Forums - Gaming - Molyneux: industry wasn't ready for Milo & Kate

My question to him would be:

1. If you questioned the market appeal of this game, what prompted you to begin development in the first place?

2. How do you expect to create a market for such games if no one starts making games like this. Do you expect the market to just appear?

3. What is that matter that's leaking out of your mouth? Is that...bullshit?



Around the Network

The only good thing he's ever done is Dungeon Keepers



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I call bullshit!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

@Molyneux: NEITHER WERE WE!!!

Pathological lier.

Does anyone take this guy seriously anymore? Did they ever?



The reality is he grew too attached to Milo, and keeps the poor kid locked up in a virtual basement.

As soon as I saw this video it became all too clear: http://steamunpowered.eu/first-kinect-sex-game-tech-demo-arrived-nsfw (NSFW)



No demand/no market for product = Industry not ready for it.

Right.

You know, it would have been just as easy to just say it was a proof of concept exercise/tech demo to demonstrate how the technology could potentially be used in future games, but no, "The industry was not ready for it," implying the concept was too far ahead of its time and too high browed for mass consumers, the same consumers who have been buying Kinect, to buy in numbers great enough to be considered commercially successful.

That's a great way of spinning a concept that either had no commercial value, or a concept that eventually would have been exposed as being nothing more than smoke and mirrors to those who were actually hoodwinked into thinking Milo was some sort of interactive super AI "only possible with Kinect."

Nope , he made populous , syndicate ,the theme series etc , it just that he is no longer that person , selling Bullfrog out to out to EA and we know how That ended up . it spelled  bullfrogs demise and he became a man who's games while for the most part good did not live up to his promises whether that is his fault for over reaching or those he aligned himself with stifling him doesn't matter , what does is his history of repeating that same mistake over and over then making excuses.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Molyneux is an arrogant bugger considering he hasn't done anything truly great in over a decade.
