Visuals are great. Great story is better.

The person working on the lighting probably doesn't really care about that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I couldn't agree more, although I suppose the lighting director probably cares more about the lighting.

I want to see the in game lore reason why Richard Ayoade is there.

He's there to tell them to turn it off and on again.

Well, it will be one of the best compliments if the game actually looks like that.

If this is a classic tale of trailer footage looking better than the finished game, that dev is going to have egg on his face.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oh hell ya, big time! I've got some high hopes, but the level of graphics on display does seem beyond this Gen for gameplay, somehow.

In a series that is infamous for over promising (nudge nudge peter molyneux)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yup. It wouldn't surprise me if the product that ships after that trailer is just a choose your own adventure popup book.

I'm only interested in it if I can plant an oak seed and see the tree grow.

I just hope it keeps the morality system of the original games and the freedom you had (like you could just go and rob and murder people etc.) that really made the original Fable stand out over other RPGs at the time as few franchises gave you such freedom (The Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex etc.)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I hope they take the original system and flesh it out. Good and bad have only so much to them, and it's a bit stale. I want the rest of my choices to matter too. If I gorge myself on stolen sweets, I wanna get fatter and start wheezing while running around. If I choose not to go into water or spend nights at a home or Inn, I want people to comment on my character's smell and I want to see my character get filthier.

Hahaha, GTA San Andreas had that right? You could get super fat and then you had to go to the gym, you could even have a heart attack if you did nothing, that was pretty hilarious.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has the stuff where if your clothes are dirty or ragged people will comment on it and treat you differently, and that's like an AA studio, so hopefully they can manage it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Bro what?! lol. I played tf outta San Andreas, had no idea that you could actually get so unfit that you could have a heart attack 😂.

I really do think top studio devs can pull off a dynamic and robust set of systems to "evolve" the main character if they want to and are given a big enough budget. Fingers crossed!

You know what tickles me the most about this? It's very possible that we might FINALLY get the game Peter Molyneux promised us way back in the day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just want it to be fun, silly, and a bit camp.

Everything takes itself to seriously these days and Fable never did.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah that's exactly what I want out of a new Fable game: silly campy fun. That's more important to me than graphics.

I get the urge to play 2 and 3 sometimes but there's no way to play them. The first game has so many ways to play it but no love for the others sadly

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Both 2 & 3 are on Xbox Game Pass, 3 even has FPS Boost!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh dang I had no idea, it would have to be the PC version though since I don't have a current-gen Xbox anymore

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't know if you have Game Pass Ultimate but you can use a controller and cloud stream the game. Not trying to sound like an advertisement just wanted to let you know it's an option if you don't have access to Series S/X. Last time I tested their cloud service, it wasn't too bad.

We will see

What game engine are they using? It's not Unreal Engine?
