Peter knows all the secrets to life and the universe.. it's all in that cube

[@mooreel]

24:02 indeed it appeared in news reports and was a dead cat .. 31:15 ... 41:08 ...

[@oQuindo1]

I would totally right click to place a cube on top of the current surface. It would turn into a war between people revealing the cube and people covering it.

[@WelpeBaumgarten]

There's a flux capacitor inside. The DeLorean Peter gives as an achievement then.

[@michailnenkov]

live gameplay demo at Unite 2012 keynote, looks much more mature and "gamey", currently. Looking good

[@NotLegato]

there's only one of them. also it's not about money, it's about the sociological test of curiosity, as the game name states :pp what people are willing to do to find out, what's inside.

[@ravagefox]

there's a 1 in two chance that the prize inside that Cube is another Cube. Or a dead cat. Who knows.

[@Cimlite]

So basically it's a "free 2 play" lottery? One where you can buy items that improve your chances for actual money. Even the part of him describing how satisfying it is "cleaning" the cube... just sounds like a giant scratch-off ticket to me.

[@gettcouped]

He said himself that they probably won't make any money on it. Also, the fact that they are releasing the data may help the industry with free to play models.

[@DontGiveUp_Skeleton]

Those sales figures for fable scare the shit out of me.

[@MrEduardKhil]

Very good presentation, thanks.

[@Jasdebi148]

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING

[@indencity]

38:24 I thought it was all about curiosity Pete

[@notasfarwest]

There may have been some irony involved in my comment...

[@notsostupidusername]

.... he's just insane that is all. It's the only thing I can believe right now.

[@Timeyy]

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING JUST BUY THE $10.000 "YOUCANDOANYTHING" DLC

[@Rowkilla56]

Give him 100million and he'll get on it. It's easy to just say random crap on the internet without having to actually put up the resources needed to make something happen.

[@olie266]

Looks like he has Minecraft on his macbook. :P

[@Renyth]

I know what's in the cube... basically Peter's head appears out of a bright light and laughs at you then his fist comes out of his mouth and reaches out of your iphone and punches you in the face and goes back into the game extending a middle finger, it's innovative in that TRON is now real and then the question of sharing this answer comes at a cost... are you really gonna tell the world you just spend weeks tapping a phone only to get punched in the face by a game and given the finger?

[@throwfire55]

i saw the minecraft logo on his computer!!!!

[@mackemforever]

Yeah he does ramble, but usually his rambling is very interesting so nobody really minds!

[@MrFriendlyfire95]

where the fuck is my dungeon keeper 3?

[@imsamurai3000]

That's a genius marketing strategy to make a shit ton of money for little work. I think I'm going to try that myself. "Hey guys, this is a social experiment. I've got this cardboard box. It's got a fucking awesome secret inside, but everyone has to donate money to me for it to open. Perhaps when you donate enough, I'll show you what's inside". But don't worry guys, it's all for the sake of art and social experimentation. You know, from the great sociologist Peter Molyneux.

[@erelpc]

Why are people so outraged about him wanting to profit from his work. Free-to-play was never in the literal sense, there's always been monetisation, otherwise how else do people expect them to keep financing their games... it's ridiculous isn't it?

[@unleashthedog]

Totally true, cleaning up feels greatly rewarding

[@cheerteerlila123321]

he's got minecraft on his laptop xD

[@Renyth]

Insane is good in some context...to me a good insane is to have many ideas...a bad insane is to think it's sane to sit in a cubicle working an ants job until your boss tells you to fuck off. Peter's heart is in the right place, more than most developers I believe... but its been a very long time he hasnt brought some kind of dissapointment on his projects everyone wants him to succeed. What happened Fable 2 onwards has me kind of on the hate train. How did this man make that rubbish baffles me.

[@indencity]

I'm not sure it's outrage. Just that collectively I think we already know that people will pay money to satiate their curiosity...

[@notasfarwest]

Pete's a cool guy, but he can ramble sometimes.

[@Nightbanger89]

Pete's playing minecraft ^-^

[@espantalho93]

Because curiosity isn't motivation? Or are you just looking for a reason to hate on him?

[@St4rdog]

So it's some kind of penny auction game?

[@l4gg3r92]

I'd tap that.

[@EkEMaN91]

He seems to be oblivious to his reputation of overexaggerating...

[@MrMarocBarca]

but im kinda curious whats inside the cube maybe a prize ? or maybe fable4 or maybe blackandwhite 3?? damn how much is this nonsense gonna cost me. this guy has a unbelievable tallent for screwing with people and stil he is able to let them buy his game DAMN YOU PETER

[@00Kirby0]

I CAN CURE CANCER, GRANT IMMORTALITY, CREATE LIFE, AND CONTROL THE ELEMENTS. AND YOU CAN TOO, AS THESE POWERS ARE GOING TO BE IN FABLE 4 FOR WII-U

[@NotLegato]

what did he lie about them? i never really played them.

[@XLR82Sk8t]

XBALLS LIVE ARCADE 9:07

[@seanseanston]

Oh noes, Peter Molyneux uses Apple. The final proof that he's lost his mind forever =( =]

[@jacklomas4218]

50,000 for 1 pickaxe. u do know that right. im sorry i respect hisvision and all but if that isn't insanity then i don't know what the fuck is.

[@NotLegato]

oh yeah i think yahtzee talked about that too heh ;D fair enough, then.

[@TheKratoKiller]

Who knew he played minecraft hahah

[@NotLegato]

you gotta admit it did pique your curiosity somewhat, right? i don't mind if he makes money, what's wrong with that? i'm just curious, no pun intended :pp (not that i'm going to get it, it'll be on youtube anyways)

[@THEMATRIXKID10]

so can you play on pc

[@VagrantShadow]

He's just trying to see how may people will pay to tap on a screen. He's testing the water for how much money he can make on 100 million people. He's not making games for people, he's making games for money and this is the problem with the games industry. The main issue is that all his games fault. Dungeon Keeper was the only thing that was a great game. Every other game was over hyped and broken promises and were abandon. It's not about games, its about profit. He's the embodiment of EA games.

[@thatguywiththeegg]

Don't believe his lies.

[@bloodymirjoca]

This sounds more like "pay to win" game :)

[@Alhoshka]

Classic

[@Jakiladd]
