2: Wow, he's giving us the world? Better get another wheelchair ready for when he cripples himself with his own ambition.

I'll cut him some slack: If I can make my smart Spore Monsters plant a seed and then go somewhere else and come back and the tree has grown and aged and been effected by wind and storms and such in real time, I'll disregard any features announced in the game that weren't delivered.

Stop talking, Peter, please.

like i said "we'll see" i've been wrong about stuff before. it's been known to happen.

He has flapped his lips so much when it comes to features that I am not surprised he is doing it again. Fable 2 will be an averagely good RPG with alot of wannabe grand ideas.

MrSatan

The creature was the dumbest part of the game. Jeez and here I am set to actually go to Peter's keynote. Ugh....

"This is Peter Molyneux opening his mouth. Now we wait until he inserts his foot."

That might take too long, how about one of us just do it for him? So who's up for a field trip?

Dangeresque- Got temp banned and learned his lesson! (Crazy!)

@-MoarPlz-:
I had a tiger when I played. I heard they were the stupid hard to train ones, but I had mine trained very well pretty quickly. He'd fish for the villagers, used to steal toys from the creche, but I took care of that, and I even caught him running laps around the island carrying a boulder a few times presumably for exercise!

...and then every half dozen times or so I started the game, he would completely reset and forgot everything, so I stopped playing. That game had lots of potential, but if they ever patched it up, I'd left by then. :/

I don't need a billion unique NPC models... I just need unique ones for the characters I have to interact with to progress.

Though, I mean I love the idea of a TON of NPCs on screen... actually, Dead-Rising is still the only game that I think has done something that couldn't been toned-down for last-gens system.. meaning it was more than taking last-gen's game and making it HD. But they didn't have unique models... but it was still as good as it would have been had they all be original looking zombies. But who cares?!?!

I mean, play Shenmue... all the characters are unique... but would you really care, or even notice, really, if every 6th or 7th person looked like one you had already seen? Or if they just swapped textures/palettes?

And seriously since Fable (and esp with all of his Fable 2 interviews) I have lost much respect for Molyneux. I mean, during early stages of Fable the ideas he was presenting were good... they excited me. But everything I've heard about Fable 2... the stuff he seems to be focusing on... sounds awful. Like stuff that has no business being in a game. Or at least has no business getting as much attention as it is.... like the Dog, or trying to get the player to feel "Love"...

"Love"? Seriously? WTF Peter. Are you single-handedly going to rid the world of loneliness because people actually feel LOVE for an NPC? It's just retarded...

Also, if we can fit in a generic battle system and a horrible lock-on feature... that would be tits!

Since his revolution will probably center around Fable 2 (Ok, I liked Fable but it wasn't worth the hype) or some continuation of B&W I simply fear for our souls.

@SpiralJacobs: That brings a good point, you can be a genius but you are only as good as the people you work with. Bullfrog had some really talented staff in their ranks, that makes it a lot easier for Molyneux to shine. But as your company grows and you are just hiring bodies then it's going to be harder to maintain that balance between organized work, creativity and ingenuity.

zoesch

Perhaps Mr. Molyneux should take a page from Will Wright's playbook and start making software "toys" for us. Black and White would have been so much better if it were just you, your creature, and your villagers playing around and seeing what happens. The Movies would have rocked if you could have just jumped in, picked your sets, set up your actors, and start creating without limitations. Fable turned out pretty good, but the original vision would have been served better if the story was de-emphasized and the player was plopped into a dynamic world with random threats popping up all over the place -- like GTA, except you're a good guy.

I'd rather have a guy who talks about landing in the stars then someone who says, "you need a hype machine to sell games," or, "anyone who disagrees with me is a pathetic internet closet case."

Maybe Fable 2 won't be brilliant or insanely high tech, but in the end, is it so bad for him to be reaching for that? He's never managed to piss me off as much as he does the bulk of Kotaku commenters, apparently.

Epic burn, lawl.

Sad but true. Re-read that quote. It's nothing but pure overclocked, nitrous-powered, hyperbole. He doesn't even say anything about the game itsself just of f'ing great it is.

squish123

Have you even played it? Fable isn't a terrible game at all. The only thing that made it disappointing were Molyneux's promises that set expectations far too high. It was a let down, certainly, but in a vacuum, Fable was a respectable game.

Heliophage

I prefer "Prove it, Molyneux!".

Captain Impulse

the dreaded "we'll see" is in order.........

DankPanties

So, they are making "THE SIMS - WORLD EDITION".
:P

Mr.Garcia

Nah, who am I kidding?

Captain Impulse

Then the lost chapters came out and that pissed me off since the devs said "Fable is the game we set out to make." a pile of horse balls.

So, my Girlfriend has been on a Fable kick, and I started playing a bit at he house and now that the bitterness has subsided with time I found it to be actually enjoyable.

Though I'm a fanboy at heart and I am sucking at Peter's 'Teet of Lies' again for Fable 2 and probably anything else he ever makes.

He is just so excited for his own shit it's hard not to join his british ass.

"Imagine if Peter Molyneux delivered on a promise. Well, that'd be pretty revolutionary, wouldn't it?" would be more suitable :)

Mister Adequate

Fable I thought was completely average and not the game that was promised. Before all that I have mucho respect for Molyneux.

When he talks about AI I don't believe him. As none of his games have had more than anything that classes as standard game AI.

I await with caution to see if he can rekindle the old Molyneux Magic...

...but then again maybe he should just create a game marketing company instead of developer these days...

TurtleSoup

I loved Black and White... until they took my creature away and started making me do World manipulation puzzles to gain followers to get him back.

I still think that Dungeon Keeper was his best idea, those games had lot of potential.

... Now... just imagine billions of the creature experience, *no* gesture controls, and instead of physics, it's basically world of warcraft.'

deathbunny

Let's hope so anyway.

P.S. Can it stop being fashionable to bash P.M. now? As far as I'm aware, he did a great job at Bullfrog, got a little carried away with his first couple of projects with his own company (Black & White and Fable), and had to release B&W2 and The Movies way before he was happy with them because EA wouldn't give them any more money. Now he's on Microsoft's payroll, can we give him one more chance? If Fable 2 sucks, you can go right back to ridiculing him, but for now can we give him the benefit of the doubt?

hinges

When I read the headline, I thought he was talking about Fable 2, but I guess he's already hyped the shit out of that game...
...and probably realized, as the release date draws nearer, that it won't be quite as exceptional as he bragged, and that maybe he should shut up about it and start the good ole Molyneux Routine™ on his next project.

Antiterra

Is everyone so hell-bent on assuming that everything said from game producers must be the same mono-tone convictionless rhetoric? All you need to know is that he loves what he does and is always trying to make games people will enjoy. Instead of bitching, just realize you too can adapt to how you interrupt what he says.
