Fable III the game Fable could have been

Easy to say but Fable III is a true sequel as opposed to Fable 2.5 according to Lionhead.

Fable 1 was awesome
Fable 2 was decent but the ending was a massive let down
Fable 3 looks promising and does have the potential to be the best in the series but I'm not sure it will top #1

FrankDrebin5481d ago

You played it? You have a review copy of Fable III?

Maybe you have a crystal ball that tells you how good Fable III is. I love articles that predict the future.

Especially when you know that this little known site wasn't at the E3, how did they get to experience the next level of Fable.

Oh yeah, they didn't. Just about terrible article.

ShadesMoolah5481d ago

They spoke with Lionhead AT E3. It was Lionhead themselves who made the comments, not the site in question making sh*t up.

Wizziokid5481d ago

can you read? I never said it was good I said, and I quote 'LOOKS promising' looks being the key word there...

ilikecookies5481d ago

I don't think Franks comment was directed towards you and more at the site. That being cleared, @ 1.1 "Stay tuned for our full E3 video interview with Lionhead." That was quoted from the website. Do you even read these things?

GrieverSoul5481d ago

Only one reason Fable will suck is that Molyneux talks to much S***!
I mean, the game may be good be he always exagerate on the game itself, only to lead in disappointmente.

Fable I was good and I really enjoyed it but in the end I thought to myself: "Hey, you cant really do all those things Molyneux told you you would!, WTF!?"

Anon19745481d ago

I've been a huge fan of both Fable games. I agree the ending of 2 was a bit of a "wtf" moment, but the game up until that point made the trip worthwhile. The only complaint I had about Fable 2 was I felt the co-op was a mess and just tacked on. I would have liked to have played this game split screen with my wife, but the camera ended up frustrating the both of us.

I'm not finding very much information regarding Fable 3. I was hoping E3 would reveal more than just another trailer. This article consists of only 4 sentences. They should have just waited until they had their whole interview with Lionhead available.

3rd Time lucky I guess?

Maybe they can finally deliver on what Molyneux said would be in Fable 1...

Baka-akaB5481d ago (Edited 5481d ago )

never liked the series , despite trying to on pc and console , for various reasons , but fables 3 looks like the first one i see worth completing and shaping up to fulfill its promises

lelo2play5481d ago

Love the Fable franchise. One of my most expected titles this year.

NumeroUno5481d ago

Lionhead, and especially Molyneux, have a tendency to hype and blow things out of proportion. Although I do agree with the title - I'm still waiting for that "promised" Fable.

TheGameFoxJTV5481d ago

True they never deliver on the promises, but you have to admit the games still turn out pretty fun.

Fable 5 will be what Fable 3 could have been.

ShadesMoolah5481d ago

I think the reason for this remark is because pre Fable Molyneux talked a lot of cheese which simply wasn't doable at the time. But now we're in year 5 of Xbox 360 and the ideas he had back then are only now being implemented.

NewsForSnowflakes5481d ago

I can just never trust anything that comes out of his mouth. He's worse than a politician. He promises you great things but never delivers.

"You can plant an acorn and watch it grow"

"Carve your initials in a tree and they will still be there if you come back to the tree 10 years later"

He could probably now make these things happen with the technology now available but I don't think you need to lie to sell your games

Kalowest5481d ago

Molyneux is very smart and very creative, he just overhypes his games. I think 2yrs is really not enough time for Molyneux to make a Fable title, with all the features he want in it.

DA_SHREDDER5481d ago

I think Fable 1 is a classic. Fable 2 was garbage and I really dont like the new direction that Peter has taken the series. The magic system to me is broken, all the marriage and relationship stuff is a real turn off for me. It was always about the action and adventure, but it seems to me that Peter is trying to turn this game into the sims more than anything. Im not holding my breath for the next title.

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.

Crows90732d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson732d ago

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

GaboonViper732d ago

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

got_dam731d 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.

cthulhucultist731d 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.

Demetrius731d 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

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

ColdSin1809d ago (Edited 1809d 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.

Zoned1808d ago

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

moongrim1809d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1809d ago

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

moongrim1808d ago

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

Zoned1808d 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

RaidenBlack1808d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1808d ago (Edited 1808d 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.

Zoned1808d ago

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

RaidenBlack1807d 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.

porkChop1808d 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.

sushimama1809d 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.

Zoned1808d ago

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

RgR1808d 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.

RgR1808d ago

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

chiefJohn1171808d ago (Edited 1808d ago )

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

This has to be one of the lamest lists I have seen for wishing for sequels.

Perfect Dark should be on the top of this list and it's amazing that MS hasn't even attempted to try and bring this amazing franchise back.

Charlie Murder, MS should pay and get Ska Studios to make a sequel to this excellent beat 'em up game. IMO, they should have been the ones to make Battletoads

Lost Odyssey, another no brainer and should be right up there with the whole Gears/Halo/Forza chant. And while we are talking about JRPGS...

Magna Carta, I loved the art style for this game. MS should definitely try and get a sequel to this for their new syste,

Bomberman Live, really one of the best in the series and I loved how it was simple and just focused on MP. Being able to customize your Bomberman was fun and I would love to see this make a return to Live.

Platformgamer2077d ago (Edited 2077d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

EDIT: a trolling once in a while is ok, unlike most of the N4G users tho.
