I'm really scared when I go out and tell people what it is they're going to get super pissed off." </p>

I hope he's not going to ditch farting, which became very dear to me.
<br>
So which RPG mechanic he's going to jettison?

Well Fable already pissed me off quite much when I tried to play this piece of shit game so why shouldnt others suffer too?

 

[Droog White Smile]

Since when are we following console exclusive games?

 

[Andhaira]

Fable was such a huge letdown.

 

[Black]

Well gee, I bet if I believed all this shit Peter is saying I WOULD be pissed off.
But then again, who believes him any more?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Well gee, I bet if I believed all this shit Peter is saying I WOULD be pissed off.
But then again, who believes him any more?

Maybe it's reverse psychology. He wants to make sure you actually DON'T get pissed off. Molyneux is a clever beast.

Fable was such a huge letdown.

 

[Krraloth]

Molyneux spoke of finally jettisoning an "insidious, fundamental RPG mechanic."

Yeah he will remove the stats from RPG mechanics.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

I loved Fable. Fable 2 was a letdown, but still fun. I'm sure I'll enjoy Fable 3 for what it is too.

 

[Gragt]

Another subtle plot to have a gimmick pass out as a daring innovation that required deep intellectual process? Molyneux is indeed a very courageous man.

 

[Mortmal]

Easy, i bet it will require the project natal hardware, not just support it . So release delay and you will have to spend a little more .

 

[Luzur]

he will remove swords and rats.

 

[ChristofferC]

I don't care.

 

[Arcanoix]

Peter Molyjew

I stopped reading right there. This fucker never pushed for Fable II to be released on the PC, despite Fable being "rebooted" when The Lost Chapters was released on the PC. He's helped kill cRPGs in this manner, so I've refused to buy any of his products since. Micro$oft Natal? Yeah fuck that.

 

[Castanova]

Maybe he's making it so your character gets worse as the game progresses.

 

[Gragt]

Maybe he's making it so your character gets worse as the game progresses.

That would go against his whole design ideal that anyone playing the game must feel awesome from start to finish, even if you just picked the controller for the first time.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

They're good for what they are, which is fine, but Peter keeps trying to make them sound like they're the next coming of the Spaghetti Monster or something.



He actually thought he needed to send out a pamphlet to reviewers to help them understand how to judge Fable II's awesomeness, because they may not have been able to comprehend its scope.


I wish he'd just shut up and make his games without the bonkers philosophy.

 

[Overweight Manatee]

My bet is on taking away health bars. They already gave you infinite lives in Fable 2, so why go through the whole dieing and reviving thing anyway? Just put some temporary scars to show that the character got hit a few times while defeating opponents. Dieing, even a death with no penalties, is exactly the kind of thing he would call insidious.

An interesting note to take: Even on an IGN xbawkz site the comments are all about how Molyneux is dumbing down the RPG genre

 

[Kaanyrvhok]

You spend a lot of time as a king or queen in Fable so I'm guessing the game is going to be more RTS than RPG especially with Natal.

 

[ghostdog]

The fact that they're making a third installment of that piece of shit would piss me off.

...if I gave a damn

 

[Clockwork Knight]

He's probably going to remove leveling. It would piss off the audience because

 

[Elhoim]

He's probably going to remove leveling. It would piss off the audience because

That pic is extremely retarded... And most probably, it isn't fake.

 

[Elzair]

Maybe he will get rid of levelling-up? Of course, that has already been done *cough* Ultima IX *cough*.

 

[DriacKin]

If he really wanted to piss people off, he would remove achievement points from Fable 3.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Easy, i bet it will require the project natal hardware, not just support it . So release delay and you will have to spend a little more .

Valid hypothesis, since he said he plans to have the player insert his own personality into the game (whatever that means).
