Peter Molyneux is now hyping the announcement of what features his game won't have

Since everything Molyneux promises doesn't come true, promising we'll hate it is part of the trick.

He'll probably say something about removing the archachic mechanic of stats and leveling in that swarmy british accent of his.


Which would make the games Zelda-lite

I kind a enjoyed Fable:Lost Chapters. It had some charm. The sequel was total horseshit though.

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

If he darred, the world as we know it would perish.

I doubt it's levarling, you have to actually make a good game if you take that out.

Money maybe?

So which RPG mechanic he's going to jettison?

My bet is on plot. In Fable III, you'll be able to buy, steal, kill, trade, have sex, travel, etc. There just won't be a story and a goal to go with that. Why bother ?

So Sims: fantasy? Doesn't look that bad and probably could sell well. Its not like the "LOLPLOT" is good or important in most rpgs nowadays...

Moo?
I'm pretty sure this is a bit of what he's talking about. He spoke at some conference today;



Fable III won't display experience points, Molyneux said. Instead your experience is shown by the number of followers you have, something dictated by your skill as a hero, a combatant, a ruler and a promise keeper.

Forget about a health bar, too. "We made the health bar one pixel and we thought, 'What are we doing man? No one is going to do that. Let's do what shooters do so well and make the world your health bar,'" Molyneux said.




There's also a bunch of stuff about touching people. A lot.

"You could go off earning money, while I go off to kill people," Molyneux said. "It's a true co-op experience."

The key to understanding PM?

Meh, predictable, blah, blah, numbers and gui are so last gen, blah.

Listening to Molyfaux's hype bullshit and all the hopes and dreams of the console kids it inevitably crushes over and over again is more entertaining than actually playing his games.

Eh?

Bwuh??

Wait what.
