Phil is making some hot moves with Xbox. I've never owned one but lord I've been tempted late this console cycle.
As someone who was skeptical of GP and not a current subscriber I think it offers a lot of value if you have no backlog or are really casual, I think it's a great deal.
That's fair, I just prefer to buy the first party releases because as we are seeing the with Horizon 4 the monetization is gonna be different as well moving forward. The price is great right now because they want to herd in a bunch of subs, interested to see how this plays out a decade down the line. It has huge potential clearly.Nah, it adds value even if you're "hardcore" and have a backlog. I fit into both those camps and subscribe, and it's well worth the money imo. As well as MS exclusives hitting the service day one, there are so many cool games I've been introduced to, that I'd likely never have checked out, like Hue, Skyforce Anniversary for example. Not to mention 3rd party games like Mutant Zero arriving day one and PES 2019 a few months after release.
Yeah I think anyone can applaud the absolute dumpster fire that Mattrick caused to becoming an example to be followed that Phil produced as a testament to his work.Deserved. Best exec in gaming and seems like a legit dude. He took the Xbox brand from the absolute pits to a fantastic platform to be invested in. Good job, Phil.
A bit tasteless, lol. First it was Kotaku, now GI.biz - the thing is, Sony actually hasn't run out of things to announce, since games get announced on the blog all the time, Shuhei says they have unannounced PS4 games in development and Dreams beta release timing was just announced, they just don't have what is considered impactful enough to fill a conference with. Why wouldn't Nintendo focus on one of their biggest games? Good article otherwise, though. Phil knows what it takes for a successful turnaround for Xbox. Poor year for its lineup, but all the right investments are being made.
My monthly reminder that with Xbox rewards you can get games pass for free.Nah, it adds value even if you're "hardcore" and have a backlog.
