Forums - Gaming - Phil Spencer talks ‘DriveClub,’ ‘Killzone: Shadow Fall’ and Sony

Keep in mind that his previous employer WAS Sony. So I am sure he has forged good relationships there and knows enough about their operations. He isn't gonna tear them a new hole in interviews, I'm pretty sure he left Sony on good terms. Not to say he isn't classy, his commentary was good, but it didn't just stem from classiness, it probably also stems from the fact that he personally knows a lot of those Sony big dogs.

I'm pretty sure you are thinking of the wrong Phil.  There are 2 now in MS, Phil Harrison is the guy that used to work at Sony.  

Ha! You're totally right! Haha! Well, that shits all over my post! Hahahaha, ok, I guess the guy is all-out class then! Good stuff!

 I doubt he left Sony on bad terms, but he wanted to casualize the gaming front too much. Thats why I am glad hes no longer there, let him casualize Microsoft.



Very mature attitude and the definition of "fair play" are two terms that should accompany his responses.



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.

yes yes yes, I can't see why people are grabbing all over this guy's balls over this. This was very short simple and predictable answers that would be expected from anyone in that high of a position.

Or am I missing something, Does vice presidents usually go fan war style publicly against to competition?

I think anyone up there would be smart enough to realize that saying kill zone and drive club didn't look good would have lost a ton of respect.
