Dude just threw out the Witcher comparison because it’s the only third person fantasy rpg he could think of.

I don’t mind Fable being compared to the Witcher in terms of the scale of the game and stuff you can do since the Witcher 3 is a massive game. But Fable better still be Fable.

I have no doubt that in terms of tone and humor it will be like Fable, just look at the reveal trailer for it with the fairies and toads, haha. I can do without the toilet humor though.
And I’d be fine too if it has dark elements, hell, Fable always had some of that.

Cutting, sarcastic humor in Fable yes, farts, and chicken kicking no, but I expect to lose this battle due to them probably not wanting to upset the folks who for some reason feel as if the latter is a must for" Fable to be Fable."

From what I’ve seen on various threads, the majority of people want the latter out, so I don’t expect there to be any outrage if they do so.
Fable needs both. I never cared for Fable tbh maybe because the story /characters were so weak and even being british myself…never got or found the humor to be good.

Y’all are worried about the humor, I’m just out here worried about the writing based off what we’ve seen from Forza Horizon lol.
Didn’t they hire a writer from another RPG or action adventure game?
But even if not, I’m not worried perse. FH has been for as long as I can remember been this…cringey I guess? For lack of a better word. It’s become part of it now, personally I could do without it but that’s a different story.

Yes, Anna Megill of Control, Dishonored and Guild Wars 2 fame. I think aside from Ralph Fulton, there’s no other Forza people working on Fable on the design side of things

The team making Fable is almost completely different and they’ve hired writers with RPG experience

I didn’t play much of Control, but is the story good? Dishonored though, that’s good stuff!!! GW2 same thing, no idea. But I have faith if will be a nice story.
Dozens of developers specializing in RPG were hired to work on Fable. Although it’s being developed by the same studio as Forza, it’s like a completely different studio working on the game, and apparently, Eidos is assisting with development.

I recently played through Fable 2 and 3 for the first time (backlog is kinda big) and the things worth keeping is the fairy tale feeling and world, sarcasm and being able to be good or evil.
Keep that and do a modern open world, a good combat system, a proper inventory system. Oh, and don’t tie the good endings to a real estate sim grind ffs.

I won’t mind if it is open world, but I would prefer it to be hubbed because I think that Fable will be a better game with a more tightly crafted experience.
Not the same writers as Horizon, they hired entirely new writers for Fable team. Jesus, guys.
And a writer specifically mentioned that the game wasn’t immature fart jokes or whatever new thing you guys are worried about.

Maybe, but I think they can pull off an open world. It could work both ways though for sure.
Xbox needs to work with Platinum Games on a new game again, forget making a god of war ragnorok competitor, I want a Metal Gear Rising Revengeance type game from Xbox Game Studios.
We need more character action games after Hi-Fi Rush, let Ninja Theory create another action game like DMC: Devil May Cry. I want awesome games with hilarious dialogue and great soundtracks, less cutscenes, more chaos.

It’s going to be open world. It’s what Playground does.
Ok is today the day haha
