This article is way too negative and way too POV, 3 out of 4 alines are really negative about lionhead, it can't be on wikipedia 75% of the content of the article is how lionhead sucks. The least thing we can do about it is praising them for making really innovative original games instead of all those shooter-junk-games other companies develop. Anybody who knows something about wikipedia please make this more NPOV. Thank you !
Fable?
Added the right release date for BW2 :)

The controversy section is pretty terrible on the POV front. Sure, there may be a consensus that Monyleux overhypes games, but it's hardly the place of Wikipedia to endorse such sentiments. TheJames 01:52, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I would most defintately agree. If anything, Molyneux is guilty of being overenthusiastic about his games. He makes a habit of announcing planned features as if they were already in place. I think the sentance 'speech of dubious sincerity' could do with changing. unitled 07:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
In that case you are somehow taking the right to decide what Molyneux is thinking. The best thing would be (if this is to be mentioned) if it said something along the lines of that Molyneux on several occassions/for several games has talked about features that don't make it into the final version of the game. Wikipedia doesn't need to guess as to his motives. --Lijnema 22:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Any idea why BC and Unity have been removed from the list of Lionhead games? These should be there shouldn't they? Gravy 15:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I've brought Unity and BC back onto the page, couldn't see any reason not to Gravy 12:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MGS buyout
Microsoft's purchase of Lionhead has already been mentioned three times in the article already. Maybe people should check what's already been said and add to that rather than repeating the same thing several times. Optichan 21:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Dimitri Project
I decided to change the game Dimitri in the development section to 'The Dimitri Project' since the game hasn't been announced and that it is just speculation as to what the 'project' is called. --Gamer2325 20:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spore
I noticed Spore was among the list of games Lionhead's developing. I removed it, as Spore is being developed by Will Wright's Maxis Studios under the EA flag.
[edit] "Hype Controversy"
This section is unbelievably POV "Mea Culpa of dubious sincerity", "missed the point with stunning grace", ""hyping" their games to an uncommon degree" ; without some very reliable cites, it will have to go. The delays section suffers from similar problems. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 21:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm deleting that section. It needs a complete rewrite, not an edit.
[edit] Delays
Rewrote this section entirely:
Lionhead seems to get in more public trouble for their delayed games, in part due to the hype that Peter Molyneux, the lead designer, gives these titles, namely Fable. Various reports on this indicate a company tendency to re-design games mid-development and a tendency toward over-ambition, though few reports are official. The company is also always on the cutting edge of developing new technology, which adds considerably to their development schedules. Many games have been delayed for a long time which causes problems on the account that Peter Molyneux usually promises the certian time a Video Game will be realesed. Including Black and White which missed several deadlines intill it was finally realesed in 2001. The same case for The Movies which was intended for a 2004 realese date than was sleighted to 2005 due to problems concerning many things. This would lead to a series of Empty-Promises brought upon by Peter Molyneux due to the fact that he announces the games to early in its Production a mistake that Molyneux promises not to make agian.

- Someone should look into who wrote this, appalling bias and spelling in many places. -- ARC Gritt 11:12, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Movies 2
