10 Reasons Why Fable 3 Will Be the Best Yet

Fable III is one of Microsoft's flagship titles, it's got a much loved history and, if you're still cold to the series, it'd only take two minutes of a Peter Molyneux pitch to get you pumped about his latest project.

If you prefer your hype levels to be heightened with strict and structured lists, though, then this is for you.

If they just keep the promises they made for the first two the third would be the best of the three.

despair4979d ago

hell if they kept the promises from just the first one I'd be happy.

TROLL EATER4979d ago

3rd one looks quite impressive and for once molyneux has shutted up lol

Boody-Bandit4979d ago (Edited 4979d ago )

That's because he is too busy being the mouth piece for Kinect.

Hopefully he is spending the amount of time Fable needs to be better than the last two versions. Then again it would be hard for it not to be. Fable 2 was one of the shortest RPG's this generation.

jadenkorri4979d ago

I bought a 360 just for fable 2, story was sub par and the ending was horrible. I'll prob still get fable 3, but my expectations aren't as high anymore. Fable is the only game that gameplay is fun, thou quite repetitive at times, the only thing i found to be awesome in the game was having the dog, it was like the only best part of the game. Fable 1 is still the best thou. Lets hope Fable 3 is as good as 1.

n to the b4978d ago

"the ending was horrible" yes it was. but while the dog was pretty cool I guess, I find the customization & expressions are the best new/expanded features in fable2.

If they would just keep the promises of the first one it would be great. I miss the promises of a truly open world, use of anything as a weapon(salt and pepper shakers of doom), heroes competing, and true exploration and loot (If Morrowind and Oblivion could do it then why can't Fable?)

solar4979d ago

/s

its not on Ps3 thats why it wont be the best of anything.

/end s

BLACKLISTED!!! IT DOESNT DO EVERYTHING!!! RIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAACER!!!! NOT POWERED BY CELL!!! EVEN THOUGH IBM AND SONY DROPPED IT AS A VIABLE CPU!!!!! 4DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Hudahudahuda4979d ago

Requesting permaban on this maggot.

solar4979d ago

speaking truth doesnt get you banned. good try tho :)

qface644979d ago

no they aren't the 1st was actually really good i used to think fable was gay until i actually played the first one its good
the second though meh not so much the 2nd one was terrible i couldn't stand the way you walk in that game its like you were walking on ice

WildArmed4979d ago

Hardly,
1st rocked.
2nd underwhelmed.
3rd will reclaim it's 'rock-iness' i hope :)

I think I better get some better cooling 4 my laptop.
Fable 3 is gonna be running on it 4 24 hours non-stop xD

despair4979d ago

unfortunately we don't know when the PC version will be released, I believe they said the Xbox one will come out on launch date this year but no date for PC version.

being_in_itself4979d ago

Agent, you say this like there's numerous Fables out there - there isn't. There's technically 3 and one is really an expansion (Lost Chapters).

One and two couldn't have been more different. Probably amongst the most divergent original-sequel game series out there. One of the few similarities shared were the face doors, and that'd be about it.

Shoko4979d ago

I dunno.......after every Fable game Peter comes out and says that it's "rubbish." What kinda dev would call their own game rubbish?

Sam Fisher4979d ago

bungie. when halo 1 came out then halo 2, they said halo 1 was supposed to be how halo 2 was, then halo 3 and they said halo 2 was a scratch from what halo 3 was.

if you watch their interviews with i think it was ign. the head dev came out and said that

jetlian4979d ago

this is looking better than 2 which I did like. Fable 2 wasn't as good as 1 though. Hopefully this tops 1 or matches it!!! I think this one is like the best of both previous games. Has the story of 1 and the sim-like quality of 2.

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.

Crows90340d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson340d ago

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

GaboonViper340d ago

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

got_dam340d 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.

cthulhucultist340d 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.

Demetrius339d 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

ColdSin1417d ago (Edited 1417d 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.

Zoned1417d ago

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

moongrim1417d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1417d ago

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

moongrim1417d ago

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

Zoned1417d 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

RaidenBlack1417d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1417d ago (Edited 1417d 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.

Zoned1416d ago

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

RaidenBlack1416d 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.

porkChop1416d 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.

sushimama1417d 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.

Zoned1417d ago

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

RgR1416d 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.

RgR1416d ago

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

chiefJohn1171416d ago (Edited 1416d ago )

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.

Platformgamer1686d ago (Edited 1686d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

EDIT: a trolling once in a while is ok, unlike most of the N4G users tho.
