Molyneux's Curiosity Delayed

[frobalt]

I'm curious what is inside it, but not curious enough to actually want to join in the 'fun'.

 

[Nick Holmgren]

They kind of need to put some sub goals in the thing if they want to get people to keep throwing money at this.

Good to see that he's still keeping up his tradition of underperforming now that he's parted ways with Lionhead/Microsoft.

Please tell me that some of the proceeds go to charity.. because if not, the person who spends 80,000 on a diamond chisel should be... well... hated for having so much money to throw around at something so stupid.

If it wasn't for the 80,00 grand chisel, I would be neutral on this project... However, the inclusion of this is just sad.

Though I will not participate, I do want to know the statistical results of this "experiment".

Props to Molyneux for at least trying something new, but his track record isn't encouraging. Black & White was supposed to redefine player engagement, and it didn't. The Movies was going to change player involvement, and it didn't. The Fable series was going to break new ground as an RPG series and, well...

To be fair, From Dust was one of the best RTS since Populous. Even if it was too short.

I really hope this is what it ends up being:

 

[Hosker]

You have to pay money to chip away at it? From that alone, I can see that it's never going to be revealed, and the people that did pay money are going to be angry.

 

[Olrod]

I wonder if the inside of the cube is going to be a game that will actually beta tested before release?

(Fable 2, I'm glaring at you.)

Snip!

To be fair, From Dust was one of the best RTS since Populous. Even if it was too short.

Yeah, way too short. It also seems like the pathfinding system wasn't really designed with deformable terrain in mind, either.
