Not out on the PS3 I imagine? Still I actually liked most of Lionheads games so I'm hoping it will be at least profitable for them.

Im just ignoring the hype. It makes the game seem a lot better when you arnt expecting anything spesific. Still gonna get it, from all the gameplay videos i have seen it looks realy good.

People, DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING LIONHEAD CLAIMS.

Remember how God damned amazing Fable sounded? Remember how the learning AI in black and white was going to "astound us"? Remember how Fable 2 was going to revolutionize everything ever? Molyneux is playing you all like a fiddle. Fable 2 has a MAX framerate of like 30fps. It dropped to probably around 15 all the time, it was a steaming pile of ass for a game that didn't look very good, played like crap and (at least on my 360) crashes ALL THE TIME.

Fable 3 will be no different. Lionehad can't make a good engine, Molyneux scraps about 80% of his planned features since for any game to implement them all would take 10 years of development and what we're left with is an ugly, clunky, slow shell of a game that only tangentially delivers on it's promises.
I had it on 360, the framerate was fine, it ran well and never crashed... You may need to invest in a new Xbox? And besides from that yes the kingship thing sounds cool, but it'll probably be similar to overlord.
Well Overlord was a cool game so on that point im allready in the swamplands that is the asured buyers^^

a person after my head...
I say games are good when i enjoyed them, But i say that a game is fantastic when i can replay it... On my list is :
Star wars KOTOR (replayed about 5-7 times)
Fable 2 (On my 3rd replay now and intend to continue.. XD)
Mafia: the city of lost heaven (3-4th replay... Just an amazing game^^)
and a few more games^^

That was the "Fantastic list" XD

It seems kind of irresponsible for a king to go out questing.

Don't throw your money away. Fable II was godawful and Fable III will be a continuation of Lionhead's downward spiral. Whether you listen to the hype or not is absolutely irrelevant.

...as you could grow trees in Fable 2.
What?
that was what molyneux promised for Fable 2: trees would grow in game time and you could plant them and tons of other stuff that didn't happen in f2.
I didn't believe it then and I was right.
In other words, the kingdom stuff in F3 will be very basic.

Molyneux says you can be a king, I say bad tower defense game.


Next!

Formula I used: w = r - 10000a

Where w is what he said, r is reality, and a is awesome.

One of my friends was at a talk in Dublin recently in which Monlyneux was speaking and he apparently admitted that "when he talks about his games on stage he gets excited and might say more than he means too"

I have to say though, for pure enthusiasm he is one of my favourite devs.

My xbox IS new T_T
I just feel like on the consoles 30FPS is acceptable, I still feel like everyone should be aiming for 60.

Also, I'm playing at 1080p (720p upscaled in reality) so that might have to do with the framerates.

So you become a hero to the people and eventually rise up and become king? Huh, if only that had happened before in an RPG... oh yeah, it has. Many times. Most recent example to my knowledge is Dragon Age, though granted it is optional and requires a heck of a lot of special choices.

Seriously, Lionhead needs to stop touting the 'unique' flag because it really, really isn't that at all. I mean, the first game's most unique feature was being able to marry pretty much any non-unique NPC. The second game they tried, but once again failed hilariously with pointless features like the body scars and children. It felt like they were trying to make The Sims Medieval Fantasy but decided to just call it Fable II. I mean, I wouldn't mind this if the games were actually fun, but since the combat is even more broken than Dragon Age's even though it's more action-based I am skeptical about what the true appeal of the series is.

I think Fable 3 may get a purchase from me based on this aspect of the game. It sounds very interesting. However, if village idiot A can only respect me if I kill a certain amount of wildlife Z, than I'm throwing it away.
Don't! Send it to someone interested in that sort of thing. Or just throw it into a Korean internet-cafe, the sub-human inhabitants of the filthy, smoke filled, cesspole of sweaty pale Korean MMORPG players will find a use for it.

The Kingship does sound interesting, but I'm taking this with a MASSIVE Grain of salt. But alas, I'll buy Fable III not for the hype but simply to really see in my own opinion how well he pulls off the king ship. I'll be willing to give it an E-hug and a pat on the head, if I can pass a law making it so that every person pays me ludicrous, taxes and those who can't pay get sent to a barn in the middle of Albion to compete in Bare knuckle fights to the death, where the winner of fourteen brawls can be exempt from taxes that year.
