Do we really still take him serious?

adorie4375d ago

I disagree with your statement and it's underlying meaning.

This is a stark contrast from his tenure @ Microsoft Games Studios. He did lie to us in the past, but most devs are doing that now at days, the ones who don't have to lie or sugar-coat their game's impending release are the ones who let their creations do the talking.

I say, give the guy a 2nd chance, as someone who is no longer forced to say things he doesn't want. This is the 2nd interesting interview from him since he left MSGS.

Thatlalala4375d ago

This would be close to his at least 5th chance.

saladthieves4375d ago

Agreed,

Also in the interview he describes how liberated he felt the moment he walked out of the doors, to his new studio, 22Cans. He states that this now gives him more creative freedom that he didn't have working at Lionhead under Microsoft's deal. He can now experiment with ideas and take risks, (something Microsoft rarely does).

Yes, he used to keep promises that he couldn't fully deliver before. But he's got a clean slate, with a new company that he fully oversees without someone else breathing down his neck. I for one am interested to see what he comes up with in the future.

mananimal4375d ago

He screwed himself by lieing, over & over & over again, I say he gets what he deserves, what ALL LIARS & BETRAYERS deserve. He made his F__n $$! so now he can afford to leave Microjerk & start over. I dont trust him & I NEVER WILL AGAIN, thats his fault, not mines, his CHOICE, not gamers who trusted him. He's reputation is what it is & He's only got himself to blame, period end of story.

saladthieves4375d ago

Molyneux is a guy with good ideas, the problem he has is expressing these ideas into the proper visions that he sees in the first place.

The thing is we have so many of these guys in the industry. Patcher, the "industry" analyst is paid to get how many guesses wrong????

fei-hung4375d ago

can this guy ever make up his mind?

u got owned4375d ago

SO now that he does not work with MS... He's talking trash? Psssssss!

Hicken4375d ago

Were you expecting him to talk trash while he was still employed by them?

dark-hollow4375d ago

I always got a bit worried when i read 'Molyneux says:...'

Kinect4375d ago

Haha bubbles man, can't believe u got disagrees people get a life

adamant7154375d ago

This time, he's right though..

FordGTGuy4375d ago (Edited 4375d ago )

If you keep throwing shit at a toilet at some point you're going to get it in the bowl but you're still throwing shit.

adamant7154375d ago

What about what he is saying is shit? Enlighten me

FordGTGuy4375d ago

The point is that Peter Molyneux is known to spout shit and just because he finally made a good point doesn't mean he still isn't spouting shit.

Jazz41084375d ago

Another article taking what he said out of context. Nice try fanboys but no one cares about him anymore. Next

Peter Molyneux's new game is set in Fable's Albion

Project currently codenamed MOAT.

JusttJD0099226d ago

M.O.A.T

Misleader of all time?

jznrpg226d ago (Edited 226d ago )

It’s between him and Phil. I’d vote Phil

Obscure_Observer225d ago

"It’s between him and Phil. I’d vote Phil"

If Phil were the man that made my life miserable, I would vote for him as well.

Regarding the topic, it could be both Peter and Phil working together.

M.O.A.T takes place in Albion, so it´s possible that Pete is working on new partnership with Xbox, which imo, is nothing but great news!

GhostScholar225d ago

What exactly has Phil mislead about? I can’t wait to hear the verbal diarrhea you come with.

Cacabunga225d ago

Still waiting for Milo and Kate.. most lmao game OAT

Becuzisaid226d ago

Wait.

His name is still used as a selling point for new games? Seriously?

jznrpg226d ago

If anyone knows his name you have to be extremely skeptical that what he delivers will be anything like what he says it would be and that’s best case scenario.

RaiderNation226d ago

He's like the "Tom Clancy" of video games.

InUrFoxHole226d ago

Lol what the hell man?!?!?

Number1TailzFan226d ago

I remember Black & White (PC) but other than that I can only think of Fable, B&W was a pretty cool game tho at the time.

sagapo226d ago

Populous was another one designed by Peter, released before B&W, godlike game as well, pretty good too.

Giblet_Head226d ago

I quite liked Magic Carpet growing up.

Obscure_Observer225d ago (Edited 225d ago )

"His name is still used as a selling point for new games? Seriously?"

The guy is a gaming legend for gamers who actually knows and played his games, like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Black & White and Fable for example.

Becuzisaid225d ago

I'm certain that most who actually know who he is would contest your use of legend. He's the living, human embodiment of false advertising.

Obscure_Observer225d ago

@Becuzisaid

There´s an abyss between false advertisement and bad games.

Most gamers will get excited for games from great gaming creators rather than focus on their exaggerated promises.

Kojima described his Xbox exclusive game as "very unusual like no one has ever experienced before, leveraging the cloud." He said all publishers he presented the project, called him mad and rejected his game but Microsoft, because it´s too crazy.

Is Kojima exaggerating? Obviously. It´s gonna be a bad game? Hardly.

Imagine a game where Peter Molyneux presents an extraordinary set of ideas that players will enjoy for years to come. Now imagine that this particular game will come out because it will never exist.

Profchaos226d ago

Does Milo live under a bridge there

shinoff2183226d ago

Captain overseller is returning. Ain't heard his name in years.

shinoff2183225d ago

Peter was overselling games way way before cdprojectred, and bethesada

Peter Molyneux has high hopes for Playground's Fable

One of the biggest reveals at this year's Xbox Games Showcase was the latest Fable trailer. After a lengthy stint of silence, Playground Games gave us a look at bits of the title, albeit in a trailer that was mostly made up of CGI nonsense headlined by comedian Richard Ayoade, who is playing a rather frustrated giant.

Molyneux asked about what he thought about the Fable reveal.

Damm thats a name I haven't heard from in what seems like since forever.

Nebaku327d ago

And we thank the lord each day.

Michiel1989327d ago

he actually was in the news every now and then with a (couple) scam games he made

Double_O_Revan327d ago

The exact same thought came to mind when I read the headline. It's been so long since we've heard his lies and over ambitions.

A failed hack designer has high hopes for Fable lol incoming flop confirmed!

Godmars290327d ago

Well, he's not associated with it. Giving interviews talking about features never at any point mentioned with devs let alone introduced.

It might have a chance.

Godmars290327d ago

Peter Molyneux: Hideo Kojima minus ability and skill.

Godmars290327d ago

Think you mean ethics.

Also, whose defending Molyneux? Wasn't his last game a literal ripoff with him offering a prize but not giving it?

KwietStorm_BLM327d ago

I wonder if those hopes are higher or lower than Milo?

Joy Ride Turbo - The Beginning of the End for Xbox Kinect

Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
