Hey, nice interview! Interesting to hear he has dyslexia, and some great footage of Fable 2, as well! National treasure indeed!

Yeah that was pretty interesting, I enjoyed that. Isn't Johhny Minkly the guy who does computer games for Radio 1? He always sounds like a bit of a casual gamer when he's explaining stuff....

Here's an interesting fact...
'Peter Molyneux' is an anagram of 'I talk bollocks'.

I wonder of Molyneux knows the main quest in his game doesn't work. Equally, I'm stil wondering how all the reviewers didn't pick up on it.

Could it be they didn't actually play this (very short) game through before slapping a score on it?!

He looks like a total arsehole, the type of guy born to be an arsehole boss. He's giving us advice based on the fact that he screamed at his employees? No comment.

So he (Lionhead should I say, Peter can't take all the credit) delivers an outstanding game and people still take the time to criticise him.

A shame, he's one of the most interesting, most enthusiastic people in the industry and he consistently makes good to great games.

Still, I enjoyed the interview, learnt a few things I didn't know, like him having dyslexia. Nice choice of questions too, though I'm looking forward to an interview post the EG review, how will he react to you giving the game a higher score than he did :P

@ Inquisitor +1. The industry needs people of Pete Molyneux's calibre.

Paging Microsoft marketing..

Where did Pete get that lanyard?

OK interview, but very annoying format. Same short clip of music after each question...

What the industry needs is games without game ending bugs.

I loved magic carpet (and it made numerous appearances in neighbors!).

I wonder why he puts it at the bottom of his remake list?

The game is broken, so much so I had to make the decision to restart the game, but lost interest about an 1hr in to it, thats after putting 20hrs+ into my first attempt.

Urgh, someone shoot the camerapeople please. Shakycam might be hip and cool for the MTV-generation, but it really has no place whatsoever in a damned interview.

Nauseating camerawork. Stop that, please.

The interview itself was interesting, but too short.

I'm enjoying Fable II but it's not blowing my socks off and from a technical and UI perspective it's actually embarassingly poor.

It's refreshing to hear an industry bod being so honest. I wish Konami/Seabass would take a leaf out of Peter's book.

Didnt think that video was hard to watch (camera movement).

I have to say, I agreed with everything Peter said in that interview! Excellent stuff.

Peter Molyneux = great guy.
Fable II = Technically flawed, released too early.
Syndicate sequel = yes please.
