Peter Molyneux's "The Room"

Peter Molyneux presented this demo at GDC 2005. It was made for a competition over a fake license based on Emily Dickinson's poetry. Since then some features seem to have been implemented in Fable 2. I did not film this, this is an excerpt taken from GDC-TV. (the full presentation can be found on their website)

Molyneux is far too confident about not ever releasing that portal stuff... a bit of a shame actually as you could do really cool gameplay stuff with that.

I agree, but as far as confidence goes, he's not going to waste that portal idea in my opinion. Even after the release of Portal by Valve.

Do you realize how long it would take to make a game like this? I'm surprised it's been 2 years. I would expect something more like 3-4. Don't call Peter a shithead.

Why are you always playing psychologist Peter? If you don't stop you'll end up in a hospital on Guerrero Street.
