Calling Peter Molyneux a scammer is rather unfair. He does not set out to cheat you out of your money. He's simply a game designer that once was one of most brilliant talents in the industry, trying to capture the muse again.

It is an undisputed fact that most of his recent projects massively over promised and undelivered. It's an unfortunate truth that his claims cannot be trusted anymore.

That said, there is no malice behind it. Simply ambition that's not matched by ability to deliver.

I keep hoping Molyneux will once again succeed in one of his projects. It would be glorious, and it would shift gaming landscape, just like his old works did. At the same time, I'm no longer expecting it to happen, and certainly not getting invested emotionally or financially in any of his promises.

(Molyneux or not, don't pre-order by the way)

Peter Molyneux is by quite a wide margin one of the biggest bullshitters in the gaming industry lol.

Flashback to that time when he was at Microsoft in charge of selling the Kinect and he tried to make everyone believe that you could use it to hang out with an AI boy.

Just because the idea has never been in a game before doesn't mean it's a good idea.

And here I thought he had finally disappeared from gaming.

Let's be realistic: this is another scam by him. Everyone likes to brush it off as him as dreaming bigger than he can pull off and getting caught up in his own hype or whatever. But no, after you do it enough times in a row for enough decades without deviation, it's hard to deny what it is.

Especially after his most recent game of Godus and all the bullshit from that.

This dude doesn't deserve the coverage this article gave him, and the only discussion worth having is to warn people off of his lies.

It's going to be a science-based 100% dragon MMO.

Oh boy here we go again!

It'd be great for him to manage to pull a rabbit out of his trick hat and make another legend again. Some of his older games are absolute gems, but I wasn't astonished by The Trail: Frontier Challenge which lowered my expectations for his future works. Hopefully his next not-Fable is a fun experience worth playing that brings some solid gameplay to the table.

Oh course he does... It's kind of his schtick isn't it?

Iirc the one time he hyped up something it ended up being this weird mobile game.

Mr Molyneux can I please give you money for a new Fable title or Black & White 3?

Mr Molyneux: "weeee innovation fart noises"

The fact that this dude is still getting coverage is crazy. Remember when he tried that mobile, cube game that was supposed to have some mind blowing reveal once people got to the center?

The thing was so forgettable and a let down that I don’t even remember what it was. Tamper anything this man tries to hype up with a skyscraper sized amount of skepticism.

Peter really should just shut the hell up and release his next thing unannounced.

How does this dude still have money or ability to get funding for his bullshit

Here we go again, Peter?

I love the old Bullfrog games, but the man hasn't done anything decent since the Black & White games. And he keeps lying about his projects.

"Every part of me wants to tell you everything about it"

Please don't Molyneux, please don't.

Peter moleyneux the same Peter molyneux that promised a game changing experience with the release of fable? I’m not going to hold my breath for this

Realistic pooping, in a game?

Well of course we haven't seen it yet it's still in that box over there

That was interesting, I ended up reading the wiki entry for 'Curiosity: What's in the Cube?' (having never heard of it) and that is one wild ride. Sucks that he didn't quite follow through with the promises for the winner / Godus game, but the concept is amazing

Oh christ! Not this fool again

Oh we gonna get to play a NPC.

What Molyneux did say, however, was that this all-new mechanic would be part of a more "familiar" environment that was "more like a kind of Fable, Black and White, Dungeon Keeper kind of experience".

Does he know what kind of a game he's making? That seems like 3 wildly different game styles...

And he did so for the millionth time nonetheless!

Populous Redux

He makes fun games, but he over-promises beyond his abilities. Ignore the hype, play the game when it’s marked down.

Holy crap he looks old now. The last picture I saw of him he had a full head of hair.
