Black & White on Kinect Could Be ‘Super Cool’
Author: Arthur Ricky // Category: Popular Games
Peter Molyneux’s been busy the last few years making Fable and working on Milo and Kate for Kinect. But the one series we wanted to hear most about is Lionhead Studios’ Black & White.
The last Black & White title, Black & White 2, was released in 2005 for the PC and Mac.
“The Black & White series is really interesting,” Molyneux told UGO during a Microsoft event at E3 last week. “Maybe it is something I should re-visit, but that’s just me thinking, here now.”
When asked if he saw Black & White working with Kinect, Molyneux thought the god game’s mechanics would work well with the upcoming hands-free motion control system.
“The original Black & White — with the hand, reaching in and touching and stroking, you can really factor that with Kinect, and it could be really super cool,” he said. “It’s purely me just thinking about it, and thinking about what Black & White means. I love the idea of that connection the hand gave you into the world, the feeling of power, the feeling of nuturing.”
However, Molyneux was quick to state that he’s not currently working on Black & White right now. “The trouble with being a designer now is that there are way too many ideas than there is time to develop those ideas,” he said. “I would love to do something like a Black & White again. I would love to do a Fable 4. I would love to carry on doing Milo, but there is only a certain amount of resources and a certain amount of time.”
