People Make Games show Peter Molyneux every game he's ever made [Video - 34:59]
- Thread starter Gowans
- Start date
it has alot of charm but it's also aged badly i think. Probably just skip the 1st one and go to B&W2 instead.
I'll always be grateful for him helping create one of my favorite games, Dungeon Keeper.
Such a unique concept with so much personality, and best of all it was a very well made and fun to play game!
Theme Park and Theme Hospital were also good ones.

Actually I'm pretty sure BC was Sid Meier ;)

That was a good watch. His questionable salesmanship methods aside, I always loved and admired his passion and he had a significant hand in making many of my favourite games of all time, so PM will always be alright with me.
Also, somebody needs to get the Black & White games and The Movies on GOG & Steam asap.

He's so up his own arsehole sure, but he's made some fantastic games. Fable 1 will always be in my top 5 games of all time and I hope Xbox have some in store for the future of the series.
Really good video, right up until the 22Cans glossover. Where were the questions on his output since then...
where were the question on his talking to the media again after that promise. The one where he told different media outlets that theirs was the last interview.

Haven't watched the video yet but People Make Games is a great channel. Chris Bratt deserves more for the work he does
I love Fable so much, Molyneux could call me up right now and promise that he was making a new Fable game specifically for me, and I a.) would believe him, and b.) forgive him when it turned out to be untrue.
Todd Howard could learn a lot from this guy.
It always makes me laugh that my wife is someone who hardly follows actors names etc and simply focuses on the characters and hardly plays games herself yet she know who Peter is because of how disappointed she was with Fable 3. She loved 1 and 2 and after getting shafted with the story progression of three being so messed up that she hadnt saved enough gold for the good ending, she has forever been sad about the franchise since.
But Molyneux did talk about that? He commented that he was stupid by saying that he wouldn't give interviews to the media anymore and that instead he only wants to refrain from hyping up games in development. Not sure what else you want to hear. He also talked about the titles he creates with 22cans and the challenges of appealing to the audience they are targeting.
It was never that good in the first place.
The older Populous 2 has always been an inherently better game.
I will never get over how angry people were at Peter Molyneux.
That Eurogamer interview where the interviewer suggested Molyneux was a compulsive liar was all a bit much.
Fair enough, he over hyped his games and he dropped the ball particularly hard with the making a player a god thing but it seems to come from a place of genuine passion. He is trying new things and I would rather have an industry of people trying outlandish designs and failing than loads of developers playing it safe.

haha, he blagged his way into the videogame industry. Amazing how ge got his start, wonderful story haha
People gently joking about Molyneux's over promising and hyperbolic tendencies were kind of funny when they first started, but It's really shitty how that evolved into vitriolic hatred and mean spirited bullying by an awful lot of people when his "infractions" are so minor compared to so many in the games industry and his contributions so great.
Looking forward to the follow up, "People Make Games shows Peter Molyneux every game he said he was making"!
if you watch the video he acknowledges his past bad behavior and he's in agreement about the reactions of others. he even says his "never going to talk to the media again" was silly on his part.
i still remember the story about him tricking his town mayor with Black and White, where they rigged a scripted demo with an actual hand glove to impress him with some "motion controls".
If thats your operandus modus, its no surprise the world is going to bite back after decades of this kind of lying bullshit.
i say this with utmost respect for the work hes created in the past.
im a bit annoyed they glossed over the bullfrog era so quickly - i was hoping for more commentary for the individual games
Great video. The games he and his team created shaped my childhood. I wish I could go back in time and relive that era.
Black & White and Fable (as flawed as they were) was to me what BoTW is to a lot of younger gamers.

Its crazy how much his studios played a huge part in what I played when I was younger. My dad was big into Bullfrog so when I became of age to understand how to play these games on his computer I became super into so much of their catalog. B&W blew my young little mind as well, even if it isn't very good.
Fable was one of hte best gaming experiences I had, just getting into videogames, I loved it so much. I was incredibly hyped for fable 2 and all t he possibilities, but thats where he lost me. Dont believe his lies indeed.
I wil always be grateful for fable 1 tho.

Totally agree, he made lots of mistakes but will always be a legend and must be respected by the younger generation for all the great gaming memories he gave us for decades.
Totally people need to access themselves for hatred of a person over over promising a video game..... Loved his games when growing up with my Amiga!
Oh Bullfrog, I miss them. One of my favorite companies. Theme Park, Theme Hospital, Syndicate Wars. And they shared the same fate as Westwood, another company I loved: killed by Electronic Arts.
At least, in a way, that still lets me hold them and Westwood in high regard.

Finally watched it.
It was GREAT really really enjoyed it, glad he understands now why the "internet folk" "turned against him".
And great open talk about the industry his career.
Fantastic job on the video great work! :D
