Hes just mad :fable the journey:failed and not even fable fans liked it

Do Fable fans even like Fable at this point?

I do! I like fable 2, 3, and would probably enjoy aniversary. but they need to make the next fable run smoother, have a bigger world, boss fights, and have less loading times.

I think he might be doing his old act after he hyped up Kinect with project milo and fable, he's now bashing it and will probably come out with a virtual reality game or some other "technological revolution" after Godus which he will then hype up as the best thing slice bread.

Him and Cliffy B are annoying as hell.

Living in past glory (if they even had any to begin with)... I'd like to encourage them to use their time to make AAA games instead of doing interviews commenting on topics that doesnt even concern them.


I think Peter is a little over-rated but Cliff is a great dev.  From Jazz the Jack Rabit, Unreal TOurnament, Gears, Infinity Blade, Shadow COmplex etc  Everything he touches pretty much turns out good.  He may be a jerk but he knows how to make good games




       

Yep. Because of of him people will suddenly not like Kinect anymore.

I think Fable 3's worst aspects were poor attempts at innovation and character development. Particularly, the "menu" where you had to go back to that hub, it was innovative but tedious it could've been handeled better. Furthermore, the people you could socialize and interact with where not only cartoonish, but not even particularly good cartoonish. Working on Side character development is more of a man power and writing issue so I think in terms of technical ability Fable 3 didn't need that much improvement, it was just everything else that needed work.

The first one was a great game, everything after that has just been one disappointment after another. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I dont particularly like the guy, but he speaks the truth. Kinect really is "unnecessary". The handful of minor things it can do better than a standard controller doesnt stand up to its cost and the time developers have to put into it.... hence no-one after all these years has given it significant attention.

I wouldnt rule out the possibility that he actually left lionhead cause Microsoft wanted to force them to make that kinect Fable, wich failed miserably.

I could see this happening. I remember one dev coming out and saying they were being forced to make Kinect games when they had no interest in doing so. If this is the approach MS is taking to the Kinect it's no wonder all the Kinect games suck. You force someone to do a job they don't want to do and your not going to get their best work.



Coincidental? Of course it's not coincidental, the Edge story was about turning the Xbox One around. Molyneux's answer was one that a lot of other people also believe, that they should offer an SKU without Kinect. I don't think that's exactly controversial.

I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with him but why shouldn't he answer a question that's asked of him?



MS is trying to innovate voice like the Wii U innovated tablets.

I honestly think Kinect 2.0 will support a few games (not telling which one's I think of) that will deepen the immersion with it quite a bit. I have idea's in my head that would be awesome, I'm sure MS has some as well.
