I wanted to post a topic about PM just a few minutes earlier, but I couldn't bring myself to bare the shame.
In my opinion this guy is overrated, and everything that went wrong with Fable after Fable 1 is his failure to create and lead a studio.
This guy should have been kicked out of MS a long time before he could have the chance to leave.
over hyped to no end sadly.

Several years have passed since the PlayStation 2 launch. Let's look back at some early claims and hype. Several completely ridiculous claims were in a Newsweek article back in March 2000. But the most significant aspect of the PS2 might be its ability to hook into the Internet, making it a "Trojan horse" to bring online gaming, e-commerce, Web browsing, e-mail and downloading of music, software and video into the home.
Woah, dude. It's teh Matrix! Mr. Anderson! "You can communicate to a new cybercity," gushes Ken Kutaragi, the visionary behind the PlayStation. "This will be the ideal home server. Did you see the movie 'The Matrix'? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into 'The Matrix'!"
w00t! Toy Story graphics! The secret is the Emotion Engine, a fast, high-powered chip set that is fine-tuned to generate polygons, the building blocks of 3-D graphics. While the original PlayStation could handle a mere 360,000 polygons per second, version 2 can spit out more than 20 million: it's a jump from "South Park" to "Toy Story."
Chang0rz society liek teh printing press! "It's historic, a mass-market appliance that fundamentally changes society in the way the printing press did," says Trip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts and CEO of 3DO. "This is a new canvas for humanity that takes us back to our nature." |
I just laughed so hard it hurts! Thanks for that kow. :D
How did this become a PS2 thread?
PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.
Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

Hahaha. I remember the Cell commercial were I was almost under the impression the cell is going to be a sentient being. The feeling it left me with, was: Finally games will evolve to the next level. Now everything will change.
Gotta love this kind of hype its entertaining. Do you have more of those quotes ?
Though I think it's high time Peter Molyneux stop exaggerating every game he releases and realise he's working with a £200-300 machines and not a Cray super computer, I do feel for him regarding Fable 3. Fable 3 was clearly rushed out for release in time for the Holiday season and if only he had did manage to get it delayed and released say spring time 2011 I think it would've been a much better game. The King part of the game was far too short, that's the part where the game where it could have really shined.
Wow, did went off-topic fast.
I read the whole interview and he's an interesting guy as always, but he always fails to deliver with his games. At least he's got a list of semi-varied and semi-original games, if he didn't hype them so much he's have a better reputation IMO.
Hopefully leaving MS will allow him to do something better.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
