Molyneux's secret project is hard to describe

People won't understand what it is until they see it.

Speaking to Times Online at GDC earlier this month, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux dropped a few snippets of info on his secretive new game currently in development to utilise motion controller, Natal.

"We are at the moment making something whose title I can’t reveal, but you saw a glimpse of it at E3 (in the Project Natal demos). It is so different and new that trying to get a focus group to look at it and respond is almost impossible," he said.

He likened the new game to something like the bicycle, claiming you'll have to see it to understand it.

"Imagine if I invented the bicycle and tried to explain it to you. If I told you I'd invented a machine that could go at 30mph and that travelling on a piece of rubber this wide would be the most popular form of transport in the world, you would look at me as if I was some kind of lunatic. You have to build the bicycle first," Molyneux explained.

It's assumed the secret game Molyneux talks about involves virtual boy Milo - first seen during a technology demo at E3 2009. Only last month the Lionhead man revealed that Milo is to return as a character in a bigger story.
