Loinhead

In this month’s Develop Magazine there is an “IP Profile” of Black & White, although it reads more like an essay about Lionhead pre-2006. (We have some alleged “images” which may or may not come from the alleged “article”.) The interesting numbers are:

• Black & White and Creature Isle sold 2 million copies put together
• B&W2 sold “a fraction” of that, so perhaps a few hundred thousand
• Fable sold 1.5 million in its first month and 3 million overall

I, VIDEOGAME is exploring the past, present and future of videogames and video gamers in the recently aired Part four , Peter Molyneux talks about his classics Populos and Black and white and why he started making his famous God games.

We edited the footage including Peter in a small movie which you can watch below.

Enjoy.

We have an exclusive interview with Peter Molyneux on our hands here, from the community visit on Friday. There’s one going to follow with Dene Carter, Creative Director of Fable 2, in just a couple of days - keep checking back! Peter talks about loads of stuff, including what went wrong with B&W2, reveals what’s going to be the next big thing in combat, prototypes for Fable 2 they worked on, what’s going on with NPCs and expressions vs. dialogue, plus a final bit about the secret game. Video here, transcript below.
