Phil Spencer on Activision Blizzard King + Xbox | Official Xbox Podcast

Xbox Podcast: "This week we have a very special episode with Phil Spencer, the CEO of Gaming at Microsoft, who sits down with us to answer questions about Activision Blizzard King and their teams joining the Xbox family."

darthv72192d ago

i know many will still remain pessimistic towards Spencer, but its good to hear him reiterate his stance on keeping CoD coming out to other platforms and with no more special treatment.

blackblades192d ago

So you trust every word he says, got it and noted in history

Tacoboto192d ago

Aww. Did you note it in your little N4G Burn Book?

spicelicka192d ago

"Noted in history" lmao damn dude is patrolling N4G your only hobby?

Lightning77192d ago

Yeah, no more beta privileges. Sony will not longer lock out COD gamers from guns, skins, perks, double XP events, and/or any other in-game advantages or benefits!

Under Xbox All COD players will be treated fairly, away from Sony´s scumbag practices!

derek192d ago

@Obscure, you're ridiculous, you act as if Microsoft has saved you from the great game oppressor Playstation, lol. Power of propaganda on display.

Markdn191d ago

Obscure... You need help if you think this is good for anyone. Under Xbox COD will be a dead franchise in 2 years, that's there proven track record. And I only play on xbox so don't call me a Sony fan boy. I'M more concerned on how much game pass will cost by this time next year.

"you're ridiculous, you act as if Microsoft has saved you from the great game oppressor Playstation"

It has nothing to do with MS good, Sony bad, dude.

You people simply fail to see the big picture regarding big acquisitions. You won´t see nothing beyond what´s negative. There´s huge positives as well.

Sony used to pay Bungie for Destiny 2 exclusive in-game content the same way they used to do with COD.

Now as a Playstation first party studio, Sony is treating ALL of the Destiny 2 players equally and fairly! No exclusive advantages for any platform!

MS has no other choice but to play ball and follow suit.

Botton line: Gamers are and will be getting more benefits from both Bungie and ABK as first party studios rather what they´d used to get when those companies were independent.

@Markdn

"Under Xbox COD will be a dead franchise in 2 years, that's there proven track record."

Yeah, like Minecraft. /S

"And I only play on xbox so don't call me a Sony fan boy."

Dude, I don´t care where you play, after your fallacious comment regarding COD dead in 2 years, after Minecraft´s success under Xbox for almost 10 freaking years, I know for a fact that you don´t sh!t about Xbox. You brought me whatever your crystal ball told you. I brought you facts. Don´t even bother and reply back to me.

derek191d ago

@Obscure, your words really came off as you seeing yourself and others as some sort of victims of Sony's exclusives early access agreement, lol. How can you rationally argue for the benefits of Microsoft acquisitions while being so against minor deals Sony reached with 3rd parties.

Markdn190d ago

So you cite one franchise lol one, how many have they ruined, that's right, all the rest. Don't tell me weather I can reply or not, it's you that knows nothing and your low intellect means you need to resort to vulgar language to make it seem like you know what your on about. The only facts you brought is your butt hurt and can't listen to the facts.

@darth, Spencer is proven liar based on his public statements vs what he says in private communications. His pronouncements are worthless and it's a testament to how gullible the public can be to take Spencers comments seriously.

darthv72191d ago

So you dont trust every word he says, got it and noted in history

derek191d ago

@darth, trust? I don't trust any of these executives especially that phony liar Phil Spencer.

gold_drake191d ago

ugh hes such a fame wh*re.

we've never seen ceo's on so many podcasts or interviews before him.

Futureshark191d ago

I wonder if the inevitable Master Chief CoD skin will find it's way to the PlayStation store then...

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

banger881d 6h ago

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb198116h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein15h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher1d 5h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

got_dam5h ago

Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
