None of that will help lol

Racing games don't count for narratives, we all know this, nobody cares if Forza is a 9/10, Hellblade may or may not be ready this year, but even if it is, and you get it out ahead of Starfield...bro...is you crazy? lmao

Another Starfield delay will only raise MORE eyebrows and attention towards it. It will build pressure on that game, not relieve it.

Does he talk about Japanese games at all, and or skipped games?

It definitely seems pretty short. I've played maybe 8 hours, and I've already done more than half of the main missions and about half of the side missions apparently. Only at 15/100 on the Grave Lock collectibles though, hope there is some kind of in-game map or ability to help find these because it seems like it would be a real grind to have to follow a youtube video to find them all. 

Conversely though, for a game this short, the leveling speed seems to be way off. It seems like I'm more than halfway done with quests, but my skill tree is nowhere near half filled, I'm at level 11 and it seems the max level and the level you need to fully fill out the skill tree is level 40. How in the heck am I supposed to gain 29 more levels when I'm more than half done with the quests? I hope to God they didn't design it so that you need to do either a bunch of co-op with friends or those repeating Vampire Nest missions by yourself to hit max level, I've reached the point now where the nests are only giving me like 1/4th of a level in XP and I'm only at level 11, a long way from level 40, and the XP needed per level seems to scale up. You shouldn't have to do like 50+ repeating missions to hit max level in a game after you finish all of the main and side quests. 

Phil apologised for Redfall but I demand he commits Seppuku.

The Redfall delay discussion in full makes a lot of sense to me and was exactly what I was saying, I don't think it's worth me paraphrasing because it will ruin it and miss context in a good discussion, you guys should listen to the interview for yourselves.

I will mention that he did say that they do mock reviews though and Redfall is double digits lower than their internal expectations (so, 70s).

He jokingly mentioned the "Push Xbox out of the market" craziness and the "Fire Phil" lunatics. Said it's fine and he's way overpaid anyway

He said they DID NOT deliver on the 12 months statement, no "necessarily" about it so I don't think that is happening again.

“There’s no world where Starfield is an 11/10 and people start selling their PS5s, that’s not gonna happen” .. honestly love how direct Phil is being in this interview.

Parris and Klob are the best Xbox folk.

"There's nothing that's more difficult for me than disappointing the Xbox community."
Idk Phil, wouldn't be too hard on yourself, we're used to it by now. :/

"At some point I'll have enough knocks against me that it's somebody else here"

Damn Phil being a real one in this interview.

Sarah Bond waiting.

If Sarah can get more Japanese support, then I'm all for it!

Stfu.

Phil needs to deliver his vision first with all these Xbox studios, then he can retire at the end of this gen/start of next.

Changing leader in the middle of someone else's vision is dangerous.

BUT I SUPPORT SARAH BOND AS HEAD OF GAMING

Eventually*
