Peter Molyneux Says Live More Influential than Wiimote

advertisement

The creator of Fable had some interesting comments when asked about motion control:

All I can say is that Microsoft is an incredibly smart company and I never fail to be impressed by just how clever they are. Don't forget this is the company which pioneered LIVE which I believe will ultimately be far more impactful on video games in the long term than something like the Wii controller.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Apples and oranges.

Other than that, Fable 2 is highly anticipated by myself. I can't believe anything Molyneux has to say, though.

    I think old Pete has got this one wrong. I can not understand how he believes that something that is a glorified IM system is more "impactful" than an entirely new method of controlling something.
