Lionhead takes a Fabled leap onto Xbox One with Unreal Engine 4

Lionhead Studios’ contributions to the Xbox platform and the modern gaming landscape via its Fable franchise are indisputable, with the critically acclaimed, best-selling series approaching its ten-year anniversary. Lionhead previously turned to Unreal Engine tools to build Fable: The Journey, which brought an adventure ripe with storytelling and beautiful scenery to Xbox 360 with integrated Kinect motion controls.

Fable always had decent but not great graphics but hopefully with Unreal Engine 4 this game will look allot better then previous titles.

malokevi3830d ago

Impressions from a closed-door gameplay showing at one of the conferences was "looks unbelievable".

I really can't wait to see how this one turns out. The visual flare of Fable in U4 on a next-gen console? Hellz yeah sucka!

4Sh0w3830d ago

Yeah I'm interested to see what they have going on with Fable Legends and Unreal 4.

BallsEye3830d ago

That pre-alpha build screenshots look great

Read some posts by devs on their forums. Said game looks already much better than on those screens.

christocolus3830d ago

nice...the reveal trailer was really awesome

Pogmathoin3830d ago

The gameplay sometimes had me so absorbed into it, that I forgot about the graphics.... never fantastic, but passable...

cactusjack3830d ago

haha unreal engine, lionhead is to lazy to even make their own engine.

Palaven3830d ago (Edited 3830d ago )

So I guess the biggest developers who used Unreal Engine last gen are lazy? Bioware, Gearbox, Irrational, Rocksteady to name a few.

SirBradders3830d ago

No but when a 1st party dev make stheir own engine they can usually make games alot better because they built the engine from ground up.

BallsEye3830d ago

Epic are masters and creating engines so for sure it's better than way. Also they can focus on making amazing gameplay and tons of content, instead of creating engine for few years.

SignifiedSix913830d ago

You just won the idiot comment of the day. Congratulations!

Whats wrong with using one of the best engines in the
industry?

It saves them LOTS of time and money from creating their own engine.
Also, almost all companies use 3rd party engines so there's no reason for 1st party studios not to.

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor64d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar64d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...

Deep Down is never going to see the light of day

porkChop2158d ago

Shame, it looked pretty cool.

IamTylerDurden12158d ago (Edited 2158d ago )

My top 10

Star Wars 1313 - This was my if Star Wars and Mass Effect had a baby, sorta..

Silent Hills - P.T. nuff said.

Deep Down - Visuals were stunning. Capcom, please.

Agent - it has become the R* version of TLG.

Bioshock VITA - It was legitimately planned and in the works, until it wasn't..

Visceral Star Wars - Visceral, Hennig, 3rd person Star Wars action.

Scalebound - Looked awesome early on, other than the Beats By Dre..

Prey 2

Infamous VITA (rumor)

IamTylerDurden12158d ago (Edited 2158d ago )

Infamous VITA was a rumor. It was to be called Infamous: Electric Souls and Nate Fox pretty much promised me. Darn you Nate.

The Santa Monica space RPG was a shame. Too bad SSM has such high standards, i bet it wasn't that bad.

gamerpop2158d ago

Star Wars 1313 and the recently canceled EA game were big upsets.

Raven7222158d ago

Fable Legends? Really? Every other game on that list I can agree with but that. That game never had hype. It had artificial hype from people who wanted it to be more than what it was looking to become. It was hardly ever spoken of outside of list wars and some poor schmuck who was forced to write about the game because it made an appearance at some convention. It wasn't what people wanted. They wanted a proper Fable game. They got a garbage asymmetrical multiplayer game in the vein of Evolve but even less exciting.

The 10th Rider2158d ago

Eh, I think the original concept was decent enough, even if it was nothing spectacular. However it felt like the more and more they showed the worse it looked.
