Peter Molyneux Always up for a Challenge

Peter Molyneux has revealed that Lionhead has another game in the works that apparently came about while they were experimenting with things for Fable 2. He wouldn't get down to specifics, but being that it's Peter Molyneux, Ripten is sure he wanted to talk a big game but some lawyer had his hands on the restraining-bolt controls off camera somewhere.

He did say, however, that he's always looking for a challenge, stating:

"I've always been fascinated by challenges and I've always said to myself 'One day I really should do a sports game', simply because it's such a genre that's locked in stone – we [developers] know how we do sports games and we don't do them any other way, and that is a real challenge to me. Same with things like, you know, driving games."

I challenge him to make pancakes without using his hands.

Twizlex6510d ago

You know, Peter Molyneux talks a big game, but I generally enjoy what he makes. Some things don't live up to the hype, but I don't think he's ever really made a bad game. I'm interested to see what he comes up with.

Xi6509d ago

Though what he makes I would never consider the "best", he does make very good games. Not only that I don't think i can name one of his games that isn't in someway pushed the envelope.

Black and white had the incredible creature AI, that still stands in the guiness book of records for having the most branching code in a videogame. And Fable provided the first game where a players choices weren't completely predefined, and the first to have them effect not only the player and his appearence but the world as well.

Polluted6509d ago

He's the man. He makes great games, he seems like a nice fellow and best of all, he talks up his games without coming off like a c*cky prick like Jaffe or CliffyB.

Guys I love Jaffe too, but you know it's true.

PwnShop6509d ago

Same, i loved his games. I think the reason why his games are often criticized is because he tries to make interesting, new and never made before games.

Dino6509d ago

He was talking about a hockey game a couple of years back on a g4 show and how he'd like to make one some day.Awesome if it's true.

Shame his games will all be Xbox exclusives.

zo6_lover276509d ago

Maybe not, it would be a surprise

ICUP6509d ago

Wait a little and it WILL be on PC just like most 360 "exclusive".

Twizlex6509d ago

Yeah, it'll probably end up on PC because Microsoft practically owns the PC market also. I just mean that Sony and Nintendo fanboys who refuse to buy a Microsoft product are missing out on some great games.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer905d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog904d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned905d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c905d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb904d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies905d ago (Edited 905d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal905d ago (Edited 905d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72904d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman904d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos904d ago (Edited 904d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows904d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
