I wonder if this is a good thing, Lionhead were true innovators but didn't do all that well against the shoot-em-up brigade. Let's hope M$ game division will let Peter have a free reign !

I think he will fit well into the overpromising/underdelivering mentality at M$. As much as I love the old Bullfrog games (Populous anyone?), his newer stuff isn't that hot. Case in point - Fable. Looked/sounded cute, but I've completed it in like 8 or 10 hours and the notorious good vs. evil development Molyneux is so fixated on had close to zero effect on gameplay. Compare that with Oblivion - I'm playing it 50+ hours now and I haven't even been to all the major cities yet!

Yeah but maybe with actual funding behind him he'll be able to get something done.
