Developers that bashed their own games

Peter Molyneux is the man behind the Fable series of games. However, he’s not proud of that fact, depending on when he’s asked. Basically, every time a Fable game is in development, Molyneux talks about how great it’s going to be. As soon as they’re out on the shelf, however, he’s very dismissive of them. As GameRadar+ once put it, “Peter Molyneux still hates everything Peter Molyneux has done.”

He felt the first Fable was flawed, but otherwise a decent stepping stone to Fable 2, which he expected to be revolutionary. When Fable 2 was released, he said that he considered the storyline to be “rubbish” and the game to be filled with major issues.

After this, it was Fable 3 that was really going to blow people away. After releasing Fable 3, however, Molyneux referred to the game as a “train wreck.” Molyneux’s critics often feel that he over-promises when developing a new game, which often leads to a final product that is either underwhelming or vastly different from what was expected. It seems he tends to be disappointed in the same aspects.
