Peter Molyneux's comments or these fanboys comments posted here

Peter Molyneux's comments have more weight

R.I.P. the movies support

Proble Fabe 2 for the the 360. And maybe something new from him.

If MS buys them say bye bye to great Lionhead PC games.

i have black and white, it just wasn't what i expected, no multiplayer, and enemy AI that simply sucks. fun city building though, i am also experiencing some major graphical glitches with the game, texture poping in and out, or stretching into infinaty. just doesn't feel finished or worth full retail price.

It is my belief that only Konami and Nintendo are the only true originators in the industry. Everything else is just a game. Especially EA and their shovelware.

Making quality games as the usual is starting to see a trend for the worse and casual...

job cuts? those are never good...

Well it seems I can't talk any sense into some of you guys (*cough* vitz3 *cough*). Go read my post on page 7 man, come on, the guy's trying. And leave him alone on the stuttering thing! Stuttering is a problem some people have and they have no control over it, it doesn't mean they're any less intelligent.

Besides, at least Lionhead is making good and innovative games, EA is just flooding the market with "Urban" this and "Street" that.

Well, it's always sad when a company has to downsize & people lose their jobs.

I played Fable on my XBOX 360 & it was a fun game.

Burn out and die Lionhead. Burn out and die.

If you guys really wanted to make great games you would string up Pete and let in some real talent. Your games are delayed for no reason at all it seems lately. You delay them to hell but they still end up not delivering on what that bastard Pete says they will be. Take a lesson from Nintendo. Take more time to build up the game and put in the promised features. Nintendo delays their games to give the teams time to make it work, not to edit out the parts that don't.

Don't make promises you cannot keep. Pete.

Leave the biz Peter. Learn sign language if you can't talk properly.

Bring back B.C.!

this guy's a great developer. hope he keeps making great games.

that is very good to hear

I played Fable, I loved the concept yet i beat it in 12 hrs (10 of those hrs being a sat. night) and i was pissed that it was so short. I played black and White 2 which I though was cool with the god powers, but it got repetitive. The Movies I played which I also though had a cool concept but lacked execution however i seen some of the people make movies that were pretty solid.

All I have to say about Lionhead it that their ideas are original but lack the creativity needed to make it "legendary"

AAA? >_< thats not good enough. a good company would shoot for AAAA and beyond!

As long as they keep working on Fable 2.

Prsonally i thought Black n white 1/2 were Great games, i dont see whu some1 would think they are bad. I never tried the Movies since it reminds me of the Sims and I thought fable was a good RPG for the x-box, personally in the PC section it had way too much competition be a succesfull RPG, kinda like Halo on the PC. Anyway, Lionhead make some of the best games, and deffinatly the most original. You're all saying how they floped, but do you stop to think of the 100's of titles EA put out and all this crap celeb games that are focus on some d*ck head that got shot 2359834560945867 times n cant Rap to saves his life.
This company is actually giving us something we all say we want, original content, n when you get it you throw it back up them n say its crap.

Come on guys, lighten up. At least he's trying, and I find his games to be pretty good. Sure, Fable wasn't what it could have been, but It was still a great game. The Movies was an excellent game! Everyone is complaining about the simplicity and lack of power, but go to the The Movies Online and watch some of the user-made movies and you'll see what the game can do. Besides, The Movies is a GAME, it's not high-end animation production software, and it's not intended to be.

Why is everyone still mad at Molyneux over Fable? It's over. Can you not just forget? He apologised, so forgive him. The fact that he even admitted to screwing up on Fable is more than you can say for most other developers. He's got heart, and a passion for what he does, which is why he sometimes gets farther than he can reach. So please, stop pounding Molyneux for not making the perfect game, and just play Lionhead's games for what they are, superb, innovative, and often under-appreciated games. Remember, there's no such thing as perfect, besides, do you realize how much work goes into these games? These guys work all day, and often all-night, to make YOU happy with their game. Take a minute and think about how it must feel! What if you were Molyneux or anyone at Lionhead, putting so much work and thought into a game only to have it crushed by the public for not changing the world. Shame on you guys.

This better mean they get their act together and get cracking on BW3 or an expansion for BW2!!

I can't wait for this game! Hopefully it will be good.

I hope he pulls out in the end...

Damn i hope its fable 2. MS buy them you need more first party games!

The movies was fun for a couple of hours, but I am not surprised it flopped.
The magic just wasn't there.

Towards the end of the game you had to spend 10-15 minutes making one movie at a time. The drag and drop interface, while creative was overdused. Why force your players to manually drop a movie on a PR office 3-4 times to create publicity. It should have just been a button or a slider.
Micromanaging your actors / directors was annoying. As was the stupid decision to severely limit your staff pool. I had to reuse my extras as janitors, and my scriptwriters as film crew. What does that have to do with running a movie studio?

The Movies, as well as Black and White 1 / 2 were funky overhyped experiments, but they were not good games, and I think commercial reality just set in at Lionhead.

He shouldn't have hyped Fable so much. If he couldn't deliver what he said he was going to, he should of just said so.

I'm am officially sick of it. One more dream down the drain of Mr. high-minded, low-results Molyneaux. Shame on me for taking another of his games seriously. Like Sega consoles of yesteryear, sometimes you have to have resist your false optimism and just call it like it is: a lame duck.

PLEASE remake Populous II.

That's all I want.

I'm glad

AAA game? LMFAO.

^^
id have to disagree. all of the lionhead games have been something special. and peter learnt his lesson after fable and stopped hyping his games.

but why?

Peter Molyneux is a hack. Overpromising and never delivers. No talent. Creative yes but no skills to back up his concoctions. The Uwe Boll of Gaming. A Hack in it's purest form. Look at the way he talks. He can't do a straight sentence without stuttering like a dumb ass. Clearly anything he says is a lie if he can't say it straight. Leave gaming to the real guys Pete. Kojima and the others do fine without you. Just quit. Take speech enhancment classes or something.

thats what they get for making half a$$ games. **cough**Black & White 2!**cough** Releasing those games for consoles was a dumb idea.........some people just have no idea.

Peter Molyneux has been in this situation (of sorts) before. He sold his former games company "Bullfrog" to EA and then left Bullfrog. Without Molyneux holding the reigns Bullfrog soon ceased to be.
If Peter Molyneux does sell Lionhead studios to anyone then Lionhead might well go the way of Bullfrog. Peter will leave, no new games will be released, then support for current Lionhead games will cease, and when nobody is looking, Lionhead will go away.
So... enjoy the games you have now, don't expect any sequels and just wait several years for Peter to start a new company, and it starts all over again.

damn that basicly means no fable 2 unlessit will be next (next) gen (aka xbox 720)

Lionhead is the best for coming up with great new creative ideas... not so great with game sales though. Its a shame that intuitive games don't sell and WWII FPS games will sell no matter how much they suck.

Fable 2 is all they should work on anyway if they want it to come out anytime within the next ten years. It should be the greatest if not one of the greatest rpg's or action rpg's with the hardware they have to work with now. It just might take a decade to make.

Job cuts suck!

.... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ...

Lionhead reminds me a little of Troika. Great concepts and ideas., but doesn't necessarily follow through on execution.

Yeah MS should totalt buy lionhead...Or get an exclusive deal with them...Even though more then likly LH's N-G game is probably coming to 360.....BUT GET ~~~~THE MOVIES~~~~ OUT ON XBOX>>>>PLEASE

It flopped because it wasn't edgy. Unfortunately the majority of the gaming public wants blood and violence and sex, to hell with substance! They say.

It's very unfortunate because games with real innovation, substance, and creativity are swept under the rug like they are nothing. That's the problem with the industry, or rather, it's fans. They scream for something mundane and overly violent, thereby condemning the possibility of any actual substance being put in the game. Here's a great example, look at ICO or Shadow of the Colossus, brilliant, innovative games with a disctinctly artistic style and the knowledge that a game needn't be edgy to be good. Now look at something like 50 Cent: Bulletproof, violent, ridden with glitches, hell to play, and yet people are still crazy about it. The same thing is happening with movies, and even books, I remember sitting in class a few years ago, and we were doing a report on Lord of the Flies. When I heard one of the students yell out "Geez! Whoever wrote this book's a f***in' f*g..." Has youth culture become so ignorant and narrow-minded that it can't see past the hormones it's driven by? People need to look past the fact that a game isn't filled with blood and sex and realize that it can still be a great game, or even (Usually in fact) be a much better game.

Okay, my rant is done. What was this thing originally about again?

I find it surprising that the movies flopped so bad, I love the game.

this sucks the movies is cool game

When games like The Movies aren't selling, you know there's something wrong with the state of video games these days.

Stop it. This hurts

i remeber the last time Lionhead hyped a game....

i didn't know that the movies didn't sell

Oh no way man!
