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.
