play games."
All I'm going to say about this situation is if he does make any of these big games complete exclusives then he'll become a huge hypocrite and a bullshit liar. We'll always revert to this...and remember this is around the time he was reacting to Sony and their exclusives earlier this year.
"“Gaming is bigger than any one device"
"and I find it completely counter to what gaming is about to say that part of that is to lock people away from being able to experience those games”

So it's your move Phil...be careful what you do next. However considering the rambling he does in this interview, after the initial quoted statement above, it seems like he has no idea.
“Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don’t sell Elder Scrolls VI on the PlayStation?”
Phil Spencer: Yes.
Mic drop lol.
Was there any new information in this interview? I didn't see any.
I see sequels being Multiplat (potentially timed exclusives or dlc exclusive) with new ip being exclusive. It's not right to make a Multiplat sequel exclusive
The main Bethesda games will be on PlayStation it's impossible for xbox console to be in a commanding lead in a few years time. Most people will have playstations it wouldn't make any sense. Bethesda already came out and said they are still the same company and retain self publishing.
It's possible Microsoft will publish themselfs xbox version of Starfield for eg with exclusive items or expansions releasing first. But Bethesda will publish to the rest as normal
