What is this?!

On a serious note, nice to see the inovation that Molyneux and by extension Lionhead pride themselves on is shining even brighter with yet another Fable game!
thats just franchise abuse, i think we can quite safely not call this another fable game.
True enough.

Wow this looks terrible.

And I'd like to note that this is the most negative I've ever been about a game release.

Jesus, Fable 2 was better than decent. What happened? How many Devs developed and alcohol problem in the past few years because of this?

set in the Fable universe
... Fable has a universe?

I kind of remember those little gnome-like monsters from the first one. And I remember chicken-kick'n. I dont think those count as a universe. Apart from that, everything I can remember from Fable is generic towns, people, etc that were mostly filler background for the plot and activities.

When theyve changed the visual style, theyve changed the gameplay, and as far as I can tell so far theyve removed the plot and story... what exactly is left that would justify referring to a "Fable universe"? I have to agree with the above comments that they look to have just tacked on the Fable name to a random party game for some extra publicity.

Hey, Lionhead, remenber when you used to make good creative games like "The Movies" and "Black & White" instead of just things related to the Fable franchise?

Can't we go back to those days?
I really need to reinstall the movies -shame my copy is 6000 miles away. Oh well :L

I was hoping for Fable 2:But good.
So basically the next Fable that was a good as Fable 1. Still I actually wouldn't mind this if I had 3 friends to play it with...

I really don't understand all the hate and vitriol being aimed at Lionhead. I mean Fable 2 and Fable 3 did not live up to expectations but they were still pretty good games. Much better then some of the tripe that I have seen people call good games. Also this is not their next main game, it's just a side project that they are doing, a mini Fable experience. It's new, it's different, so what. It looks like it could be fun, I for one am going to buy it when it comes out.

Hey, uh, Lionhead? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

There I said it. Why can't you make a BETTER RPG for once? That's what we're asking for.

FAILING HORRIFICALLY

Why do they think turning a franchise into a kids party game IS EVER A GOOD IDEA

ITS NEVER WORKED

lol, but I think their target audience was college bro-jock meatheads, so the dumbing down wasn't aimed at children...just.....people who are mentally on the same level as children.

I dunno... I want to feel optimistic about this title, but it reminds me of so many other things done better that I can't get hyped up for this.

I wish they'd bury the Fable franchise already. It's associated with as much fail as the CoD franchise, but doesn't rake in as much profit.

I could see this getting a much more positive reaction if it didn't have Fable in the title. It reminded me somewhat of The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures on the GameCube, fun co-op but with the competative "who can gather more X" angle.

If it were named something like say... 'Little Heroes' or just 'Heroes' all of the Fable rage would be gone. There's no reason why it should have the Fable tag, it's more of a curse than it is a blessing.

So basically it's Castle Crashers, only in full 3D. I'll just play Castle Crashers, thanks. :/
Dont forget, this is a fable game and shares the same target audience, so it wont be nearly as difficult as Castle Crashers can be, and a cutesy version at that, so even easier. It wont even be comparable...

If its not so easy, and its longer than an hour (which being an arcade game, it wont be) ...it could be fun. But i know Lionhead and this is never going to be as interesting as Castle Crashers or Crystal Chronicles or Four Swords or anything... itll most likely be hold forward and mashing Y to shoot everything to death before it gets remotely near you...

Im also sad to see one of the only good characters to come out of Fable since the first being ruined even further. Chesty is not a chest with teeth. Chesty is supposed to be manipulative and play what it thinks are fun games, and bouncing around with a flapping jaw is not that.

I won't say Molyneux needs to die in a fire or anything but...

Yeah, I miss the Black & White days.

Oh, hell, let's be fair and extend that to the Fable 1 days.

Actually, no. I miss Dungeon Keeper.

I mean, I've played all three Fables to the point where my three dudes are all respectively OPed and I have no need or desire to reload my saves with any of 'em, but still. I couldn't tell you where and when it exactly happened, but I stopped feeling invested or moved by Albion and its lore a good long while ago.

Please, Lionhead. Try and find some tiny bit of your wits back, I really couldn't care less about this. The thing is, I *want* to care, because you guys typically put out decent stuff.

While some may mourn their broken dreams, this seems entirely too much like the natural progression of the series.
