Fable (Reboot?)

The rumor mill can end, our 4th Fable game is finally confirmed.

It's interesting to see Playground Games making this. They also make Forza Horizons....It's been in production since 2017 (Playground Studios opened a second office around that time)....so maybe 2021?

I never played the originals though....

If ya ever do, I recommend the first two Fables.

I'm curious to see how this'll turn out. The fairy in the cinematic doesn't really fit with my mental image of the Fable aesthetic.

I still need to play the original, which is apparently a great game but also the only good one.

Fable 3 sucked ass.

I loved fable 1 and 2. If u play 1 make sure you get the lost chapters version

If someone said they preferred Fable 2 to the original, I'd accept it as a reasonable position.

Or that yeah.

The main issue with the first game is it made tons of promises it didn't deliver on. Yet it was still a great game, but people at the time judged it less on overall quality and more on how much it lived up to promises made during development.

3/10 game, no acorns reee

This was one of the better reveals from the conference. Lets hope it lives up and evolves the series.

I liked the games. Yes, even 3; regardless if it is the worst. Looking forward to this.

I remember when Volition said they wanted Saints Row to go in a more "modern direction" with their reboot. Something something about managers and post-capitalist societies later, you either died of tear induced boredom or cringe.

What about all the games that have gone to a modern direction and thrived.
Resident Evil is a prime example of this.

But I guess we all want to stay in the past and play the same game.... or do we? It's confusing every week. 1 week its keep games in the past...the next week its "oh they are just rehashing the same game"

Playground games has made some excellent open world racers...they seem talented so lets see what the game is actually aside from committing suicide a the near mention of a single word.

That's gameplay you're talking about which is fine. The issue is 50/50 having Starbucks lounging hipsters as your dev team. Fable, like Saints Row, is open world satire the irl world of today finds their older games "too offensive". I hope Playground does actually take inspiration from the original Fables and try to improve on what that is and not something to forcefully shove down throats.

That's today world for ya, With its ****en cancel culture nonsense

probably why Gearbox has the Duke Nukem ip locked up in its dungeon and won't make a new game because it'll offend today's society in some way.

"Today's society" twitter you mean. Studios still can't tell the toxics harassing them on there aren't the total population of Earth yet.

In any case, gameplay standards better be what they meant. The Fable brand's been in a dormant state to the point of obscurity. Should Playground try doing what Volition recently did, we're not gonna see another new one for a long time if at all.

That society of today is pretty much with all social media now. Wouldnt pin it only on Twitter.

I think current elections have disproven that quite a bit. Social media was all about the red wave and other things, and it was completely wrong.

It happened with Bernie Sanders, Trump win in 2016 and etc. Hell, a local race was "decided" before the election occurred but was completely wrong.

Social media creates silos, massive silos of groups and you know whats worst....people cancelling people ...and people bitching about cancel culture as well. It's the same ****ing thing.

There is literally nothing offensive or even especially edgy about the first Fable that anyone, Twitter SJW or elsewise, would find objectionable.
