OXM has a great interview with Peter Molynuex. It's a very stark and honest interview with the man behind Lionhead. Some of the interesting things that came up are he wants to deal with the people who exploited the pub game. He's been thinking of making a achievement that says congratulations you cheated. Though I'm not sure if that would drive people away or be seen as a badge of honor?
He also said something I found very revealing about who he was, and who he has become. What Molyneux brought up during the interview about Fable one. "I'm gonna be very harsh on myself. I use my reputation. Now I didn't do this because I'm some PR guru, I did this because when I talk to you I'm a kid showing off my toys at Christmas, that's who I am. I just can't help myself getting excited and saying, 'you've got this and this and this.' And I talked to you lot and I put this game up here [raises hand in the air], and when you looked at it, it was actually there [lowers hand]."
He went on to say he thinks how games are paced for release is bullshit. Granted even he said this is not a new idea. He brought up in one week Fable Two, next Falllout 3 then Gears of War Two. Why not release them in a timely manner? Of coures it's because of Christmas.
I hope you check it out, this is by far one of the most interesting interviews I have read in a while.
