Game Buzz | Episode 33 - No DRM Please, We're Gamers

Dealspwn writes: This week, we go back over the Xbox One news of the past seven days, including the concerns over DRM, the response from UK retailers, and the vague plans to combat lost revenue from pre-owned sales; we cast our critical eyes of the revelation of what was inside Molyneux's cube; we bid farewell to the Online Pass; and we discuss Precursor's ailing crowd funding push for Shadow of the Eternals.

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

Project currently codenamed MOAT.

JusttJD0099203d ago

M.O.A.T

Misleader of all time?

jznrpg203d ago (Edited 203d ago )

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

"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!

GhostScholar202d ago

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

Wait.

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

jznrpg203d 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.

RaiderNation203d ago

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

InUrFoxHole203d ago

Lol what the hell man?!?!?

Number1TailzFan203d 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.

sagapo203d ago

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

Giblet_Head203d ago

I quite liked Magic Carpet growing up.

Obscure_Observer202d ago (Edited 202d 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.

Becuzisaid202d 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_Observer202d 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.

Profchaos203d ago

Does Milo live under a bridge there

shinoff2183203d ago

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

shinoff2183202d 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.

Nebaku304d ago

And we thank the lord each day.

Michiel1989304d ago

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

Double_O_Revan304d 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!

Godmars290304d 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.

Godmars290304d ago

Peter Molyneux: Hideo Kojima minus ability and skill.

Godmars290304d 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_BLM304d ago

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

The 10 Most Expensive Microtransactions And DLC In Games, Ever

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. "

potedude1131d ago

Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.

Relientk771131d ago

I will never understand why people pay for this crap.

Master of Unlocking1128d ago

"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

"Legatus Pack - Star Citizen $27,000"

Ouch!

Planet Calypso - Entropia Universe, $6,000,000

WTF...?!
