Molyneux may show “politically contentious” game at GDC 09
According to this Kikizo report, Peter Molyneux said in London last night that he may show his next game at GDC next year.
From the piece:
However, he said that Microsoft was cautious about showing it so soon: “Everyone at Microsoft who’s seen it is super excited about it – I mean there’s just this huge anticipation for us to finally show it, because it is so unbelievably ambitious”, he said.
But he told us that Microsoft wants to “shock and awe” the games industry when it’s shown for the first time, which could mean the unveiling takes a bit longer to polish and get ready. It visibly troubles Peter not to elaborate, but at the end of the day it’s Microsoft’s say on when and how it gets shown.
He also told us the game will receive major attention when it’s finally shown, not just for its innovation (“there’s nothing else remotely like it ever before”), but because it’s seriously controversial: “Especially with the current timing, this will be really, politically contentious”, he told us.
More through there.

Is it a tale of what might happen if a stone faced, ignorant, deluded hockey mom inherited the presidency one day after the elections when the elderly munchkin who was won suffered a heart attack as his feeble, yet wealthy, mind struggled to comprehend how the expensive hooker he hired in celebration could have a penis?

Mecha-Palin Vs The Democrats
Use all your robotic skills to fight your way to the White House. Evade the press with your Dash-into-a-Limo move, counter the Accusation Ambushes with your Spin-attack. Silence the booing-crowds with your adore-o-ray. Out-Fox the media when you kidnap O’Reilly and fuse his brain with your armour.
A bit like that?
