Lets hope they can pull it off but they should keep their mouth shut until they know what will be featured in the game.

....What?

The secret game feature has something to do with the unconditional love aspect of the game regarding how your child would run up to you and hug you when you get back home or something.

I can think of only 2 things

1) All control is via analogue sticks, no buttons

2) Time passes in game as it passes in reality, no more 24 minute days, no more accelerated morning, noon and night and it's persistant - if you leave the game while you sleep it will calculate actions in your absence based on your save data and time elapsed.

Come back 3 weeks later and you'll find you land squatted by bandits and your church turned into a shrine to worship Skorm.

Considering how tight lipped peter molyneux was earlier... I think I can pretty confidently say that if he's talking about all these features they've been implemented already and are just being expanded on and tuned.

I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to any kind of...large scale feature. I don't give any developers the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this. They all try to act like they've revolutionized something and give it a special name, but it's never as good as they say. Take Oblivion for example(I loved it...one of my favourite 360 games so far) and its "radiant a.i." What the hell was so special about a bunch of simple preprogrammed actions involving "wake up - walk to point a - do something for 8 hours - walk home - sleep?" OOooohhh...PLUS, the got mad when you attacked them! WOW! That's some brilliant a.i. right there.

I just wish they would realize that what they have is usually not so special, and consequently, i wish they would treat it as such. And to be clear, I'm talking about features, not the games themselves.

Oh...another thing about features... I hate when shit like "wield 10 unique weapons" is listed as a feature. Since when should the fact there are weapons in an fps be mentioned with any kind of focus placed on it? Those feature lists suck so bad.
