Hay que reconocerlo: nadie sabe vender humo como Peter Molyneux. El mediático presidente de Liohead, que ahora se encuentra dando los últimos retoques a Fable 2, dio una entrevista a GamersGlobal y dejó caer algunos detalles sobre su próximo juego (con el nombre en clave Dimitri). Un poco de hype para amenizar la mañana:
I’m saying absolutely nothing. I’ve been sat down in a room by the head of PR [of Microsoft Games, --ed.] and been told to not talk about it.
Vamos, que en Microsoft le dicen que tenga la boca cerrada. Pero Molyneux, incapaz de estarse calladito, empieza a hablar:
In terms of the core or the theory of the AI, we’ve moved from Black&White onto a project called Dimitri, which I’ve been tantalizing you about for a long time. And that team kept on researching. Dimitri was always an experimental thing, which is why I never showed it. And then it moved from that experiment to a moment in time that happened six months ago when a discovery was made, and this discovery has been so exciting that it has lead to Lionhead focussing on it and sculpting a game around that. I think that discovery is so significant… This discovery has lead us to start a game and that game will be on the front cover of Nature magazines and Science magazines.
Dimitri es el siguiente paso en lo que Lionhead entienden por IA, y la evolución lógica tras Black & White. Una tecnología asombrosa que, dice, les llevará incluso a ser portada de prestigiosas revistas científicas. Aunque conociendo a Molyneux, al final en vez de en la portada de Nature igual sale en la portada de Saber Vivir, porque ha sido incapaz de cumplir las expectativas…
