菲尔 · 斯宾塞近日接受了《卫报》的采访，讨论了叙事型游戏的开发现状，并称尽管现在开发叙事性游戏的风险很高，但 Xbox 在这方面做出的努力比以往都要多。以下是本次采访的重点：很多人认为微软正在把精力都集中在跨平台联机游戏上，对传统的叙事型游戏没有兴趣，但菲尔 · 斯宾塞认为实际情况与外界想的不一样，他们手头上正在开发的叙事型游戏可能比以往都要多。叙事型游戏的开发与《盗贼之海》和《无人深空》这些能不断迭代的游戏不一样，你用故事打动玩家的机会只有一次。并且开发一款大型叙事游戏需要几百人的团队工作好几年时间，投入数亿美元的预算。如果游戏失败，这一切都得不到回报，开发风险极大。无论是平台拥有者还是游戏开发商都在积极投资一些崭新的，高风险的项目，这就包括那些创意十足的叙事型游戏。这是一种赌博，一旦作品成功，就能将玩家引

If the game fails, all of this will not be rewarded, and the development risk is great. Both platform owners and game developers are actively investing in some new and high-risk projects, including those creative narrative games. This is a kind of gambling. Once the work is successful, it can attract the players
