Gameinformer:
"Today at a Microsoft press event in Germany, we chatted with Fable Legends game director David Eckelberry about taking the franchise in a new direction."
Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.
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)
There have been so many games from major developers that we have been excited to finally play, that somehow, in some way, got axed before they were ever completed.
It's time to take a look back, and pour one out for all of the lost brothers and sisters of gaming that were taken before their time.
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)
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.
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.
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.
Gamerheadquarters; "Fable is one of my favorite series, it was a great initial RPG for me to get into back in the day and honestly Xbox hasn't been the same this generation without it. "
I'm looking forward to what the other studio at Lionhead is doing. Probably launching a game in 2017 but I can't wait.
i've been in the beta for a couple months and played a handful of games, the matchmaking is horrid. Either it is horrid or there is not enough people because it goes 10 minutes queuing up for a game, i just end up quitting and playing a different game. Not a very good experience
I've been in the beta for awhile now and I must say this game is Horrible yes its a beta but I'd rather have a true Fable game then this Garbage
I have a feeling this whole game was designed so that they can make those characters and gameplay mechanics for Fable 4, but perfect them through Fable legends.
If my theory is true and they are working on Fable 4, that would be amazing.
