"Nintendo did a brilliant job of doing that at launch with games like Wii Sports and Wii Play - maybe Fable 2 is a defining title," said the proud father of the upcoming Lionhead RPG who admitted to not being tremendously objective when referring to Fable 2.
Molyneux then stated the PS3-exclusive LittleBigPlanet, which launches a week after Fable 2, has the potential to be a defining title. "I'm incredibly proud of what they've done, and it's just an amazing experience to see how their game has progressed," he said of the Media Molecule developers who are mostly made up of former Lionhead staff.
Sorry flame war lovers, Molyneux just ended classy on y'all!

When you think of the 360, you instantly think of Halo, Gears of War, Fable, and Mass Effect. When you think of the PS3, you think of....Resistance? Maybe MGS? they still need their defining title.
And that's not a fanboy comment. that's just reality.

Thats bull, Sony have NEVER had "that defining title" on any of the Playstations, let alone the PS3. You personally have your defineing titles.
And I am sorry, but no one thinks of Fable or Mass Effect when you say Xbox 360. They think of Halo, at a push Gears.
Molyneux just thinks he is the god of gameing for some reason.

Just one thing that confuses me, why is this post even on XB360Fanboy? It's about the PS3.
You don't see posts on PS3Fanboy about how crap the 360 is...

@Jake: The story has two points. One, Molyneux is hoping Fable 2 is a defining title. Two, Molyneux is discussing what he feels Sony doesn't have versus Microsoft and Nintendo. I don't think it has nothing to do with the Xbox just because it focuses on the PS3. Hope that clears it up for anyone.

@Xav de Matos
If what you claim is true, then shouldn't the articles title be " Molyneux thinks Fable2 is the next defining 360 title".
The fact you put the PS3 part as the headline clearly indicates what your true intentions are..
When does the free Vista laptop arrive??

@Jake: I wasn't aware Vista was a laptop brand.
If it runs anything like the operating system then I'm sure it sucks.
I use a Mac. Have a nice day.

that's really the point of the playstation. instead of finding a mascot and milking the hell out of it, sony just promotes their good upcoming games. i asked 5 gamers what they thought of when i said the word playstation and mostly they either said ps2 or ratchet. when i said xbox 360, they immediately said master chief. for nintendo, they said mario and sometimes link. i guess that's what makes it different. october 21 is gonna be a bad day for my wallet...

Sorry dicknJane but when you say Xbox you think of 2 things Halo or Gears, Mass effect and Fable? Not so much...if at all.
Metal gear has a bigger following than either ME or Fable, heck one could say Resistance does too.
As for defining titles that can be a good or bad thing, I'd rather my console NOT be known for ONE game, but rather a bunch of games that appeal to different people of all types.

LOL, this is typical desperate Microsoft tactics. Getting Microsoft employees going on record to diss the competition.
Funny, I don't see Nintendo or Sony doing the same, they are simply focusing on what THEY are doing, not what everyone else is upto.
Microsoft clearly see a scenario where the 360 will be in distant 3rd place at the end of this gen, and are resorting to sh1ttalking in a desperate attempt to change that.

Typical, eh?
Oh enlightened one, show us the oh so common other instances.
Where do you even get off making claims like that? You have not the slightest clue what north means to south as east is to west. Stfu./

I find it ironic that you're supporting a different console on a site that does not support it.. now THAT I find desperate :x

"No wonder the Xbox360 is such a piece of crap, Microsoft spends all it's time shittalking about what everyone else is upto...."
This first line proves to me that no one cares except someone along the lines of a PS3 fanboy.. who's spending more time on the 360's articles and news.. rofl

@jake
Do you really believe that nintendo or Sony is not paying attention to the competition? That would be a naive assumption. Anyway I believe all those titles are defining titles... Not necessarily because they are blockbuster sellers (which typically makes titles well known) but the unique gameplay it may have brought to the genre. Just because a game does not first conjure up an image of the console it was developed on does not mean it is not a significant title. Probably half the titles that brought pc gaming to the point it is today is not nessarily well known to most people when it was initially released, much less today.

Actually, Nintendo is the only one innocent i think. Sony actually paid some reviewers to give MGS 4 a good review(Other's stated that they had been offered money by Sony, but declined).

Any evidence to support that claim?
