Peter Molyneux calls E3 Fable: Journey demo a “horrendous mistake”

13 June 2011

In a video interview with OXM, Lionhead man and press wizard Peter Molyneux has just about disowned the E3 Fable: Journey reveal demo as a “horrendous mistake”.

Apparently the impression that it’s an on-rails game was quite false, and it seems instead that the open world navigation options were simply nixed for the purposes of showing off the Kinect-powered game’s magic system and steering controls.

“I made a horrendous mistake on the press demo on taking out the navigation allowing players to move,” he says. “I’ll state on record now that Fable: The Journey is definitely not on rails.”

He then shows a whiteboard cluttered with the signatures of several dozen journalists attesting to this fact.

I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Besides, the game still looks pretty rubbish – although it might be a bit early to say for sure. Not very much else is actually known about the game for the moment.
