Peter Molyneux: "I want to make you cry"

Oh, Molyneux. You so crazy.

Though to be honest I did tear up a little when the horse in Shadow of the Colossus "died".

Hmm, so the horse is gonna die apparently. I'm with you 100% on multiple levels Joseph. I hate horses. Wen t to a fair as a kid and my sister and family are petting the horse. Then, no sooner then I slowly move my scared little hand forward it snaps at me. Never been near a horse since.

Back on topic though, they really need to show more of Fable: The Journey. As one of the few people without an XBox I don't care too much about it either way, but I'm always interested to see what Molyneux says compared to what is delivered. The track record is not in your favor thus far on that one Sir Peter of Molyneux.

no he wants to make us cry stop he gimmicky shit and make a good story driven game!

Let me get this straight: he wants me to sit down, be relaxed and make me cry? This makes him sound like some kind of creepy sexual predator.

All joking aside, I can sympathize with Molyneux and respect that he is attempting to make an experience that you are emotionally invested in. I am not convinced, however, that he is going about it the right way. He certainly has a lot of grandiose concepts but he fails to execute on them. I'm not sure he can pull it off because it seems like he is looking for a universal response to a game where one cannot exist. As Joseph said, he fucking hates horses, so trying to get him to become emotionally invested in this virtual manifestation of all he detests going to be quite a trial.

Peter, can I call you Peter? You need to stop trying to combine "innovative interaction" with "emotionally charged experiences." Do one or the other; if you try both and fail only at one, it will detract from the other severely. There are plenty of games that have elicited emotional responses from many people (most commonly through story) that don't go for super crazy mechanics or insane user interfaces. There are other ways to immerse players into an experience and get them to give a shit about it.

You do, Peter, you do make us cry. We shed tears for every single time you make a false promise for the next Fable title. Peter, you are an evil, evil troll.

Peter can suck a schlong

He pretty much spoiled the horse is going to die. Sure you can tell a tear-jerking story about an animal without resorting to reminding people what it's like to lose a pet, but Peter Molyneux sure can't. I bet he won't even try.

ahh but peter you have! You have made me cry on multiple occasions! you made fable II and III which were so horrible I almost cried myself in a coma!

Eat a D*ck, Peter. I'm sick of your lies, bait switching antics and will never ever fund any lionhead game.

"This horse is one of the most amazing thing we've ever created". Reading that made me laugh hard.

Welp, I'm crying. There goes Fable for good.

i agree. Fuck horses.

You want an immersive and emotional experience? Have you raise the horse, train it, and ride it around. Then some time down the road have it break it's leg and force you to kill it. Too bad no developers have the balls to make such an experience.

So Petey M has already spoiled the death of your horse huh? It's like he never learns his lesson, he keeps getting worse, he's reverse learning.

Goddamnit Peter the fable games are gradually getting worse fable 1 was awesome, fable 2 kinda good, fable 3 sucked, and fable: the journey will make my eyes bleed and the only reason i will remember the experience is because of how bad it will be!

Anyone else think about Tourettes guy when he said "Fuck horses" ? Rather funny.

Keep making continually worse entries into the Fable universe Peter - I'll eventually cry.

He can say whatever he wants, within some reason, so long as he makes a good game. The thing is he lost me with Fable 2. This 'Fable' does not look like it will bring me back. The 'NOT on rails' statement was for the horse traveling, but the not the shooter portion. That's a guess from the seeing the demo. One of these days the man just might make a good game, but this isn't it. It's a shame too, because Loinhead has put out some good and unique games in the past.

I wonder if we'll get the same emotional attachment we had with the dog in Fable 3, because boy, I just loved that dog. x-x

Stupid mutt.

Anyone notice that peter said the same thing about the dog in fable2 and the touch system in fable 3? Ill pass. lyinhead sucks.

Oh....I hope is isn't going to "touch" me in this way...

I cried when Daniel Radcliffe took nude pictures with a horse.

Watch him end up being a flat out liar

Christ you're good, I wanted to write that, call me crazy, anyway I might have to bookmark this page 2 great articles in as few days, thank you.

I hate this man...

He was kind of right about the Dog in 2, I felt more for that pooch than anything else in that bland game.

So who knows...

No Molyneux, no more

Molyneux is the snake oil salesmen of gaming world. He speaks but doesn't produce, I don't know why he wastes the gaming worlds time. I mean isn't there something else he could do like open a art gallery or make himself into a golden statue ?
