Support NeoGAF

Phil was probably the biggest proponent for user-generated content on the platform... LBP is his legacy as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Kittonwy]

And now Harrison is alone in the dark at Atari

:lol

 

[Kagari]

Phil

Why did you leave?

 

[Atomspike]

what's with the Phil Harrison & Gaf love affair ?
he gets too much credit around this board.

Fixed.

Just seems like a niche title to me that people are over-hyping.

I was going to say something about this not being "pivotal" to how PS3 fares...

Is this really going to sell 6 figures in the US? *hmm, 100,000 seems pretty low. Make that 200,000

(That said, I'm looking forward to it)

 

[Atomspike]

Fixed.

excuse me but he is a manager/PR guy ,it's not like the guy is of Miyamoto or kutaragi caliber

 

[Sega]

Nice. Now delete the 3d gameplay and make it 2d again.

What? Since when did they make it 3D?

I really want to know this as well. I thought it was still 2D gameplay. How is it 3D now?

You can move in and out of the screen, I think there's 4 levels.

Is one of the few decent and charismatic guys around in the industry, plus he made Little Big Planet (when Miyamoto turned it down) among others games, possible. Enough said.

We love charismatic bastards that leave us far too soon?

Apparantly you don't know anything.

 

[WasabiKing]

Harrison was the last bastion of hope for all Euro developers. The forum has always gone crazy over PR friendly people, see Reggie.

I don't love him, but hell ... he is one slick motherfucker when it comes to PR.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Phil Harrison and Ken Kutaragi played major roles in bringing the Playstation brand to what it is now. Phil wouldn't have been given his role at SCEWWS if he didn't understand games. He was VP of 3rd party relations at one point IIRC. He will be missed. I'm not really in love with the Kaz Harai/Howard Stringer era of things. It seems like a much more confused, much more desperate SCE than before. PEACE.

what has phil done at Infogrames so far. back when he was at sony there were regular 'whats phil doing these days?' updates...i dont remember seeing any of those since he left.

 

[Nooreo]

Oh harrison why did you leave to Atari? WHY!!!!! T___T

I will miss your bald head i really will, it was soo sexy

There was a short video and a few interviews with him. He's probably busy trying to save Atari from sinking.

 

[PistolGrip]

We miss you Phil please come back. Best fucking PR guy bar none.

 

[ianp622]

I loved how Phil usually talked about what Playstation was doing, not what the competition wasn't. This new PR guy also doesn't have Phil's charm. Thank god he helped make LBP into what it is now.

 

[PistolGrip]

I propose GAF goes on a hunger strike until he comes back... if it works for Ghandi why not us.

Come on Phil if you only waited a bit longer you would have been SCE CEO. With Kaz in Power SCE has much more power over Sony

 

[Rlan]

Harrison is a total jerk and getting his just dessert.

He's not a jerk! He's British! There is a subtle difference.
