This is a leak I believe. Here they are. Both due out this year. Remember me saying that MS had tricks up their sleeves and how they always deliver a better year than they promise?
Pretty damn different from what Lionhead's been doing and has done? eh. This goes with what Peter M said he was doing- a game based on a simple idea (more of a what if i take it)
Justice-- you play as a criminal on the loose.
Survivor- you and a group are the sole survivors after the, i guess, apocolypse.

Lionhead Studios Ltd.
Company »
Lionhead Studios was a British developer studio founded by industry legend Peter Molyneux. They focus on innovation in God games, management simulators and RPGs. Their first title was released in 2001, called Black & White. The company was formed with people from Bullfrog Productions.
Lionhead's New Games: Not One but TWO
Hmm... someone can't read. No, they aren't
Again, one is about a criminal on the loose and the others about survivors from a war.
Pretty neat eh? I think I'm the first to realize this. It's on Leading Light's art thing. They say they're working on the art for lionhead (they also did the art for killzone). If you search it up you can get more info.
So umm... can you post this and I get a mention jeff? lulz, I kid.
I said it because . . . they both look exactly the same through concept art. I can read.
how? only similarity I can see is the flashlight, lulz.
It'a definately heavily influenced by something though. The motorcycles into boats really reminds me of somethign.
It will take a year or so before we see any significant details about these game, but I'll keep these games on my radar. However it should be noted that Lionhead 'pitches' games that eventually never become realities a lot (i.e B.C., Unity). Also where's the long forgotten Dimitri Project, Peter Molyneux has been adament that the project hasn't been cancelled?
"how? only similarity I can see is the flashlight, lulz.The concept of surviving apocalypse in a city and looking for survivors coincidentally coming after Fragile is just downright fishy to me.

Well you can't forget the cirumstances. BC was cancelled because the xbox was pretty much over and the game just sucked basically.
As for unity, well, I never heard of that, lulz. Anyway, don't forget--> they did put out fable since then and thereby increasing MS's faith in them.
Something tells me one of these could be the project dimitri, you know.

Judging off this, I'd say it's more about a post apocalyptic world where there are trying to rebuild but they're also gangs and stuff like that.
It's no more ripping off that than it is fallout.
here's some more images, it's from the link I gave, but still
(survivors)
Justice
Here's some Fable 2 stuff. It's all by the same guys, so it should be a decent reference.
(cemetary)

So based off this, it gives the basic ideas and some places (although some weren't in the game) but it shouldn't be held to every detail.

Unity ws going to be a game by Jeff Minter (Space Giraffe, Tempest 2000), with the Lionhead staff using the Neon synthesizer, the xbox 360 default music visualiser. Anyways I think your right about Dimitri, I think the ideas of the project are beeing dispersed into other games, maybe even Fable 2.
^ well then, we should have expected that to be cancelled. That sounds horrible.
Was there anything specific on dimitri? Because I can't see why it couldn't be one of these, or both really.
All I know is that it was about changing your past to fix the present which really could be what justice is, not so much survivor though.'
I'd imagine that Survivor is Project X.
"For once you actually posted something worth reading, good job DarkSmugLoser."really? At least I'm wasting your time by reading THIS post. ANYWAY, do you think that by writing in caps lock you read a word more slowly
wow jakob, just wow.
these are two games that both, if properly executed, could both be AAA titles. Now obviously, I don't want to get ahead of myself based on concept art, but if executed properly
"wow jakob, just wow.or they could both be horrible..
these are two games that both, if properly executed, could both be AAA titles. Now obviously, I don't want to get ahead of myself based on concept art, but if executed properly"
"what other games have they made?couldn't anygame?
"
But considering the idea and the studio, I say it's something to look forward to.
and not every game could be horrible. some are made horrible *looks at haze and too human*
"Except for the Halo series right? Bungie could never mess that up.couldn't anygame?
"
But considering the idea and the studio, I say it's something to look forward to.
"wow jakob, just wow.Well, I think a monkey could shit in your hand and it would be executed properly compared to Kane & Lynch. = / Nonetheless, I don't judge a game based on concept art. I mean, look at Chakan The Forever Man. Concept and box art was sweet back in the day, but the actual game was a travesty. = /

Ugh, thanks a lot for reminding me of that stupid game *Shakes fist at Chaken*
"shadows_kill said:thats how i know there name.. and i have heard of black and white is it good?"what other games have they made?"Lionhead has a pretty prestigious list of games under their belt, the most notable being the Fable and Black & White franchises.However...they also made The Movies. = /"
"thats how i know there name.. and i have heard of black and white is it good?"I changed my original comment, as upon further investigation, I found out that Lionhead has ONLY made the Fable franchise, Black & White franchise, and The Movies.
Whats with all the survival type games. Ubisoft still has one coming out to "I Am Alive". Now we hear from these games and one obviously is a survival game and the other looks to have survival aspects. I'm not complaining because those types of games are fun but still, so much at once.
i would rather get that demigod or something like that when it comes out :P they sound to be good. are they owned by microsoft or they just make games for them?
"i would rather get that demigod or something like that when it comes out :P they sound to be good. are they owned by microsoft or they just make games for them?"Kind of a Microsoft exclusive style company...as far as I know. I can't say that I've really ENJOYED any of the games they've made.
"Also, Smug...who the fuck cares what Peter Moore says? HE'S AT EA NOW!!! Dood can choke on Madden's light pen for all I care."2,500th post congrats :P

They're responsible for a load of classics.
...okay, granted that's going into Bullfrog, but bullfrog is essentially Lionhead now

Sounds like they could be cool (but don't all games sound like that on paper). And I'm afraid I have to be a skeptic and say these games are not going to come out this year. I'd love to be wrong but if I were a betting man ... Wait a second, I AM a betting man! OK who wants to bet that these games are not coming out this year?
