I'm guessing it was all far too complicated to even be possible with today's technology, let alone on a console released in 2005.

Pointless peripheral spawns pointless gimmick which is then canned. Not surprising really as you say. The sooner we get better consoles, the better.

I didn't see that statement in the article. Whilst presenting the last demo Molyneux said "There's a lot of huge mountains to climb before that happens. The reason for that is it is enormously contentious for us to do a game, a story, an experience, about a boy. You are immediately appealing to all the dark thoughts of humanity"

Molyneux in over-ambitious failing to deliver shocker? Surely not

So basically it was just a video.

The thing is, the ai wasn't revolutionary - it was all scripted events and a weak illusion. The amount of effort to make a full length experience would never have been justified by the market for the game.

He is just an enigma. He'll be dissing Fable III next September saying it was rubbish and they rushed it.

Fine I'll add "I'm guessing" to my post.

Note the "Rumor"

Don't believe everything you read.....

not surprising really. it was clearly never going to work like that in reality. doubt they ever intended to release it, just a publicity stunt.

Thought this looked quite interesting shame.

Once peter suggested a groin attachment they pulled the project.
