Peter Molyneux will be “shocked” if someone buys the £50,000 diamond chisel for his upcoming ‘experiment’ Curiosity. The game designer made the comments while speaking at BAFTA’s Games Industry Question Time, and says the most amazing thing awaits at the centre.
Project currently codenamed MOAT.
Imagine a game where Peter Molyneux presents an extraordinary set of ideas that players will enjoy for years to come. Now imagine that this particular game will come out because it will never exist.
One of the biggest reveals at this year's Xbox Games Showcase was the latest Fable trailer. After a lengthy stint of silence, Playground Games gave us a look at bits of the title, albeit in a trailer that was mostly made up of CGI nonsense headlined by comedian Richard Ayoade, who is playing a rather frustrated giant.
Molyneux asked about what he thought about the Fable reveal.
From GI.biz: "UK developer 22cans has suffered a round of redundancies, GamesIndustry.biz has learned.
The studio, founded by Fable creator Peter Molyneux, has laid off multiple employees, although an exact figure has not been disclosed.
A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, due to a number of factors including projects reaching a certain stage in their development, we can confirm that a number of roles at 22cans have been made redundant."
Doesn’t that always happen with every studio lol? Contract workers for certain stages.
Seriously, what is Peter Molyneux up to these days? In his prime, he was the most famous western developer in the world. Now he's doing f all.
They're not actually layoffs, they're fantastical multi-faceted journeys into lands of unimaginable unemployment giving the worker near-infinite freedom of choice.
He's hoping for handouts. So bad.
Knowing gamers lately, although, I wouldn't be surprised if they ordered a refund for this P.O.S. DLC because what was at the center of the cube didn't meet their expectations.
Molyneux can't possibly concoct something so seemingly wonderful.
I'll be "shocked" if anyone buys his next game.
cant you just hack the game to make ordinary chisels 200,000 times faster lol
What will be inside the cube? trollface.jpg probably.
I'd be shocked if nobody bought it. There's the option there and somebody with too much money and not enough patience will find themselves convincing themselves it's a good buy.
It also wouldn't surprise me if they got a refund as a "goodwill" "this was an experiment" sort of thing.
