Interview: Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux
Love him or hate him, Peter Molyneux is a major figure in global entertainment. His habit of “upselling” his projects has earned him the nickname Six Gun Pete, but we found the Lionhead boss in relaxed form in Los Angeles last night. We spoke with him after going hands-on with Fable III.
The Microsoft Games Studios Europe creative director talked about Fable, his relief at Kinect’s formal reveal, and why Milo isn’t on the showfloor at E3 this year – to most people, any way.
Warning: Mid-way through the interview, Molyneux dropped a big Fable II spoiler. You’ve been warned.
Hit the break for our full chat with him.

Interview – Epic’s Rod Fergusson
Epic showed off Gears of War 3 in a big way during the Microsoft press conference at E3 this week by debuting the game’s new co-op mode, Beast, and a more open-air feel that contrasts greatly when compared to Gears 2.
With a new look thanks to an upgraded Unreal Engine 3, and new ways to fight for your survival against the Horde and a new imposing threat, Epic is confident that Gears 3 will be a satisfactory conclusion a storyline that started back in 2006 with the original Gears of War.
During a Microsoft party last evening, VG247 had a chance to sit down and talk to the game’s executive producer Rod Fergusson, who shared with us the developmental thinking behind adding four-player co-op to series already renown for cooperative experiences.
