Is the future of Fable an online MMO free to play game in light of the new studio head being appointed.
Fable 4's development seems to be well underway, and a look at the original trilogy reveals a few elements the upcoming title needs to reprise.
One of the biggest reveals at this year's Xbox Games Showcase was the latest Fable trailer. After a lengthy stint of silence, Playground Games gave us a look at bits of the title, albeit in a trailer that was mostly made up of CGI nonsense headlined by comedian Richard Ayoade, who is playing a rather frustrated giant.
Molyneux asked about what he thought about the Fable reveal.
he actually was in the news every now and then with a (couple) scam games he made
The exact same thought came to mind when I read the headline. It's been so long since we've heard his lies and over ambitions.

Well, he's not associated with it. Giving interviews talking about features never at any point mentioned with devs let alone introduced.
It might have a chance.
Think you mean ethics.
Also, whose defending Molyneux? Wasn't his last game a literal ripoff with him offering a prize but not giving it?
The original Fable games were flawed masterpieces. How can the new Fable game keep the best parts of its prequels while avoiding the same issues?
"What The New Fable Needs To Be Better Than The Original Trilogy"
-pfft who wrote that title?
-Anyway if what they mean is "What the new Fable needs to *do better than the original trilogy", then I'd say stop trying to dictate what the new Fable should and shouldn't do or be. All I ask is that it has the spirit of the original but do their own thing and hopefully its good, thats good enough for me.
They're gonna jack it up, they always do, and really, bringing someone on board to pick up where someone left off, especially when Fable had the reputation it did (because the Xbox 360 during it's time put up a fight against the PS3 and really made PlayStation's job a rough one going), and that's a tall order to fill, it really is. Sure, it'll be pretty but it's not gonna be the same. Australian humor is quite different from British humor, it's cons getting dumped on a desert island by the truckload.
I'm sure it'll be okay, but not award winning
A potion created between some ideas
- the first two Fables
- a high fantasy setting
- an open world like the two new 3D Zeldas
Do that and you've finally put the nail in Fables coffin
It was bad enough Fable 2 and Fable 3 felt like it forced co-op friendly buddy buddy crap onto you.
so Fable is now officially dead?
I dont know what you guys are talking about but the nail was already put in with fable 3.
this is the feat of fable and the company... Bye bye
First I'll say that this isn't even a rumor, it is one person trying to take someone words and put them into a context that fits with a rumor he is trying to start.
A lot of people love Fable and I'm a huge fan, Lionhead was actually hiring people to work on a MMORPG, which might be set in the Fable universe, or it might be a totally new IP.
Not sure why they would release a Fable game as free to play when they sell like 5 million copies each, it would be counterproductive. I'm looking forward to seeing the facts on the next Xbox, the facts on games for the next Xbox, and the bit of crow eating a lot of people are going to have to do :)
