Peter Molyneux Is Terrified

Peter M sadly does not live in a world where the tech meets what he wants to do.
If he did, then he would make some pretty great games.
He sadly keeps going beyond what tech allows for and just keeps failing because of that.
Hopefully it works out for him.

"Godus will be the greatest game ever in the history of games! You will be able to play it on all systems, multiplayer with aliens, transcend your Earthly form and reach a higher state of consciousness! You will become... a GOD!"
Yeah... okay, Peter. Have some warm milk and a nice sit down.
Jokes aside, I hope the kickstarter succeeds, he's said this will be his last game, we'll see.

"At this rate, his little routine is insulting. He's starting to dump on Curiosity to hype the next project, just like he pathologically did with the Fable series. He's either a liar, or has the mind of a child, and in either case he needs to not be dealing with the public.
And FUCK the press that act as enablers. Those who try and justify bullshit by calling it "passion" or act like they believe him when he says things like, "Fable the Journey is not on rails." People who keep telling their audience that, this time, Peter really reeeeeally means it -- you're letting him keep doing the same old shit, and neither him, nor his fans, deserve such harmful toadying."

Forgive the cut-and paste, but jim took the words out of my mouth a couple of weeks back. Peter needs to cork it already.

Kojima said the same thing about Metal Gear Solid 2. These guys are worse about retiring than rock bands and their multiple "Final Tour" concerts.AldUK said:
Peter Molyneux has magical powers. I have interviewed the man many times. I have seen him speak many times. I know that there's a big gap between what he promises and what actually happens. And yet I will believe whatever he tells me, every single time. And I will do so happily.
Magical. Goddamn. Powers.
Magical. Goddamn. Powers.
It is because he believes it, he believes that he can make all this happen, and by god so do we!Susan Arendt said:
If Peter M went into marketing he would make millions..
I can't wait for Godus, I am pretty sure it will be the best game ever made. It seems like it will be.
No matter how much we all mock him for over-hyping his games to the moon (and with good reason some of the time), damn you're right, his enthusiasm is downright infectious, and if more people in the industry were at least as enthusiastic as him, we'd be a lot better off.
I always feel like the people who insult Peter Molyneux must be the most terrible people to spend any length of time with. How fucking boring do you have to be to have any hatred for the man? Sure, I'm no big fan of Fable, particularly the last two installments, but I've never seen a man so enthusiastic about his own games, and that enthusiasm has given him more successes than failures.
The man deserves to go out on a high note.

Good, let him be terrified. He deserves it.
Let his terror then be the catalyst to actually make the game happen in the way he wants it to.
Let the terror curb his apparently natural tendency to over-hype everything.
Let the terror make Godus an actually good game.
Then he can have my money, not a millisecond before that.
Because right now he is not worth the investment, he sells games on things that it'll never have.
His terror might help change this for the better, so let him be terrified.
