I always like Majors podcasts.

 

[The Flash]

Didn't think I would have a Ps4 right now, now its even crazier to think I will probably have both consoles now.

I don't think so. You're a gamer. Gamers go where the games are. Pretty soon I'll have a gaming PC and a PS4 and I'll be pretty much set.

 

[WonderCheese]

so Titfanfall doesn't require gold anymore?

Where in the world would you get that from what was said?

 

[Raxus]

Nice to hear. I expect MS to have a solid E3. It is already guaranteed to be better than last year's shit show.

 

[link1201]

I love the continuous monthly updates.

 

[Officerrob]

Spencer continues to hit all the right notes

 

[legacyzero]

Im falling for Phil Spencer. This guy fucking GETS it.

 

[rokkerkory]

Phil is THE MAN!!!

"This will be the place we talk about games!!!"

"Destiny will get resolution bump on X1 due to June SDK"

"People do not play Execs on the consoles, they play games" lol

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Will be there tomorrow for the after conference Q&A with Phil!

 

[...Scatter...]

I don't think so. You're a gamer. Gamers go where the games are. Pretty soon I'll have a gaming PC and a PS4 and I'll be pretty much set.

LOL - you kept the signature. Good man. Doffen will be proud. On topic: Less executives would absolutely be better. I don't want to see more than a min or two max from Yusuf Mehdi.

Spoiler

And please, everyone, no Mattrick gifs! I don't want my head to explode.

 

[enzo_gt]

Whoa, Destiny not requiring Gold?

I.. might just keep my 360 pre-order.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

We getting a 900 p titanfall patch?

Ha! Respawn seems like they took their money and moved on. Not a peep about the performance patch since the game's launch. Pretty disgusting I'll say. No way I'll get Titanfall 2 on day one now.

Respawn will be talking about the next DLC(new games modes, ect) at E3, might be info there.

 

[Poona]

Whoa, Destiny not requiring Gold?

I wonder if it will be the same with ps4? As in it won't need ps plus.

Might end up getting it at some point if so. I don't do the paywalls on either system.

 

[jbug617]

Destiny has competitive multiplayer so you would still need Gold.

 

[TS-08]

Nice to hear. I expect MS to have a solid E3. It is already guaranteed to be better than last year's shit show.

You're probably thinking of the reveal, not the E3 show, which showed off plenty of games last year. Unless you just really didn't like those games.

 

[Ol No Bones]

I love his shout out to Nintendo first party. I wish Nintendo would step up the hardware aspect and have a serious 3rd party offering but you can't always get what you want.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Titanfall will be talking about the next DLC(new games modes, ect) at E3, might be info there.

I might feel that way if they actually talked to the community, but they stopped communicating as much after launch.

 

[Blueblur1]

Man, Phil makes me want to get an Xbox. It's fantastic that this is the head of the Xbox division sitting down talking like a real person and showing genuine enthusiasm for games. If tomorrow is filled with a bunch of awesome reveals I will go out and buy an Xbox.

 

[BruiserBear]

We getting a 900 p titanfall patch?

Probably. The devs have said as much.

 

[rrc1594]

14 hrs away no leaks. Will we make it

 

[Kelsey]

We getting a 900 p titanfall patch?

I'd hope their focus would be on performance first and foremost. For a game that's supposed to be 60 FPS, it sure spends a lot of time well below that, and also tears all the time.

 

[enzo_gt]

Destiny has competitive multiplayer so you would still need Gold.

Well, only to access the competitive bits, right?

I had a fear because it was always connected you wouldn't be able to turn off the multiplayer stuff. I suppose I'd be missing out on a lot of the cool matchmaking stuff though if I played through everything alone.

 

[JaggedSac]

Uhuh.


Just like Respawn was going to increase Titanfall's resolution to 900p or 1080p (lol).

Respawn was waiting on this.

 

[mdubs]

I first read that as exclusives I was about to lose my mind!

I'm glad I'm not the only one, was about to have a major legit shook moment when I misread that.

 

[muzzymate]

Oh man i'd kill for backwards compatibility for all the Xbox Arcade titles, i'd love to use my Ki Arcade stick on GGXX+R...

I'd take any amount of titles. Sadly, I doubt this would come but it would be my favorite 180 after Matrick's "you're backwards if you are backwards compatible."

Hope Phil throws a submarine line in the event.

This is pretty much me too, but still will wait to near Fall.

 

[RoboPlato]

I like Phil so far. Mattrick taking over the Xbox division was when their focus lost me. I think it'll be a year or so before they can get me back on board 100% since it takes time to fix things but he seems like the best man for the job.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

People will do it anyway but I feel people really shouldn't judge him overall in his role yet, it takes time to implement a long term vision, building a portfolio, the future of Xbox Live and so on. He's off to a good start in my opinion.

I'm not hyped for tomorrow for them, Nintendo and Sony but I wish him well in his first E3 as boss.

 

[DarthWalden]

Don't know if it is newsworthy but I found something interesting in the Xbox Ambassadors forums.

Seems that we're going to know new features tomorrow.

Hmmm interesting... I've been wondering if they were going to unveil a new strategy for distribution. Perhaps this has something to do with the once rumoured digital trading, family share, or something along those lines.

 

[TheXbox]

Spencer is a good dude. If he can whip the Halo franchise back into shape I will buy his Xbox One.

 

[BruiserBear]

I'm not one to cheerlead for executives, but Phil Spencer is about as likable as they come. The Xbox One is finally in good hands.

 

[Ran Ran]

It's pretty refreshing to hear an executive talk like Phil does.

Respectful, not afraid to give other companies credit, understands what people want which is games.

 

[dargis49]

I always wondered what a Major Nelson is...

I mean is he a Microsoft PR employee?

why does he behave like a journalist and social media blogger instead?

He is PR.

 

[Night Angel]

Phil can certainly talk the talk. Hopefully he has a walk to back it up. I'm looking forward to hearing good things for my XB1.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Im falling for Phil Spencer. This guy fucking GETS it.

Phil sure knows how to make a guy swoon.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Wait.. Destiny is coming out for X1!?

Spoiler

i kid

Phil Spencer is the man. Im so glad hes heading up the xbox division. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. I feel giddy.

 

[E92 M3]

I always wondered what a Major Nelson is...

His true title is Director of Programming for Xbox LIVE.

Phil is such a good dude - can't wait to see what's happening tomorrow.

 

[Quotient]

Destiny is asynchronous.

I thought Destiny was a real-time shooter.

 

[Jackbooted]

Family sharing Phil, you know you want to drop that bomb. Maybe I'm just dreaming though

 

[Bizzquik]

Major: "No Fireworks after 9pm."

Phil: "Hmmm...seems like a good idea."

LoL

 

[vinnygambini]

Phil Spencer seems genuine.

I like him.

 

[harSon]

Phil Spencer would actually be good as a regular on a podcast

 

[DataStream]

Phil seems like a pretty humble and genuine dude.

 

[jbug617]

Phil Spencer would actually be good as a regular on a podcast

can't wait for Tuesday when he is going to be on the Bombcast.

 

[E92 M3]

can't wait for Tuesday when he is going to be on the Bombcast.

Oh shit - that's great! Didn't even know.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Please no Mehdi on stage. Nothing personal, but he's the tv/kinect guy in my mind.

 

[RoKKeR]

Please no Mehdi on stage. Nothing personal, but he's the tv/kinect guy in my mind.

Agreed, I really hope they limit his time.

 

[Jackbooted]

Wait a minute, asynchronous multiplayer is going to be free? The best example I can think of would be the DS games. Would it be a major bomb if he announced an exclusive HD port of DS1/2 for XB1? Seems like it would be huge to some people.
