Peter Molyneux LiveText on Fri News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Facing your questions live.

Good news, Eurogamers! Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux is lining up to talk to you in our second LiveText interview this Friday, 30th November, from 3pm GMT!

Molyneux is following in the virtual footsteps of Naughty Dog's Evan Wells, who joined us earlier this month to field your questions and enjoyed himself so much he stuck around for half the night.

"To get tough and frank questions from gamers is what I am looking forward to this Friday," he told everyone in our fancy press release. "I don't mind whether they are about Fable 2, Lionhead's other games or the industry in general."

For those who missed out the first time around, Eurogamer's LiveText interview system sees you lot typing in questions that we then submit to the victim using magic. If you turn up a bit before the allotted time, you also get the chance to submit questions in advance.

As for what to ask about, Molyneux has worked on games like Black & White, Populous, Magic Carpet and of course Fable, and is one of the UK's best-known developers, so you could start off in that area. Or you could ask him whether he could score from there.

Whatever you come up with, he's sure to be worth going on the Internet for when you run out of emails to respond to on Friday afternoon. 3pm! Join us!

Much as I like Molyneux, is this not just another opportunity for him to put his foot in it as per usual.

I'm not going to be able to participate but can somebody PLEASE ask him if Populous is making a come back. Even a remake of the original would be awesome for Mac/PS3 or XBOX360.

Wow, this is a great achievement EG.

Really looking forward to this, Molyneux is my favourite personality in the games industry right now. He might not deliver on his promises but boy is it entertaining listening to him talk.

How does Fable 2's combat system differ from all the other horrible games that require you to wildly mash a single attack button? (Please note that claiming 'context-sensitivity' or 'distance from the target' is NOT a valid answer.)

Thanks.

I wonder whether he'll reply to all the questions in the same Yoda-speak he displayed in that press release...?

I also think Populous 2 was pretty much the best thing he's done and one of the all time best games. I still like it, running on Steem or something like it. Details like the buzzard circling sick people including an awesome sample were just really awesome.

I would ask Peter to concentrate on PSN (or Live) games for a while, concentrating on small games using fresh ideas, and working the individual idea out to a polished game concept. This will help him return to form and keep him sane.
