Fable 3 will be one of the most uniqe RPG's ever

GB writes : "The third entry in the franchise picks up about 50 years after the events of Fable 2, Albion needs a leader, and many want the crown. In Fable 3, you will spend about half of the game trying to take the thrown and become king of Albion, by trying to assemble a revolution against the Tryant King. In order to do this, players will need to make alliances and earn support from others in order to complete this quest, and every action you take, whether it's gathering support or uniting factions, effects your quest and once again players choose what they want to do just like in the last two games."

1.5 - Open Letter to Gamingbolt.com
Dear Gamingbolt.com,

Here are some tips on building credibility, and improving your game journalism.

1. Ensure headline MATCHES story - this article didn't do this. You made an assertion, but failed to explain why Fable 3 (F3) will be "one of the most unique RPG's ever".

Bad headlines give people a ripped-off feeling, like meeting a girl with username "SexyChick" and finding out that she's male.

2. Ensure THERE IS EVEN a story - even if whatever Molyneux said was true (lol), it is hard to reconcile "most unique EVAR" with a few new unconfirmed gameplay elements.

3. CITE your sources - Molyneux may have said those things, but try quoting him verbatim, or linking to the original transcript. Things can get lost in translation.

I know it's tough trying to make your site standout amongst the whole slew of gaming sites, but reputation's a whimsical thing.

Build a bad rep with empty stories that don't deliver, and you'll find that readers will not place much stock in what you write.

1.6 - above = tl;tr
While Fable games usually turn out to be fun, a lot of Molyneux's promises never come true and this leaves us, the gamers, and him, the developer feeling a little dissapointed.
Fable and Fable II were both great games but I hope to see something revolutionary in Fable III since the core aspect of the game will be very different from past Fable games.

I really like Fable 2. The story and the graphics were really awesome. But they really did over hyped the dog thing, other than that the game was an out and out classic.

Yeah. The idea of Project Natal would be really awesome. I just cant forget the Milo demo at E3 2009. I believe if implemented in the right way, this could be one of the biggest and major games of 2010. I hope it wont be scripted though!

Besides in Japan what RPGs on the Ps3 sell well?

Fable2
Fallout3
Oblivion
Mass Effect

combined sales on 360 total are 5X larger than the combined total of RPGs sold on the Ps3 worldwide and I'm being nice with that statistic.

And as for the "shooter box 360" comment what are the top selling games on the Ps3?

GTA
CoD
KZ2
UC2

what games don't involve guns?

Nice try tho.

I have been so much disappointed by Fable 2 that not a single inch of hype will rise in my mind. I'll still look forward it, but won't trust hype and reviews anymore. Especially if Fable 3 is totally Natal-oriented.

Well third time's a charm, right?

Cause F1&2 were both just god awful. NATAL may be the best thing about the game. But if Peter says it, it's 99% bullsh1t.

Quietly looking forward to Fable3 as I am yet to play the second game.

The strategic elements sound promising.

And the if they can get it working well with Natal it could be a very unique experience.

I just hope they keep the exploration and combat on the controller, The strategy and judgement aspects I could see working well with Natal.

Unique does not equal Good.

Fable 1 was great but flawed. Fable 2 was more of the same, but with bigger flaws and more bugs.

Lets see what Molyneaux pulls out of the bag for this one - however, having seen Milo, I'm not confident.

Damn Molyneaux's work has gone downhill since he left Bullfrog - I hope his new role in MS means he is less involved with Fable 3, as then it might have a chance of reaching the potential the series obviously shows.

I think you have summed up the Fable series quite well.

The first for me personally was a bit of a mixed bag but was definitely better when The Lost Chapters was released.

As I have said above I have yet to play Fable2 but I will get the GOTY edition witch I hope will be better that the original release.

Fable has a art style and sense of humor that I think are unique, and I think the series deserves to be a success.

@K1W1

If you liked Fable 1, I think you'll have a blast playing Fable 2.

I may be critical of the Fable games, but only because I think they have so much potential to be even better.

18.2 - "how can another game beat it at that?"
Easy, by being out sooner and on another console.

Seriously, the game's not out, so how can you say such a claim is confirmed?

Pity they couldn't just say "Most Unique RPG ever on the 360."

Had to go for the same "Definitive" BS Turn 10 went for. Notice Forza 3's out and no one really talking about it.

maybe if you play it, you would understand how its one of the most amazing and Unforgiving RPG ever created.

I don't fall for hype that some people tend to fall into. Especially when it comes to Peter M craptaculous Hype.

just the other day a friend of mine whos an UBER 360 fanboy came to my House and saw Demon's Souls on the table. He plays it, next thing you know, in under an Hour, buys a PS3 for this game.

Then i asked him, why, if you have fable? he said and i Quote "F**K FABLE, its whack, its not as good as this game. its the RPG I waited for a long time." ok if you say so man....

Maybe instead of arguing games, we should argue English...do you know what unique means? Unique implies something different, original or special.
Are you telling me that no game can be unique because Demon Souls is already unique and has now taken that crown of being unique forever and ever?
Dude find your English teacher, and sue him/her, you are a victim of poor education if you do not understand that two things can both be unique

Maybe you should look at how unique is applied in this particular context before making another comment. "Most unique RPG ever" could mean the most exemplary, *the* most unique of the RPG genera. As if its trying to be said that in years to come Fable 3 will be used as example of what an RPG is.

That any footage, still or video, has yet to be seen makes such a claim empty and open to criticism. That the same, the exact same, was said of Fable 1 and 2 makes it all but laughable.

yea i know,its called Demon's Souls.

You know what Hype means? its called Fable. just like Milo.

"Dude find your English teacher, and sue him/her, you are a victim of poor education if you do not understand that two things can both be unique"

Dont worry about that. As An Engineer and a Pope, my Education went to another level that you cant reach. Heres Something you should do, get off Peter Peter Moneleaux's Testicles if you dont want to be disappointed my friend.

18.7 - @Godmars and Pope( if he can read and understand)
Most unique? Are you purposely leaving out the ONE to try make your point? If you are going to debate with me, at least do it without twisting words. The article said ONE of the most unique, not the most unique. So your lame arguement about the context doesnt count for Jack.
Tell me this, how many RPG's currently feature a control interface that Natal promises? Whats that? None? Would you say that kinda interface is UNIQUE to Fable 3? Yes? So already you have an RPG that potentially has voice commands, free hand gesturing, voice and face recognition...what other RPG features all of that?
That alone ensures that Fable 3 experience will be very UNIQUE. But wait, according to our resident engineer/pope who skipped his English classes, Demon Souls is already out and already unique so no other RPG is allowed to be unique.
Is the article mostly speculation? Of course it is, has it been said before? Too many times. Does being unique in this context mean something else that only you two guys understand? Lol I dunno. Does Demon Souls being out and unique mean no other game can claim to be unique as well? According to pope's questionable logic, it does. . .but then again, he's an engineer and a pope so his level of education is not only advanced, it's devine and holy...out
