Forums - Microsoft - Phil Spencer says Xbox first party should be pushing harder for diversity in genre & mechanics

They're moving in the right direction I guess.

More diversity like Forza one year and Forza horizon the next?

You don't think going from a closed circuit racing, to an open world one a change?

5 Forza games releasing on the Xbox 360 isn't diversity. There's another name for it.



The thing about this is that each company usually has that genre that people think they have too much of. For Nintendo a lot of people think they make too many platformers and for Microsoft a lot of people think they make too many shooters.

Microsoft just needs more things like Sea of Thieves and Scalebound and then they can get a more diverse library of first party games.

Got Milk?  Yes regardless that one is open world and one closed circuit, they are both racing games from the same franchise.  No diversity there.

This is why they turned Black Tusk Studios into a Gears of War factory!

I'm trying really hard to make sense out of your comment.

What does that have to do with: "More diversity like Forza one year and Forza horizon the next?"

We're talking Xbox One or X360?

JRPGs Phil, that's the only way I buy the system. Lost Odyssey 2.


Nope, JRPG is a dying genre on consoles. Leave it to mobile gaming / handhelds.
