[General Discussion] PETER MOLYNEUX IS A GENIUS

Peter Molyneux took some time out of his rigorous schedule of developing treatments for AIDs and making peace in the Middle East to tell Computer and Video Games about how he's going to revolutionize gaming!

Quote:

Calling for combat to become 'dramatic, varied and innovative' Molynuex said that gaming could learn a lot from movies and went on to show some scenes from Kill Bill, where Uma Thurman slaughters the 88's in a welter of spectacular one-shot violence. Molyneux said he believed one sword blow should be enough to kill in a game and he thought that if designers adopted a 'one-hit one-kill' system it would intensify the combat and the drama to unprecedented heights.

Hahaha, like Super Mario Brothers! Killing koopas with a fireball is gaming goodness lost to the ages. Critical Hits, what are those?

Quote:

Molyneux also pondered the fact that he reckoned 80 per cent of gamers only ever really used one button at a time, suggesting that new developments in game context sensitivity would mean that a single button press could be assigned to many actions.

A context-sensitive input command? Golly. Maybe they'll call it something really cool, like the "Use Key."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

He got where he is because of Bullfrog. It's no coincidence that all of his "games" have been failures since he sold the company.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So when was it uncool to feel outraged about being lied to, exactly?

Skexis Popular failures, maybe, but received well by most people who actually played them.
...Is there something you'd like to get off your chest, brady?

Nothing that millions of other gamers haven't. Molyneux's titles have taken a big dip in affect since he sold Bullfrog, not necessarily because they're bad games, but because they never live up to the massive level of hype he builds up for them. "Oh we didn't have enough time to actually make Fable an RPG."

Excuses excuses.

People are disgruntled about this shit because he's passing off old-hat ideas as if they were a modern Athena springing forth pre-developed from his massive cranium, praise be to Molyneux. People don't like Molyneux anymore because he's a liar.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
