Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Phil Spencer - Talks about Scalebound and first party games "1st party internal studios are critical"

@XboxP3 @Xbox @Scalebound I will ask you again, how much money do you need to finish the game?

Phil Spencer ✔@XboxP3

@Kinhdrakk Apologies but this isn't how games get built. There isn't a pour in $X and get game. Much more iterative and organic than that.

@XboxP3 @aarongreenberg @Xbox please don't let your experience with Scalebound stop the company from taking risks. That's why I  Xbox

@LeoCasablancas @aarongreenberg @Xbox Good feedback, I know we have to take risks, I realize right now probably sounds hollow but I agree

@XboxP3 @xbox after the #scalebound news, it's clear now more than ever that you need to invest in 1st party studios rather than outsourcing

Phil Spencer ✔@XboxP3

@DevinKyleO I won't abandon signing independent studio projects but I agree 1st party internal studios are critical.

Ever get the sense that the X-Box and Nintendo line of consoles have the opposite problems?

Also I do not envy the guy who has to respond to the comments, they must be brutal.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Ok now that he acknowledges it do something abouy it Phill. 2 and a half years in charge and the only new studio is Mojang while they vlosed down other studios like lionhead.

If he is being put under a lot of pressure from above and budgets are being cut a bit, as is rumoured on gaf, then I feel a bit sorry for him, but if that is the case he needs to stop promising more first party and more risks when they are clearly not coming.

If those rumours are not true, and it's all up to him, he has got E3 to prove it, otherwise he is full of crap

I do appreciate that Phil takes the time to respond to fans but their 1st party situation is not looking good so I hope he works on fixing it.

Saw those replies on twitter damn a lot of those comments are brutal,downright mean.

Maybe he is not the savior of Xbox division like people thought he will be and again this is still very much Don Mattrick's Xbox not Phil's.

Phil's xbox is the Scorpio if he can't rebuild the brand even a little god knows what will happen.

Microsoft won't give two shits if Xbox sinks.

It feels like they are focusing too much on making the "most powerful console" than the "best console".



Pocky Lover Boy!

I feel that Phil has become the co-head of Xbox marketing as opposed to being the head of the Xbox division.

@classicgamingwizzz, your full of utter bs if u honestly believe the crap coming out of your mouth. U have no idea of what's happening behind the scenes , instead your running your mouth like a playstation fan would.
Either wait for the facts , not some gaf bs rumors and no sense that is spread over the Internet and use that brain for more than a hatrack

They really should invest in some new 1st party studios, they have what, like 5 somewhat major studios?

343 Industries, The Coalition, Mahjong, Turn 10 & Rare........any notable ones I'm missing?
