R.I.P Fable

[LavaLampBamboo]

I really like the Fable franchise, but this... This isn't what Fable's about... It just seems ridiculous.

I really hope this isn't Fable 4. I hope they try and get the series back on track.

So long Fable, fair thee well.

But how will I be able to start a family in a fail rail shooter?

Please stop the puns, you're hurting my ears.

OT: It might be good, let's stay positive until we find out more.

2 questions:

Are you positive its not a mini game and its the actual game?

and

Are you positive this is Fable 4 and not a side game like Final Fantasy Dirge of Cerberus (there was still normal FF aside from that)?

 

[LordGarbageMan]

I said RIP when Fable 3 came out lol. I mean I would have during Fable 2, but I was willing to stick with it on the promise of a better sequel and well...

...And it was getting so close to me liking it...

For the first question: Yes. They showed extensive demo of the game at E3. It is a rail "shooter". Actually it's more of a rail "gesture-er". A rail "gesture-er" with significant delay and a strange targeting system.

Second Question: It's call something like Fable: The Journey. Not exactly confirmation of Fable 4.

Looks like my collection of Fable games will never be complete now. Dammit. I have every Fable game to date on all systems they came out on (the limited collector editions too) because I love the games so much, but I will NEVER buy a Kinect only game. EVER!

EDIT - Nothing against Kinect itself, I just don't like to use it. I also hate rail shooters.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

What?! Do you have any links for this, because I want to laugh more.

Talk about going down hill... and then falling off a cliff

Then falling down a well.

and the well has bears.

A rail shooter seriously? Well that was unexpected. Strangest move in the history of franchises me thinks.

RIP Fable. If only they hadn't made Fable II.

No offense, but what made Fable such a great game that Fable 2 didn't have?

If you wanted to break down Fable and it's successors I would say that Fable was the most overhyped POS RPG to come out in the last decade.

"You can DO ANYTHING" they said.

But despite such 'freedoms', the games all felt very small, forced, LINEAR [did being good or evil really ever actually affect the storyline? only in the absolute most superficial ways] . Maybe they got Fable confused with Morrowind, Idk, but that was a way better game, glitches & all.

Fable 2 was the refining of what was already a second rate RPG.

We can't be sure this is what Peter's pouring all his resources into.

Take Link's crossbow training for example.

Soon after that, they announce Skyward Sword.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Ok, they've really fucked up, now.

Fable Mistakes:

Inability to Die
That... DOG
Messed up the magic system

And, add: "Make it a rail-shooter".

I said "R.I.P" when Fable: II was announced.

 

[jigilojoe]

Didn't fable die a proud death after the first one? That's the way I like to think of it cause the rest of them are terrible. So so so terrible.

 

[Sun Flash]

As an unabashed Fable fan boy who is also fond of Kinect...

I am sad. If the whole game is like the demo (first person, on the rails, Kinect-centric) I won't be buying it.


MOLYNEUX!

*throws fist to the sky*

And let us know that we shall allways remember a beloved fanchise now we need to make sure no one gets this because if you look at comments here:
http://lionhead.com/blogs/fable_2_development/archive/2011/06/06/fable-the-journey-announcement.aspx

Its clearly stated that 50% of all the fans on that site have lost their mind.

 

[artanis_neravar]

well they have just anounced Fable the journey and it is a frigin kinect rail shooter.

R.I.P Fable I used to love you.

There is no way you can know that it was a rail shooter from that trailer

 

[Canadamus Prime]

How would a rail shooter work on Kinect anyway? I mean how the hell would that thing know you fired?
