Fable 3 officially announced

[plastic_window]

I quite enjoy the world of Fable, but the direction it took with the last game was deeply disappointing. The world itself was still the same, but the gameplay was unrewarding and shallow. I liked the towns, I liked the moments where your decisions genuinely changed things and I liked the scenery.

As long as Molyneux takes it upon himself to impliment the gameplay from the first Fable, make the story a great deal longer, remember that boos fights are meant to be challenging and keep in mind that some RPG conventions (like getting gold for completing quests) are conventions that work.

I realise that Molyneux is trying to create realism in Fable's world, but realism, as far as I'm concerned, is dispensable if it means the game can be more fun. And as Fable 2 proved, having an everyday job in a game is not fun.

after yahtzee's review of fable 2 its pretty clear to me now that peter molyneux does not know what gamers want, he keeps trying to make games innovating by adding the ability to get married, have jobs, buying houses, and now making property taxes and whatnot, but thats just a medieval version of the sims with a side game where you can go hit enemies for a while.

there doesnt need to be the ability to make taxes if you rule albion, wouldnt you rather have an army or something? he needs to make the game itself bigger because he promised those thing for fable 2 but it was only slightly larger than the first

Oh my God not another one.

The key to enjoying Molyneux games is to completely ignore them until they're actually released. It did this and I had a lot of fun with Fable 2.

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.

Same i enjoyed the first one so much but the second one wasn't even in the same league as it. I probally won't get this unless i hear it's just as good as the first

I liked fable 1 and TLC but never played fable 2 because it wasn't on the PC. Let's hope that fable 3 will be on the PC.
What am I thinking, there will probably be no PC version *sobs*.

Hope it's good. I enjoyed Fable 2, but it wasn't amazing. Maybe this one will take the cake.

 

[Arbitrary Cidin]

The fact is that Lionhead, and specifically Peter Molyneux have this problem of refusing to look at any of their games as "What Jesus would be if he was a video game.", so they never fix the problems from previous titles. The combat's still going to be imbalanced and getting your character to look and play how you want is going to be difficult (Go play Fable 2 and try to make a tall, thin man who exclusively uses a katana or a sword). But beyond that, they just make additional problems. I honestly would play Fable rather than Fable 2, even with Molyneux's sworn publicity that Fable II is better, faster, stronger, and so on. Fable III won't be different and neither will that Milo thing he's working on. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPIbGnBQcJY]

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.

or better yet we get rid of peter and have bethesda take over the fable franchise, maybe then the games will be worth something more than just dicking around

 

[mannaroth]

Blah, I never cared much for Fable because of the first one's length.

 

[CuervoJoe]

I do adore the fable series, but I hope this is innovative and doesn't follow the old staid formula that was followed in Fable and Fable 2.

 

[happysock]

Jonathan Ross has announced on his twitter page that "Fable III officialy announced so I can now reveal I play Barry, a junior accountant needed in one of the quests."

 

[Crayzor]

Hmmm... This may be good, as long as I ignore every word out of Peter Molyneux's mouth for the next year. I really wanted to like Fable II, I did, but what was promised and what was delivered didn't really match up in the ways I expected.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

YAY! I'm genuinely excited by this news, I love Fable and Fable 2, and I'm willing to bet I'll love Fable 3.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

I think Peter Molyneux will, once again, feed us with empty promises.

I'm starting to feel that Peter is truly the most pretentious VG director in a long time.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Great, I hope it's as good as Fable the original...
I need to get my 360 repaired.

 

[hix24]

The original Fable was for me one of the best games of all time, hopefully number 3 can recreate the same magic as the first one.

 

[Versago]

I think Peter Molyneux will, once again, feed us with empty promises.

Agreed, he needs to watch Yhatzee and get a reality check.
The annoying thing for me isn't that he fails to deliver - its that he promises unwanted stuff.
I do not care about trees that grow in real time - cool as they would be, its kind of unnessesary.

I hope they improve the final fight for this one. Killing lucien in Fable 2 was really a let-down. You spend years chasing after the guy, and then he falls down the spire and dies.
ONE HIT KILL.
On the MAIN FUCKING BOSS.

Burn in your chair Molyneux and another fantasy roleplay company take over, or at least help.
Like Capcom - make it like Breath of Fire
or Valve - make it so you CAN jump down 2 feet even WITH i tiny angle on the plane.

Honestly stop with the invisible walls.

PETER MOLENEUX!

Put armour, paying quests, longer story and better side quest in this game! I bought both games you owe it to fable fans not to fuck this up as bad as fable2! (which odly i still like)

Also make jobs not shite. pressing A over and over was a crap idea. A better one? minning ore; walk through a mine with a pick axe equiped prospect for ore, hit the wall enough, get ore, sell ore. different ores worth different amounts iron, bronze, gold ect.Or hunting, kill animals, skin 'em. lastly make either one giganticly big massive world map, like oblivion, or 2 or 3 massive maps. I'm sick of tiny line like areas and so is the rest of the fan base!

Question to all readers:

Since i have so many fixes to make to fable 2, WHY AM I IN THE FAN BASE!? do you think;

A; i'm still hoping that 3 will be great.

B; fable the lost chapters was enough to convince me this series was good.

C; i should lay off the weed.

(fan base, yeah i know, but it doesn't make me a fan girl.)

EDIT: i meant fan boy.
