This would be great, as I can no longer rent from any place where I am

Spenok5038d ago

Well, looking at how games are starting to be available via PS+ i'd say its a possibility.

deepmovievoice5038d ago

yeah, i only have 1 place to rent from, and they never have anything. it really dissuades me from playing more games as I do not want to waste money on a bad one

StbI9905038d ago (Edited 5038d ago )

That is one plus for the why digital content will become the future some time around next gen(ps4, xbox 720) or the gen after then next gen(ps5, xbox 1440)... it is just so obvious.

AliTheBrit195038d ago

In the USA you guys have Netflix and Gamefly? is it

in the UK we have LoveFilm which is owned by Amazon.co.uk, its basically both, you can rent DVDs, Blu-Ray and Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS etc. games

Great site, what I use for renting, fair prices, can keep the rents as long as you want and they get posted straight to your door, what more could you want?

Sarevok5038d ago

I want that... D:
Too bad I live in the USA where they always rip ya off.

PoSTedUP5038d ago

USA has blockbuster also, you can have movies and games either delivered by mail or you can go and pick them up at any blockbuster for like 20-$25 a month you can go and exchange as many games and movies as you want in a day. (like i can pick up gears2, play it for 20 mins then return it for something else as many times as i want.

Sarevok5038d ago (Edited 5038d ago )

eh.... all blockbusters shut down where I live.
only a matter of time till they're all gone.

The real killer5038d ago (Edited 5038d ago )

I hope not, i want physical contact with the case when i buy this game.

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.

Crows90317d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson317d ago

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

GaboonViper317d ago

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

got_dam317d 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.

cthulhucultist317d 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.

Demetrius316d 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

ColdSin1394d ago (Edited 1394d 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.

Zoned1394d ago

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

moongrim1394d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1394d ago

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

moongrim1394d ago

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

Zoned1394d 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

RaidenBlack1393d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1393d ago (Edited 1393d 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.

Zoned1393d ago

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

RaidenBlack1393d 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.

porkChop1393d 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.

sushimama1394d 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.

Zoned1394d ago

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

RgR1393d 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.

RgR1393d ago

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

chiefJohn1171393d ago (Edited 1393d ago )

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