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

[ColdSin]

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.

[Zoned]

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

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

[RaveTears]

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

[moongrim]

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

[Zoned]

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

[RaidenBlack]

I was disgusted with Fable III

[RaidenBlack]

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.

[Zoned]

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

[RaidenBlack]

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.

[porkChop]

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.

[sushimama]

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.

[Zoned]

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

[RgR]

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.

[RaidenBlack]

MORE CHICKEN CHASING !!!

[RgR]

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

[chiefJohn117]

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

[Father__Merrin]

Fable 2 was absolutely stunning as an RPG the characters and the music was so whimsical amazing stuff. I really hope for a new fable. I'm planning on getting the Lockhart for the Xbox games that I'm looking forward to

[leemo19]

Fable/Fable 2 were fantastic fantasy rpg but after Fable 3 seeing where they were going I lost complete interest in it. Would love another Fable game but only if it takes notes from what made the first two great.

[Zoned]

It always felt to me like they needed to focus on what made the first two games great and just expand on them for the 3rd title, but instead they added more half-baked features and elements.

[Rachel_Alucard]

I don't trust them after Fable: Legends and the rest of their titles being services over actual games. I was in a few of the closed betas for Legends. It's like no matter what they changed, they just refused to ever let players progress at a good rate. Instead they kept trying to coax people into buying premium currency, instead of making the game less predatory. Then they wonder why it was cancelled.

[Zoned]

I really hope the next generation has a lot less predatory practices and games that are designed to milk the most money out of its players. It's annoying because the way games have been monetised has made the gaming industry the largest grossing media format, but to pay £50 (or $60 in the U.S) for a game to then have to pay for microtransactions or the 'rest of the game' is a joke.

[L7CHAPEL]

new Fable and the new splinter cell are the games I'm pretty much clamouring the most for.
I agree with the art style.
I think they will modernize it a bit, I kind of hope they do and make it look less "cartoony" I'd really like the world to look vibrant, very deep and very clear,
but I don't think they should step too far away from the basic artistic interpretation,
of how the game has always looked.
{that's really a huge part of its charm}
I've got both sets of fingers and both sets of toes crossed for fable, I really really want a new one.
please please let it be true 🤞 🙏

[Miacosa]

I recall playing the Fable Legends beta and wasn't much fun with basic game design that relied on asymmetric gameplay as a hook. If there is a new Fable game coming hopefully it goes back to its roots but less childish.

[TheHan]

I just hope Fable gets the treatment it deserves, ether a new installment/ Remaster or a prequel. Ether way I’m looking forward to any news regarding Fable.
