Fable III Peter Molyneux and the deflated ego

After Fable II it became apparent to many in the industry, that Peter Molyneux had a habit of over promising and under delivering. Leading many to question his honesty when it came to the development of his games.

Fable II was an awesome game. Despite it's many flaws.

EVILDEAD3605050d ago

I love the fact that Peter speaks his mind..hes' passionate about his craft and is always reaching for the moon..

When he fails he is the FIRST one to put it out there to gamers..he's harder on himself than anybody in the gaming community

I love it when he says this part of Fable 2 was 'rubbish' etc..

But the fact is 'Fable 2' was an absolute blast. I love RPGs but Fable 2 brought FUN back to the genre.

Can't wait for Fable 3 and hope it lives up to Peter's 'lofty' expectations

The first Fable was pretty cool.

Spenok5050d ago

It was, but it still doesnt excuse the fact that he promised the world for that game and only gave you a summer beach house.

Chaostar5050d ago

I think Milo was created with the sole purpose of distracting Peter Molyneuxs arrogance away from fable 3 lol. He is bigging up milo like it is the most advanced AI in the world and surpasses anything that any of the computer geniuses have been doing for years! /jk

I really want to be excited for Fable 3 but he is so deluded, although his intentions are to bring us a great game, his visions far outstrech his reach. Maybe next gen peter.

Folezicle5050d ago

One thing that is so innovative about the AI in Milo is:

" Milo's mind won't be on the disc -- it's in the cloud, and gets much smarter the more people use it."

If he keeps his promise It's the first stage where AI and technology kill all of man-kind..

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.

Crows90326d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson327d ago

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

GaboonViper326d ago

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

got_dam326d 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.

cthulhucultist326d 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.

Demetrius326d 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

ColdSin1404d ago (Edited 1404d 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.

Zoned1403d ago

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

moongrim1404d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1403d ago

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

moongrim1403d ago

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

Zoned1403d 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

RaidenBlack1403d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1403d ago (Edited 1403d 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.

Zoned1403d ago

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

RaidenBlack1402d 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.

porkChop1403d 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.

sushimama1403d 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.

Zoned1403d ago

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

RgR1403d 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.

RgR1403d ago

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

chiefJohn1171403d ago (Edited 1403d 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.

Platformgamer1672d ago (Edited 1672d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

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