Legacy will try to walk on new paths.
Peter Molyneux, responsible for games such as Populous and Fable, has given an interview to Glixel, mentioning his next game in the process. He admitted that for the first time in a long time, he’s now coding the game. „I was having breakfast, I was coding Legacy, and I had an idea. Within an hour, I was actually playing with the thing,” he said. He doesn’t want to say a lot of exact details about Legacy, which makes sense: most of his previous games ended up lacking a few features despite being mentioned pre-release!
„The only thing I think is wise to tell you is that it’s very different. One of the things I am proud of is the number of different genres that I’ve attempted. At the moment, it’s hard to peg what genre Legacy falls into.” We don’t even know if it’s going to be a mobile title or not, but we do know that it is currently running on PC. „I think it’s better to be platform agnostic at the start. The first problem is to get the feel of it right. You do have to worry about the interface and the input method. At the moment, I’m focusing on the mouse, purely because it’s the easiest for me,” he added.
Hopefully, we will not see Molyneux’ „legacy” in Legacy’s pre-release marketing!
