VG247: "Bullfrog founder, 22 Cans lead and all-round games industry hero Peter Molyneux will open PAX Prime with one of the event’s famous Storytime sessions."
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.
No pete. It is too soon. Go and make a game, which includes all the ideas you have in your head. If that is well received, then at least a couple people might listen to what you have to say. You are not well liked at this point, and could use an image make over.
Oh god.
At least he's not announcing another crappy Fable game.
If he promised to keynote PAX Prime, there's a chance he won't show up at all.
It's his way.
I'd love a remake of Populous though.
