Fable creator says Xbox 360 Kinect was “a disaster, trainwreck”

4.5

Peter Molyneux, the Fable creator who once got everyone excited about the original Kinect with the interactive Milo demo, and later with Fable: The Journey, actually has a poor opinion of the device.

Speaking to IGN, the designer recalled the enormous premise of the original Kinect, and how it ultimately didn’t come close to the exciting initial reveal in the final product.

Molyneux revealed this when was asked by IGN how Fable: The Journey came to be. Though he wasn’t able to recall if Microsoft came to Lionhead with the idea or of it was the other way around, he certainly seemed to not remember Kinect fondly.

The interviews cover several games from Molyneux’s career, including Black & White, the original Fable, and the Curiosity Cube.

They should just make the Kinect 2 a VR device. Might as well since Scorpio can support it.

It is pretty true. Microsoft had only gave us something we already had with the wii instead of using the remote and nun chucks or any of the other accessories it was your body. in my opinion that's not the way games should go.
