Peter Molyneux Apologizes for Over-Promising

[Canadamus Prime]

It's Ok Peter. We forgive you. After all, it's better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit. No one will fault you for your over-ambition, and if anyone does I'll give them a good whack with a 2X4.

Peter Molyneux Apologizes for Over-Promising

[ Infamous videogame over-promiser Peter Molyneux wants to apologize for making game features up on the spot to stop game journalists from falling asleep.

He can say that (the then-upcoming) Fable III has the never made a great game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99805-Molyneux-Fable-3-Has-the-Greatest-Cast-Ever]."

Am I the only one who gets a sort of Bi-polar Depression vibe from that?

Bi-polar?
He is Bi-winning, he wins a bit here and a bit there.
Sorry, I just had to.

 

[Dogstile]

Peter, you sir, are insane, wacky, and erratic.

Do what you do best, you amazing person.

<3

 

[Shycte]

We love you anyway.

 

[Carlston]

This is the same man with Black and White obsessed over a gorillas penis in details and graphic modeling the engineer threatened to stab him?

Yeah he's not far from a break down I bet. Peter Sheen?

 

[icame]

Has this guy ever made a game that was even average...

 

[Captain Bobbossa]

Who the fuck decided to give him an award! Fable is shit!

 

[imnot]

I still love you peter!

 

[TheRealGoochman]

I still love Peter Molyneux, and will continue to buy Fable games long into my old man years.

 

[Bloodstain]

I forgive you, Peter. It's okay. We still all love you.
Now give me more Black&White.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Apology accepted Sir Molyneux.

 

[Seydaman]

He still makes hype really interesting
Even if the games aren't the holy grails he makes them out to be, they're still good.

 

[Your Nightmare]

Just lay off of the Fable series.
Lionhead had some pretty good games before that even.
Maybe it's time for a new IP?

A new Dungeon Keeper ;D

*Drools*

I love Molyneux. His genuine passion and enthusiasm for games is nothing short of incredible and his ideas, even the ones he made up and left out, outshine all of the usual grey, gritty, realistic, cold war extension fest drek that the majority of the industry is churning out.

Edit: Says the guy with an ODST for an avatar X_x

 

[Priest of Lies]

What a shame. Ever since Fable the series went into a steep decline. I still have the origanal game and it was much better than the promise of being king was.

 

[Twad]

Damnit, Peter, re make your old Bullfrog games! I can't find them anywhere!

Magic carpet? High octane?

Easy enough to find.

 

[Bobbity]

The funny thing is that we're going to keep swallowing his stories forevermore, because he's so passionate when he talks about his games that it's hard not to believe him

OT: Make Black and White 3, and I'll forgive you.

Who the fuck decided to give him an award! Fable is shit!

Fable 1 was good, and we've been deluding ourselves into buying the sequels ever since

"Sorry - I've slightly over-promised on things on occasion," he understated.

Hah...

Nice.

Yeah I sort of like Peter's attitude towards game promotion, don't get me wrong, it's a huge let down if I'm actually looking forward to them, but he does put out some nice, albeit non-existent ideas out there.
