I was mainly referring to their releases this year. I played Fable 2, it's one my favourite 360 games, I've also made that apparent on this site, but Fable 3 is a mismanaged mess in comparison. Peter keeps talking about being great, he wants to make himself look humble, but his got to get his head out of his ass and stop trying to change up his game so much in attempt to appear innovative.
He had the budget, the man power and the time and he still developed a janky game with a weird hub world and a silly expression system. I've only ever played one Indigo Prophecy game and the hype David built for it, matched my experience when playing it. Peter made a good game out of Fable 2, but eveyrhting he said he was going to fix and create, didn't even show up in the game and if it did, it was insignificant.
So basically, Lionhead are a good development team, their at their best when it comes to charm and colour, but when all their current efforts are taken into consideration, they aren't a great developer, they're only just good. It's mainly due to the expectations that Peter builds, usually falling flat and that it takes away from the experience of the game.

Now that I've had a bit of sleep and am not in a horrible mood anymore... first I apologize for my last post >.>
Second: How much did Peter actually do with Fable III? On Fable II he was the head developer but since the second one he was promoted to basically being in charge of all MS European studio's so I'd think he had a lot less to do with Fable III...
