Man, now I really want a regular Phil Spencer + Todd Howard podcast. Just shooting the breeze and telling war stories. How interesting would that be!
Phil gonna have 'some' on one of his shelves with those block letters
It doesn't state Bethesda only. They might talk about Sega acquisition as well.
Is this going to be all about the good relationship they've had? I'm thinking it will be like a documentary talking about how the company's history with MS has been and also discuss how they will remain to have creative freedom. Phil's shelf will be the focus during the entire debate.
Shadow drop at the end, these games now on Game Pass with a nice surprise (meaning DOOM will now play 120fps, something along those lines).

They will most probably clarify on the 'some' exclusivity thing because they would want to further clarify for the general and casual gaming audience because regardless of them being careful with their wording, it helped spread clickbait headlines by the media and rightly so. Any person who sees that line will interpret as differently to what they might've been intending to say.
Aaron said it won't have anything on game news or announcements, this will probably be only a chat with them saying how MS and XBOX were already a family or something.
I know that but that isn't exactly game news since its just clarification on what they meant previously in general talking about exclusivity and bethesda games during the discussion. Now if it were regarding specific games then yeah it would fall under game news or reveals. Technically speaking, Tuesday's phil spencer press release wasn't game news or reveals either since there was no talk about any games in particular.

I hope they do this, but not sure they will. I kind of wonder if they like the current way it's giving attention to them. Ideally they would give some kind of framework about what to expect from future Bethesda titles, such as 'most will be exclusive' or 'most of bethesda games will try to reach the same platforms they were prior to the buyout') "Some" just seems intentionally vague. To be fair I think people have emotional investment in it and will fight the stretch the truth in their preferred argument regardless of what they say, sadly.
It's a possibility but I find unlikely, they will probably (annoyingly) talk game by game which one will be fully exclusive or not.
And it doesn't really have to be the place, this is just the studio heads, Phil and Major Nelson chatting.
Good to keep expectations in check. Hopefully they at least confirm the new Game Pass games coming tomorrow
Actually its 50/50 for me now. I guess you just can't discount these sort of events as being just boring talk. Gotta set expectations low for anything important like that! But logically they should say something after the media headlines of 2 days ago since this is their only chance publicly until E3 time this year in May/June.
It will happen today according to Jeff Grub, maybe in 8 minutes or in an hour.
Yup, those are my favorite types of videos/podcasts - just give us the inside baseball from 15-20 years ago
lmaooo it's all he seems to do now...which is fair. The reaction to the May 2020 event gave the poor guy PTSD.
Good, maybe "some" of you will finally drop this notion that you're still getting the AAA games on PS5.
I'm pretty sure that will just be Phil's Hot Coffee easter egg.
(I hear he was a big fan).
It's a gaming forum, there will be posters who have zero interest in Xbox writing about how boring and terrible this is
