Much ado about Crowdfunding – Godus, Peter Molyneux, and Kickstarter/Early Access Expectations

" In the wake of this realization that Godus might not live up to Molyneux’s infamous promises, a number of gaming sites have been vociferously calling him and his studio out while lamenting that this one bad experience might sour people on crowdfunding as a concept. Well we’re not here to do that, and while I’m certainly not going to defend the state of Godus or Peter’s legendary pie-in-the-sky promises, I think that rather than cry refund and play the victim, it’s time we take some personal responsibility and remember that the phrase “Buyer Beware” applies as much to the idealistic world of gaming as it does to buying a new car." - Matt Broitman, HalfBeard's HUD

M.O.A.T

Misleader of all time?

It’s between him and Phil. I’d vote Phil

"It’s between him and Phil. I’d vote Phil"

If Phil were the man that made my life miserable, I would vote for him as well.

Regarding the topic, it could be both Peter and Phil working together.

M.O.A.T takes place in Albion, so it´s possible that Pete is working on new partnership with Xbox, which imo, is nothing but great news!

GhostScholar194d ago

What exactly has Phil mislead about? I can’t wait to hear the verbal diarrhea you come with.

Wait.

His name is still used as a selling point for new games? Seriously?

jznrpg195d ago

If anyone knows his name you have to be extremely skeptical that what he delivers will be anything like what he says it would be and that’s best case scenario.

RaiderNation195d ago

He's like the "Tom Clancy" of video games.

InUrFoxHole195d ago

Lol what the hell man?!?!?

Number1TailzFan195d ago

I remember Black & White (PC) but other than that I can only think of Fable, B&W was a pretty cool game tho at the time.

sagapo195d ago

Populous was another one designed by Peter, released before B&W, godlike game as well, pretty good too.

Giblet_Head195d ago

I quite liked Magic Carpet growing up.

"His name is still used as a selling point for new games? Seriously?"

The guy is a gaming legend for gamers who actually knows and played his games, like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Black & White and Fable for example.

Becuzisaid194d ago

I'm certain that most who actually know who he is would contest your use of legend. He's the living, human embodiment of false advertising.

Obscure_Observer194d ago

@Becuzisaid

There´s an abyss between false advertisement and bad games.

Most gamers will get excited for games from great gaming creators rather than focus on their exaggerated promises.

Kojima described his Xbox exclusive game as "very unusual like no one has ever experienced before, leveraging the cloud." He said all publishers he presented the project, called him mad and rejected his game but Microsoft, because it´s too crazy.

Is Kojima exaggerating? Obviously. It´s gonna be a bad game? Hardly.

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.

Profchaos195d ago

Does Milo live under a bridge there

Captain overseller is returning. Ain't heard his name in years.

shinoff2183194d ago
