wow... wish you could get a bigger picture, but even from the small pic you can really see the difference... apperently using URE3.5 for lighting

nveenio3983d ago

I picked up Fable: TLC on Steam over the holidays for like $2.50. A bit of a bummer, but no biggie. I like the game, even if it's a bit dated. It was one of the best when it was released.

BillytheBarbarian3983d ago

The loading times between each small area killed fable for me. I may try this if it's faster.

Gildarts3983d ago

It is faster.

Seems like they have changed the color palette slightly for at least the bandit region. Not sure if that is indicative of more solid/deep greens and less yellow tints throughout the game or not.

Anyway, the increased detail is nice and I will definitely pick it up assuming the gameplay remains the same as the original. I'm looking forward to listening to that great soundtrack while walking along those woodland paths.

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

ColdSin1390d ago (Edited 1390d 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.

Zoned1389d ago

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

moongrim1390d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1389d ago

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

moongrim1389d ago

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

Zoned1389d 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

RaidenBlack1389d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1389d ago (Edited 1389d 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.

Zoned1389d ago

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

RaidenBlack1388d 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.

porkChop1389d 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.

sushimama1390d 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.

Zoned1389d ago

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

RgR1389d 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.

RgR1389d ago

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

chiefJohn1171389d ago (Edited 1389d ago )

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

I'm Obsessed with Enhanced Xbox 360 Games on Xbox One X

"There have been some stellar Xbox 360 enhanced games on Xbox One X. If I’m being completely honest, I’ve become a bit obsessed with trying out each new enhanced title. I’ve also noticed Microsoft put a lot of focus on its exclusive 360 games from last gen (The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Fable Anniversary, Forza, etc.). -- Xbox Enthusiast

Then you'd probably love pc . . . .

Heelix2234d ago

gamers lie to themselves in order to protect their preferred company.

What gamer in his/her right mind would not appreciate migrating their library to the latest hardware?

Hungryalpaca2234d ago

Yep. BC back to the 90s and beyond

TheGuitarist2234d ago

I wish they’d spend more time enhancing games from this generation than from the last

TheCommentator2234d ago (Edited 2234d ago )

The Witcher 2 or the first Fable are great choices for many people. I like Forza Horizon as well, but it's more of a niche title being a racing game. I know what you're saying about focusing on this gen but I can't help but think that going back to 360 games that are classics makes sense as well and, honestly, they look surprisingly good too. It's almost like you're playing the PC versions (EDIT: Traumadisaster seems to agree with this too).

What games do you want them to work on for the XBOX One that makes you feel this way?

Kribwalker2234d ago

i personally have 56 enhanced games on my xbox onex 5 of which are 360 enhanced games and they really do look awesome. FH looks great enhanced.

traumadisaster2234d ago

For exclusives like crackdown then I get that, but fable and the witcher2 I've had in 4k60fps for years with an expensive gfx card. However for those without pc I get it

Cobra9512234d ago

I wish he'd shown some video of the games.

Skankinruby2234d ago

So is every other X owner as that's all they talk about

Xbox Priding Itself on Future and Past Exclusives

"The four most recent Xbox One X enhanced games were all Xbox 360 console exclusives. Coincidence? I think not! Let’s talk about that as well as Xbox’s recent announcement of its monthly show, Inside Xbox." -- Xbox Enthusiast

Future exclusives? Thats where they need to work on most.

TyrellCorp2245d ago

Believe it when I see it. A new Fable would be great

darthv722245d ago (Edited 2245d ago )

If rumors are true... Playground's got you covered there.

xfiles20992245d ago

They have no Exclusives everything comes to PC Nothing is truly theirs

darthv722244d ago

You make that sound like a bad thing. If someone prefers a PC they got it covered. If someone prefers a console they got it covered. What's not to like?

xfiles20992244d ago

Its not a Bad thing for the Fans of PC but it is for the Console The reason everything comes to PC is The Fans don't buy the games With everything going to PC the Xbox has no Identity. MS has forgot about who their fans are and what they want. They almost given up on their core What made Xbox successful in the past.

AAWELLS092239d ago

Wow your comments here make it seem as though you're full of crap. There's only ONE reason you would complain about this and make it seem as though this is a negative and thats the fact that you enjoy/promote the "console wars". Your 2nd comment to darthv72 is completely false and again full of crap. It doesn't matter what you reply with as there's no possible way to convince anyone otherwise. It's NEVER a bad thing to make more games available to more people except when you enjoy/promote the console wars like the fanboys do.

xfiles20992238d ago

Its not a Bad thing unless you are in the business of selling Consoles. It is not a good business move. It makes no sense to make your Console as irrelevant as possible by putting everything on PC. These are not Fanboy comments they are very truthful comments Sorry if it hurts anyone to hear the truth. There is a reason Microsoft does not reveal sale numbers.

yellowgerbil2246d ago

lol they are still touting the best games lineup using the same games they did years ago (how many years do we need to see crackdown, ashen, and state of decay 2?). And think of all the great xbox1 exclusives these past 4 years... Fable... Scalebound... Project Spark... Hololenz... Phantom Dust... those 3 games coming from the black tusk people... Man so many legendary games, no wonder everyone loves xbox 1

Tko11112245d ago

IF you hate games because you have seen them for to many years then you hate almost every ps4 exclusive.. and missing out on great games

DigitalRaptor2246d ago (Edited 2246d ago )

Good luck on the future exclusives.

Microtransaction-ridden services is what it mostly boils down to. They're doing a fantastic job with the legacy support for exclusives (and games in general) of the past though. I can see why they want to draw attention to the exclusives of past though. The glory days are much more ideal to promote than what happens to be their worst generation ever.

UCForce2246d ago

Like I said, MS push too far with Gaas. And I think it’s a problem.
