Bioware and Molyneux at GDC 2005

Posted by Zonk on Thursday March 10, 2005 @09:30PM from the the-future-of-gaming-in-two-directions dept.

Alice's Wonderland blog has more coverage of the Game Developer's Conference this week. "Storytelling Across Genres: Bioware's Perspective" covers the way in which Bioware concocts the RPG magic they're so well known for. Next Generation Game Design details a talk by Peter Molyneux about where Lionhead and he are going to be taking games in the future. From the post: "Possibly a right proper experiment this, and kudos to Peter and Ron for having the guts to try it: at this stage it looks like it could go either way, and creating a whole new genre (Real Time Strategic Gods and Morals Sim?) is always going to be risky. I very much look forward to the result. "

i would look forward to it too if Mo didn't have an amazing track record of promising and hyping new concepts and ideas but completely and utterly failing on delivering on them.

Fable, Blank and White, Flying fricking carpet etc show that Molyneux can talk a lot of cool ideas but none of them are developable.
