Yeah especially with the Wolfenstein guy he was super laid back. Honestly i dont expect much from these Phil Spencer interviews despite some of the heat Jeff throws his way it still becomes way to interview style instead of just talking shit. But i understand why they have to do that.
Heat? That's a softball question! Lol

The past times Phil has been on the night show have been a treat. I expect Jeff to push him with some great questions tonight.

Jeff should blurt out "exclusive" every 2 minutes or so for no reason.
I want him to ask about new IP and specifically if there is any in the works at studios we don't know about which they created or is it just Rare doing something on the side because I don't think you can use the crutch of known AAA partner studio totally working on something for us but we won't say which is code for we have fuck all in the works.
So why haven't you invested in creating new internal studios?

He won't. They actually had a great interview last time and despite the gif it went well. Jeff has since referenced it a few times saying he thought the ideas presented we're good.
Doubt he'll do that. Jeff is usually pretty respectful to all of his guests but I'm sure he's gonna bring up the fact the announced a bunch 3rd part exclusives that can be bought on pc at their conference or the fact that he doesn't even play his xbone because he can play in on pc.

they can ask about VR and true 4k but we already know the answers
1) They said they are not focusing on VR, or shall i say mixed reality, until its proven. Scorpio can clearly support it if OG PS4 can
2) True 4k depends on the developer. As we have seen on Assassins Creed Origins Xbone X is going to be on par with PS4 pro because the developer chose to do that. Games like Forza or Halo 6 will no doubt be monsters on the X
The question they need to ask, although they wont get a full answer to, is what kind of games are in development. Are there exclusives being worked on other than Gears, Halo and Forza that are AAA quality. I think the answer is yes but a hint towards something would be nice

Hopefully he dabs. Phil "Dab" Spencer
Yeah, I don't think MS games are more or less prone to being buggy than the rest of the industry.
I disagree. He seems pretty genuine considering he's an executive.
Looking forward to this.

I don't remember MS ever coming out and saying VR was coming to their ecosystem (I could have forgotten, tbh).
Price point seems like a strange one. For what you are getting with the 1X the price is not that much of a sting.
On cross-play, do you mean specifically with Minecraft? I don't know how much Spencer works with the Mojang team--would he be able to speak for them on this one?
Fair enough. I've never owned an Xbox of any gen so I have no clue what their studios are or what they make.
LOL, they joked about this last year, you think you found his loophole? MS gets money either way, console gamers that want the best gaming experience, the Xbox X is for them. They dont play on PC, consoles only. Its that simple.
Its not likely to come up as its been answered.
Because they don't see value in it and feel they can find those same games with external partnerships. That's not a hard question to answer at all. It's a matter of differing philosophies. No right answer
I think you're thinking of Don Mattrick.

High fidelity VR was literally one of the 4 bullet points when they announced Project Scorpio.
Now the official line is "we will get back to you on that" which is fine. VR is in a spot right now. So is Xbox. Best to play it safe.
I mean, how is this different than the other heads of the big companies? Jim Ryan is saying some ignorant shit out there and there are rightfully a shit ton of threads on it.This will end well...on gaf.
Somebody get the thread ready...cuz you know there's gonna be like 15 threads made by one sentence Phil says.
I think that was a huge part of their pitch at last year's E3 when they announced Fallout 4 VR for Scoprio.
Saw some tweets recently suggesting that some Xbox people are saying no to VR but others have been saying yes.
Here's a story where some Xbox marketing person said no VR: http://gametransfers.com/xbox-one-x-will-not-support-virtual-reality-says-marketing-chief/
Here's a story where Phil Spencer says yes VR: https://www.cnet.com/news/phil-spencer-xbox-one-x-still-supports-virtual-reality/

maybe they have? Are they supposed to tell you everything as it happens?
So 3AM CET. Well, too late again
Nobody even noticed it gone or probably there to begin with.
A dab'll do ya! (I don't know what a dab is, besides a fish you can catch in Animal Crossing...)
Looking forward to this. I like it because it seems like GiantBomb might be able to get people get more candid in their meetups. Hopefully Phildo gets comfy on the couch, starts swearing and puts his hand down his pants Al Bundy-style.

I honestly dont blame them either.
All Phil has to say is that they will make their move when the time is right and thats that. Maybe VR will be dead by next E3 anyway.
Jeff already knows the answer to that and even said it during their MS conference stream (not everybody wants a gaming PC).
Also LOL, "heat".
The man is a professional.
"We will continue to develop with our current 1st party studios."

hmm true, isnt the old Live dead? Thats actually a good question. And achievements, will there be any?
Fak!

Just pull a Sony and say stuff is being held back for later in the year events...
I assume this will be one of his questions since they discussed it during the reveal.
Great question! First one I read in this thread.
Nothing substantial is going to come out of this.
Top level Executives are like politicians, they will always give non answers to stuff that hasn't been announced or will affect them negatively.
I enjoy the Giant Bomb night shows for the discussion and stories about the industry, not for sticking it to the "man", which is not what GB does anyway.

Was a magic moment.
I don't expect anything nearly as interesting tonight. Though with his PR speaking this week, who knows? Could get some serious gafs.

Its literally the old versions of the game. So no achievements.
I dont know about online but you can system link your Xbox One to your OG Xbox and do local play that way. (or to other XB1's)

How will original xbox backwards compatibility games access a network for online play seeing as how original xbox live no longer exists? Tunneling?
How can PC gamers buy the games when it's not on Steam?
VincentMatts

Makes sense. Thats probably why they were mentioning how they have OG games working in system link with: OG, xbox 360 and xbox one. Cause they know there wont be any 'online'.
Its pretty impressive if you ask me.
I honestly don't remember how it even worked on the OG?
