Peter Molyneux on Curiosity, Project GODUS, and Penises - Adam Sessler Interviews

Peter Molyneux's Kickstarter "Project GODUS" is approaching completion, so he stopped by the Revision3 offices to chat with Adam Sessler. In part one of their interview, they discuss the breakout success of Curiosity, his plans for Project GODUS, and, of course, the internet's infatuation with drawing penises.
Look for part two, in which Peter explains why he's using Kickstarter, what will happen if he fails, and what he wants to accomplish with GODUS.

I love how Adam is smiling the entire time. You can tell he really enjoys Peter's company.

[@Akexi2288]

I really like having Sessler back on camera. He is a person who levels with the people he interviews and an in depth thinker while not forsaking the willingness to laugh or make jokes. He is definitely a right step in improving gaming journalism from the cesspool it has been dragged into.

[@emobigfoto]

Such a good interview, so personal

[@22CansOfficial]

Hi Macelo, all the current pictures and video's are still early days if the Kickstarter successful we will be looking at a release date for around September 2013 which means they is room for improvement

[@NinjaSlayerSix]

Peter Molyneux is very inspiring, really interesting listening to him speak.

[@johan3043]

These two are the ones with some of the best opinions in the gaming industry IMO. Great to see these 2 in the same video!

[@MrECHOfox]

In an industry that is filled with sequels and franchises, having someone who is innovative albeit a little to ambitious is a refreshing and welcomed thing. So why so much hate for this man?

[@DominiqueStafford]

I thought that was an interesting interview. Looking forward to the second part of it.

[@Fredo5227]

I love curiosity, I still check back every day to see how much of the cube is left.

[@HamsterPants522]

Molyneux seems like a really great guy, every time he speaks, I have to remember to take what he says with a grain of salt. I still appreciate the guy for his well-meaning contributions to the industry, even if they turn out to be disappointing a lot of the time.

[@kidv2]

Can somebody tell me what's the track that plays at the end???

[@BreadMaestro]

I really hope this game gets made. I know his ideas fall short very often in the finished product, but I think someone with this lofty of an approach should keep trying. There have been moments in his games that I have not felt elsewhere, and I want to keep experiencing that.

[@_underhill_]

Guys if you haven't already backed Peter's 'Godus' Kickstarter, please look it up as it's a very close run thing and it's anyone guess whether he'll be able to raise the money he needs to fund the game in the remaining 69 hours.

[@redshift912]

what have you experienced in peters games that you havent elsewhere ? im not trying to troll or anything...just wondering

[@FourStoryGamer]

Why the weird two-part split without putting the other half up now? Seems odd. I'd just like to see it now.

[@violntjack]

the hand talking is incredible

[@Burtsoldier]

whats the music at the end?

[@cjh5396]

Looks really good,I like your guys ability to preview/review/ and interview indie games and developers..something larger sites and channels are unable to do,I think indie games are the purist form of games.They normally aren't sponsored by large companies and rely on individual financing or backing from potential players allowing them to have a lot more creative freedom.

[@scrustle]

It's not a bad thing that "game" is a restrictive term. It's not that it has "stigma" around it, it's just something that has a specific definition. But now we're getting "games" that don't fit within that definition, but people still seem to want to call them games. We just need to come up with a better definition for these "non-games" instead of trying to messily redefine the whole medium. That doesn't mean these non-games are bad, it's just properly recognising them for what they are.

[@zKiller810]

Have you never played any of his old games?

[@BladefullySwift]

Now I feel like playing Black and White 2 again. Whelp, time to boot it up....

[@MrBlank1988]

thanks

[@mont923]

You didn't know who Adam Sessler was, I feel old now.

[@KaeruthePaladin]

Get Adam some interviews with Cliffy B. He used to interview the guy all the time back at G4 and Cliffy even helped out with skits.

[@TheThundertwig]

Have you played the black and white games or fable: the lost chapters? They're really solid games that really demonstrate this dude's interests and passions when it comes to game development. While the later fable games are a bit of a mess, Lionhead's early 2000 games really show some characteristic depth, humour, and replayability that we need more of in games.

[@Cowbeefable]

People don't know the definition of hate anymore sadly enough. They throw around the term too much. I've started to doubt peter quite a lot after all the false things he said but that doesn't mean I hate him. I wish him the best and I hope he actually succeeds in his game.

[@MrECHOfox]

Yes I know that, and that's a reason to hate someone? There is too much hate in this world. People demand perfection and yet they themselves are not perfect.

[@trago1337]

i certainly respect the man for aiming high

[@brookstech]

Peter Molyneux is my favorite developer of all time.

[@latecore_]

I feel like I'm the only person who loves Peter Molyneux.

[@DaveSimonH]

I hope 22cans reach their kickstarter goal, although they'll be cutting it close.

[@kzgc8y3n]

Anyone who wants to know the music at the end its BIG NICK

[@Blotle]

Are people still on about that?

[@maggitPL]

Oh Peter. It's not that we hate you, it's just we know that your words usually mean something different from what we actually get in your games.

[@TugarRider747]

I like Mr. Molyneux attitude toward whole industry. I definetly like way, just give people a tool, and just look what will happen :)

[@edleedavis]

I heard that Peter Molyneux said that GTAVs sales numbers weren't impressive.

[@Bayern1national]

I never knew drawing penises could be so inspirational...we salute you Peter

[@1xphobiusx1]

What PainAndSacrafice said.

[@aaron-4062]

Molyneux does master jedi mind trick, but I think he can pull off a god game. I have faith in him. (mostly because other don't) He just tries new things, we should respect him for it.

[@Burtsoldier]

Hi i used midomi to search it. Its Robot Science - Plush Happy listening

[@TampaTay]

Sess is legit. He knows his shit and he is a caring human being.

[@OranjeDiscoDancer]

The amount of Molyneux hate on this video is ridiculous. Interesting interview. The guy isn't perfect, but you got to respect what he's done.

[@maxburton22]

i think that Molyneux is a perfect fit for smaller creative games like this cube one. This way there's a lot less room for him to get carried away and make a bunch of promises.

[@TheRealNahre]

So glad the Sess got off the Titanic that is G4 before it completely sank :D

[@LysergikFuneral]

Peter, we love you, but you NEED to forget about the cube game and turn GODUS into Black and White 3. Only then will I die happy.

[@Erebus2075]

uhh at last something worth listening too :D

[@JordanRodkey]

Man this is the wrong time for me to be a broke college student. I wanna back GODUS so bad.

[@hectorg96]

i have a love/hate relationship with peter

[@Cowbeefable]

black&white (2) were good games.

[@TheWigoff]

Ello?

[@hylkema101]

Man I hate peter molyneux.. but hes crazy. and i love him.

[@Faarthemage]

....Sessler looks weird being bald with a five o' clock shadow going on.

[@VinalG4ce]

I am Captain Basch. Don't believe in Ondor's lies.

[@InaudibleWhisper]

You're putting words in his mouth. Where did he say Curiosity was going to be "AMAZING" or revolutionary? And why couldn't Godus be great? All of his other god games are (a genre he created by the way with Populous). Or are you being wilfully ignorant like most people and only taking his Fable games into consideration when judging his entire career?

[@redshift912]

dont buy his game.end of story. peter will always be peter.

[@banger320]

third?

[@fungas4201]

molyneux, i love you, i love your vision. but for gods sake your putting me to sleep bro

[@Cowbeefable]

Because he lied about a lot of things and set very unrealistic things for fable games.

[@HamsterPants522]

Your argument is equally as entitled on the other end of the spectrum as Molyneux's words are. A game can be anything, just because you don't personally define it as such doesn't mean that other people shouldn't be allowed to, and Curiosity was an interesting social experiment either way, so to feel sorry for the people participating in it seems a bit arrogant.

[@JordanKZ]

Don't believe his lies...

[@have345]

Liar....

[@dahabs123]

its not hate,yes he has made some good games.but:he hypes the shit out of his games,talking about things that are not in it.he deserves scrutinty,since his words are not worth so much. irecall him freaking out and saying fable the journey isnt "on rails"? yet it was.im not going into what was talked about early fable games.its pretty much all downhill since populus and black and white...

[@LoneBaldEagle]

Biggest liar in gaming

[@WlNDMlLL]

Oh, hey, Molyneux promising more things? Look at that. Yea, I don't think I'll buy the shit that spews out of his mouth this time around.

[@Vmann12378]

all peters games beside fable tlc were a joke, lead on by his lies and caused massive disappointing reactions from his fans

[@MottCarter]

He is so overrated. Your not a gaming genius.
