Why 'Fable Anniversary' is not launching on the Xbox One

With the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on store shelves many find it hard to return to the now last generation of consoles in the Xbox 360 and PS3. However, that isn't stopping some developers from releasing exclusively on the older platforms. Fable Anniversary, which releases on February 4 in North America, is one of those many titles that falls into that category. In our exclusive interview with Lead Designer Tim Timmins, the Lionhead Studios employee shared the reasoning behind this decision.

Because they still need to support last gen for awhile and the 360 lacked exclusives near the end of last gen...

the ps3 has 15+ exclusives on the way this year and xbox will be lucky to get 5

thecowsaysmoo4146d ago (Edited 4146d ago )

This could have been a good reason why to own an xbox one.

@djplonker

It is pointless supporting xbox 360 with exclusives at this point considering if you didn't want a 360 before with all its exclusive you probably wont purchase one at this point.

OC_MurphysLaw4146d ago

No doubt there will be some kind of Fable Triology HD version , etc... for XO in the future but for now this is a great pick up for those that may not have grabbed it originally.

Regis4146d ago

It is on microsoft's list to bring out a bundle of all three games for X1 or X360

TheBrit4146d ago

Urm I turn to my 360 (s) because I do not own an xbox one nor a PS4 and nor will I until there is somthing absolutely next gen and mind blowing out there.

right now the games are just rehashes of other games with some prettier graphics - that's not next gen at all.

Will wait a few months before thinking about turning away from my 360. (prob won't even turn away from it when I do buy an XB1 or PS4)

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

ColdSin1793d ago (Edited 1793d 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.

Zoned1792d ago

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

moongrim1793d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1793d ago

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

moongrim1792d ago

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

Zoned1792d 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

RaidenBlack1792d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1792d ago (Edited 1792d 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.

Zoned1792d ago

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

RaidenBlack1791d 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.

porkChop1792d 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.

sushimama1793d 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.

Zoned1792d ago

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

RgR1792d 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.

RgR1792d ago

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

chiefJohn1171792d ago (Edited 1792d ago )

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