Again with the overpromising.
Another overpromise to put previous overpromises to shame.
Godus anyone?
Press X to doubt.
Sounds like wild overpromising
Sounds like a big promise.
Not the Onion material.
lmao he’s doing it again
Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’
When you “make up” for something you’ve done, it’s not up to you to decide when you’ve “made up” for it. It’s up to the people that you crossed. What a presumptuous thing to say.
I don’t believe him…
Carnie promoter says carnie shit, more news at 5
He’s like that shitty husband that keeps cheating and getting caught, and keeps saying he has changed.
I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.
I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.
I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on - although without the hardware stuff and more on whether or not they could deliver on time since they’ve shown what they wanted was actually possible with future updates)
I’m taking the bait again for old times sake if nothing else. I hope he proves everyone wrong, it will be a fantastic end to his saga, and we’ll get something great.
When we’re let down again, we’ll still have something fun to play with and getting tricked by Molyneuxs big ideas will be like opening a time capsule from a more civilised age.
This is true. Black and White might have been awkward and buggy but it pioneered a whole sub-genre.
I’m not sure that Pete has actually played a game he wasn’t directly involved with since like… 2010?
What we’ve seen of his new game really isn’t that interesting in the modern landscape. Maybe a decade ago it would have been fresh and had enough of a hook to compete for gamers’ attention, but today? It looks pretty forgettable.
Then when you consider Molyneux’s propensity towards feature creep, it’s probably safe to assume that even if the game is a ‘success’ by most conventional metrics, it won’t be profitable because the amount of money spent to make the damn thing will have been completely insane.
I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.
Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.
Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.
Oh yeah, falling for Molyneuxs hype again. Take me back to when things made sense. Thats the good stuff.

Bullshit
