Davis Nayagam Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has told GamesIndustry.biz that the company's next title will be "very, very different" to anything that the iconic designer has made before, and that it is a "ridiculously ambitious" project. Talking in an interview ahead of last week's GC Asia conference, Molyneux revealed that work on the as-yet-unannounced game is already well underway. "We've actually been working on another project now for a while, and obviously it's ridiculously ambitious, but it's ridiculously ambitious in a very simple way," he revealed. "It's a simple and pure idea, and very, very different to anything I've done before. "I haven't said anything about the game to anyone, and neither should I until next year, but I think it'll surprise people. "It's certainly different to what you might think Lionhead would do. Or maybe not, actually, thinking about it, but I think we need look at this industry, and think about who our audience is, and that applies to this new game," he added. The company's current title Fable 2, set for release next month, is one of Microsoft's key Holiday launches. Further details on the new project are unlikely to come before next year.

Bulovski Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Black & White is probably his pinnacle in terms of innovative games. B&W was truly innovative. He presented ideas of collaboration which today would b1tchslap Little Big Planet. Unfortunately he shot off his mouth too much for Fable. If he hadn't spoken much about it, Fable would probably have turned out to be a big hit - but the expectations were too high. Two other games of note - Dungeon Keeper and Syndicate (brilliant game which generated a lot of noise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Dungeon Keeper and Syndicate are really old. I remember salivating over Syndicate in school - so that's about 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
