Once known as the father of Fable during his tenure at Lionhead, the developer went through a stint of disappointing fans in the Godus era of current studio 22cans, all after the game received years of development and Kickstarter support but then never launched…
Only criticism out of the whole article. And they left the kiddie gloves on. Wonder how much Pete paid for them to essentially felate him.
Guy has some ok ideas, but he needs someone above him to reign in his bullshit. Fable was great, flawed but great. Black & White was a classic and brought a real innovative experience compared to other games at that time. Godus started off really interesting, and then Pete just couldn’t help himself, feature creep, adding shit no one wanted, and then abandoned it after it became clear that he’d fucked it up.
The man is a shitty version of Midas, every good thing he touches turns to shit.
Black & White did really cool things, but they didn’t really work. You could try hundreds of times to show your creature how to do something, but the learning didn’t work.
Cool concept, but it was puddle deep. And no fun, for me at least, once I realized the game didn’t come close to the hype.
Maybe this time will be different, but I won’t hold my breath.

🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely!
I think I made it to the 3rd mission before the mechanics showed how broken they were. It was probably obvious before that, but I was a kid, give me a break.

I won’t even be paying attention to see how it pans out. I’ll lay money down on it being abandoned and a broken jank-ass mess.
