R.I.P Fable

[LordOrin]

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

Maybe it will include a sperm shooting arcade game like in The Simpsons.

 

[Elijah Ball]

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.

lol, fable was dead when they slapped a 2 on the end of it.

Speaking as a fan of the Fable series, I think this is a good thing (and certainly not the doom & gloom that a lot of people seem to think it is).

I've no interest in rail-shooters or Kinnect games, but I'm glad that Lionhead have fulfilled their desire (or commitment forced upon them by Microsoft) to make a Kinnect controlled Fable game by making a separate, spin-off prequel (judging by Theresa's apperance, it's set between Fable and Fable 2), rather than by shoehorning Kinnect into Fable 4 (or even Fable 3 as it was once rumoured).

Fable: The Journey isn't Fable 4, much in the same was Fable: Pub Games wasn't Fable 2. It's just a separate project set in the same universe that utilised Kinnect so requires a totally different game style.

Halo Wars wasn't the end of FPS Halo games, GTA: Chinatown Wars won't stop GTA V being made, and Fable: The Journey won't prevent a more traditional Fable 4 from existing.

Well it was only a demo, we can't sure we know all the details about it, i think this is not exactly a sequel but more of a cash in, i think there will be a proper fable 4..... i hope anyway.

i hope there will be a proper fable 2 and 3. these crap-tastic titles aren't cutting it. Fable 1, even though it was buggy, was WAY better than this new crap PM keeps touting.


OT: im only getting a kinect for star wars kinect.

 

[Wolfram23]

Eh who knows... Dead Space Extraction was a Wii rail shooter but it was pretty fun...

 

[ZombieMonkey7]

I fable has been dead since fable 2, but this game is just igniting fable's corpse on fire then raping it

 

[JochemDude]

Peter, Have you lost your fucking mind ?!

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

Fuck you, Peter Molynuex. Fuck you.

 

[noble cookie]

Well, Fable 3 sucked ass, so i'm avoiding this one anyway.

 

[ABLb0y]

Well, there goes a series that has gradually been going downhill. Fable 1 was great, Fable 2 was ok, and the less said about Fable 3, the better. Still, no big loss.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Then falling down a well.

Then combusting spontaneously.

No signs of giving up on stupid gimmicks this year either. I wonder what comes next though. Can't wait till the storm subsides and all the trailers/announcements are out.

 

[Riobux]

Oh Peter, what did I do to deserve this? I feel like I broke into your house and killed your dog.

 

[NicholasT33]

I Still and will always love the original Fable.

 

[DustyDrB]

Meh, I only enjoyed the first game anyway.

Seriously, the magic system was absolutely broken in the sequels, and the inability to die made it laughably easy.

Yep. I said "Rest in piece" to Fable starting with the atrocious second game.

 

[-Dragmire-]

Don't worry, you can marry a random npc to rail shoot with you! Then have some kids so the whole family can rail shoot together!(npcs deal no damage, they're a cosmetic addition)

 

[Amos the famous]

Its sad. It went downhill from Fable 2.
I think Peter just gets a huge boner for his own ideas and is blinded to the reality of how bad they are and look.

 

[Inkidu]

Spinoffs don't count, spinoffs don't count!

 

[Caligulove]

Looks like a little jaunt into something different rather than an actual proper Fable IV

 

[Mr Companion]

Thank Christ this series is finally dead, it quickly became apparent by Fable 2 that any intended depth or innovation found in the first game had drained away and while I would love for Peter to create something he can be proud of it seems he is just incapable of it.It pains me, I like Peter and his hypnotic voice but this new game actually looks so bad even his enthusiastic presentation is for once not enough to even give the impression of quality even for a moment.
