Peter Molyneux: Black & White team about to revolutionize game AI - Image 1In an interview with Lionhead Studios boss Peter Molyneux at the Game Developers Conference, the legendary game designer said that their team is about to "revolutionize" AI in video games.

The said team is actually the same core responsible for the title Black & White which originally came out back in 2001. Molyneux added that the team has started working on the project right after the said title was released. He further discussed:


In the six years since Black & White was released they have been working improving the great things that underpinned that game, and now they are getting pretty close to something that is very significant.


ItÂ’s a very big thing. A new franchise and as close to something revolutionary as I have ever seen. And weÂ’re close to announcing it.


Going a bit into specifics, Peter Molyneux referred to the creature in Black & White who learned behavior and seemed alive. "Imagine if you could take that and multiply it by a billion", added the video game designer.

Aside from the already mentioned, Peter Molyneux refused to divulge more details, also to the request of his publicist who was beside him during the interview. Just keep checking back here at QJ.NET for the latest on this development.

yeah, these guys have always claimed to have something revolutionary, never happened. Don't see it happening now either.

ALso, he's nothing more than an MS sellout. So f*** him and his MS owned team.
