R.I.P Fable

[Mister Benoit]

I'm amazed people actually like the Fable games to be quite frank. They're shallow in every aspect and they don't do anything new.

Fable II was probably the biggest disappointment of a purchase i've done games wise.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

I'm not sure I would have bought Fable 4 anyway. Fable 3 was a piece of shit.

But making it a Kinect game makes it an easy decision for me. No way am I ever getting a Kinect.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

What?! Do you have any links for this, because I want to laugh more.

Talk about going down hill... and then falling off a cliff

Then falling down a well.

Then finding out that there's a portal at the bottom of the well...that's connected to the hill that it just went down.

 

[GrimHeaper]

RIP Fable. If only they hadn't made Fable II.

/thread I wish I played #1, but I know it's better.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Because rail-shooters always kill a series.

I mean look at what Link's Crossbow Training did to the LoZ series. We'll never have another proper Zelda game ever again...

 

[Jeremy Hanna]

There is a place for rail shooters. In an arcade with a big, pink plastic gun. That's always been fun. But there aren't many expectations for those. Fable has a following and a certain expectation regarding storyline and depth. I feel like it won't be able to achieve this as a rail shooter.

Also, fuck kinect.

 

[Jim Grim]

It's dead because they're making a spin-off I don't like! AGH!

 

[plugav]

well they have just anounced Fable the journey and it is a frigin kinect rail shooter.

But is that an official Fable 4 or just a spin-off?

Because if it's a spin-off then I think you might be overreacting.

R.I.P Fable I used to love you.

Good thing I love rail gun shooters! Really, I never knew. What are your sources?

 

[GrimSheeper]

People still enjoy having their dreams crushed by being hyped up as hell and then realizing it's just a hack&slash with fart mechanics...Fable The Lost Chapters was nice, but then it went downhill really quickly.

 

[Alphavillain]

I can't imagine ANY game turning out well when it's envisaged as a "Kinect rail shooter". You could get Shinji Mikami, Shigeru Miyamoto and Tomonobu Itagaki together to work on a new game and they'd run screaming from the room at the very mention of the phrase.

My source is peter moleneyux anouncing it live on video at E3

 

[WorldFree55]

peter?....ugh .

But no, the franchise has not died or will not yet. This isn't even a sequel, just Fable the Journey which is most likely just a random spin off.

Lion Head, before the release of Fable II announced that they were going to make Fable 3, 4, and 5. We will just have to see if one of those 2 (4 and 5) will either be a proper sequel to Fable 1. Despite the fact that i enjoyed Fable 2 but Fable 3 was not horrible or really bad by any means, just showed nothing compared to the first one.

I'm still astonished people play rail shooters outside arcades.

Speaking of arcades, do those things still exist too?

hah me and my friend picked up house of dead overkill for the wii one night when some people were over, its hilariously over the top stupid, but its awesome because of that, but we got it for 10 bucks, so it was a steal, but not worth more than that at all

 

[LordOrin]

But how will I be able to start a family in a fail rail shooter?

Maybe it will include a sperm shooting arcade game like in The Simpsons.

lol, fable was dead when they slapped a 2 on the end of it.

 

[Jamash]

Speaking as a fan of the Fable series, I think this is a good thing (and certainly not the doom & gloom that a lot of people seem to think it is).

I've no interest in rail-shooters or Kinnect games, but I'm glad that Lionhead have fulfilled their desire (or commitment forced upon them by Microsoft) to make a Kinnect controlled Fable game by making a separate, spin-off prequel (judging by Theresa's apperance, it's set between Fable and Fable 2), rather than by shoehorning Kinnect into Fable 4 (or even Fable 3 as it was once rumoured).

Fable: The Journey isn't Fable 4, much in the same was Fable: Pub Games wasn't Fable 2. It's just a separate project set in the same universe that utilised Kinnect so requires a totally different game style.

Halo Wars wasn't the end of FPS Halo games, GTA: Chinatown Wars won't stop GTA V being made, and Fable: The Journey won't prevent a more traditional Fable 4 from existing.

 

[William Ossiss]

Well it was only a demo, we can't sure we know all the details about it, i think this is not exactly a sequel but more of a cash in, i think there will be a proper fable 4..... i hope anyway.

i hope there will be a proper fable 2 and 3. these crap-tastic titles aren't cutting it. Fable 1, even though it was buggy, was WAY better than this new crap PM keeps touting.


OT: im only getting a kinect for star wars kinect.

 

[Wolfram23]

Eh who knows... Dead Space Extraction was a Wii rail shooter but it was pretty fun...

 

[ZombieMonkey7]

I fable has been dead since fable 2, but this game is just igniting fable's corpse on fire then raping it
