LOL, what else is there to say?

Christopher5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

So... we'll be seeing horses riding humans as glitches in Fable 3 as well?

:p

Ok, I kid. A bit.

As far as using shops to sell items rather than lists... Wow... how inconsequential to the overall gameplay.

@others: people should really read the article... they're not talking about anything other than how R* handled shopping. Nothing else.

N4PS3G5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

That's good, as long as it doesn't turn into a borefest

@below.

What? Being influenced by Rockstar is not good?

There's so much things a game like Fable could learn from R* games without being alike. Better open-ended world, character interaction, gameplay mechanics, mini games, voice acting, story telling and more.

Red Dead Redemption is one of the highest rated games this gen and one of the top candidates for Game of the Year, i don't see how that game "sucked". Being influenced by those games is good...as long as it doesn't turn into a borefest (if not done correctly)

It's your opinion but with all their games averaging so high...i fail to see how R* games "sucked" this gen
(aside from personal opinion of course)

MariaHelFutura5039d ago

How is that good?

First off Fable is nothing like R* games, Second R*s games have kinda sucked this gen. IMO.

chak_5039d ago

suck?

lol no, you might not like it, but hell, they don't suck.

SephireX5039d ago

Rockstar suck this generation. Are you mentally retarded? GTA IV rocked and so did Red Dead Redemption. Just look at their metacritc scores.

Syaz15039d ago

it doesn't suck, it just caters to a more specific group of gamers, like those playing games just for fun, instead caters to those who plays patiently and enjoy the story. same goes to rdr, though i didn't enjoy the storyline, feels like a bunch characters (good ones though) just tossed into the world and do their stuff. characters in rdr are some of the best in video games.

ChronoJoe5039d ago

Ya what with GTAIV running better on PS3, Red Dead running worse.

But that's only a very, very, very small part about what either game is about... they are essentially the same, and suck, or succeed in tandem.

But yep, they have kinda sucked this gen, the rockstar game I've enjoyed most was actually midnight club - la, probably because that game doesn't have a crappy driving handling model, and doesn't take it seriously.

amogrr5039d ago

The ballad of Gay Tony was one of the best games I played this year.

karl5039d ago

did suck pretty much this gen... well maybe GTAIV alone
i really liked dead read redemption

Please no. Does that mean that Fable 3 will be boring too? R* games are insanely boring and overrated imo.

Naughty Dog5039d ago

no wonder the graphics look like a PS2 game.

krishnabloodsoul55039d ago

people actually think r* sucks...the world is bigger than i thought.....:p

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90305d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson305d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper305d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam305d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist305d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius304d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Fable: The Greatest Game Concept That Never Was

The Fable series is one of our favorite gaming franchises. Heres what we want from the rumoured sequel

ColdSin1382d ago (Edited 1382d ago )

Microsoft announced Fable Legends at Gamescom 2013, not E3 2013. I'd like for the new Fable to have the same artstyle as Fable Legends.

Zoned1382d ago

Thanks for that. I agree, definitely like the art style, but that's it. Nobody wanted Fable Legends!

moongrim1382d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1382d ago

I would honestly buy the Xbox series S just for Fable 2 remastered or a remake.

moongrim1382d ago

I've never played it so I'm like dying over here.

Zoned1382d ago

Fable II was probably the best of the series. It had its flaws but overall was definitely a step in the right direction. Fable III was a huge misstep in comparison

RaidenBlack1381d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

Yeah ... its an odd situation ain't it?
MS released Fable 1, Fable 3 and Fable 1 Remastred for PC.
Skipping the best one in the franchise.
Same goes for Gears: GoW, GoW Remastered, Gears 4 and Gears 5 are on PC.
And Halo: The entire Halo MCC and Halo Infinite will be on PC. But no Halo 5.

Zoned1381d ago

Definitely agree but you lost me with Halo 5. That was my least favourite Halo game (out of the Halo numbered titles)

RaidenBlack1381d ago

Yea, same here. Only liked the visuals of Halo 5 (that too on an One X, it doesn't look that good on the One S)

But what I meant was, MS is releasing every Halo game on PC from 1 to Infinite, except 5. Which is a bit odd.
Coz the free Halo 5-Forge was quite popular in PC community during its release.

porkChop1381d ago

I never got to play it because I sold my 360. It should have been remastered.

The only thing I can think of is if after the release of Fable Anniversary they decided to take the series in a different direction. They might not want the new game to be associated with the older ones.

sushimama1382d ago

Well lets hope Microsoft are going to announce a new Fable. The MS fans deserve a great Fable game. If it is announced and the gameplay looks cool, this might convince me to get, at least a Series S. It would be my very first Xbox console.

Zoned1382d ago

I would definitely buy an Xbox Series X if a 'proper' Fable sequel were to be revealed!

RgR1381d ago

You mean Fable fans.
Don't have to be an MS fan to want Fable but you definitely need to be a Fable fan to want a new Fable game.

RgR1381d ago

Kicking chickens! That was fun....hope modern society doesn't ruin it for a next installment.

chiefJohn1171381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

Hell no Fable legends is NOT what we wanted.
Fable 2 is what we want outta Fable. Remake Fable 2 please.

This has to be one of the lamest lists I have seen for wishing for sequels.

Perfect Dark should be on the top of this list and it's amazing that MS hasn't even attempted to try and bring this amazing franchise back.

Charlie Murder, MS should pay and get Ska Studios to make a sequel to this excellent beat 'em up game. IMO, they should have been the ones to make Battletoads

Lost Odyssey, another no brainer and should be right up there with the whole Gears/Halo/Forza chant. And while we are talking about JRPGS...

Magna Carta, I loved the art style for this game. MS should definitely try and get a sequel to this for their new syste,

Bomberman Live, really one of the best in the series and I loved how it was simple and just focused on MP. Being able to customize your Bomberman was fun and I would love to see this make a return to Live.

Platformgamer1651d ago (Edited 1651d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

EDIT: a trolling once in a while is ok, unlike most of the N4G users tho.
