… Phil’s already given a pretty good answer on this one. " Speaking on a podcast with IGN, Spencer was discussing Avowed’s core fantasy setting, and went on to explain that “Fable’s never been that”. Elaborating, Spencer says “Fable’s always been a little more light-hearted, a little more British I think I can say. I think Playground will keep it there”." Taken from here Plenty of black humour in the fable games and like all comedy it’s moved forward between then and now even in Britain :). Good chance there will still be farting though.

Good. Taking out co-op and removing the goofiness seems like a good way to make it NOT Fable.

can we agree that fable 3 took the goofiness too far ?

That expression system has got to go

Building friendships by repeatedly farting is…not compelling to say the least

Coop is the last thing I remember about the Fable franchise.

Coop is the last thing I remember about the Fable franchise.

Only reason I remember it is because I believe there were acheievements tied to coop and to get all the weapons you needed to trade with other players or something like that

I really like how they showed off the Halo campaign today and hope they use this format more going into their future games. Your Redfalls, Avoweds ,Starfeilds , Perfect Darks etc , should get similar showings with a narrator going through the gameplay systems and such.

@pg2g

Imagine how that would look with Ray tracing lol

The Halo showing was really cool. The most impressive difference for me was the brute chief at the end (forgot his name). He looked baaad last year and now there’s actual detail on his face lol. Looks good.

What are your expectations? I’m thinking Fable will be a massive ARPG with semiopen world, kingdom building, great graphics, choices and dark humor.

Everything sounds great here, but kingdom building? Personally I don’t need any kind of building stuff in a RPG. But at the same time I won’t mind it if they have created a beautiful detailed handcrafted world with towns, a city, villages full of life and then on top of that there’s optional building stuff.

Fallout 4 with the settlement building stuff, it was aight, a nice brief distraction of like an hour tops until I wanted to go back to the world BGS had created themselves.

The video was narrated by Jen Taylor aka the real Cortana.

I’m willing to bet that AoE comes to console in the future, I really don’t see why not. With m+kb support for the sweaties and controller support for the “casuals”. I’m convinced that making controllers work is not impossible for a multi-trillion dollar corporation.

It won’t be as good as m+kb, but that same situation holds true for Halo, Sea of Thieves and other Xbox games which lives happily on both PC and console.

Porting PC RTS to console will be significantly more difficult than porting PC FPS, because RTS are usually much more complex. There have been numerous attempts in the past, but I don’t any of them turned out great.

I remain skeptical, but it would be nice since RTS’s are niche games and they could use a playerbase boost. As long as it’s not at the expense of PC gameplay, while also working well on controller and that’s the main problem.

I’m sure they can do it: XD

Age of Empires II on PlayStation 2!

We also have the recent example of Football Manager: a dedicated console port alongside the standard pc game.

I’m waiting to see it because they don’t do it since RotTR and media is ready to react badly against Xbox, I think they should simply acquire the studios making the games, lol, so there is no “but”. XD

I’m thinking like how Fable 3 was where your decisions evolved the town. Though I’d love it to evolve a but more like how Dragon Age Inquisition or Suikoden did it.

I dont think its Dying Light. Probably something like Saints Row or Tiny Tina.
