I'll re-post this here just because its so damn funny. :D

Peter Molynuex of Lionhead asked for a Revolution in 2004?
April 10th, 2006
Joystiq.com has reported an interesting quote with a video from the maker of Fable who spoke about controllers at DICE 2004:

“I reckon, and this is a real personal point of view, the greatest innovation in hardware won’t come from the next graphics processor, or the next processor, or the next console, or even the next PC. Someone, somewhere will come up with an input device that enables us to do games that we haven’t even imagined before … somewhere, someone is going to come up with a second-generation controller because, I would argue, the controllers we have now were designed to actually move around 2D worlds, and they’ve been hybrided for 3D worlds, and they’re still not good enough, and the number of times you have to go through and re-jig your game because of the controllers.”

Although Lionhead was recently purchased by Microsoft, its interesting to note that a developer was asking for a Revolution in the way you play the game.

snap!
