It was going to happen sooner or later. The Fable series is too popular to just leave alone after a second game, but I don't think Lionhead wanted it to be said that the Third Fable is being planned so soon.
Fable III Accidentally Announced
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I unfortunately have to agree with this....I love Peter's enthusiasm, but it just makes everything so disappointing in the end.Soxfan1016 said:
File that one under "oops, my bad".
Fable 2, in my opinion, suffered the unfortunate circumstance of being far too big for the britches it was trying to wear, and while it was decent, it wasn't the groundbreaking blockbuster everyone said it would be. Of course, some of this may be my own personal bias - developer shops with prominent front men making grandiose statements like Molyneux does tend to turn me off moreso than to tune in (for others, see: CliffyB and Mark Jacobs, and dare I say Shigeru Miyamoto is creeping dangerously close).
I guess I'm just a nuts and bolts guy. I like to se proof i the pudding - kind of like Jonathan Ross actually tweeting about Fable 3. Still, it'll be worth a Gamefly rental once it's out.

Oh lord thread necromancy!
Not complaining, it's just the first time I ever got to say that.
Anyway, you never know whether they even wanted to stick to fable. That's the biggest problem in the entertainment industry these days isn't it? sticking to the old. Maybe they wanted to try something new while putting Fable 3 ideas down also. Now that the public has heard of it, Molyneux might just be FORCED to make the next Fable.

The fucking 18th of August this was posted. The guy didn't drop the ball on anything, they had already "unveiled" it...

Yet another reason to avoid Twitter.
As if one were needed.
But on a more serious note, we were all expecting this.
