Being Peter Molyneux 21
simoniker writes "Gamasutra has an interview with Lionhead's Peter Molyneux up, in which he discusses next-gen technology choices, his troubles with the press, and his overwhelming drive to succeed, as well as some new thoughts on Fable 2. On his press difficulties: 'I've come to realize that the way I speak, the things I talk about are going to be interpreted. And that sometimes leads to misquotes, and that sometimes that can be frustrating, but for example — the talk I've given today, there's nothing for me to point to onscreen — I'm just giving you a braindump of my ideas. And half of that — half of the interest of that is the interpretation you put on it in your own mind... I'll be absolutely honest with you, sometimes in the past I've actually changed little bits of the game to match the misquote, however insane that sounds.'"

Well, golly, Pete if you're tired of people expecting "10 times more than they don't expect" then don't build your games up that way. And point

I expect it to run on the Wii.
Otherwise I won't buy it.
Right now I've got a Gamecube, an xBox (bought to play Fable), and a PS2. I'm buying a Wii, but not the other game consoles.
Want my money? Port it to the Wii and let my shoot those darned annoying faeries in the frickin head!

Oh man. I love that the author DID include that quote.
I love PM games. They are always inventive and fun, even if they don't come close to the hype generated. If you ignore the hype, and just take the game for what it is, it's fun. Populous, B&W 1, Fable...
