hello, welcome to the forums.

I'd take that more seriously though if Peter was known for keeping his promises, and not known for being a gaming tease

i mean, HOPEFULLY you're right, but I'm not too sure about that.

---

Yeah, I suppose you're right... Still cautiously hopeful, though

GAH IM GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK!

Too much potential for awsome

Bones were meant to break, thats why they mend. Skin was meant to split, thats why it heals.
The mind was meant to snap, thats why redemption is swift.

while the room is an awesome tech demonstration and all, i'm fairly certain it's not related to any of their games right now

In this German article from 2005 they say that parts of the room demo are somehow used in Dimitri. As I'm too lazy to translate that right now, try this. Not the best translation, but the interesting parts should be understandable.

I guess we'll all just have to see what E3 brings, but I'm not that optimistic about a new lionhead game being announced

 

Oh, I'm quite optimistic. Remember this?

 

Peter Molyneux:

We're going to be talking about Fable 2 today of course, next time I meet you we will be talking about our next new project, but today it's about Fable 2

 

By the way, hello everyone, I just joined.

 

Hmmmm ... So we might hear from Dimitri/Projet X after all

I was only expecting something after the release of Fable 2.

I'm not trying to be a downer but keep in mind that as you said, it IS from 2005...

still, I guess some of the tech developed will even feature in fable 2

E3 day one...keep an eye out for dimitri news

---

Well, Only 3 months till October and when Fable 2 is released we will find out what this new game is i suppose.

If you can't do the time then don't do the crime. Then again you can just post in here i suppose ->

E3 day one...keep an eye out for dimitri news

I've heard nothing about dimitri in day one of E3. Maybe today at the 30 min. conference with Peter Molyneux.

12:30 at the E3 "time"

---

i believe Fable 2 is getting shown off tonight..last chance for any dimitri news, eh....

Do you know what time will that be? I mean Europe time, UK time will also be fine

---

i saw that reply too late, it's all over by now for sure, but i THINK pacific time is 8 hours behind UK time

---

Well i wanted to see what wiki had to say about this and this is what it says...

The Dimitri Project is a code name for a computer game currently being developed by Lionhead Studios, creators of Black & White, Fable and The Movies. There has been speculation that The Dimitri Project has become Fable 2, however recent interviews with Peter Molyneux confirm that this is not the case.In fact, development on Dimitri has been stopped (and never got to the full-team stage), and it has been replaced by a second project, Project X, which may lean on aspects of Dimitri but is distinct

So is this thread then speculation of "Project X"?

Confirmation from E3 that Lionhead is working on two games.  At 5:00, Peter says that Lionhead is already working on the next game to be released.  Too bad he couldn't say anymore though.

I heard an interview with Peter, yesterday that he's working on 2 new games. I wonder what the other is?  That's great news.

---

I think it would be a idea for them to announce the new game BEFORE Fable2 ships out, to give fans something to start waiting for so that there's not "dead time" on the boards between when fable 2 is released and whenever codename dimitri is announced

     I wish we knew what they are up to. Probably has to do with Microsoft, not wanting anything to interfere with Fable 2. Just a guess, but Peter really looked as if he'd like to say. I've seen a lot of pictures of waterfalls, and boats. Maybe that'll be in one? Maybe in a new Lionhead Diary, there will be something mentioned soon?

---

I would assume that we won't hear anything until mid/late september AT THE EARLIEST, but that's just my opinion.

Hm, yes you're probably right. Maybe in an August diary? Wouldn't they want people to be at least more interested in it. After all, it seems a lot of people think it's only a rumor.

In the newest interview so far,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6Iul20GJsy8
molyneux says near the end

"there is another project at Lionhead, That we've been working on for quite some time. It's kind of the result of an experiment that went incredibly well, and then we thought 'this has got to be a game', and I can't say anything about it at all"

I know, bummer... but then he gives some more clues!!!

"I've always been fascinated by challenges, and I've always said to myself  'well, you know, one day i should really do a sports game' It's just simply because It's a genre that's locked in stone, like 'we    know    how     we     do      sports     games' and they don't do it any other way. That Is the real challenge to it. It's the same with things like driving games."

and here comes the conclusion

"what I want for the game I do next is a really big challenge"

after simply breaking it down and analyze it,
I've come to believe a few theories,
such as the fact that it'll be a game in a popular genre (not necessarily sports or driving), but it'll be done differently from anything before it.
I also think that it'll be a sim due to the previous posts in this thread,

what they mught have been experimenting with during the time they decided to make the game, was 'the room' and the portal technology...
One notable feature i remember was the real time ageing, and due to the pictures of the young boy and the oldman who bear some resemblence,
this might be the basis of the game...

But I'm just speculating and probably wrong,
you guys interperit it how you want to...

Saresa:

NinjasInKilts is actually a really fat scottish dude that beats his wife Surprise

     Yes, I've read that as well. Maybe it's a story on real  life?  On how we lived our life? I don't know. It's been quite a puzzle, trying to figure it out. Everything in that house can be moved. The pictures, you can even pull over, the bookcase, etc. I've watched that a few times. It's so realistic.
      He also has another game in the works. But no mention of what that is.

Here's another interesting article: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Peter-Molyneux-039-s-Next-Game-Will-Revolutionize-AI-78993.shtml
The interesting part is

If you think back to the one thing about Black & White that was most fascinating, you’d have to say it was that creature that learned behavior and seemed, for a certain glimpse, to be alive. Imagine if you could take that and multiply it by a billion…

I was hoping for a RTS, where the millions of units you'd be able to command would have their own individual personality.
I believe we've seen something similar in Black & White 2, where you could recruit massive armies from your total population. The biggest army I managed to make was a plutoon with 500 swordsmen. I really liked their AI. The enemy units, however, didn't show much intelligence by sitting there right next to my walls, waiting to be crushed by rocks/fireballs/creature/arrows.
Anyway, antother piece of information PM managed to slip was that he had made a breakthrough with Dimitri, something totally new and revolutionary and that would make it to the covers of science magazines.
Sounds a bit like Spore, tbh.
Another thing is that PM stated that the room would not become a game, but some of the concepts shown in it might be a part of Dimitri/Project X/Fable 2.
I guess the only thing we can do is wait for more info, unless Lionhead packed us another mystery to solve.

If that's a sports game,
It'll be the only one that I'm ever gonna buy,
I hate the way all sportsgames are done the same way, it would be great if Molyneux fixed that..

The creature, the dog, the _______.  To me, it seems like they are working on AI, and Dimitri/ project X must incorporate some sort of AI breakthrough.  PM said on a recent E3 video that he was going to move beyond the RPG in his next game... give me some time, and I'll post the link.
