Molyneux: Black & White with Kinect support would be ‘really super cool’

Kinectimals has players bonding with five different giant animals and teaching them tricks. Lose the “targeted towards children” angle and add in some gleefully destructive god tendencies and you’ve basically got Black & White. So, are we going to see a Kinect-powered entry in the series eventually? Creator Peter Molyneux says it’s an interesting idea, but he’s far too strapped for time right now.

 

 

 

 

Kinectimals has players bonding with five different giant animals and teaching them tricks. Lose the “targeted towards children” angle and add in some gleefully destructive god tendencies and you’ve basically got Black & White. So, are we going to see a Kinect-powered entry in the series eventually? Creator Peter Molyneux says it’s an interesting idea, but he’s far too strapped for time right now.

 

“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 told UGO. “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 nurturing.”

 

That’s the creative side talking. The more realistic side isn’t too optimistic.

 

“The trouble with being a designer now is that there are way too many ideas than there is time to develop those ideas,” Molyneux explained. “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.”
