Fable Namedropped, “Never Been Seen” Mechanic Teased as Molyneux (Over?) Hypes New Project
Peter Molyneux has a bit of an issue with overhyping things. Make no mistake, the man has plenty of classic games like Populous, Syndicate, and Fable to his name, but towards the end of his tenure with Microsoft/Lionhead Studios, he gained a reputation for wildly overpromising with things like the never-delivered Kinect life sim Project Milo. After leaving Microsoft, Molyneux started the new studio 22cans, which has worked on a variety of high-concept mobile games like Curiosity: What’s Inside the Cube? and Godus, which either disappointed or were simply never finished.
