Molyneux: Fable 3 Kinect Features Needed More Development Time

During last night's Engadget Show, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux revealed that, despite earlier claims, Kinect functionality wouldn't ship with Fable 3 this October. Joystiq got a chance to speak with Molyneux after the show and asked him to explain what happened.

This guy Is full of false promises.
Ugh I can't stand him!

T9X695760d ago

If you can't stand the guy, why read an article that interviews him?

D4RkNIKON5760d ago (Edited 5760d ago )

How else will he form an informed opinion of why he can't stand Molyneux.. I also think he is kind of a joke and it is because what I read about him.

Godmars2905760d ago

Sadly, because this man is held up as a brilliant example despite never delivering on his claims and promises, people who are sick of hearing from him have to follow him.

Also doesn't help that he puts himself out there so often to make claims and promises. If he would just shut up and make games, talk about them after rather than before the "fact" there wouldn't be as much to complain about.

Christopher5760d ago

I watch/read the articles for hope that one day he will pull his head out of the clouds.

Honestly, this is one of those points. This sentence alone is a huge step down from his usual mumbo-jumbo:

"We're still working on that stuff, we're still adding stuff to it, and, as I said, I think the future for Kinect and Fable is probably bright."

Probably! He said probably!

DelbertGrady5760d ago

It's cool to hate on Molyneux. Nevermind the fact that he's the brain behind such games like Popolous or Syndicate. Ignore the fact that he's a true visionary that wants nothing more than to push things forward. People bash him for Milo yet we don't see anyone else showing the balls to do something similar.

Both Fable games have gotten great reviews and sold very well. Personally I base my game experiences on a game for what it is and what it plays like. Not what visions or promises it's developers were trying to achieve.

"People bash him for Milo yet we don't see anyone else showing the balls to do something similar."

You mean FAKE a presentation with a staged show and claim that it is REAL?

You are right...Dr. Marks does not FAKE presentations...top Sony developers do not STAGE presentations....HE DOES over and over and over again.

Milo is a pipedream...I knew it the moment I saw it...biggest reason is that if giant supercomputers could not do it...how could a glorified web cam do it?

IdleLeeSiuLung5760d ago (Edited 5760d ago )

Molyneux is a visionary. That means he talks a lot about possibilities and "imagine this". Unfortunately, for the few that take it literally gets upset when the possibility does NOT become reality.

I like designers that have a vision and tries new things, but throws out stuff that doesn't work instead of including it just because they can...

You can guys can hate him all you like, but the games he has made are well received and respected!

I bet you they will add kinect capability in future DLC/ updates.

Dylantalon15760d ago

so basically fable 3 wont have bad controls at launch. kinect is rubbish and its a fact.

-MD-5760d ago

Have you used it? No? Then shut up.

Studio-YaMi5760d ago (Edited 5760d ago )

but am about 70% to 83% sure that it WILL suck...pretty hard too ! (based on what we have seen so far from videos and articles from well respected sites)

and as the saying goes..
"Only time,will tell.."

Pedobear Rocks5760d ago

sitting down when they read this.

See what i did thar?

PBR

Pennywise5760d ago

AllroundGamer5760d ago

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows901055d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson1055d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper1055d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam1055d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist1055d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius1055d ago
