"Peter Molyneux has revealed that he is bored of controllers, saying that it is the &amp;quot;Hollyoaks of gaming&amp;quot;. The departing Lionhead lead and creative director of Microsoft Studios Europe said gaming experiences now just involve a thumb stick and a trigger. &amp;quot;The joy must be, for me, is discovering it yourself,&amp;quot; he said to Digital Spy when discussing the lack of tutorials in Fable: The Journey. &amp;quot;And that&amp;#039;s something you never... and I&amp;#039;m going to get totally over the top here, and this is the stuff that gets me in trouble. I&amp;#039;m just bored to death with f**king controllers. I am!&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;[A controller] is about as experimental as a brick these days. Because you know what it is, whatever game you do, you pick up this controller and you do the same. Your thumb moves here, you can&amp;#039;t move your thumb like this, you can only move it like this.  &amp;quot;You finger goes here, you pull the trigger, and you expect an arrow to be fired, a shot to be fired from a gun, whatever it is, and you use this finger occasionally. That&amp;#039;s it. That&amp;#039;s it.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;And this is the whole of your experience, the entirety. 100% of your experience in this game is what you do with this thumb and this finger. That sounds rubbish.  &amp;quot;If I would come into this [Microsoft] Spring Showcase - and let&amp;#039;s imagine if the world was the other way round. Imagine if we had Kinect and I came in and said look, this is the best gaming device in the entire world, and you said, &amp;#039;Oh really? What&amp;#039;s it do?&amp;#039; You can use your thumb, this finger and this thumb - you&amp;#039;d slaughter me!&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s got to be more, man. There&amp;#039;s got to be more than that. This is like the Hollyoaks of gaming. I mean, it is. Okay, you can sit and watch Hollyoaks from &amp;#039;til the cows come home and you can feel your life draining away from you. I just want people to approach a gaming experience and think, &amp;#039;What if I do this?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Molyneux later described examples of open situations that players will encounter in Fable: The Journey, such as getting their horse&amp;#039;s attention at the start of the game. Fable: The Journey will be available exclusively on Xbox 360 later this year, with a rumoured September release date. &amp;gt; Peter Molyneux to leave Lionhead Studios, Microsoft &amp;gt; Peter Molyneux&amp;#039;s career in pictures - Theme Park, Fable, more View a gallery of Fable: The Journey screenshots below: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
