Annalie Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's really quite strange seeing him as a young guy, how old school. Was 1983 really 30 years ago? damn.... yea he looks the same though, he hasn't aged much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 While at EA, Mattrick helped develop the popular racing series Need for Speed. He left EA in 2005 and joined Microsoft http://speedcap.net/sharing/files/01/f2/01f28bba752d2cd4959f81f1365b0508.png He's responsible for the 3 best NFS games? I like him a little more!

Darth VeX Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Lets hope the next person is better. Man Mattick was acting crazy latly. I think he was mostly just pissed things weren't going his way. They were just not really prepared to explain the DRM policy and the online-connection requirements as well as the Kinect and the price disparity ... It was just too much bad PR and he just let a reporter get under his skin. Sony did such a great job PR-wise that people barely even noticed that Microsoft's E3 Press Conference was almost entirely filled with GAMES, which is what people wanted, and yet it still wasn't enough. Especially not once Sony started playing to the crowd with their tongue-in-cheek "trading games" video and such. I think it was all just too much for Mattick.

It was just too much bad PR and he just let a reporter get under his skin. I don't think you could blame the reporter (Geoff Keighley is his name btw) for simply doing his job and just asking the questions that we (the consumers) wanted answers to. They've been developing the Xbox One for how many years now? So to say that they weren't really prepared to explain the policies that they knew people were going to get worked over is either arrogant, or ignorant (or maybe both). When you say things like: How do you think people will respond? Even if he really did feel that way, there were much better ways to phrase it, and as someone who was the President of one of the biggest companies in the world, just shows how unsuited he was to handle his job (seeing as how talking to reporters/the public is one of the job traits of being a president).

erobert3 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 he probably left from the shame of sticking up for the old xbox one policies, by saying we still have the 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't blame Geoff Keighley at all. The best reporters in the world are the ones who ask the "tough questions", the questions that "no one wants to answer." It was Mattick's fault for letting all the bad PR and pressure get to him and make a snide snappy response that started his downfall. I don't blame the reporter at all.

Gackt Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Oh, I don't blame Geoff Keighley at all. Heh...Keighley used to really annoy me, he's gotten a lot better at interviewing people though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture639 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Heh...Keighley used to really annoy me, he's gotten a lot better at interviewing people though. I used to have alot of respect for Geoff Keighly, especially during the times he defended video games against people like Jack Thompson (during the GTA "Hot Coffee" incident) and against Fox news during the Mass Effect 2 love scene. However, after the "Doritosgate" incident (where he earned the name of "Doritos Pope"), I'm embarrassed to know that he's still considered (by most people) to be the face of games journalism.
