Peter Molyneux, talking about the prototype creature in Black and White.

"Well, [here's] an interesting fact that may or not be true. One of the sausages reminds me of the first prototype we had of the Black & White 1 creature."

"I for some reason had this obsession to make them anatomically correct. So the first version of this giant ape had this sort of beautifully physically correct - I'm going to say the word - penis dangling between its legs... which morphed depending on how excited your creature was."

"The idea was [that] there was going to be two creatures... I don't know what was going through my mind. I wasn't even on class A drugs! It was this bizarre thing. Especially in America! Even if you show nipples they go insane, rating it under-the-counter product. It just goes to show you just how rubbish I am as a designer, really."

NOW FOR THE BIG PAY OFF...

"They did actually model it - and the artist that modelled it ended up going completely insane. [He] threatened to knife me... absolutely true story. He went on to found Media Molecule. Chap called Mark Healey.

"Driven mad by making huge, sausage-like penises on apes - that's the sort of thing I get people to do at Lionhead."

What the hell? LOL

Amazing. Pretty funny that the dude went bonkers. I mean I doubt it can be attributed to the phallic construction but it's still a humorous story.

I wonder if he tried to make Milo anatomically correct too?

*Chris Hansen to Peter* "here, take a seat. Right over here"

Another reason for me to hate Peter Molyneux.

Peter probably promised the guy something for years, and never came through. >)

this made my day
