Released a few weeks ago, the first episodes of The Last of Us series were well received by both the players and the neutral public. They also liked the head of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer, who has repeatedly praised the popular Playstation franchise in the past.
As part of an interview with IGN, Phil Spencer was asked to comment on the HBO series and called it “fantastic”:
Yes him [сериал The Last of Us] fantastic. They did a great job bringing a fantastic game to TV and thanks to the team, all the teams that worked on this. Clearly, this is based on the work Naughty Dog has done in creating the franchise.
The journalist asked Spencer if he hopes that the second season of Halo will be able to approach the level of THe Last of Us:
I want us to be better at everything we do, including the Halo TV series. I think there are some differences between them [сериалами Halo и The Last of Us]. But to the question “Hey, The Last of Us has set an incredibly high bar, should we all strive to achieve the same bar with the work we do on television?”. You can say absolutely yes. But the same can be said about video games. Every time I play a great game from someone, it inspires us to do our best. And we always hope that next time we will present our best projects, best ideas to find an audience that will be interested in watching, as in the case of the Halo TV show, or playing, as in the case of Hi-Fi Rush and the games that will come out. this year. We are always inspired by the work around us.
