"It's fantastic": Phil Spencer praises The Last of Us series and Neil Druckmann's work on the production

[John Elden Ring]

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has praised HBO's The Last of Us Series, saying he thinks a successful video game adaptation is a great moment for the industry.

In a new interview with IGN, Spencer said the show is "fantastic" and he thinks the team behind The Last of Us have done a great job transferring the story from the original PlayStation video game to a television drama, calling out Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann in particular.

Well, it's fantastic...and I also think that the fact that Neil himself has played a role...to see him applying his creative talents in the TV space I think is really great. It's great for him, it's great for the team

The fact that Neil himself has played a role, obviously in the creation of the game and the franchise, but see him applying his creative talents in the TV space, if that's even what we call it anymore, video space, television space, I think is really great.

This guy is the type of person I usually dislike: fake as fuck, an absolute dickhead, but with good press and some takes to hide how big of a cunt he is.

Well, to be fair there is not much he can say that can't be positive, the show is absolutely fantastic so far.

I finished the second episode last night and for me, it's even better than the game.

Compare this offering to that Halo thing on tv, jeez hah, I mean wtf.

Phil Spencer is peak gaming CEO, always humble and praising of others hard work.

No wonder he gets ranked as the best gaming CEO in polls on most forums.

[Shmunter]

At night, Phil cries into a pillow. True fact.

 

[Yurinka]

He may be awful managing their game teams, but he's pretty likely the best in the business regarding PR.

 

[ethomaz]

The type of guy that praises in your front but behind is hating.

Uncle Phil for you.

The show is great what more he can say?

 

[Elder Legend]

You'd have to be a pretty big idiot too sit there and say the show is poor. What else would he even say? Lol.
