Molyneaux Doesn’t Like Too Human
Always a vocal person, Peter Molyneaux recently talked about the games he is looking forward to this year, noting, in particular, Too Human, which he felt to be “slightly off”, noting that he would have done things differently if he were in charge.
“It has some gems in there, but they’re hard to find,” he said. “I quite like the combat and felt it was accessible, but I just… If I got my hands on the game, I’d rip out a few of the things they did and just concentrate on the core.”
“It just slightly forgot about what it was trying to be,” Molyneaux continued. “In a way, it tried to be something it was not. It felt – and again, I thought it did some things really well – that there was something slightly off about it. I’m sure that Dennis Dyack is going to come and kill me now!”
He also talked about GTA 4, which he noted was a “high spot” this year despite it having flaws. Braid, LittleBigPlanet and Spore were also mentioned, with the latter turning out better than expected by Molyneaux.
The famed developer recently oversaw the development of Fable 2, which is due out exclusively on Xbox 360 on October 24.
