Listening now, it really is a great interview. Phil's a really genuine guy.

Need to agree

Just finished the interview. Good interview. I hope he teases whatever rare is working on next month.

I also noticed Phil saying he wanted Sunset as an exclusive franchise to xbox. He said its a real first party game for them etc I have a feeling this is a Gears/EPIC like deal where theyre going to let Insomniac own the IP but theyre making a deal to keep Sunset Overdrive through this generation as an exclusive to xbox

"Universal profile settings is being worked on"

What does this mean?

He's pushing sunset for the future, I guess they pretend to keep the ip exclusive in the long term.
"We have some other stuff that we are about ready to talk about." Games?

"We have both internal and external first party being worked on right now. We dont want to just rely on our core games. We want new IP and new characters. Sunset is a good example of that. We want to push the boundary and its got to be a commitment for us" jrpg please.

The question was about settings like inverted analog settings and cockpit view in cars.  So stuff like that is what theyre talking about universal profile settings.  Stuff you can set for all your games.

Yeah, looks like MSFT intends on keeping SUnset on Xbox as an exclusive.

From the question asked he was most certainly talking about games :D

Oh I see, that's a nice feature to have. Never thought about that.

Makes sense, Sony has infamous. I don't really like the genre (I dislike even gta), but the jsr vibes are so strong on this one :3

Does Microsoft have any event coming?

VGA usually has announcements.  Last year was kind of a joke but you still had the announcement of UNcharted 4, No Man's Sky, Game of Thrones TTG, Borderlands TTG, and Quantum Break there.  I would expect a few more announcements and trailers there this year.

At least one announcement would be cool, waiting for E3 to show everything makes some stuff being overshadowed by others.

Wasn't VGA/X last February?
