Giant Bomb interviews Phil Spencer, 6 pm pacific

[Andy]

I did watch and I know they said that. I just hope that isn't the plan from either side.

Didn't sound like it. If you listen to Phil talk about it, he's very respectful. He just wants to support them financially, to do whatever they want. I don't think the intention is to turn them into a Hellblade factory.

I'm still hesitant to drink the Kool-Aid but he did a nice job in this interview.

 

[Grimmy]

Playing Hellblade right now, and it's early but I like what I see. However, I hope that MS didn't buy Ninja Theory so that they can go and do Hellblade 2, Hellblade 3, etc. I hope that the team wants to just keep trying out new IPs.

Not at all. They write great narrative games. They did Enslaved! I loved that. Plus, they do a great job with facial animation.

I also have a great love for Kung Fu Chaos, which I still own. I like to see that backwards compatible now.

I don’t think so. NT in their video to their fans, they said that MS asked them what they wanted and it’s was pretty specific. So much so that they didn’t think Microsoft would agree to it. But they did.

Phil said he worked with Ninja Theory on that title. Maybe that will help its chances of getting the BC treatment.
