    It's criminal that this interview has only 24K views as of the Xbox 20th anniversary. Seamus is one of the founding fathers of video games. An immensely intelligent galaxy brain who will never be fully appreciated.

      Exactly! A true visionary of what is now, modern gaming! Truly remarkable!

    I feel like gaming doesn’t celebrate its Blackleys enough. Think how about much we all owe this visionary

      This deserves to be the most upvoted comment. Excellent comment -- I completely agree!

    You know you're a Hardcore Xbox fan when you watch these Xbox Interviews. Not only does it bring you closer to the brand, but the stories are awesome, and the Early Xbox guys do sound like US Gamers, and Less Corporate Suits.
    It really Humanizes the brand, and empowers the Rebel, Youthful and Fun Perception that Xbox and Xbox Live gives off.

    • @WeeWeeJumbo
      @WeeWeeJumbo Před 6 lety +3

      cMARVEL360 *once gave off

    • @kryo187
      @kryo187 Před 6 lety +5

      cMARVEL360 agreed. These are some of my favorite videos to watch. I love the Xbox brand. Especially OG and 360 days

    • @donwon4828
      @donwon4828 Před 6 lety +2

      cMARVEL360 I read this and I still can't stop laughing at the mentality

    • @cMARVEL360
      @cMARVEL360 Před 6 lety +6

      Don Won That's probably because you read it whilst comparing. But what else is there to say really, when we all know that Microsoft which was Pure Business, Pure Corporate, Turned a new leaf within itself as a Big Business which gave birth to the Video Game Child Product that was viewed as such, until SOLD to be bigger than what it was to Cooperate Suits.
      I guess my perception comes from living in a Family with it's own Business, and this is kinda how I feel. Young, Old, and in a position to have a ton of ideas but how to push them to a generation that is fixed with doing things how it has always done things?
      Stop Comparing to other consoles and listen to the guy and his words. The story was about being young and dumb in a Coporatiom that didn't allow ANY OF IT.
      From that, birth the platform I have spent sooo much time on, that has also given me Halo and made that Business a TON of money, WHILE also Changing the entire Console landscape with the Innovations that the Xbox console brought to the market, which have also helped other markets such as ISPs in order to make their networks ready fo the future we live in today.
      It's all good though, I can tell you're just laughing drowning in the jucies of your own short sighted ignorsnce, and Blind Fanboyism.

      cMARVEL360 such ego and self righteousness

  • @jkbobful
    @jkbobful Před 6 lety +7

    at the hour and 5 second mark most interesting part he talks about the problems of Xbox getting exclusives and at hour and 9 second mark talking about the Xbox 360 taking steps backwards.

  • @Jacob-nc1sb
    @Jacob-nc1sb Před 5 lety +4

    1:31:27 great advice I personally struggled with this with what I want to do, but with working at a factory I kind of lost track of it. I appreciate what you said seamus.

  • @UnrealPirateDK
    @UnrealPirateDK Před 6 lety +4

    Just love these interviews! Thank you Ryan and IGN. So great to hear from Seamus, but also Peter (Moore) and Phil (Spencer). I have listened to that interview where all three was there (episode 201?). What I would love to hear too, if it’s possible, try ang get J Allard and Robbie Bach too! That would be awesome :)

  • @CommanderAusbo

      Nonono, thank *you* Ryan! I've found myself being nostalgic about so many of the same things as you over the years, and you're the guy bringing all these amazing interviews to average Joe's like me! And now.. *faints in Norwegian because Ryan replied.*

  • @Adamchevy
    @Adamchevy Před 4 lety +5

    It’s strange that this only has 17k views?

  • @RL_Stine_88

    Seamus was recently the top consultant on a recent Indy video game that came to Game Pass last month actually.... Lawn Mower Simulator!

  • @danielposey0620
    @danielposey0620 Před rokem +1

    I’m pretty surprised that nobody has come back & revisited the idea for Trespasser.

    @Kenji182 Před 6 lety +4

    Pro tip: If you're show is called unfiltered, don't put a dip to white transitions. Cut to wide. It hides the filtering better.

  • @hectoramador6397
    @hectoramador6397 Před 6 lety +14

    Thanks again Ryan. It's obvious you wish for the good old days of the original Xbox/early 360. OXM demos were great. Your backgrounds in these interviews are lit af. But somewhere around 2008, all forms of media seemed to realize giving us less makes them richer.
