"Key contributors on an unannounced title" needed. [OXM]
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
Fable 4 running on Unreal Engine 4 screams amazing!
Well, if it does turn out to be a new Fable, I hope they bring it back to its roots. The first one, although promising more than delivering, still feels like the best Fable game in my opinion. I'm not even sure why, perhaps it's the quest/guild structure, the lack of a modern industry, a better developed level up system, greater variety in powers...
Whatever it was, it is still more of joy for me to go back and play than to put Fable 3 in the disc tray.
"The recent appointment of former Cryptic Studios CEO John Needham as studio boss suggests that the new game may be a free-to-play MMO."
I like the idea of a Fable MMO as an always-on line, breathing and living world where events can occur in real time while you are away from your xbox. I think this has the potential of what the original Fable on Xbox was aiming for and more. Can't wait for an announcement, possibly in a week.
I hope it goes back to it's roots and is much bigger when it comes to exploring.
I hope they do it so you can build your house anywhere you want and then be allowed to create it in any shape or form you can....maybe expand it into a small village.
They need to bring proper magic back though...none of that magic gauntlet crap. They need to have more magic aswell, it seemed like they kept taking magic out of the game rather then expanding onto it
Fable 1 was the best one in my opinion
