22 Cans - Peter Molyeux

Stelly · 3 Apr 2012 at 15:47

One of my all time heroes is leaving his second studio Lionhead to start another software house called '22 Cans' I hope that it finds success and will bring such innovation as we seen in Populas, Dungeon Keeper, and Black and White... for more information:

So he's going to have an entirely new studio that will promise the stars and deliver a stale, broken biscuit.

God I hate Peter Molyneux.

is that twentytwo cans or twenty tucans?

McDaniel · 3 Apr 2012 at 16:07

Peter Molyeux just does not deliver, he is a tease; he shows us porn, but when it comes down to the action... it's just not the same

Molyneux has been a forgettable clown for years I imagine this venture will be more of the same.

Kinda like John Carmack for me, may talk smooth and know how to make a game engine, but god forbid he can make a good game with it anymore.

To be fair 99% of what carmack ever bangs on about is the tech. The guys a one person industry bible, his muckers overplay the games that don't sit with everybodys taste.

^ This, flaps his gums no end and delivers a soggy biscuit.

Put it this way, he makes you feel like an 18 year old who spent 3 months plucking up the courage to go to the local Adult shop, and purchase an adult video that looks really good on the cover. After handing over £30 You finally rush home stick it in the VHS and find out its actually cert 18 and censored.

Speaking from experience? lol.

I quite liked Populous, B&W and fable (in that order)

Goates · 3 Apr 2012 at 17:27

Some of the stuff he said about the fable games before release were funny. Like plants would grow in real time in Fable 1, Yeah of course they did Peter.

Bingo.

I smell a Kickstarter page in the not too distant future.

On this occasion though, Peter can kiss my ***, whatever he promises.

It's hard to dislike someone that made Dungeon Keeper...

but not impossible.
