Larry is in this thread and he’s been replying there too. He will discuss his favorite moments in the near future and maybe even a book he says.

Does it play like Divinity? I haven’t been keeping up with this game beyond it’s done by Larian and my only interest is because of Divinity original sin 2.
I’m so so shocked.

Yeah it looks exactly like Divinity Original Sin. And sure, real life D&D is turn based, so it makes a lot of sense to make a D&D game in this style. But Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 were real-time-with-pause. A modern successor to that style is pretty much Dragon Age Origins. That’s what I wanted from a game called Baldur’s Gate 3, not turn based.

I contacted him once around the time Forza Motorsport 5 came out and he was great.

Oh man, that’s an end to a chapter for sure. I first started following Major Nelson back when he was just posting all kinds of stuff on his personal blog, lots of which was non-Xbox stuff. I remember he once reviewed a razor. I wanna say one of the first multi-blade Gillette ones? And he would talk about products from Microsoft’s competition, like the Nintendo DS and the iPod.
Whether that was all a clever ploy to make the Xbox brand more personal and less corporate or whether it truly was his own, non-MS endorsed, space on the internet I don’t know. But I do know it worked. He was basically Phil before Phil was Phil. Meaning, a somewhat unassuming, normal gamer guy, who by his mere presence and laid back personality made Xbox feel more approachable.
So, kudos to Larry. I think the Xbox brand owes him more than perhaps he is usually given credit for.

We might have found Phil’s alt account. That hand gesture.

By the way, that whole nonsense a few days ago about Xbox influencers and fans being paid and free dinners, that’s more a Sony thing.
Years ago, during the PS360 era me and my friends had a gaming news site of our own and we were invited to visit the business center during Gamescom, which means going behind closed doors with all these studios. Every time after Sony held their conference they would have loads of free food and good stuff too for all the media people. So if anything…it’s the other way around.

One of my favorites PSP games is getting a spiritual successor.

I thought they were with Sony.
I mean Sony closed the studio and the article stated that the game is on Kickstarter.

That looks pretty similar, so by spiritual successor, do you mean typo in the name?
Wait, was this from the studio that got recently shut down?
It was a Japan Studio IP and most of the Japan Studio talent left to form independent studios or got hired by Nintendo.
