Quick video of me playing RE3, a remake of the 1999 original.

The quintessential survival horror!

Looking forward to this.

I don't often play these fantasy-type games, but I really enjoyed Diablo 3.

In 2016 I awaited Pokemon Go "augmented reality" game, as I imagined it to be the first "true" AR game. I specifically avoided all leaks, info or screenshots, to have a fresh, unspoiled experience. I only speculated with other people how awesome it will be, hyping up.

I played some "AR" games years earlier on the DSi, Android phones and the 3DS. I expected Pokemon Go to be many steps ahead of those earlier games.

Turned out that Pokemon Go was utter disappointment in all areas, showing me that my optimistic vision of the future was not going as anticipated. The only positive was incentivizing us to walk and cycle a lot. Moving around in small groups and talking to strangers about the game were the best parts of the 2016 Pokemon Go craze.

I thought "we must be having a few worse years nowadays, everything is going to rapidly improve in a few more years". Like I told my friend in Q4 2009, that by the 2nd quarter of 2017, newest smartphones will have 32x more RAM than his HTC HD2 ($649, £499) 576 MB, so 18 GB (doubling every 1.5 years). I was wrong, too optimistic. Even in 2023 it has not happened yet.

Some people expecting Apple mixed reality glasses to change everything (for the better) are probably going to be disappointed as well. Weak specs (only underclocked M2 SoC) + large size & weight + very high price ($2999) = situation will be similar, we'll still use smartphones like today (there are already devices like Lenovo ThinkReality A3, Magic Leap 2 or Microsoft HoloLens 2, but they haven't become mainstream yet).

Even though I was not good at Minecraft, I was interested in the videos though in the early 2010s. I'll give him a follow.

Peter Molyneux Wanted to See More Gameplay in the New Fable Trailer, Too

Jul 1, 2023 12:27 am



Xbox recently took the wraps off Playground Games' Fable reboot at the Xbox Games Showcase, revealing a fun and whimsical take on the classic franchise. The trailer was well-received, but some observers criticized its lack of gameplay.

Peter Molyneux, who helped design the original Fable and has more recently been dabbling in NFTs, agrees.

"Like you, I would have loved to see more gameplay, but I loved when the hero threw the fireball. I loved the sensation of the impact. I thought it was truly promising. So yes, my expectations are high," Molyneux told GameReactor in a recent interview.

He went on to praise the IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade as a "perfect choice" for the game, and that "making him be obsessed with vegetables was very Fable-like."

The original Fable was an early hit for Xbox thanks in part to Molyneux's big promises of a constantly-evolving world; one where players could plant an acorn and watch it grown into a mighty oak tree. Molyneux departed Lionhead in 2012, and the studio was shuttered in 2016.
