Just for curiosity, what games of him have you played?

I'm a huge fan dude, probably more than is healthy:

Black & White/ Black & White 2
Fable/Fable 2
Syndicate
Populous (Not mine, could have been the sequel)
The Movies (Not Mine, a friends)

Not doubting it, it´s just that some of my favorite games ever are from him, so I always failed to understand the notion of him being more hype than real thing. But I guess that's not was the meaning of your post, carry on.

 

[pr0cs]

I always appreciate Peter more for his ambition than for the end product of his vision...But I still think the industry could use more dreamers like him.

Considering all the great games he's been involved with you'd be mad not to be at least a little bit of a fan of his:

[Sonos]

I can't stand Lionhead but I want a game from Che's era and situation possibly more than anything.

This is difficult.

 

[Zenith]

Peter Molyneux worked on Homeworld? It's just got him down in the special thanks section.

 

[Zeke]

Black and White 3?

for all that is holy yes. yes, yes!!!

 

[vandalvideo]

It is about dang time we get a Motorcycle Diaries video game.

 

[Sonos]

It is about dang time we get a Motorcycle Diaries video game.

Which do you like better? Playing as the Infected or The Doctors?

 

[Talon]

Why? Lionhead has never written a worthwhile story ever. I'll take a strategy or simulation game from Lionhead any day over an attempt at a story driven adventure or RPG title from them.

Don't get me wrong, Fable II was a disappointment, but Lionhead did a good job of conferring choice and emotion with the dog and the last decisive choice

Spoiler

changing your character's appearance

than a vast majority of games. I suppose you can argue that the dog moment was cheap, but the latter was pretty ingenious considering how attached players are to your character's appearance.

And, yes, I consider those moments to be a vital part of a game's story.

 

[vandalvideo]

Which do you like better? Playing as the Infected or The Doctors?

Maybe they could make it like Left 4 Dead, only instead of zombies you're shooting lepers. I'd play it.

 

[Mudkips]

Black & White.
And no, Peter, I won't listen to your bullshit.

Just make the game. If it 's good, you'll get my money.

 

[Revolutionary]

I can't stand Lionhead but I want a game from Che's era and situation possibly more than anything.

This is difficult.

It probably has nothing to do with Che or Revolutionaries (ahem).

I'm guessing this countdown campaign is just going to be a quote per day from different people, highlighting the amazingness of Lionhead's new project (Milo or B&W3).

 

[SPEA]

I've always loved this shirt.

 

[NullPointer]

Che-ble?

Che-pulous?

 

[Domino Theory]

This looks fucking awesome (somehow), but I have no clue what it could be hinting at.

GamesCon!

 

[clashfan]

What ever Peter is offering, I'm buying.

 

[a Master Ninja]

I disagree with Che's methods, but I would be willing to debate him virtually via Natal.

 

[Domino Theory]

Didn't Peter say that one of his games had some significance to September of a certain year?

Anything ground-breaking happening during Che's era in the month of September?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Hloy Chet!


Can't wait to see what this is?

 

[Milk Lizard]

Didn't Peter say that one of his games had some significance to September of a certain year?

Anything ground-breaking happening during Che's era in the month of September?

That was Milo. Milo was originally called Dimitri (after his ... erm... godson i think) and that day in september is dimitris birthday. :/

That is Molyneux bullshit for you.

 

[DogWelder]

Please don't have anything to do with Natal.

 

[Smash88]

So Peter is trying to tell us he is the new Che? :lol

Also Peter wasn't part of Dungeon Keeper 2? That seems weird. DK was one of my favorite games from childhood and still is.

 

[godhandiscen]

I bet this is going to be some Natal game that we won't touch until 2011.

 

[Mudkips]

That was Milo. Milo was originally called Dimitri (after his ... erm... godson i think) and that day in september is dimitris birthday. :/

That is Molyneux bullshit for you.

:lol

God that man is full of it.

 

[Ultimo hombre]

Fable 2 was my 08 GOTY so he's got me sold. Bring it Peter. We shall battle the non believers together.

 

[godhandiscen]

That was Milo. Milo was originally called Dimitri (after his ... erm... godson i think) and that day in september is dimitris birthday. :/

That is Molyneux bullshit for you.

Milo was never Dimitri. Where the are you getting this from? I remember Molyneux once explained a bit about the artificial intelligence in Dimitri and it involved a bar fight. How could that have evolved into Milo?

 

[DogWelder]

Oh, I get it, this is going to be a game about choice. Ideas will have consequences, branching paths that correspond to a player's choices, wherein paths correspond to decisions founded upon ideals, resulting in exalted games with deeper soul and story, enhanced characters and meaning, and exalted gameplay. The classical hero's journey may be rendered, as the journey hinges on choices pivoting on classical ideals. Ideas that are rendered in word and deed will have consequences in the gameworld. Historical events such as The Cuban Revolution will be brought to life, as players listen to famous speeches and choose sides. As great works of literature and dramatic art center around characters rending ideals real, both interally and externally, in word and deed, in love and war, the present invention will afford video games that exalt the classical soul, as well as the great books, classics, and epic films--past, present and future.

[Chris R]

Yes, the one thing about Peter is that unlike most people who hype, he's not doing it to cover the game's own shortcomings, he's doing it because he actually believes what he's saying.

And he has fooled me twice with his hype. Never again!!!

 

[Buttonbasher]

Milo was never Dimitri. Where the are you getting this from? I remember Molyneux once explained a bit about the artificial intelligence in Dimitri and it involved a bar fight. How could that have evolved into Milo?

It is Milo though. He's said that. I dunno about the barfight thing, but it's always been based on his godkid or something so maybe you're confusing something.

EDIT: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/e3-project-natals-molyneux-and-milo-interview

Eurogamer: Is this what you used to call Project Dmitri?

Peter Molyneux: Yes.

 

[Ettie]

And he has fooled me twice with his hype. Never again!!!

Yeah, his heartfelt hype makes me wish he was just another money hungry dev. (So I'd get a damn FII PC port.)

[billy.sea]

"At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love."

Obviously talking about Milo. Don't be afraid of looking ridiculous at talking to the TV, Milo will be revolutionary and you will treat this digital boy with all your love.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

He should stop trying to make people give a shit about some stupid animal or character inside his games, and make people give a shit about his GAMES instead imo.

Fuck Pete for attempting something different and succeeding on some level to some people. Who gives a shit about the best selling RPG franchise on the 360?

I don't think it's debatable that Peter loves games, that people think he's ridiculous or that he's released revolutionary titles in the past.

 

[Milk Lizard]

The revolution is coming.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Edit: Sam, watch out "promPt"

 

[Pantheon Of The Lesser]

 

[Liam92]

._.

Dude, 36.

 

[Wellscha]

French revolution?

more and more I'm believing that its a political sim.

 

[Psychotext]

Interesting. I have absolutely no idea what this is going to be.

 

[Milk Lizard]

French revolution?

more and more I'm believing that its a political sim.

Or just a revolutionary game (milo). Really they have only just done the last fable 2 dlc and the other team is working on milo, cant see how they could also have worked on some political sim or some fable 2 dlc about a revolution ?

 

[Liam92]

Didn't they say Milo was never intended to be a full game? >_>

 

[Pantheon Of The Lesser]

._.

Dude, 36.

holy shit, my math sucks

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Microsoft just confirmed me a bcd demo slot at GamesCom to see "something", I don't really know what it will be. I'm wondering if it's related to this announcement, who knows.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Didn't they say Milo was never intended to be a full game? >_>

I don't think this is about Milo. It's already been shown, so it wouldn't be anything new.

 

[Pantheon Of The Lesser]

it's Black & White 3, i bet.

1st update, black background.
2nd update, white background.
watch as the 3rd update has a black background.

 

[Station42]

holy shit, my math sucks

also he was executed

 

[Kafel]

A demo already ?

If it's B&W it would make sense to show it in Germany as it was initially a PC game.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

It is strange that this thread has got this far and nobody has put forward the theory that this is promoting Fable 3 and emphasising a revolutionary theme in the game. It will probably also have zero button combat and one more thing that may seem obvious but will set the world alight and change the way that everyone thinks about games. They can't talk about that yet though, obv.

 

[Akira]

Zero button combat. :lol
