Lionhead's Revolutionaries: Abe Lincoln, Aristotle, Emma Goldman
Lionhead's "revolutionaries" countdown site continued over the weekend, with Abe Lincoln, Aristotle, and - today's revolutionary of choice - Emma Goldman.
Maximilien Robespierre [http://www.lionhead.com/] as #5. Now, over the weekend, the site went through #4, #3, and #2:
Numero Quatro was good ol' "Honest" Abe Lincoln [http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/15/lionheads-third-gamescom-teaser-is-abraham-lincoln/] - an odd choice, to be sure, since he wasn't known so much for instigating a revolution as he was for suppressing one. Quoteth Lincoln: "Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward."
Number Three was famous Greek philosopher revolutionary [http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/16/aristotle-is-lionheads-fourth-gamescom-teaser/]. Aristotle was the tutor of famed conqueror Alexander the Great, and his quote reflects this: "He who is to be a good ruler, must have first been ruled."
Today's revolutionary - Number Two, for those of you keeping track at home - is certainly fits the bill [http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/17/emma-goldman-is-fifth-lionhead-gamescom-teaser/], as a prominent figure in the anarchist movement in the early 1900s. "If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution."
We're left wondering who will be tomorrow's #1 revolutionary (my money is on either Lenin or the big J.Christ, depending on how pretentious Molyneux feels like getting), as well as "what the hell this is all counting down to?" Members of our community have guessed Fable 3, but announcing a sequel is hardly revolutionary, even by Lionhead's standards. Project Milo would have fit, if we hadn't seen it at E3.
I guess we'll just have to wait and find out Wednesday at GamesCom.
