Molyneux on Fable: ‘I apologise’

At least he comes out and is honest about it. Alot was expected from Fable which it never delivered but at the same time at least they strive for originality and concepts unused at the moment.

Peter's diary: note to self: must not f**k up my game sales by admitting it's s**t on internet message boards just as it launches...

I bet the PM types will be pleased with this. Oh, and Microsoft too. Bet evertone there is jumping for joy. As you all know, MS is ALL about honesty...

Well thats got to be the first developer to actually apologise about promises not kept. Got to respect him for that.

But saying that I've played Fable and its still one of the best games I've ever played. Don't think he should be apologising really, he's done a good job. Could have been a complete disapointment (ala Driv3r)

Yep, you have to respect him. There's a big difference between Peter apologising for a game that is one of his best yet, than it being crap which it clearly isn't. If this were someone else we might have to pull finger nails for an apology.

You mention Driv3r which was dire, but no sign of the head of that game stepping forward and taking it on the chin for awful product produced. Some have no honour and don't want to do our money justice.

So don't worry, Peter. We love your games and we love Fable. Your apology is accepted, but we understand your love for games and that your cool ideas might not reach the final cut. At least you tried hard and that's all we wanna see in the end product. It's great that you tried to do something different with an rpg outside of japan, and you've shown the likes of Silver, Hideki etc how things should be done.

Thanks a lot

I'm still waiting on an apology for Black & White.

But considering Nintendo have never apologized for absolutely anything they've done wrong, this is a step-up in the gaming world.

I'd just like to point out that he didnt apologize for the game so much as talking about things that didnt end up in the final version. i dont blme him or mind thta he talked about it. i still enjoy the game even if it is a bit of a let down and it does lay the ground work for future great things. remeber wolfenstein may have been first but doom is what reallyl defined that style of game at the time. weather it comes from lion head or someone else some one will invariably make somethign similar to this that will be just complelty amazing. i just hope for PM's sake that its his team since they had so many great ideas, it would be a shame if somone else beet them to the punch. plus i love the style of it all!

as a side not being able to take my pre existing charcter into a new version later on would be awsome, FABLE: Chapter 2 (only problem is im already liek 60 in the game)

oops, double post
