If Molyneux is involved in any way other that acting like a mascot-like character for advertisement, it is guaranteed to be garbage.

It could still be garbage without Molyneux's involvement. Anyone remember the Deus Ex "remaster"?

    Maybe this time we'll be able to plant a tree and watch it grow in real time.

    This brings back memories. It's a real shame that the original is so difficult to get running nowadays

    The teaser is:

    I think there are people working on a Black & White remaster. But it would be inappropriate for me to talk about it.

    Well, gosh, consider me barely more interested than I was!

    (I would play a Black and White remaster but yeesh)

    Yeah I'm too old to be excited about games, but at my age it feels like I see a new game coming soon then by the time I pick it up everyone is bored of it.

    That said I'd love to play a new black and white, even a remaster. I didn't play it much (believe I played 2) but what I did was so amusing.

    Figured I'd add this old penny arcade comic about it, does get the feeling of managing your creature. Took me like 4 searches to figure it out. old comic

    So, you know, getting a big developer like EA who owns the rights to Black & White 3, and Microsoft who own rights to Black & White 4

    Studios sell the rights to future sequels to different companies? I never knew.

    So EA was the publisher for Lionhead for the first two, and likely had 3 as right to first refusal to publish as part of their contract. But Lionhead was bought by Microsoft, so they'd likely have the rights to anything not already contracted to another company
