Developer Peter Molyneux, known for titles als Fable and Black & White is exploring new possibilities for his new title.
In December 2014 it got confirmed that Molyneux is working on a new game called 'The Trail'.
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.
...
Maybe a brand new way to ruin the fable franchise?
Maybe making promise and keeping them.
"Undelivered"
A game whose purpose is to play as a developer who under delivers games to an audience. That way, no matter what you put out, we'll know what to expect.
Cancelling BC was one of the biggest mistakes that idiot (Peter Molyneux) ever made.
BC had the potential to be an amazing game but I think the team was lacking the talent needed to pull it off successfully.
Maybe they should give BC a shot for the XBone.
