Lionhead reveal at GamesCom?

Molyneux to front MS press conference, says report
Fable and Milo and Kate developer, Lionhead, will make an announcement at this year's GamesCom in Cologne, Germany.

That's according to a report on usually reliable German site Gamefront, which claims that new Microsoft Games Studios Europe man, Peter Molyneux will front a Microsoft press conference at the event.

Previously at GamesCom's old incarnation, the Leipzig Games Convention, the platform holder hasn't held a press conference.

The Xbox presser is due to kick off alongside GamesCom on August 19th, from 10-11 am local time, says the report.

With his new role at MS, I would expect that we will see a lot more of Peter at these conferences in the years ahead.

I can already hear the Fanboys rumbling already Very Happy .

Lol stonecold, xD

I would honestly think it would be expected of Peter to do a conference, afterall he is in that sort of position were im sure it involves conferences. :S.
Either way, be nice to hear what he has to say.

Is this going to be a big reveal like the massive one Lionhead were meant to do for ComicCon?

I met him once upon a time when I worked at Electronic Boutique in Guildford. He came down for the launch of Black and White. We had to wear these stupid t-shirts.

I hope it's something other than Milo...

black and white 3, theme hospital 2.

A guy can dream can't he.

Theme Hospital 2... oh lord, please let it be. Smile

Of course, but wouldn't they be announced by EA?
Black Mantis on 28 Jul '09
I think EA owns the rights to Theme Hospital, but I guess a spiritual successor would do the job.

Black and White 3, or Fable 3 would be good for me, though sadly I really don't see Microsoft backing a PC only game in B&W3 Sad

maybe something the Rare guys and gals are up to?

(hopefully not avatar clothing)

No doubt, whatever it is Peter is up to, it will be better than the invention of the wheel.

there were plans originally to put bring Black and White to the Playstation, Don't see why they couldn't bring black and white 3 to the 360.

Wouldn't be too bad a fit for Natal functionality come to think of it. using your actual hand to control the action rather than a mouse would be fun. especially the smiting.

You know, that might actually work. It's about the best idea that I've heard for a Natal game yet.

Or how about a version of Operation? Where you have to pull out certain body parts without killing the patient.

The right type of games could be fun.

Oh god! I remember a lot of stupid T-Shirts we had to wear in EB. A couple of pretty cool ones too though, I have to say Smile

Thanks. Maybe atlus could make a version of Trauma Cantre for Natal. Its one of the best games that uses the wiimote so why not Natal too.

Wonder if we'll find out the price of the thing anytime soon. I'm thinking its gonna be £99.99. or there abouts.

That's about what I reckon it will cost. It has to be below the cost of a 360, surely?

ok, you have me there. that could be pretty good!


Though the original B&W Playstation plan was for a game where the player directly controlled the creatur - more Black and White in name, rather than from a real gameplay perspective.


Still, there is a part of me that hopes Peter will announce that Lionhead (or Microsoft) has bought the rights to Syndicate and a new game will be out next year....
