Once again begins Mr. Molyneux's infamous hype.


And, once again, I'll believe every second of it.

Maybe if we make Peter play his fable games then make him play Oblivion or Fallout 3 he will understand what a game that lets you make your own choices should be like, but thats a big maybe.

This. If anyone wants to enjoy this game, then I suggest you ignore everything that comes out of Molyneux's mouth from now until the game is released.
Personally, I won't be handing over money for this, I was far too disappointed in 2.

Well, so long as it improves Fable 2, I'll be happy. I found Fable 2 to be fun, so even a slight improvement would be good.

Could be interesting as long as it's not too pretentious.
More freedom in how your character looks, not starting off as a kid and a choice of animals for your side-kick (if they're keeping that from the last one) would be nice.
Not sold on the "leading the kingdom" bit. The option to lead the kingdom would be better.

I don't know...
I'm one of the few people who enjoyed Fable more than it's sequel. I appreciate the layers of influence Molyneux is trying to stack into the game so that it can really feel like you're having an impact on the world, but maybe he could start by giving the citizens more of a short-term memory. If your alignment is "good", then all you have to do to make up for stabbing someone in the throat is walk to the next screen, then come back. All will be forgotten!
If he fixed that, then maybe it would feel like I'm actually influencing the world, rather than simply playing an invisible numbers game.
And I get SO tired of him claiming he's going to reinvent the wheel. No, you're not. The wheel works just fine. If you have a better idea, implement it. Don't say you're tearing down the foundations of a very popular genre.

On a side note, did he really call Che Guevara a wonderful amazing person? He was a revolutionary, and there can certainly be a case made that certain regions would have been better off had he succeeded there. But wonderful and amazing? He travelled from region to region inciting violence. He wasn't a man of the people. He was a communist revolutionary for hire.

The sites looks horrible in Firefox on Mac... I hate it when people do that.

And I really have a hard time to link the countdown campaign of "revolutionaries" to this game.

Alexander the Great. Genghis Khan. Queen Elizabeth I. Che Guevara. Throughout history, revolutionary leaders have taken very different paths to power, bringing about prosperity and poverty, peace and sometimes anarchy to their people.

Now Microsoft and Lionhead Studios will explore the journey to rule, with you in pursuit of a kingdom, in Fable III, the exciting new game in the critically acclaimed Fable franchise. The title's debut was confirmed today at gamescom in Germany by Peter Molyneux, Lionhead's creative director, and will be available exclusively on Xbox® 360 in the 2010 holiday season.
Seriously, was that really necessary?

But would you pay full price for a slight improvement?

Anyway, I'm pretty excited, a proper free roaming world would be nice, I really hated the loading screens.
Hmm, true. Okay maybe a large improvement. Consisting of:
A larger, more open world
More spells
Revamped combat system (I.E. Fable 1 magic, dodging and enemies standing a chance)
More customization
A better economy system
Monsters dropping money, or you get more from questing (Please lord)
A deeper, more immersive moral choice thing.
Different looking weapons, and more weapon types

And I think that just about covers it.

I like that it's coming out...but I don't think I'll pay full price for it. Fable 2, although fun at parts was way too short.

I always thought that being king should mean some governmental power. I like the idea, and I would like to see where he goes with it.

Ancient powerful heroes fighting with RPG's and magic. If they can't make a cool game out of that premise, then Lionhead just isn't trying hard enough.

EDIT: Wait, isn't that sort of what Mass Effect did?... well, it worked. And in the case of Mass Effect, minus the ancient heroes bit.

If molynieux is to believed this game will loosly be tropico with updated graphics. However if experience is to be believed it will be fable 2 slightly updated with a 3 on it. I've known about this for a while, it was in the news that stephen fry let slip on his twitter he was doing the voice acting for it.
And several months before that the same thing happened with Jonathan Ross.

I for one am looking forward to playing this graphical adventure that doesn't have interesting characters, puzzles, areas or story.... Oh, who am I kidding, I never really liked Fable, no matter how many chances I gave it.

I wonder if people will believe the hype Peter says this time around. My money is on yes, but who knows, 3rd times the charm... right?
