Enizr: "According to a job posting on LinkedIn, Lionhead Studios - maker of the popular third-person action adventure Fable series ¬- are looking to hire talent for a new project, supposedly a "MMO like title for next generation consoles. AAA game and budget!" The post suggests that the venture will be a brand new IP with a "radical new take on how co-operative and multiplayer gameplay feeds into the experience", and will combine online and singleplayer components."

while I like the idea I am concerned about how it will be because correct me if I am wrong put Peter Molyneux has transitioned on to new endeavors. This is a xbox game which and it is a MMO-"like" which means a monthly subscription on top of the xbox live subscription right???? Right???
They drive me nuts. If you're not already in the game with an established franchise, then you shouldn't be making one in my opinion. Yes, I'm still disappointed they did swtor instead of kotor 3. Yes, that has a lot to do with why I think this way.
Consoles? You mean Xbox and maybe windows right?
Nice cause it would be cool to have a decent MMO RPG for consoles.
Prob a big rpg thats fable-like and has some kind of demons souls online incorperating the sp and mp (hopefully). I dont like mmo's and something sp but with added mp or co-op without subs would be best for consoles. Im super hyped lionhead is trying something new i love them to death with or without peter m who i also love.
MS seems to be making many new ip's for next gen behind the scenes. Hope i get more awesome jrpgs from them. If they launch the nextbox with Lost Odyssey 2 its a day 1 even if i have to railroad old ladies and kids to get one lol.
