It just means we’re in the lull between games. Molyneux always does this.
- Hype new game
- Game comes out and cannot possibly live up to the hype
- Apologize for overhyping game < You are here
- Start developing new game
Sorry for lying for profit
Ironic. If he could stay away from interviews and just let someone else PR for him he’d be remembered as a legend of the gaming industry. Bullfrog and Lionhead put out quite a lot of bangers for their time.
But he does like talking too much. Shame.
“But I promise that you’re going to be blown away by the promising I’ll be doing in the future. My promising will be authentic, intuitive, life-like and indistinguishable from the real thing. This is promising like you’ve never experienced before, and these are promises they will still sound assuring twenty years after they’re made. I’m so proud of the team for the work they’ve done on this and I’ve promised them a pay rise, holiday in Bora Bora and a blowjob from a $10000-a-night hooker with a mouthful of warm honey. That’s the kind of promises I’m talking about, promises that will change the way we think about promises and, if you have a moment, I’d like to make you some promises too…”
Why does he keep doing it then?
He kickstartered a PC game and made a mobile microtransaction PoS for a Chinese phone game scammer with the money.
Didn’t he do or worked on an NFT crypto game too? Oh wait, from the article:
His most recent game, Legacy, is described as a blockchain business sim in which players buy non-existent plots of land with cryptocurrency.
Chasing those buzzwords really shows the depths of fail.
Loved the RPS interview with him. Went all out to confront him.
Holy shit I just read it and… Wow. I am never, ever, ever in my life buying a game that Peter Molyneux has involved in.

That was a trainwreck, Holy shit
The People Make Games interview is interesting too

I mean, you can blame him for a lot of stuff but he designed quite a few iconic games. Most game designers will spend a lifetime and not achieve just what molineux achieved in the 90s.
he hasn’t made a playable game since the 1990s
I’m always one for dramatic over-exaggeration but the Fable games are perfectly playable
Can’t wait for the new Fable. My loins are girded in anticipation, or something.
They are not perfectly balanced as all things must be.
need more games like black and white.
Being able to say this out loud is a big step. +1 emotional maturity. +1 admitting he’s got a problem.
I’ll not deny that he has passion, but someone really should have reigned him in. It only hurt the game when it inevitably never delivered. Who comes up with game features on the spot to the media? No respect for the people who actually have to make the game, sheesh.
The last time someone reigned him in, we got Spore.
Peter Molyneux didn’t work on Spore, that was Will Wright.
Frankly, I’m offended by the comparison on Will Wright’s behalf.
Wait seriously?
Maxis, not Lionhead.
Molyneux released Black and White at around that time.
