  • GDC 2005: Peter Molyneux presentation video

    I know it's a bit late but I only recently ran into this, haven't seen any threads on it here and I'm sure some people will be interested: Peter Molyneux's presentation on this year's Game Developers Conference can be viewed as streaming video here (requires free registration). He talks briefly about game design in the future and demonstrates it using 3 very interesting demos for 'The Movies', 'Black & White 2' (both due this Fall) and 'The Game' (will probably never be released).

    All I can say is: wow, just wow... Especially B&W2 is looking really promising. Of course, his games have not always lived up to their promises in the past, but the demos show that much of what Molyneux promises already exists today, which wasn't always true before. Plus, he's working together with Peter Millar, of Warcraft fame, and the Blizzard people are usually as reliable as Swiss clockwork.

    Between this, AoE3, Civ4, Legion II... the strategy gamer is up for an interesting winter season

    Peter Molyneux is due a huge hit game - i think his heart is in the right place, but i was frankly a little unmoved by Fable(and lets not mention B+W).

    Populas remains my last real fond memmory of his work, so lets keep our gamers fingers crossed for this next lot

      I don't know many of his games so I have no idea what quality they are, but I'm looking forward to The Movies

          I really hope this thread doesn't degenerate into a B & W flame war.

            But it's been a very long time since I tried B&W so I don't even remember why it sucked

                  B&W was one of the worst games ever.
                  I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                    I happened to like B&W, maybe because I basically ignored the creature and just played it as a city builder sim game.

                    B&W2 certainitely looks good. It'll be nice to be able to turn the creature into a mindless slave.
