Peter Molyneux Interviews

Lionhead Studios’ Peter Molyneux answers an assortment of questions about Fable, Black & White 2, and the future of gaming in two separate interviews at TotalVideoGames and ComputerAndVideoGames. A snip from TotalVideoGames’ interview:

Q: Your relationship with Microsoft appears to be very cosy; can we expect this to continue on the Xbox 360 or are you looking at all next-gen formats with equal appreciation?

A: Microsoft is a fantastic publisher and is the natural home for Fable and its future. Lionhead is also developing for other formats and so will have close relationships with the relevant parties.

And a snip from ComputerAndVideoGames’ interview:

Q: Do you believe that the next generation of consoles will make PC gaming a thing of the past?

A: Well that is an interesting point, you know. For years there has been a big difference between the PC and consoles and that big difference is online. Consoles have played around with it recently but haven’t got it like the PC has it, but that will change with the next-gen consoles. So that’s one more reason why console games are not unique. The most unique thing PC has is the mouse. Doing an RTS, especially an RTS game, or even in fact a god game on a machine that doesn’t have a mouse is very hard to do. That is what is so interesting about Nintendo’s console Revolution, the new control, as there will be games that you can only do on the Revolution.
