Bet it will be. On a next gen machine.
Bummer, this was looking pretty cool.

Yep - you'd be hard pushed to resume it without pulling a Galleon or a Duke Nukem Forever. Either you put it through a new art iteration, or it ends up looking very dated - not that this is a concern of mine, but it is for a lot of the buying public, and thus for publishers.

They must be stuck on how to implement a good and evil system...

shame. i had my eye on this. so i guess getting money from venture capitalists doesn't give you quite the creative freedom molyneux would like us all to believe, nor the amount of money a publisher can offer. fucking loinhead management halfwits.

The heartfelt love of venture capitalists is not just limited to the Games Software industry. We've just vowed never to deal with them again at the technology company I work for, because they've screwed us for the last time. VC's, especially British VC's are wasters in general.

No it most certainly doesn't. It's like selling your soul to the devil. Only this devil loves money even more than sticking forks up bottoms.

Or, instead of completing a game that's shaping up well they're going put the staff and the unexpectedly large pile of cash from Fable into "The Return of Molyneux's Folly Part Three: The Movies".

Fable is a bloody brilliant game, if it hasn't made them a mint then at least its raised the public profile of the company and its satalites.

Such a shame about BC, was the game i was looking forward to the most on xbox - it also seems rather late in the life cycle to cancel it, with a sequel semi-confirmed and so forth.

maybe they're going to move it over to xbox2,

Poor Mr Molyneux lured by the VC's suitcases of money, now his balls are in someone elses hands and they have a tight clammy grip.

One has to wonder about 'The Movies', is this next...?

Yes, Peter Molyneux = "promising", not "delivering", that was Fable's downfall. Without the hype/"promising"it might have gotten a better reception. As it was, those that actually believed it would be more free-form and exploratory were dissatisfied and scored it thusly.
