Heh, yeah. Well, there is one part in one of the videos where Pete talks about wanting to go back to the point where making a fun game is the main goal (or something to that effect). If they can recapture the spirit of Populous I'll be happy.

They can't recapture the spirit of anything. Molyneux is spiritually bankrupt, but has made great returns on his investment in bullshit over the last decade.

Bullshit is the new plastics.
I can honestly say I wouldn't buy anything he does anymore. The last thing I actually liked that he did was black and white, and that was a decade ago.

Where's the working concept? They're trying to sell it based on name alone.

Hmm... that was 15 years ago. That tactic didn't work on me for Elite and I enjoyed that a fuck of a lot more than Black & White  |

I would buy Populous (the original one by Bullfrog) for 10 bucks today if I could. (I still have it but don't have a working computer that will run the media it's on - I don't think the IBM XT works after 18 years in a damp basement).
I find myself lately feeling nostalgic for the original versions of Civ, Railroad Tycoon, Master of Orion, (even vanilla WoW). You can never go home again, I guess.
But I won't buy this unless it lives up to its promise, and I don't think it will.

I might give that a shot. I played it again on a Genesis a year ago and still loved it.

The only credit he has on a game I really enjoyed is producer on Syndicate. Definitely not in on this one.

Curiosity? It was released on iOS and Android in early November, I think. People have been clicking away since, apparently. The Wikipedia entry has a whole depressing section that lists all the dates when various levels were uncovered and what amazing secrets lay within (spoiler alert: the layers are mostly just different colors, though the more recent ones have had the names of Godus backers emblazoned on them). Allegedly the PC version is still incoming, so we can look forward to that. |

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

"Remember when Molyneux made that game you like? Give him money!"
To be fair, I really liked The Movies but it wasn't for the game. Unfortunately, because of the game part, the movie making part was really about 3/4-assed and that missing 1/4 was REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT. |

So much. In a related universe, I'm looking at the shit on XBL Indie and thinking I can make something like that. Look at the one called Million Taps. |

From my understanding they are struggling to reach their kick starter target actually. So maybe the hype machine is finally dying off.

From my POV, how can they possibly manage to fuck up such a simple game idea? Even with Peter behind the wheel, how can they possibly fuck this up?

Dude. Molyneux said it; that's the DEFINITION of horseshit. Today we are giving you an update on our prototype. We wanted to release a gameplay montage but the prototype wasn't quite ready yet (as you will learn in the video) so we've taken a slightly different approach. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus/posts/369430Comment thread for the KS is getting pretty humorous, though. I swear Molyneux fans need to get into some kind of domestic abuse counseling. |
