@@jasoncropley5334 I tried to replay those games recently, but found that my memory of them was rather rose-tinted. Maybe just my expectations that have changed, but by contrast Populous is still amazing, for all it's old-school jank. EDIT: Looking at a list, everything he was involved with in the 90s was amazing. That made me a bit sad.
Reminds me of Gabe Newell's "Moss will grow in real-time around you if you linger." Except with him, he always made it clear that was just his ambition, it was never a promise.
Actually playing Fable and realizing how mediocre and forgettable it was did it for me. And I don't believe Fable fans who like that game still. It has to be nostalgia. Play it again and see for yourself.
"Just like Fable you can go explore down that path." I don't think this guy wants to use Fable as an example of a free, open world, when it had a handful of predefined, closed pathways and nodes. Against everything he promised in his day.
I think he has a severe case of nostalgia. He remembers things to be prettier and more feature-rich than they were. He hasn't replayed any of his games in years because he's scared of the illusion shattering.
I remember reading the previews for "Project Ego" in video game magazines when I was a kid and thinking it was like the most hype thing ever. Boy was I disappointed then Fable came out. Not a bad game but it was a shadow of what was promised.
My personal opinion is that Molyneux got EXTREMELY lucky in life. He found himself surrounded by tallented and passionate people that wanted to make great video games, but didn't want to be in the spotlight, he got all the credit for the work of entire studios and as soon as he got to that point and got all the freedom in the world to design games completely on his own, we saw his true potential.
@@mrfenandes interesting comparison. Never heard anyone say Ricky Gervais is not good comedian. I do think he gets sole credit for the creation of The Office while it was probably more of a team effort between him and Stephen Merchant or whoever else was involved in the creation of the series. But he does funny stand up. Idk man, looks to me like you have a personal problem with Ricky and I bet if I looked up your comments, you probably have similar attempts to equate him to all other actual scammers :D
@@WobblesandBean this is a statement without any proof. An observable fact is that people go to his standup shows and laugh their asses off. He even had Hollywood actors laugh at his jokes about themselves. So far you've only said the equivalent of "I don't like Ricky Gervais!" which is cute and all, but means nothing to people who are not your relatives or close friends. I also find it kind of strange to get into discussion about Ricky Gervais in the comment section under a video about Peter Molyneux.. do I sense the same kind of personal problem with Ricky Gervais? :D
Peter Molyneaux and David Cage should team up and make a game. Not only would it be overthought and badly designed but it could also be poorly written with an obvious twist. Truly the best of both worlds.
I'm not at all saying Kojima is a bad game designer, I'm just saying...imagine Kojima and Cage co-writing a story. Imagine the likes of Death Stranding mixed with Omikron. God, I want it so badly.
I worked on a Peter Molyneaux game many years ago, he's not a bad guy but yes he over promises. He recognized it back in 2004 and wrote a post about it on either Big Blue Box or Lionhead forums. I admit that when I saw him on stage, I thought to myself, 'Here we go again...'
As a 90's kid, I used to look up to Molyneux and I remember seeing him on an episode of 'Game Gods' (a television show that featured other prominent figures like Hideo Kojima and John Romero). I had an absolute blast playing Black & White (1 and 2) and Fable (the 1st one) when I was a wee lad. It's sad to see how far Molyneux has fallen in the past few decades -- I'm pretty sure he's completely lost his marbles at this point and urgently needs professional help.
"Why would anybody buy it ?" is the question every NFT games fail to answer and yet is the most important question you need to answer when trying to sell ANYTHING.
He paid money to show that game. They're all paid slots. Molyneux should not be taken seriously by anyone for any reason. He started his career an abusive douche, spent most of his career a raging narcissist who would make shit up on the spot when giving speeches that would send the dev team into a tailspin as they tried to scramble to get his off-the-cuff game design choices into the game in some form. He's now had several opportunities to make his "big game" without any corporate interference and objectively they were unfun exploitative money grab attempts.
What do you mean? He already created his magnum opus. Curiosity what's in the cube is literally all he's ever wanted. People giving him money to willingly subject themselves to his experiment with a vague promise of a reward.
@@jonahfalcon1970 I mean this in all earnestness. If I can break you of one delusion, it's the single creator auteur on these big games that had 20-100+ people working on them. With few exceptions, almost every game (especially those you mentioned) are all creations of many individuals working together. While I don't diminish Molyneux's contributions to his earliest games, he was a part of their success and not the only reason they were successful. Look through the credits of those old games sometime.
@@DesignerDave Um... all of those games would not exist without him. Period. End of story. Incidentally, you're wrong. Let's examine Populous: Original Concept: Peter Molyneux Game Design: Peter Molyneux, Glenn Corpes, Kevin Donkin, Les Edgar Programming: Peter Molyneux, Glenn Corpes Game Graphics: Glenn Corpes, Andy Jones, Sean Cooper, Dan Wheeler Game Music and Sound: David Hanlon Seems a little less than 20 people working on the game, and only TWO people programming the game - Peter and Glenn. So... yeah. Take your strawman and shove it where the sun don't shine.
I will never trust anything this man says for as long as I live, and I mean that as a complement to his speaking skills. He does so well at sounding so right, so well at sounding like he knows what he's talking about....he must be avoided at all costs.
I get what you're saying, but I feel like his reputation heavily plays into it, it's not just his presentation skills. Definitely agree that he's an excellent orator tho.
It is possible - Cities Skylines 2 already does it: People living downwind from industrial areas will get sick. I still don't believe it will be in Molyneux' game until I have actual proof.
Populous 2, Syndicate, Dungeon keeper... those were the days. Will never forget playing Populous 2 over a null modem cable with a mate growing up. Trying to drown his heroes and unleashing volcanos in his cities.
@@indivestor They are referencing a recurring gag from the Charlie Brown comics/cartoons. The character Lucy will hold an American football and encourage Charlie Brown to run up and kick it, only for her to pull it away at the last second and make him fall down. Charlie Brown will often point out that she's tricked him before, but she's always able to convince him that THIS TIME she's not lying to him, before doing the exact same thing she does every time.
Pretty much. The people that support Petey aren't really gamers; they just "play whatever is popular" because their phones told them so. Same people whom bought NFL and NBA games. Same people that bought Borderlands again and *again.* It comes down to convenience, people could go out but playing games at home is much easier and has a lower cost once you've passed the entry barrier (PC's needed monitors, Consoles needed TV's, buying the actual game) it tends to give out oodles of entertainment while people get used to that convenience.
Wait wait wait, hold up, stop. This is the same Peter who said to never speak with journalists again, and never publicly again? You know, after he was called out by a few journos for his consistent and continuous lying after Godus and the player who never received his prize? That Peter?
When I saw him return, and using the Fable fan-trust to push another lie I was in disbelief.....then reading chat on the Masters of Albion reveal saying: "Good game" "Def gonna buy" etc I was floored and thought they were placed bots/bad actors.....It's insane people are about to fall for this. And to think Geoff gave him an audience over others that deserve it...
Geoff is a sociopath. The dude has Jennifer Shuerle on his future class list, a trashy chick of ill repute who has made verified false accusations against male devs and she's been fired from multiple studios for being abusive to her FEMALE coworkers when she's a self proclaimed feminist. She's also a member of Riot Kitchen who provide support services to Antifa. Geoff is a virtue signaling money grubbing con artist.
@@unbearifiedbear1885 Can you imagine that both are true? Just because he used to make incredibly influential games in the 80s doesn't mean he isn't a scammer in the 2020s
Microsoft or anyone else cannot own the name 'Albion' as it is the earliest known name for Great Britain. That is why he can use that name for his 'world'.
I always had a distinct lack of trust for Peter Molyneux when I read years ago about how he set up his game studio. He states that he created their first game whcih flopped (iirc) and it was only after a company got in contact to offer them some subcontract work that they managed to get somewhere. The company in question made a mistake thinking that Molyneux's company was someone similarly named, and Molyneux decided to not tell them. Of course since then he did luck out and create some damned good games under Bullfrog but it seems ever more apparent he either had little to do with this or lucked out. As whenever he exerts control he's a fabulous liar and a disaster. Nobody should trust him so I don't understand why the games industry still do.
Peter Monlyeux reminds me of the trajectory of some decades old bands, they either quit drugs and hence go into Christrian Rock, or realize they no longer have the same fan base and go into Christian Rock 🤣🤣🤣
It's the classic Molyneux Cycle. "My last game was rubbish, I feel awful for letting you all down. But my next game will be the best thing ever made!!!"
Sean Murray is what Peter Molyneux thinks he is. Atleast in Sean's case. He screwed up. And devoted both years of his life. And a literal honest to god fortune to making things right. No one has any ill will towards Sean. He's went above and beyond with NMS at this point. Ol Petey, is the kind of guy who thinks that seems like a lot of effort. Why not just lie more? And harder? If a project fails. He just abandons it and starts over. The difference is. Both men got swept up in their own hype. Said some silly things. Told some lies. Made fools of themselves. But only one of them actually felt bad about it afterwards. And tried to make amends.
"You can explore it as anyone", "as a chicken" - officially confirmed. You can NOT play as a chicken. Anytime he mentions this shit, it's shit that never makes it in.
I remember reading about Fable in a Game Informer magazine, when I was 14 or so. It sounded too good to be true even to a hopeful kid. That’s the first big game I intentionally avoided and I will always remember the experience
While many remember Peter Molyneux for Fable games, I remember him from Bullfrog Entertainment for Magic Carpet games, one of my favorite on MS Dos era. I wish he would revisit Magic Carpet for modern PC's a full remake
That's like saying Bill Gates made Halo. Workers and designers made that game. Not Peter. But people love the auteur so much they'll believe otherwise. This is exactly how he makes you all suckers.
Peter Molyneux had, according to many reports, little to do with the way Magic Carpet turned out - it's one of the very few Bullfrog games where he was neither a developer, lead nor a designer.
The funniest part: Peter has more than enough money since the day he sold his soul to EA, so he didn't have to do his 2 decades long tour of lies at all and could have just fucked off into the sunset.
Might be weird, but i dont think its about the money to him. Rather, he seems like the kind of guy that wants to be part of something big so he keep starting these larger than life projects and abandoning them as they dont pan out to be nearly as amazing as he wanted. There might be an element of greed to it, especially as hes been full on into crypto and NFTs, but that could also just be another way that he keep chasing after that unicorn.
Peter Molyneux could have become the CEO / President of both Microsoft and EA and he chose to dip because he was into making games. He WAS the Vice President of EA. I don't think you quite understand just how high he got in both of these companies without really wanting to. Hes the worst possible person to use as an example of someone who is in it for just the money.
Awww the guy who lied through his teeth for several decades and gleefully took shovels of money fully knowing what he was going to deliver was nothing what he promised is *SAD* how tragic lets wait a moment for him to wipe away his tears with a 100$ bill. Seriously hes a slimy used car salesman of a man
It's crazy thinking about how respected Pete would be if he just never spoke. Many of his games are really good, but really good was never what he promised
One of my friends at university was in a game jam at some point, which had a cash prize of £500. The event was being run by Peter Molyneux. My friends team won the prize, and Peter never paid them lol. He is just a straight scammer.
Of course he gets to show his latest shitty project at a gaming show - it's no different from all the big studios showcasing how they're gaslighting their fans and milking whatever their most valuable franchises are by running them into the ground, after all.
It's absolutely not true that games don't fly under the radar! There are tons of indie games that go totally unnoticed. I am pretty well informed about new and interessting indie releases and I _still_ stumble upon am absolute gem once in a while with almost 0 presence online. If the game wasn't noticed by a big streamer/youtuber it can absolutely fail despite being amazing
it´s absolutely baffling how he keeps getting away with that. when he started overpromising and stealing peoples money and never delivering, people treated him like "oh he´s just a kid at heart, whos imagination ran away with him and it all somehow got over his head. he´s the dreamer type" and now it´s "oh he´s just a kind old man with a passion for gaming, and sometimes this whole game making stuff get´s over his head, he´s gettign on in years and doesn´t feel to well" and yes he´s soft spoken, he SEEMS like a likable guy, and he probably really is, to his colleagues and coworkers. but judge the guy by his actions he knows EXACTLY what he´s doing, he couldn´t care less about you as the actual player. i mean look at the 100s of thousands of hours of work sean murray and his team put in to make it right. he must be kicking himself when he sees molyneux just say "oh f+ck it, who cares" and move on the next thing as if nothing ever happened over and over and over.
LMFAO NOT THE DARKER FUCKING ROOM i swear i saw a comment of someone complaining that kira turn on some lights or turn the brightness up or something and idk if that was the video before but that made me laugh
he‘s gonna pull one on us and the next video is him sitting in a completely dark room with just the light from his monitor. 😅 Edit: I do have to say, though; this looks cozy af!
I wouldnt say his entire career. He didnt 'need' to make fake promises before. He was a total legend. Syndicate and Populous blew our minds. He comes across as a follower now but its really the other way around. Not defending any recent greed ofc.
Watched onl, saw him go on stage, heard Geoff happily announce him and later heard people clap... I thought I had a glimpse into a parallel universe where the last 10+ years and everything he did/said in that time span didn't happen.😅
@@WobblesandBean Also true. I wish they would release the source code of the game to the public domain rather than sit on it like a hateful ass. If I can't finish my game no one can! I supported the game at the level to secure two game licenses. That's how much I wanted the game to come out based off of past games and work he did. He's forever the Prince of Lies to me.
About the grandfathers of the industry not mattering much anymore. It reminds me of a scientist who once said: 'As a successful scientist, you are lucky to have one brilliant idea in your whole career that has been picked up and you are recognized for'. Maybe it's the same in gaming. It's hard to be brilliant, life channing and successful all the time.
I mean, didn't he start out on a lie? Wasn't his company for delivering beans but he mistakenly got invited to a video game company and asked to work on a game for them, and leaned into it? He's learned through experience that things generally go well for him when he lies
new game looks like a remake of black&white using the technology of the time I wander how much of masters of albion is mostly made from assets taken from games funded on patrion but never dilevered rather than just from legacy
When I think of Peter Molyneux I'm reminded of the time Elon Musk held a press conference to announce he wanted to make a robot workforce. Not that he had invented a robot workforce, just that he wanted to. He got up on stage and asked to be praised as a genius for coming up with the idea. The problem is that everyone has had that idea. The term robot was invented by a Czech playwright 100 years ago to describe an automated workforce. But Musk thinks he's a genius for wanting it to be made. Molyneux has been pulling the same move for decades. He was called a genius for making a game where you have the power of a god. He wasn't called a genius for wanting to make a game where you have the power of a god; He was called a genius for having a vision for the completed game and the path to make it happen. He didn't understand that. He thought he was a genius simply for having the idea of a game where you have the power of a god. Like Musk, he thought he was a genius for the wanting, not the doing. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where the world remembers every action you take. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where the characters act like real humans. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where the whole world works together. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where players get paid for playing. Bitch, everyone wants those things! What would make you a genius is knowing how to make them happen. Pretending to be the first person to want something doesn't make you a genius. Actually making that thing happen makes you a genius, and he just doesn't get that.
I still remember being crushingly disappointed by Black & White, an early object lesson in the pitfalls of pre-release hype. I also sincerely doubt Molyneux was actually the driving force behind Bullfrog's sucesses - but he was definitely narcissistic enough to start to believe it of himself. God bless John Walker I say.
The story of Peter Molyneux is wild, he got into game development after he accidentally got sent a development kit for the original Amiga by mistake, instead of sending it back and owning up to not being a developer he learned how use a computer and and program for it in a number of weeks after seeing how much they would pay him to port games to the system. Obviously he is pretty intelligent to be able to do that. His previous line of work was importing stuff, nothing to do with computing at all, it's impressive But he was always massive bullsh'tter, he faked it 'till he made it. Imagine if he teamed up with Sean Murray, I would love to see it.
I think that might be why he made it big: you know the saying about everyone knowing sth is impossible, and then comes along some guy who doesn’t, and just does it? Maybe he was always throwing around outrageous ideas, but because he didn’t know how hard it would be to implement it, he employed actual designers and they made it happen in some form. So he kept on just throwing bigger and bigger ideas, sure that his team will just magic it into existence. I’ve sure heard of bosses like that.
Why do old legends of the games industry always take such stinking dumps on their own legacy? Inflated egos? And between Tencent giving themselves an ecological award on a show where 100% of the ads are owned by them and Molyneaux getting a platform to dab on everyone like this, Keighley really took a dump on his own legacy himself, too.
At this point, I wouldn't credit Peter with making or releasing anything but hot air. The studios he served as a figurehead for employed lots of talented, motivated workers. They should be credited instead.
My theory is they did this presentation to demonstrate there is someone trying to hold him in check. The checking with an associate (or as you put it, handler) was probably planned, if not scripted, so that they can tell potential investors and publishers that reasonable minds are keeping him in check.
Moly was satisfied making good games in the 90s and always delivered. He also did make the best games ever, his hit rate in the 90s is 100%, in fact the top 5 games of all time could very easily just be his games.
You know despite his reputation I missed him. Peter had a earnest energy to him that I miss in modern hyper corporate gaming. I never got the impression that any of the Fable Games were scams, and I got a impression he really did want to make the games that he promised... just the technology was never there, or he and his studio lacked the talent to create what they wanted. I put much of his over promising down to over enthusiasm rather than traditional overly inflated promises to get funding. I'll 100% say he almost always failed to meet his promises, but there is something to be respected by the ambition: if only a bit. He actually used to make me excited for games, unlike most modern developers.
The interview he did with Rock, Paper, Shotgun a while back is amazing (referenced as '10 years ago' at 27:16 google 'Peter Molyneux liar interview'). Literally starts off with 'do you think you're a pathological liar?' and gets better from there - and this is BEFORE his NFT scam game
"I've learned my lesson to not talk too much about things that aren't made yet. That being said-" *Proceeds to talk a whole bunch about things that aren't made yet*
''haters are affecting my mental health so im disabling comments'' buddy, thats not mental heatlh issues, thats an inability to take criticism. youre not depressed dude, youre just a narcissist.
I still have nostalgia for the Fable series but anything Peter is involved with will go the same route as everything else he’s ever been involved in. Overhyped, overpromised, lies, and MAYBE a decent game. He got lucky for a long time that he had good devs for some of his old games but nowadays he will never get those great talents back.
23:26 "And convinced him to make a trailer" - Calling it now. They don't have a game yet, and they just made up a trailer of things they hope they can eventually implement, like Anthem.
Every time I see how a developer or a director of 90's games, who is back it tends to end up in failure, there are a few like Sakaguchi/ Kojima or Cerny (Final Fantasy, Sonic 2, Ratchet & clank or Death Stranding, The engineer of PS5)I am glad that Dan Geisler decided that he couldn't make a Road Rash successor, because I feel like it would have turned out in a mess. so much has changed in this industry.
"...but the economic model doesn't, in my opinion - and I'm not a person that deeply understands it - but doesn't really work financially, or in gameplay terms." -- so he made a game he didn't even really understand at its core. Great way to alert people to steer well clear of the current one he is trying to hype(as if we even needed it).
As far as the world name stuff goes, "Albion" is just an archaic name for Great Britain in the first place. There's a game called 1995 just called "Albion" and an active MMO called Albion Online, so it's hardly as if Fable owns the rights to use that name for a game world.
Mol-Lie-neux. This guy makes Star Citizen look legit. Literally every project involves him lying, making excuses when it comes out as a shell of what was promised, slinking away, then returning with a new project while trashing the last game and assuring "this time it'll be different" - process repeats
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, you're getting silly now. Fool me fourth... okay enough, this is beyond a jo... Fool me five t.... GIVE UP ALREADY Ffs!!!!
As a Godus "never out of Early Access" backer who saw him and the company just pivot into some mobile semi-related game without completing Godus, more like "Moly-nix"
I've been playing Fable 2 again recently. And now this video comes out. I dunno man, the idiots who keep telling me I'm in the matrix are looking more credible each day. XD
correlation doesn't equal causation, coincidence is not causation. The human brain tries to make patterns out of everything, it evolved to do that. It's just happenstance, you're not that important.
Shame he did not just make a new Black & White game, a cute pet god game. No fluff or Crypto, just a cute pet game with fireballs that works on switch.
Honestly I get it. Sir Pete the Cheat here was too late to get into the NFT bullhonkey but then he saw The Day Before and it's particular brand of bullhonkey and thought to himself "Gamers are still gullible, I can still do it! And get away with it besides! " And then proceeds to trot out a game trailer so bad that not even the Xbox bros' girlfriends would play it on their android even if it was friggin free.
The only "play to earn" that works is gold farming. And that's not really something you *want* in a game. It's just something that happens regardless of how hard you try and keep it from happening.
I would like to take this time to remind you that Peter Molyneux started out trying to sell baked beans, got a phone call from a wrong number, and lied, pretending to be the company the guys on the line were actually trying to contact in order to get work. He's not a game designer. He's a bean man.
Rather than creating a really good game, I think Peter needs to form a new game development company. Hire tallented individuals, train them, and have them release small-scale hits to build their reputation. That way, when he eventually passes, his legacy will live on through them. Imagine in 10-15 years a Molyneux Studios being up there with CDPR, or Larian Studios.
The Bullfrog/Lionhead days are long behind us and Molyneux has had plenty of chances. If it's good then good for him, but I'm not going to waste any of my time hoping this will be the next Dungeon Keeper or Black & White. Also if you want a good game made by ex-Liohead devs that's based on English folklore and plays like Stardew Valley, Kynseed deserves your time and money.

@@charlodynatimberheart4860 Far Cry 2 also promised that, what was with game devs thinking we cared about the trees in action games?
"You can carve your initials into a tree and then come back and see them after that tree has grown." That's Fable, right?
Didn't he also say your character would grow old and die and you could continue on as their children? I thought I remembered that but might be wrong.
Actually playing Fable and realizing how mediocre and forgettable it was did it for me. And I don't believe Fable fans who like that game still. It has to be nostalgia. Play it again and see for yourself.

Star Citizen should hire Molyneux, they would go hand in hand
I worked on a Peter Molyneaux game many years ago, he's not a bad guy but yes he over promises. He recognized it back in 2004 and wrote a post about it on either Big Blue Box or Lionhead forums. I admit that when I saw him on stage, I thought to myself, 'Here we go again...'

As a 90's kid, I used to look up to Molyneux and I remember seeing him on an episode of 'Game Gods' (a television show that featured other prominent figures like Hideo Kojima and John Romero). I had an absolute blast playing Black & White (1 and 2) and Fable (the 1st one) when I was a wee lad. It's sad to see how far Molyneux has fallen in the past few decades -- I'm pretty sure he's completely lost his marbles at this point and urgently needs professional help.
"Why would anybody buy it ?" is the question every NFT games fail to answer and yet is the most important question you need to answer when trying to sell ANYTHING.
Where's my tree that grows up and evolves based on my decisions, Peter? You promised, Peter.
He paid money to show that game. They're all paid slots. Molyneux should not be taken seriously by anyone for any reason. He started his career an abusive douche, spent most of his career a raging narcissist who would make shit up on the spot when giving speeches that would send the dev team into a tailspin as they tried to scramble to get his off-the-cuff game design choices into the game in some form. He's now had several opportunities to make his "big game" without any corporate interference and objectively they were unfun exploitative money grab attempts.
What do you mean? He already created his magnum opus. Curiosity what's in the cube is literally all he's ever wanted. People giving him money to willingly subject themselves to his experiment with a vague promise of a reward.
So, Populous, Fable, Dungeon Keeper, etc are all garbage, huh?
@@jonahfalcon1970it's a work of other people who no longer work with him anymore
@@jonahfalcon1970 I mean this in all earnestness. If I can break you of one delusion, it's the single creator auteur on these big games that had 20-100+ people working on them. With few exceptions, almost every game (especially those you mentioned) are all creations of many individuals working together. While I don't diminish Molyneux's contributions to his earliest games, he was a part of their success and not the only reason they were successful. Look through the credits of those old games sometime.
@@DesignerDave Um... all of those games would not exist without him.
Period.
End of story.
Incidentally, you're wrong.
Let's examine Populous:
Original Concept: Peter Molyneux
Game Design: Peter Molyneux, Glenn Corpes, Kevin Donkin, Les Edgar
Programming: Peter Molyneux, Glenn Corpes
Game Graphics: Glenn Corpes, Andy Jones, Sean Cooper, Dan Wheeler
Game Music and Sound: David Hanlon
Seems a little less than 20 people working on the game, and only TWO people programming the game - Peter and Glenn.
So... yeah.
Take your strawman and shove it where the sun don't shine.
I will never trust anything this man says for as long as I live, and I mean that as a complement to his speaking skills.
He does so well at sounding so right, so well at sounding like he knows what he's talking about....he must be avoided at all costs.
I get what you're saying, but I feel like his reputation heavily plays into it, it's not just his presentation skills. Definitely agree that he's an excellent orator tho.
Right off, the whole "developing bronchitis from the environment" is just reeking of Molyneux
It is possible - Cities Skylines 2 already does it: People living downwind from industrial areas will get sick.
I still don't believe it will be in Molyneux' game until I have actual proof.
"Everyone please feel sorry for me, because I feel bad for being called me out as a pathological liar and a narcissist." - Molyneux
ain’t nobody got time for that, man!
It would be VERY easy to implement a very basic version of that after saying you already have it, but i don't trust him to bother
Yeah even if its implemented.... Do i want such bs in a game?
Populous 2, Syndicate, Dungeon keeper... those were the days. Will never forget playing Populous 2 over a null modem cable with a mate growing up. Trying to drown his heroes and unleashing volcanos in his cities.

Pretty much. The people that support Petey aren't really gamers; they just "play whatever is popular" because their phones told them so. Same people whom bought NFL and NBA games. Same people that bought Borderlands again and *again.*
It comes down to convenience, people could go out but playing games at home is much easier and has a lower cost once you've passed the entry barrier (PC's needed monitors, Consoles needed TV's, buying the actual game) it tends to give out oodles of entertainment while people get used to that convenience.
"Who doesn't know what [Molyneux] has been doing?" Kids. Kids don't know. They're his target.
Anytime I see anyone specifically targeting Gen Z or Gen Alpha, I know they’re just looking for people who haven’t heard about their scams yet.
Wait wait wait, hold up, stop. This is the same Peter who said to never speak with journalists again, and never publicly again?

Geoff is a sociopath.

What have you done to earn your platform on here?
Microsoft or anyone else cannot own the name 'Albion' as it is the earliest known name for Great Britain.
That is why he can use that name for his 'world'.

I always had a distinct lack of trust for Peter Molyneux when I read years ago about how he set up his game studio. He states that he created their first game whcih flopped (iirc) and it was only after a company got in contact to offer them some subcontract work that they managed to get somewhere. The company in question made a mistake thinking that Molyneux's company was someone similarly named, and Molyneux decided to not tell them.
Of course since then he did luck out and create some damned good games under Bullfrog but it seems ever more apparent he either had little to do with this or lucked out. As whenever he exerts control he's a fabulous liar and a disaster.
Nobody should trust him so I don't understand why the games industry still do.
Peter Monlyeux reminds me of the trajectory of some decades old bands, they either quit drugs and hence go into Christrian Rock, or realize they no longer have the same fan base and go into Christian Rock 🤣🤣🤣
It's the classic Molyneux Cycle. "My last game was rubbish, I feel awful for letting you all down. But my next game will be the best thing ever made!!!"
Good to know that the ages old episode of the Jimquisition still holds true after all this time.
Sean Murray is what Peter Molyneux thinks he is.
Atleast in Sean's case. He screwed up. And devoted both years of his life. And a literal honest to god fortune to making things right.
No one has any ill will towards Sean. He's went above and beyond with NMS at this point.
Ol Petey, is the kind of guy who thinks that seems like a lot of effort. Why not just lie more? And harder? If a project fails. He just abandons it and starts over.
The difference is. Both men got swept up in their own hype. Said some silly things. Told some lies. Made fools of themselves.
But only one of them actually felt bad about it afterwards.
And tried to make amends.

I remember reading about Fable in a Game Informer magazine, when I was 14 or so. It sounded too good to be true even to a hopeful kid. That’s the first big game I intentionally avoided and I will always remember the experience
While many remember Peter Molyneux for Fable games, I remember him from Bullfrog Entertainment for Magic Carpet games, one of my favorite on MS Dos era. I wish he would revisit Magic Carpet for modern PC's a full remake
Magic Carpet, now that's a game I haven't thought about in a loooong time
That's like saying Bill Gates made Halo. Workers and designers made that game. Not Peter. But people love the auteur so much they'll believe otherwise. This is exactly how he makes you all suckers.
I remember him from Black and White.
Peter Molyneux had, according to many reports, little to do with the way Magic Carpet turned out - it's one of the very few Bullfrog games where he was neither a developer, lead nor a designer.
The funniest part: Peter has more than enough money since the day he sold his soul to EA, so he didn't have to do his 2 decades long tour of lies at all and could have just fucked off into the sunset.
So he's like the Elon Musk of gaming then. That checks out.
@@logoninternet Nah, that's too harsh. Musik openly supports fascism and disinformation. Molyneux is just a con man.
Might be weird, but i dont think its about the money to him. Rather, he seems like the kind of guy that wants to be part of something big so he keep starting these larger than life projects and abandoning them as they dont pan out to be nearly as amazing as he wanted. There might be an element of greed to it, especially as hes been full on into crypto and NFTs, but that could also just be another way that he keep chasing after that unicorn.
@@logoninternetno?
Peter Molyneux could have become the CEO / President of both Microsoft and EA and he chose to dip because he was into making games. He WAS the Vice President of EA. I don't think you quite understand just how high he got in both of these companies without really wanting to. Hes the worst possible person to use as an example of someone who is in it for just the money.
Awww the guy who lied through his teeth for several decades and gleefully took shovels of money fully knowing what he was going to deliver was nothing what he promised is *SAD* how tragic lets wait a moment for him to wipe away his tears with a 100$ bill.
Seriously hes a slimy used car salesman of a man
It's crazy thinking about how respected Pete would be if he just never spoke. Many of his games are really good, but really good was never what he promised
Also this crypto shite has to stop
My PC just caught fire. Selfie-Sided in protest.
One of my friends at university was in a game jam at some point, which had a cash prize of £500. The event was being run by Peter Molyneux. My friends team won the prize, and Peter never paid them lol. He is just a straight scammer.
Of course he gets to show his latest shitty project at a gaming show - it's no different from all the big studios showcasing how they're gaslighting their fans and milking whatever their most valuable franchises are by running them into the ground, after all.
It's absolutely not true that games don't fly under the radar! There are tons of indie games that go totally unnoticed. I am pretty well informed about new and interessting indie releases and I _still_ stumble upon am absolute gem once in a while with almost 0 presence online. If the game wasn't noticed by a big streamer/youtuber it can absolutely fail despite being amazing

Never before seen in a game. Here's a list of all the games I've made where you've seen it before.
it´s absolutely baffling how he keeps getting away with that. when he started overpromising and stealing peoples money and never delivering, people treated him like "oh he´s just a kid at heart, whos imagination ran away with him and it all somehow got over his head. he´s the dreamer type" and now it´s "oh he´s just a kind old man with a passion for gaming, and sometimes this whole game making stuff get´s over his head, he´s gettign on in years and doesn´t feel to well" and yes he´s soft spoken, he SEEMS like a likable guy, and he probably really is, to his colleagues and coworkers.
but judge the guy by his actions he knows EXACTLY what he´s doing, he couldn´t care less about you as the actual player.
i mean look at the 100s of thousands of hours of work sean murray and his team put in to make it right. he must be kicking himself when he sees molyneux just say "oh f+ck it, who cares" and move on the next thing as if nothing ever happened over and over and over.
LMFAO NOT THE DARKER FUCKING ROOM i swear i saw a comment of someone complaining that kira turn on some lights or turn the brightness up or something and idk if that was the video before but that made me laugh
he‘s gonna pull one on us and the next video is him sitting in a completely dark room with just the light from his monitor. 😅
Edit: I do have to say, though; this looks cozy af!
It'd be pretty epic lol if his room just got darker and darker, and then he slowly started dimming the video
Molyneux is up there with Bethesda in terms not beliving a word from their mouths/overpromising/under delivering
Somehow, Molyneaux has returned.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of darth Molyneux the wise?
I wouldnt say his entire career. He didnt 'need' to make fake promises before. He was a total legend. Syndicate and Populous blew our minds. He comes across as a follower now but its really the other way around. Not defending any recent greed ofc.
Watched onl, saw him go on stage, heard Geoff happily announce him and later heard people clap... I thought I had a glimpse into a parallel universe where the last 10+ years and everything he did/said in that time span didn't happen.😅
Peter should stop making games and start taking care of his neglected AI child Milo.
Scammer ripped me off with Godus. That was your last chance Peter.
Motherfucker owes me a refund for Godus.
Not as much as he ripped off the poor guy he promised 1% of Godus profits to, as well as a special position in the game he never implemented.
@@WobblesandBean Also true. I wish they would release the source code of the game to the public domain rather than sit on it like a hateful ass. If I can't finish my game no one can!
I supported the game at the level to secure two game licenses. That's how much I wanted the game to come out based off of past games and work he did. He's forever the Prince of Lies to me.
@@xoso599 They would use curse license such as GPL or even AGPL.

About the grandfathers of the industry not mattering much anymore. It reminds me of a scientist who once said: 'As a successful scientist, you are lucky to have one brilliant idea in your whole career that has been picked up and you are recognized for'. Maybe it's the same in gaming. It's hard to be brilliant, life channing and successful all the time.
I mean, didn't he start out on a lie? Wasn't his company for delivering beans but he mistakenly got invited to a video game company and asked to work on a game for them, and leaned into it? He's learned through experience that things generally go well for him when he lies

I wander how much of masters of albion is mostly made from assets taken from games funded on patrion but never dilevered rather than just from legacy
Peter Monleux is one step away from saying "How do you do, fellow young kids?" 😂
When I think of Peter Molyneux I'm reminded of the time Elon Musk held a press conference to announce he wanted to make a robot workforce. Not that he had invented a robot workforce, just that he wanted to. He got up on stage and asked to be praised as a genius for coming up with the idea. The problem is that everyone has had that idea. The term robot was invented by a Czech playwright 100 years ago to describe an automated workforce. But Musk thinks he's a genius for wanting it to be made.
Molyneux has been pulling the same move for decades. He was called a genius for making a game where you have the power of a god. He wasn't called a genius for wanting to make a game where you have the power of a god; He was called a genius for having a vision for the completed game and the path to make it happen. He didn't understand that. He thought he was a genius simply for having the idea of a game where you have the power of a god. Like Musk, he thought he was a genius for the wanting, not the doing. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where the world remembers every action you take. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where the characters act like real humans. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where the whole world works together. He went on to think he was a genius for wanting a game where players get paid for playing. Bitch, everyone wants those things! What would make you a genius is knowing how to make them happen. Pretending to be the first person to want something doesn't make you a genius. Actually making that thing happen makes you a genius, and he just doesn't get that.
I still remember being crushingly disappointed by Black & White, an early object lesson in the pitfalls of pre-release hype.
I also sincerely doubt Molyneux was actually the driving force behind Bullfrog's sucesses - but he was definitely narcissistic enough to start to believe it of himself.
God bless John Walker I say.
The story of Peter Molyneux is wild, he got into game development after he accidentally got sent a development kit for the original Amiga by mistake, instead of sending it back and owning up to not being a developer he learned how use a computer and and program for it in a number of weeks after seeing how much they would pay him to port games to the system. Obviously he is pretty intelligent to be able to do that. His previous line of work was importing stuff, nothing to do with computing at all, it's impressive But he was always massive bullsh'tter, he faked it 'till he made it.
Imagine if he teamed up with Sean Murray, I would love to see it.
I think that might be why he made it big: you know the saying about everyone knowing sth is impossible, and then comes along some guy who doesn’t, and just does it? Maybe he was always throwing around outrageous ideas, but because he didn’t know how hard it would be to implement it, he employed actual designers and they made it happen in some form. So he kept on just throwing bigger and bigger ideas, sure that his team will just magic it into existence. I’ve sure heard of bosses like that.
Why do old legends of the games industry always take such stinking dumps on their own legacy? Inflated egos? And between Tencent giving themselves an ecological award on a show where 100% of the ads are owned by them and Molyneaux getting a platform to dab on everyone like this, Keighley really took a dump on his own legacy himself, too.
Ego
Im suprised "lord British" isnt sueing him over the albion name
When the world needed him least, he returned.
At this point, I wouldn't credit Peter with making or releasing anything but hot air. The studios he served as a figurehead for employed lots of talented, motivated workers. They should be credited instead.
My theory is they did this presentation to demonstrate there is someone trying to hold him in check. The checking with an associate (or as you put it, handler) was probably planned, if not scripted, so that they can tell potential investors and publishers that reasonable minds are keeping him in check.
Moly was satisfied making good games in the 90s and always delivered. He also did make the best games ever, his hit rate in the 90s is 100%, in fact the top 5 games of all time could very easily just be his games.
You know despite his reputation I missed him. Peter had a earnest energy to him that I miss in modern hyper corporate gaming. I never got the impression that any of the Fable Games were scams, and I got a impression he really did want to make the games that he promised... just the technology was never there, or he and his studio lacked the talent to create what they wanted. I put much of his over promising down to over enthusiasm rather than traditional overly inflated promises to get funding.
I'll 100% say he almost always failed to meet his promises, but there is something to be respected by the ambition: if only a bit. He actually used to make me excited for games, unlike most modern developers.
The interview he did with Rock, Paper, Shotgun a while back is amazing (referenced as '10 years ago' at 27:16 google 'Peter Molyneux liar interview'). Literally starts off with 'do you think you're a pathological liar?' and gets better from there - and this is BEFORE his NFT scam game
I was half expecting peter to make one or two small promises and actually learn his lesson for once. Not sure why. Its an actual compulsion

Kira's thumbnail overlay never changes and is always perfect for the subject.
I still have nostalgia for the Fable series but anything Peter is involved with will go the same route as everything else he’s ever been involved in. Overhyped, overpromised, lies, and MAYBE a decent game. He got lucky for a long time that he had good devs for some of his old games but nowadays he will never get those great talents back.
23:26 "And convinced him to make a trailer" - Calling it now. They don't have a game yet, and they just made up a trailer of things they hope they can eventually implement, like Anthem.
"It looks like a fake mobile game" is the best insult. Molynieux really had some huge and influential games. And now he's doing...this?!
Now if we make a game that's actually *like* how molyneux said...
Every time I see how a developer or a director of 90's games, who is back it tends to end up in failure, there are a few like Sakaguchi/ Kojima or Cerny (Final Fantasy, Sonic 2, Ratchet & clank or Death Stranding, The engineer of PS5)I am glad that Dan Geisler decided that he couldn't make a Road Rash successor, because I feel like it would have turned out in a mess. so much has changed in this industry.
"...but the economic model doesn't, in my opinion - and I'm not a person that deeply understands it - but doesn't really work financially, or in gameplay terms." -- so he made a game he didn't even really understand at its core. Great way to alert people to steer well clear of the current one he is trying to hype(as if we even needed it).
I see you AFK'ing a skill in the background there.
As far as the world name stuff goes, "Albion" is just an archaic name for Great Britain in the first place. There's a game called 1995 just called "Albion" and an active MMO called Albion Online, so it's hardly as if Fable owns the rights to use that name for a game world.
I saw something on twitter about Peter saying sorry ....and I thought oh he must have a new game coming out
Mol-Lie-neux. This guy makes Star Citizen look legit.
Literally every project involves him lying, making excuses when it comes out as a shell of what was promised, slinking away, then returning with a new project while trashing the last game and assuring "this time it'll be different" - process repeats

Trash the hell out of the previous project while promoting the current one.
The only "play to earn" that works is gold farming. And that's not really something you *want* in a game. It's just something that happens regardless of how hard you try and keep it from happening.

@@desertdude540 you're right!
@@desertdude540gaming culture, CULT ture.
Rather than creating a really good game, I think Peter needs to form a new game development company. Hire tallented individuals, train them, and have them release small-scale hits to build their reputation. That way, when he eventually passes, his legacy will live on through them. Imagine in 10-15 years a Molyneux Studios being up there with CDPR, or Larian Studios.
Ahhh I remember Milo. What a stunning liar.
Now with friendos back all we need is the main character cats back!
The Bullfrog/Lionhead days are long behind us and Molyneux has had plenty of chances. If it's good then good for him, but I'm not going to waste any of my time hoping this will be the next Dungeon Keeper or Black & White.
Also if you want a good game made by ex-Liohead devs that's based on English folklore and plays like Stardew Valley, Kynseed deserves your time and money.
