When I saw this morning that Peter Molyneux had slatedFable 3in order to hype the next one, I almost vomited a rainbow. The fact that he can keep doing this and not get called on his bullshit is astounding. Yep, the Molyneux hype train is ready for another ride!
“I think we tookFable 3and realised it wasn’t quite up-to-date with [the best modern games] and that we need to go forward,” hetold CVG. “But the great thing aboutFableis there’s nothing quite like it out there. There’s nothing wrong with FPS games, but they are what they are — their currency is what they blow up. Our currency is this beautiful charming dramatic world that has different things in it every day.
“I have a very clear idea whereFablewill go in the future. Trying to be diplomatic, I think that whatever we do next withFable, we should just amaze people with the quality. If we go on, we’re not just going to make anotherFable, we’re going to make something that stands head and shoulders up with anybody else out there – the best of the best — in terms of its technology, its drama and its storytelling.”
Sound great, except Molyneux said the same thing twice before. First, heslagged offFablewhen promotingFable 2, then he saidFable 2wasn’t all that hot butFable 3would be the best. Now, like f*cking clockwork, he’s at it again.
you’re able to’t play this game forever, Molyneux. Soon more than just smart people will see through it.
