Anything but Cute5914d ago (Edited 5914d ago )

A little cartoonish. I mean look at the characters.

Anything but Cute5914d ago

The game looks like crap. Lets hope it's the gameplay that's good.

TheSadTruth5914d ago

The problem with this game is that it's too ambitious.. the same reason both Black and White and the first fable failed. Peter Molywhatever just has a vision that is too broad to contain in any game, and his products will always be flawed because of this.

actas1235914d ago

So this is kinda of like folklore, right?

Pain5914d ago

Like Folk? Nowhers close.

Rent Fable 1 if u can find it, not great Game but more or less this will be same,looks the same thats for sure thats sure, Plays the same i bet too~

zornik5914d ago

uhmmmm?.....did World Of Warcraft fail with cartoon graphics?

Anything but Cute5914d ago

I didn't say the game was gonna fail.

poos35914d ago

hahahaha people at game trailers are going crazy at the 3 new footage of fable 2 hahaha the grapics look astonishing +co-op play this game is looking like a classic

Tut5914d ago

I cannot wait for this to come out. As much innovation as Moly was lecturing about concerning time and aging as well as his little portals video... I can only imagine what this game will actually have in store for everyone. I will be snatching this game up as soon as I can after it releases. Thank God that I have a great PC so I can enjoy this bad boy on full settings (I assume).

To "Anything but Cute" I can see your point, but that is the artistic style for Fable. If you have never played the original Fable I would highly recommend picking it up for PC or Xbox... whatever you own. Peter Molyneux and his team have quite a talent for innovation and they know how to make a fun game.

In my opinion, some of those screens are stunningly beautiful. They make me all warm and fuzzy inside. =P

RIPHDDVD5914d ago

What the hell? Looks nothing like the tech demos they've been showing. Downgrade?

games4fun5914d ago

agree with you but since the game isnt out yet i'm not going to say anything more they can easily improve on it with the time they have

Ghoul5914d ago

well its a molinoux game

awesome techdemos 1000 features revolutionary ai and gameplay

and in the end its "just" a good/great game but faar from what you where promised back in the days, he does that since hes in the industry.

black and white and fable was the same disapointment so lets wait and see how the game will performe ill definatly play it :P

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer149d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog149d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned149d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c149d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb149d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies149d ago (Edited 149d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal149d ago (Edited 149d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72149d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman149d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows148d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

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.

Crows90313d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson313d ago

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

GaboonViper313d ago

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

got_dam313d 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.

cthulhucultist312d 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.

Demetrius312d 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

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein888d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman888d ago (Edited 888d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub888d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad888d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub888d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein888d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1888d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos888d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor888d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad888d ago (Edited 888d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds888d ago (Edited 888d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad888d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde888d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade888d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
