(and make it on PC and not some lousy 360 game where it would control horribly) I'd also like to see a The Movies 2, the original was really creative and great. But, it's probably not gonna be B&W3 or TM2 :( My guess is it's gonna be that weird Dimitri thing they've been working on. |
Black & White 3? Maybe they'd actually get it right this time.
As for The Movies - "creative and great"? - are you tripping!?! The Movies was the biggest gaming disappointment I have ever had. It was just a generic Tycoon game with a ridiculous "relationship" mechanic ripped off of The Sims and only implemented as a cynical ploy to attract female gamers. It was horrible, and the movie-making element was extremely limited and nothing like Molyneux had promised. So much wasted potential.
Don't get me wrong, Molyneux is a gaming legend (Populous is a classic and Syndicate is one of my all-time personal faves) but his reach FAR exceeds his grasp.
EA owns all of Molyneux's franchises pre-Black And White. EA own's bullfrog and hence all the Ip's of bullfrog. Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Magic Carpet, Power Monger, Syndicate, Theme Park, Hi-Octane etc ...
Fable, B.C, Black & White etc.. and his other IP after Molyneux split from EA are owned by Lionhead (now Microsoft).
We can expect a Black And White for 360. Maybe B.C has been revived for 360 and Unity might make its psychedelic entry into XBLA.
Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>
Ooooh they did Populous? My entire opinion on them has changed them. Since I hated B&W and Dungeron Keeper 2.
Dungeon Keeper 2 just didn't feel like a "Villain" game. Just felt like a "hero" game reskinned to be a villain game.
Populous 360 would rule.

I'm thinking of Populous 2 here, but you knew it was over when a Volcano was dropped right in the middle of your town. One of my funniest moments ever in gaming was on Populous 2 also.
My opponent (we were in a LAN game) was up high on a cliff ready to just raid my town with almost his entire army and his Shaman. Bammm - I flatted land right on some water and there goes his perch and there goes his army.
Those that didn't die were easy to mop up. The rest is history.
