The PlayStation 3 lacks any games with “oh my god” moments. That’s how Peter Molyneux, the guy behind Fable 2, Populous, and Black & White, explains his earlier remark that the PS3 lacks any defining titles.
And how does he define “oh my god” moments? Think Aeris. Her death made many a gamer weep. In fact, Molyneux believes that Final Fantasy VII defined RPG as a genre:
I always remember back to Final Fantasy VII, when I first played FFVII, that to me defined the genre. Those were the ‘oh my god’ moments, I don’t believe they exist. I haven’t seen many of those on the PS3.
If you guys remember, he also remarked that Fable 2 could be the defining title for the Xbox 360. Wonder how many times gamers will go “oh my god” while playing it. He also said that LittleBigPlanet may be the PS3’s defining title. So does he expect gamers to go “oh my god, that sackboy’s so cute”? Or does he expect Sephiroth to come in and start a sackboy genocide? Yeah, that’ll make me go “oh my god.”
So before you guys lay down your own opinions, remember that Molyneux is a gamer himself, and owns all three consoles:
This is very much me as a gamer talking, not as an industry spokesman. I’ve got a PS3, a Wii and a 360, I’ve got just about everything.
