Great interview, I hope there's more Molyjams to come. It was fun to follow.

Molyneux seems like such a nice guy

"After the event, I was skipping around the streets of London saying, “This is incredible.”"

The visual of this in my head has made my day, and it's not even lunchtime. Thank you.

He should rename the compnay to 22 Chains, much better name than 22 Cans.

22 Catches? Twenty Toucans?

22 Balls

Fantastic interview, Patrick.

Damn, what a great interview. You really get a feel for his passion for all this stuff. It is great to see such a creative guy out there like that.

I'm starting to like Peter Molyneux a little bit more now.

Great interview, I always love to see how genuinely enthusiastic Peter Molyneux is.

This was a great read. Nice work, Tricky.

Great stuff, Trix.

Wow that was pretty good.

Yes.

Awesome interview Tricky. Have always enjoyed reading Molyneux's interviews.

Despite all his broken promises, I absolutely adore Peter Molyneux and his absolute love for making games. You can tell he's really passionate about it and that's really what the industry needs these days.

"I actually quite looked forward to his twitters."

Hee hee! Molyneux.

I have had a pretty negative view of Peter over the course of this gen because of his tendancy to over hype games and over sell his ideas. But I have read a lot of interviews in the last few weeks about him and damn it, he is an admirable person. He truly loves his job and loves this industry, and that is what will lead to great games. I can't wait to see what him and his new studio comes up with.

I have to agree with you. I look forward to what 22 cans puts out. I believe Peter Molyneaux resignation from Lionhead Studios allows us to see the games Peter have always wanted to create. If anything it takes a good soul to speak at a game jam, which for all intended purposes, is mocking his gaming ideas.

oh wow

I both love and hate that man

The 1st thing 22Cans needs to do is call EA and tell them they want to make a new Theme Hospital. Loved that freaking game. Great Interview Tricky!

I’ll be honest with you, Patrick, I definitely want, if we had a few people with that enthusiasm here at 22 Cans, then our changes of success would go up exponentially, I think.

This piece is the best thing you've done at Giant Bomb @patrickklepek

An incredibly fascinating event and interview. My respect for Peter has just gone through the roof, he seems like a brilliant guy. Glad to see he enjoyed the jam.

I've never really heard Molyneux speak, so I just kept hearing Vinny's impression of him through this entire thing.

Peter is one of the best in the industry, I simply lovr how personal every interview is to him.

Worth a read. Thanks Molyneux and Patrick.

Peter Molyneux is inspiring. It's easy to dislike him because of his grand concepts that never seem to come together, but man, this guy is just so enthusiastic and humble about his work, his future and the industry that it's hard not to like the guy.

I never noticed how often Patrick talks about "having this sense of...(something)." Still I am truly envious of the guy that gets to interview P Moly as well as other video game industry dudes. I love this hobby a whole lot and it takes creative giants like Molyneux to keep it interesting. Very cool story keep up the great job.

Great interview. I've always liked Molyneux, even when it became the mode du jour to be critical of him.

Yo, this is amazing.

Inspiring stuff. I look forward to seeing what 22Cans comes up with.

Good interview, but can we give this stupid molyjam shit a rest now?

Fantastic read; Molydeux is a really stand-up individual.

You can definitely tell that Microsoft was holding him back. The last game of his I ever played was Theme Park, but I really can't wait to see what he does with more creative control now.

Man, I love Populous. I used to draw triangle based geometry all through class. I wish the DS port was better.

God i would give my left leg for a new Dungeon Keeper!!

@Mr_Skeleton said:

Oh god I read that in his voice!

Yup.

Fantastic interview. It's great that he can speak freely now, without PR hovering nervously nearby.

I could listen to Molyneux speak all day. That man is so inspiring and enthusiastic about whatever he talks about.

Never.

I want to support this guy even more after reading that. Outstanding interview.

This is a pretty great interview. Yeah, I still consider Peter Molyneux the master of underdelivering, but it's clear that the man can talk him some talk.

I do find it funny that as much as I liked some of his later games, Populous is still probably my favorite of his games, and that's the one he did all the programming on. I definitely think it shows how hard it is to take a creative or grand idea and implement it when you're working with a giant team trying to put your vision together in a mass market way. And as a former programmer I definitely emphasize with losing the hands on feel of actually digging through code.

Though I suppose much of my Populous love might be nostalgia.

GREAT interview! I love the vibe of all of this. And Peter is such a lovely guy. :)

Very good :)

Nice work, Scoops!

Great stuff here Scoopz!

Excellent interview

Don't like, then don't read it or comment on said article, simple and concise!

Two things makes me teary-eyed in this interview.

1. the mention of Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Magic Carpet, Black & White and Theme Park. If the ever where any games that nurtured my life long interest in the media, it was these games. On top of that I really loved The Movies... why oh why did I ever doubt Peter Molyneux?

2. The idea of a room full of smart, young, eager people with the same interest as me... what am I doing here? No, I mean, what THE HELL am I doing here??

Great interview and a really inspiring read.

Boo fucking hoo, this is a video game website. Don't like it, too bad.

Nice one!

Great interview. Glad Microsoft didn't completely suck the soul out of him.

Peter is amazing! I love him! :)
