Peter Molyneux's Son Begs Valve for Half-Life 3 on Video

[Roofstone]

Oh Peter. Your son will probally go up to be as crazy as you.

...

And I wouldnt have it any other way. <3

Quick question, how is this news?

Have you ever watched a news segment on TV?

They'll open up and they'll have all their super serial stories like "Floods in Pakistan kill thousands" and "Terrorist threat drives city to stand still" at the start and then at the end they'll have "Passing firefighter saves kitten from tree."

This is the "passing firefighter" story. News doesn't always have to be super serious. Sometimes it can just be feel good dawwwwwww~~~

True, I keep forgetting that other people go "awww" over children doing stuff, doubt I'll ever it understand it myself (untill I have children of my own)

 

[JWAN]

Wait...he had a kid?

I feel bad for the mother.

 

[Seydaman]

I think Valve will feel really guilty about this
Then power through and release a demo
I mean, not likely but it would be cool

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Oh my, Valve better hurry up or they're going to break another little kids heart.

[sub][sub]Haha, shameless plug Peter![/sub][/sub]

I love Moleneux. He's got the passion and enthusiasm that I admire, and I find necessary in the gaming industry, especially nowadays.

He's a raving lunatic with illusions of grandeur, but I can't help but his qualities and style.

Keep on raving, Moleunator!

 

[Supraliminal]

Uh, I don't get it.
Half Life 2 wasn't even that good.

A linear shooter with awkward pacing, tedious story and evident lack of style, especially in the level design.

It frequently reminded you it's a game, never giving you a chance to immerse in the world (after the starting sequence, that is)

Maybe my feelings stem from the fact, that I didn't play it when it came out all those years ago.
Time would have hazed my memories for sure.

 

[Seydaman]

As cute as that is, isn't Half-Life 2 an "M" rated game? (I'd have to double check). At the very least I think it's "T". The bottom line is that with the current issues going up before the goverment (Arnie Vs. Free Speech, and ACTA) I don't think it's a wise idea for Peter Molyneux of all people to have their kid pretty much asking for a game rated higher than his age, along with the implication that he played other ones in the series.

Now, normally I wouldn't care, and react like most people... but this seems unusually stupid and irresponsible. All we need now is for Peter to say his son plays Fable 2 to make this an even more ginormous train wreck.

While there are constituonal aspects to this entire thing (ie the goverment regulating is bad under any circumstances, and letting kids have M rated games is the lesser evil to goverment control, ratings are a voluntary service... etc...) the gaming industry and game developers are also trying to show a degree of responsibility, a case for the people not paying attention to the ratings being more a matter of bad parenting, than any attitude or irrespobsility on their part.

It may be a little bad news (By that I mean FOX might do some stupid segment were they act like retards, OH WAIT.) but, what is this kid? 11? That's old enough, I mean sure it depends on the child himself but Half-Life2 or any of the episodes aren't particularly child corrupting, if anything it's a rolemodel. I mean an educated scientists saves the world from an oppressing force, can anyone really argue that our children shouldn't want to be super educated people who save the world?

If someone doesn't aspire to the greatest of great, we'll all settle for mediocre games. Peter wants to make the best game ever, and even if he doesn't succeed he keeps trying.

 

[GahzlyGriffon]

Got to love that hes telling the valve team to get fable3 does he ever want hl3 to be mode or does he want a few more customers?

But yeah i agree weve been waiting a long time HL3 BY 2013?

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Peter may not deliver on his promises most of the time, but he's always been the type of guy I would love to sit down and have a beer with. His son seems like a cool kid, too.

 

[Sebenko]

Can you imagine being Molyneux's kid?

"What's for dinner, dad?"

"The best dinner ever! Interaction and emotion and woooo... here's your day old pizza."

 

[wildpeaks]

Why can't I help but see this as a plot to make some buzz around Fable 3 ? Marketing killed my inner child

 

[JWAN]

Pretty sure he's getting flown to Valve's offices for a Portal 2 preview.

at that age its called "kidnapping" lol

 

[Random Argument Man]

Peter Moylneux: Buy Fable 3!

Peter's kid: GO AWAY!

I cracked up a bit.

Note* I can't get the idea out of my mind that Half-life fans would give the same response.

2nd Note* Aww crap, I just wasted my 5000 post...

I echo these sentiments. Be as frustrated as you like with the end result, the man has passion.

 

[Red Right Hand]

Ah, to be young and ignorant. He's gonna soon have to accept the fate that there will be no Half-Life 3.

 

[No_Remainders]

That's adorable, but it will probably be released when the kid is about 70 years old or so.

Aye; right after "Half-Life 2: Episode.. Never Mind, We're Just Trying To Steal Your Money Now."

I wish Valve would release a proper-length Half-Life game again... Just like, y'know, Half-Life and...

Oh wait.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

The kid was cute, but I laughed my ass off every time Peter stepped in.

"PLEASE BUY MY GAME!!!"
