Forums - Gaming Discussion - Peter Molyneux: “I haven’t got a reputation in this industry any more”

Well....at least he isn't being grouped with Xbox anymore for flame ammo.

Sad though, he has such grand ideas but either the lack of tech or money prevent them from being realized.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I really struggle to see how people think the interviewer was too harsh. Have you not watched a political interviewer (Fox News doesn't count). Journalism isn't saying "use me for marketing", it's about asking questions that matter.

When someone takes over half a million dollars from people, telling them they'll get a game in 9 months, and then misses that deadline by 18 months, they deserve to be dragged over the coals for those answers. If he was working for a major publisher he would have had that same grilling from his bosses, or fired.

Time and time again in the interview you can see him making wild accusations at the interviewer, attributing all sorts of crazy motives, and each time the interviewer just says 'no, I just want to understand why you said what you said'.

If he gave straight answers, the interviewer wouldn't need to get out the water board.

Eh, he opened up with "are you a pathologic liar," so the whole thing didn't exactly start off amicably either.



And he lied about that too.

It may not have been amicable, but it was hardly the interviewer jumping up and down on his fingers.

I would love to see him forced to work under Nintendo on a very tight leash. It'd probably kill him.

More than having to actually produce something good under Miyamotos management, I think what would actually kill him would be not being allowed to go running off his mouth to the press every 2 minutes about vague gameplay concepts that don't work even as a soundbite.

 

Molyneux: "We'll have trees that really grow."

 

Miyamoto: *Locks Molyneux in a cell for a week while he designs a system and reason for that.*



How poor would the story be though?
