XboxEra Community Hangout |OT9| Waiting for Developer_E3

There have been times, but not a ton. As for that release date, yep, expected. Actually, no. I was already assuming 2025 myself.

I now see it posted in the studios thread. So they actually claim the project has completely restarted, no ForzaTech but Unreal Engine now.

Let’s assume it IS true, then no way it can be 2024, can it?

I mean, I am expecting h2 2024 for Fable already lol

The only way that the rumor and date are both correct is if they changed engines years ago

If this is very old news then I guess 2024 might be possible but otherwise there’s no chance

Either both the engine issues and date are both incorrect or they have had engine troubles and it wont be coming until well after 2024, there’t no way that date is correct if they changed engines recently

But the stuff about starting from scratch with UE5 and then a release year as 2024 does not add up.

Also doesn’t go in line at all with what Matt Booty said. Now I know Matt wouldn’t go and say “things aren’t going too well, engine switch etc” but I would like to believe what he’s saying.

Just because they change the engine it does not mean that they would need to rework models, textures, particles (maybe) or even scripting (stuff like Lua or whatever for example).

In that case it could be true. Then 2024 isn’t out of the question. I didn’t realize this about models, textures, etc.

Ah, that’s more of an earlier release than expected. How the hell does that become a delay-thing? People are not bright. Weird for anyone serious to tweet about it.

In the end I have bought Sonic Frontiers, Tales of Arise, Elden Ring and … FF7R Intergrade :joy: Because I suddenly remembered that my company will compensate 250+ euros for public transportation this month :fire:

Not sure if I will play any of those but oh well.

Fable has been in the works for 5 years, how it could be next gen is unimaginable.

Edit: As expected it is a false rumor already debunked by many gaming media.

They indeed have “first half” on that page. I had to check that it wasn’t just Klobrille’s writing.

Lezzzzzgoooooooo

So let me get this straight. The experts on ForzaTech needed 5 years of full spead ahead development to realize ForzaTech is really really bad for Fable?

Sure :rofl:

We must start the year with a catastrophic exclusively for Xbox. Remember, this is the most hyped year along with very likely finalized grand conclusion of ABK acquisition. They can’t let Xbox have any momentum.

If any of these people that post any rumors without even doing basic check up. If they just go to Playground careers webpage, they would see that PG is still hiring for ForzaTech and not UE5. :joy:

I like Jez, and clearly Jez has actual sources, but he should not even respond to these kind of twitter post.

Jez will be Jez i guess, he seem to enjoy this kind of stuff.
