Game designer Peter Molyneux, he of Populous, Fable, Black & White, Kinect’s Project Milo and lots of really great promises, won a lifetime achievement award at the Game Developers Conference this week. More »
Peter Molyneux still wouldn’t give up the goods on his new game at the “Lionhead Experiment Revealed” panel, but he did give us a glimpse into how Lionhead let LittleBigPlanet slip through their fingers.
One thing about Peter Molyneux: We just wish he’d let his games do the talking after they’re released, instead of letting his mouth ruin them before their release. No need to over-hype, Peter! Now, he says what his team that worked on the original Black & White is up to: In the six years since Black & White [was released]they have been working improving the great things that underpinned that game, and now they are getting pretty close to something that is very significant. It’s a very big thing. A new franchise and as close to something revolutionary as I have ever seen. And we’re close to announcing it… If you think back to the one thing about Black & White that was most fascinating, you’d have to say it was that creature that learned behaviour and seemed, for a certain glimpse, to be alive. Imagine if you could take that and multiply it by a billion…
Imagine if Peter Molyneux never said this and then showed something that delivered on this promise. Well, that’d be pretty revolutionary, wouldn’t it? Lionhead Boss Talks New AI [Next Generation]
