John Bedford (Modojo): Earlier today, Peter Molyneux announced that the final cube had been removed in the Curiosity experiment, bringing the event to a close. The winner, Bryan Henderson from Edinburgh Scotland, will become "the god of all players" in 22cans' upcoming Project Godus as part of his "life-changing" prize. In addition, Henderson will also receive a certain share of the profits generated by Godus.
It's a been a long and sometimes bumpy road for 22cans, from launch delays, to show-stopping technical troubles as the servers became overloaded, in-app purchase controversies, and skepticism when Molyneux turned to Kickstarter to fund the studio's second experiment, Godus. Much has been written about the experiment since its inception, but here are some of the most memorable quotes from the man himself.
Project currently codenamed MOAT.
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.
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.
From Xfire: "Remember when you'd buy a game and... that was it? You got the full experience by purchasing the full product one time. "
Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.
"All the DLC - Train Simulator 2020, $10,145"
No wonder we're witnessing an increasing number of ports from PC to consoles, you can't nickel and dime PC owners with all their mods over there, lol
