Peter Molyneux teases new project with idea that's "never been seen in a game" before - Lemmy.world

Peter Molyneux is at it again with hyping up his next game as the greatest thing ever made

Calling Peter Molyneux a scammer is rather unfair. He does not set out to chat you or 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 world of old 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)

He’s a great developer and a shitty producer. When he’s in charge of his own projects there’s nobody holding him accountable and it just spirals into madness and then halfway through when all the hard and fun work of really designing the game is complete, and all that’s left is the boring business of production and finishing the damn thing, he just ADHDs off into the distance chasing the next cool idea/design challenge
