Kotaku - In an interview on Games Industry International posted yesterday, Lionhead studio head John Needham outlined the developer's big-picture plans for Fable: Legends, its upcoming Xbox One exclusive title.
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. "
A 5-10 year time frame for patch and expansion support is a loooong time for a normal online game. This sounds like it could be true! Which would be amazing. Fable has a great feel that would translate well to a MMO world. Fingers crossed.
Shame...well those who like offline single player RPGs will just have to wait for Elder Scrolls 6, Witcher 3, Fallout 4 or even Fable 4 for example
I feel like they are trying to hide the fact that it technically is an MMO is most ways because they know that sort of stuff would put people off.
Will be awesome, love the Fable universe!
The game has always been planned as an MMORPG with cloud support. The worlds will be large with many towns to explore.
I prefer a single player RPG experience offline. Then again, I've never played a MMO game before. I guess there's a first for everything. Still I wouldn't want to play Fallout 4 online. I don't want to share my stimpacks, ammo or caps.
