#1 Will be Molyneux himself, and we will all stick our tongues out in disgust. |

My bet on the #1 revolutionary, or possibly the #0 (?) would be Peter Molyneux himself. |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire  Posts: 10551 Joined: 23 Jul 2009    | maybe he is planning on making "famous people involved in revolution-ish things beat each other to death" the game? ... maybe not... |

This is what I thought at first too, but come on, he can't be that much or a narccisist, can he? Can he? |

And the quote will be something he said about Fable 2, describing how it would be revolutionary, co-op wise. |

Maybe for ultimate pretentiosness, No.1 might be Peter Molyneux himself, posed like Auguste Rodin's The Thinker. |

On the Record Posts: 6216 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 | Wait, I get it now... The #1 Revolutionary is going to be... The Player, You... take your pick. The game will revolve around revolutions of some sort and changing the political landscape on a personal level will be one of the major elements of the game. Mark my words. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 56 Joined: 12 May 2009    | My guess, Fable 3 will be based around some sort of revolution and you are the #1 |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1624 Joined: 24 Jul 2009 |
Oh, didn't think of that one... |

You could be onto something there... I heard that Fable 3 will be a prequel, set before the events of Fable, around about the time of the establishment of the Hero's Guild or even before that. The revolution could be when the Heroes revolted against the increasing corrupt Archon bloodline, and established the Heroes guild to protect the people of Albion. |

Good deduction there, If molyneux was reading this right now... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4619 Joined: 8 Dec 2007   | Should be amusing, to say the least. |
BANNED  Posts: 3668 Joined: 8 Feb 2009     | I bet number one will be Peter himself. He is going to be a video game "revolutionary", with his new "revolutionary" game. User was banned for: dam christmas brings out the babes . (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4643 Joined: 6 Sep 2008    | I still think it's Fable 3. Or some new IP. Either way it will sell well and dissapoint. |

This bloke seems to think what I do. Fable III, with a revolution based storyline. |

Same. Peter can always tickle a fancy but never deliver on the goods. |

See, I would buy that game, provided Molyneux doesn't flap his lips about it at ALL. |

Probably - or be so stupidly talked up, it'll never live up to its own hype. |

yeah that's what i'm thinking he's got a big enough ego for it he's done some great things but frankly fallen short on a lot of promises |
Beat Writer  Posts: 176 Joined: 17 May 2008    | Despite it already being announced, I think the only thing that really fits for this kind of campaign would be Milo, or something similarly Natal based. Fits with all the talk of revolutionising the way we play games and all that lark. I would love it to be Fable 3, primarily because, regardless of shortcomings and failed expectations, I've loved both Fable games when taken on their own merits... but announcing Fable 3 after this kind of build up would be underwhelming even by Lionhead's standards. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 641 Joined: 26 Sep 2008    | I'm going to bet that the next "revolutionary" will be the main character of whatever game they're counting-down to. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3993 Joined: 1 Nov 2007  | I can't wait to get on that hype train again. Last stop, disappointment central. Well...I suppose it could be something brilliant, but I'm not holding my breathe. While I may have loved Fable and Black & White, I hated the sequels. Maybe this will be a great new IP, that won't be burned out for another few years. |

Which means no.1 will be the lead charecter for the next game they're releasing (and that's assuming it's not based on a real person). Just realised I was ninja'd to this
Do you have a source for that? |

Probably should've guessed that, quite obvious when you think about it... |

Lionhead's Revolutionaries: Abe Lincoln, Aristotle, Emma Goldman
Lionhead's "revolutionaries" countdown site continued over the weekend, with Abe Lincoln, Aristotle, and - today's revolutionary of choice - Emma Goldman.
Lionhead's countdown started last Thursday, with the number "6" appearing next to the image (and quote) of famous South American revolutionary Che Guevara. On Friday, we got French Revolution mastermind Maximilien Robespierre as #5. Now, over the weekend, the site went through #4, #3, and #2:
Numero Quatro was good ol' "Honest" Abe Lincoln - an odd choice, to be sure, since he wasn't known so much for instigating a revolution as he was for suppressing one. Quoteth Lincoln: "Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward."
Number Three was famous Greek philosopher Aristotle. Now, Aristotle isn't really known for being a famous revolutionary (at least not in the sense of a rebel against an established dominion) - but one could certainly call his ideas and philosophy revolutionary. Aristotle was the tutor of famed conqueror Alexander the Great, and his quote reflects this: "He who is to be a good ruler, must have first been ruled."
Today's revolutionary - Number Two, for those of you keeping track at home - is Emma Goldman. This is a strange pick, since Goldman isn't nearly as well known as the company she keeps on the list. Still, if Wikipedia is to be believed, she certainly fits the bill, as a prominent figure in the anarchist movement in the early 1900s. "If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution."
We're left wondering who will be tomorrow's #1 revolutionary (my money is on either Lenin or the big J.Christ, depending on how pretentious Molyneux feels like getting), as well as "what the hell this is all counting down to?" Members of our community have guessed Fable 3, but announcing a sequel is hardly revolutionary, even by Lionhead's standards. Project Milo would have fit, if we hadn't seen it at E3.
I guess we'll just have to wait and find out Wednesday at GamesCom.
