Black, White and Blood To Bring Hardcore Back to Nintendo

Black, white and blood: It's a formula that Sega of America head honcho Simon Jeffery hopes will help the company have its best year ever, continuing it's four year drive from struggling to stay in the top twenty of publishers to pushing into the number five spot.

Madworld, a blood bath of a highly-stylized action title for the Wii that's so over the top it's almost comical, is just one of four games that newly minted dev studio Platinum Games will be publishing through Sega.

PlatinumGames was formed by by the key members of Capcom's Clover Studio, which made such titles as Viewtiful Joe, Okami and God Hand.

The lead developers and studio head took to the stage last night at Sega's San Francisco gathering to talk briefly about three of the games they will be publishing through Sega as part of a new partnership.

Molyneux's At It Again, Talking Up "Revolutionary" Things

One thing about Peter Molyneux: We just wish he'd let his games do the talking after they're released, instead of letting his mouth ruin them before their release. No need to over-hype, Peter! Now, he says what his team that worked on the original Black & White is up to:

In the six years since Black & White [was released] they have been working improving the great things that underpinned that game, and now they are getting pretty close to something that is very significant. It's a very big thing. A new franchise and as close to something revolutionary as I have ever seen. And we're close to announcing it... If you think back to the one thing about Black & White that was most fascinating, you'd have to say it was that creature that learned behavior and seemed, for a certain glimpse, to be alive. Imagine if you could take that and multiply it by a billion...

Imagine if Peter Molyneux never said this and then showed something that delivered on this promise. Well, that'd be pretty revolutionary, wouldn't it?

Molyneux Gets Knighted By The French

Lionhead Studios lead Peter Molyneux has been honored with the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (aka The Knighthood in the Order of Arts and Letters) by the French Government for "recognition of significant contributions to the arts, literature, or the propagation of these fields." Despite Molyneux looking quite French, he is not. He is a British citizen. And he's been the recipient of the Order of the British Empire, to boot. More »

Lionhead: Yes, There Will Be Some Redundancies

Following the public's cool reception of both The Movies and Black & White 2, it appears that Lionhead Studios is slimming down. Gamasutra is reporting that the Peter Molyneux founded studio is undergoing an organizational restructuring plan, resulting in the reduction of a number of Lionhead staffers, and the elimination of a third of its internal development teams.

Black & White Three through Five?

1Up's Jane Pinckard recently interviewed famed developer and braggart Peter Molyneux about his future plans. The man behind Fable mentioned that he still plans to develop three more Black & White titles. Each game will be set a thousand year's apart in the franchise' history with number five taking place in modern time. Judging by Molyneux's past experience at predicting the details of his own games, there will be one more B&W and it will take place about two years after number two and won't be released until 2050.
