Lionhead's dormant Milo & Kate Kinect game boasts billions of polygons, thanks to a new proprietary sculpting tool created by the studio.
Want evidence that the title's world is a treat for the eyes? Look no further.
Lionhead's Ben Sugden used the video as evidence of the firm's new Mega Mesh tool at GDC - which he said could have an impact on both Xbox 360 and PS3. He clarified that the footage was "running on a stock Xbox 360 at 30fps". Yeah. Wow.
Peter Molyneux is keen to "amaze" gamers with the next step in the Fable franchise. Here's hoping he Mega Meshes the Albion out of it.

Kinda looks like Pixar, which is of course bloody brilliant!

It's real pity MS is so dead set against this title. Lionhead want to make it but MS refuse to publish it from my understanding.

Looks nice, but everything just seems too clean. I think that's something developers need to work on. The middle ground between sterile and the muddy brown and grey that they so love.

I don't see Milo in these screenshots. Is that really means he's...

I think it's wonderfully stylistic. It has a kind of rural, Britain charm. Reminds me of the Wallace and Gromit animation environment feel. Though, I'd love to see a team up between Lionhead and Studio Ghibli with this engine. It reminds me of Totorro for some reason.

Anybody else think it looks like toy story?

Brownie points? More like an eye test for anyone who doesn't spot the snail.
Graphical style is good,I like it.

Yep, and that's also it's major strength. The world detail holds true even as you zoom in.

Sounds like this is about an environment creation tool not an actual game engine. Not sure why I should care.

It's a game engine and environment creation tool. You can navigate through it in real-time on a console.
