Fable 4: Are They Making a Mistake?

It was a game that few could hate in the beginning. But with each passing installment, more magic was lost. Now, over a decade has passed without a new title and it begs the question: Are they making a big mistake with Fable 4?

its a reboot right? Fourth installment yes but new vision.

I feel like OP is trying to make a statement for the sake of it.

potatoseal1348d ago

Agreed. How could making a reboot of a beloved IP be a mistake? Especially when he hasn't even seen any of the game yet. Fans are excited for this and so they should be.

jznrpg1348d ago

Because the games weren’t all good . 1 was ok but lacked a lot of what was promised . 2 was the best by far .3 was a borefest .

VenomUK1348d ago

The writer really loved Fable but isn't sure if he wants another one in case it doesn't turn out good. I get it, but don't stress and let Playground Games get on with it. Better to find out if a new version is good then to have no new version and cling on to a memory.

Whilst Fable III certainly had it's issues, and I don't think the property management aspect was the right fit for the RPG series (by the end of my game I owned everything that you could buy) the series does have a special charm which I'm very hopeful that Playground games will be able to capture the essence of. I hope this can be out for Christmas 2021.

FinalFantasyFanatic1347d ago

It could be a mistake if they screw it up? Anyway, the first Fable was a pretty ambitious game back in the day, imagine all the stuff they could do with today's technology, might be a good time to push the envelope again.

TheScotsman1348d ago

I'm sure we'll find out in a couple of years if it's a mistake cause we know this game is nothing more than a concept. And it was thrown together so they had something. To show

Zeref1347d ago

Huh? They didn't show anything yet, or did I miss something?

Jiub1348d ago

I heard all kinds of rumors about this game. Still, I can't say I don't want them to give it another shot. Were the games the best? Maybe not, but I still had a ton of fun with them.

Sirk7x1347d ago

Also, alot of what was promised wasn't delivered at the time originally (nor do I think it was technically possible at the time to do so), but Fable was still a pretty stunning game at the time it came out. Definitely wouldn't have been possible outside of PC/Xbox at the time to run on.

PersonX1348d ago

We have barely seen anything, and already they are complaining.

NeoGamer2321348d ago

Really there has been nothing shown yet. What I saw in the trailer was a beautiful, detailed environment with some good poetic comedy.

Nothing on story, nothing on gameplay, and nothing on the scope of the new Fable world. I don't know how you can judge anything about the game, that was about as little as they could tell without telling absolutely nothing about the game.

TheColbertinator1348d ago

Buying it so long as they don't do Kinect or horrid launch like Fallout 76

Si-Fly1348d ago

Why on earth would you think it would support Kinect?

TheColbertinator1348d ago

Why on earth did they think Kinect was a good option for Fable in the first place?

Skate-AK1348d ago (Edited 1348d ago )

Think he was referencing that Fable Kinect game. The Journey, or whatever it was called.

chiefJohn1171348d ago

They did that for support, kinetic haters #1 complaint was lack of support so MS forced it and only turn ppl off who didn't care about motion gaming

TheColbertinator1347d ago

They shouldn't have used Fable then and released Project Milo like Microsoft apparently promoted

NeoGamer2321348d ago

Why are you likening Fallout 76 to MS and Playground Games? Fallout 76 was done by a completely unowned (at the time) by Microsoft studio and publisher. Attaching MS to game they did not make or guide is just wrong. That is like saying, "I will buy the next God of War as long as they don't do Playstation Move and a horrid launch like Umbrella Corps." Pure insanity.

And I can't remember the last time MS peddled Kinect. For the last 5 years they have seemly done their best to bury it.

TheColbertinator1347d ago

Because Fallout 76, Anthem and No Man's Sky represent the worst aspects of gaming development. Release a dumpster fire now and MAYBE we will probably have a competent game in 2 years.

Bnet3431348d ago

Lol no they aren't. The series has been kinda dead. A reboot is much needed.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 7h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 7h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 6h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 6h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

GaboonViper1d 6h ago

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing11h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken20h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper19h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 10h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 10h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 6h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 8h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 8h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 7h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
