As revelations about the various features of Fable III continue to emerge, G4TV recently had the chance to sit down with the godhead of Lionhead himself, Peter Molyneux, to talk about the eagerly anticipated follow-up. It’s clear that Molyneux isn’t willing to simply churn out another by-the-books sequel and when asked about the notable additions to this third journey across the kingdom of Albion, Molyneux’s excitement for the series remains still palpable.
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.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
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.
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.
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
The Fable series is one of our favorite gaming franchises. Heres what we want from the rumoured sequel
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.
Thanks for that. I agree, definitely like the art style, but that's it. Nobody wanted Fable Legends!
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
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.
Definitely agree but you lost me with Halo 5. That was my least favourite Halo game (out of the Halo numbered titles)
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.
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.
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.
Kicking chickens! That was fun....hope modern society doesn't ruin it for a next installment.
Hell no Fable legends is NOT what we wanted.
Fable 2 is what we want outta Fable. Remake Fable 2 please.

This has to be one of the lamest lists I have seen for wishing for sequels.
Perfect Dark should be on the top of this list and it's amazing that MS hasn't even attempted to try and bring this amazing franchise back.
Charlie Murder, MS should pay and get Ska Studios to make a sequel to this excellent beat 'em up game. IMO, they should have been the ones to make Battletoads
Lost Odyssey, another no brainer and should be right up there with the whole Gears/Halo/Forza chant. And while we are talking about JRPGS...
Magna Carta, I loved the art style for this game. MS should definitely try and get a sequel to this for their new syste,
Bomberman Live, really one of the best in the series and I loved how it was simple and just focused on MP. Being able to customize your Bomberman was fun and I would love to see this make a return to Live.
sunset overdrive 2... oh wait
EDIT: a trolling once in a while is ok, unlike most of the N4G users tho.
then a put it in your game guy
but still what does end up in em usually turns out pretty cool the first fable tho miles short of what he said it woulda coulda been was epic fun. Seeing the rest of em gimped to the 360 hurt but still lots of peeps had tons of fun w fable 2 n porb will with 3. So ya gotta cut him a bit of slack sure hes a bit of a wind bag but one that delivers fun n unique games.
It's funny that everyone hates on fable because they heard Molyneux say it would have this and that and then it didn't.
Sure, fable 1 wasn't the game he originally said it would be...but it was a GREAT game nonetheless.
Fable 2 also fell short of the promises, but it was a lot of fun and overall an enjoyable experience. (my only real problem being that it held your hand throughout)
Fable 3 looks to also be a fun and interesting game.
This interview shed some light on things. I'm totally interested.
At the end when they talk about the dog and it's abilities, It's a shame Pete didn't consider using your magic in conjunction with the dog. like a rage spell that you can cast on him to make him a powerful and helpful tool in fights.
maybe in fable 4? LOL
he talks and everyones read it all before
Dont really say much it was more the old Community manager that spoke alot bs into GT5 and PD... He moved from 343 btw... LionHead other hand PM talks to much yes but now its much better than when Fable 2 launched.
