OXM - Hand on heart: I couldn't be more stoked for the release of Fable: The Journey this October. I went into my hands-on expecting a decent, diverting Kinect experience doused in Fable's trademark charm, and came out babbling of Turner paintings, "twofold victories" and "wistful, haunting intimacy".
Fable 4's development seems to be well underway, and a look at the original trilogy reveals a few elements the upcoming title needs to reprise.
One of the biggest reveals at this year's Xbox Games Showcase was the latest Fable trailer. After a lengthy stint of silence, Playground Games gave us a look at bits of the title, albeit in a trailer that was mostly made up of CGI nonsense headlined by comedian Richard Ayoade, who is playing a rather frustrated giant.
Molyneux asked about what he thought about the Fable reveal.
he actually was in the news every now and then with a (couple) scam games he made
The exact same thought came to mind when I read the headline. It's been so long since we've heard his lies and over ambitions.

Well, he's not associated with it. Giving interviews talking about features never at any point mentioned with devs let alone introduced.
It might have a chance.
Think you mean ethics.
Also, whose defending Molyneux? Wasn't his last game a literal ripoff with him offering a prize but not giving it?
The original Fable games were flawed masterpieces. How can the new Fable game keep the best parts of its prequels while avoiding the same issues?
"What The New Fable Needs To Be Better Than The Original Trilogy"
-pfft who wrote that title?
-Anyway if what they mean is "What the new Fable needs to *do better than the original trilogy", then I'd say stop trying to dictate what the new Fable should and shouldn't do or be. All I ask is that it has the spirit of the original but do their own thing and hopefully its good, thats good enough for me.
They're gonna jack it up, they always do, and really, bringing someone on board to pick up where someone left off, especially when Fable had the reputation it did (because the Xbox 360 during it's time put up a fight against the PS3 and really made PlayStation's job a rough one going), and that's a tall order to fill, it really is. Sure, it'll be pretty but it's not gonna be the same. Australian humor is quite different from British humor, it's cons getting dumped on a desert island by the truckload.
I'm sure it'll be okay, but not award winning
A potion created between some ideas
- the first two Fables
- a high fantasy setting
- an open world like the two new 3D Zeldas
lol screw the fable series. its dead, fable 1 was the only good one. anything else was just more of peters lies.....though if peter doesnt make it then maybe it could actually be good
It might come out something like Kingdoms of Amalor heh heh.
A new focus with the story and gameplay and is much needed. I'm so glad Peter's not doing Fable anymore. All that "Talent" was all just in his left finger.
No disrespect to Peter and his ideas in the past but if Lionhead decide to make Fable 4 more of a gimmick-free game it could potentially be brilliant. Go back to the Fable 1 roots, get rid of the idea of being king and focus on gorgeous locations and towns.
Also, an in depth combat system that uses at least 3 buttons please. The Witcher 2 has raised the bar this gen, I'd like to see Lionhead at least challenge it.
