Oh cool, just another reason I need to get my 360 back. Although I still don't have one for getting a One.

hay4739d ago

I would hope that they will make Fable this time as advertised, you know, they hyped changing and growing world along with character, preserving tree marks and all the fine details that Fable seemed revolutionary.
But again, long times are past when Lionhead and Lord Underdelivery had credibility.

Though there's no way I'm gonna buy 3rd Xbox for this collection.

fable anniversary edition......*yawn*

3-4-54739d ago

Liked Fable 1 a lot. Purchased Fable 2 about 2 years ago for $5 and played about an hour or so of it and never played it again.

All I kept thinking was" OMG this is basically just Fable 1 with slightly better graphics."

They didn't really evolve the IP.

yugovega4739d ago (Edited 4739d ago )

wow and i thought halo anniversary was milking a cow. seriously no new games from microsoft this year. and nintendo is the one rehashing?

whats next year? forza anniversary?

Gildarts4739d ago

Many people wanted a Halo remake and a fable remake.

We are getting new games on Xbox One 15 in fact. So what are you talking about?

yugovega4739d ago

halo 1 and fable 1 could both be plyed on xb360 for and 3 years of its life. and still could if they had left the software available. a remake isn't really needed considering most people can still play it.
every year microsoft says they have 8, 12, 19 games to show and they always show halo, fable, forza and gears. then a few kinect games. do you truely expect anything different this time?

nveenio4739d ago

I wouldn't say "15" until you know what games they are. They may not count. "Kandy's Kitchen Kinect" and "Tower Builder 6000" probably wouldn't stand composing a list.

Remake isn't needed? You crazy or something? Fable 1 on Unreal Engine 3 is going to be awesome.

Halo Anniversary was like a whole new experience.

Yes I do expect something different this time.
They said they were going to have 8 new IP's.

CrossingEden4739d ago

yet another fanboy who DIDN'T read the article, NEWS FLASH, its for the 360 not the xbox one

yugovega4739d ago

yes i read the article. and i can still play fable 1 on my xb360 so hence no need for a remake. it if was on xb1 it would make more sense.

falviousuk4739d ago

Is anyone forcing you to buy it, no, so quit complaining, if you dont like something dont buy it, simple.

yugovega4739d ago

the issue is time and money is being spent on this instead of perhaps a new experience that xb seriously needs.

GameCents4739d ago

They already said they'd be making 8 new ip's/experiences but you've already decided they'll be kinect.
So why don't you decide what exactly you want and come back when you've learned how to reason.

I have Fable II that came free with my Xbox 360, but I still haven't got round to playing it, so if I like it, then I'll no doubt pick this up.

Mr_Nuts4739d ago

I hope theres a better way to reduce your ageing on this without exploiting the Hero save.

southernbanana4739d ago

I look at all the remakes I have purchased for my PS3 and question why there are people bashing the competition for doing the same...........

Summons754739d ago

That's very true, especially considering how many great games were on the original Xbox that people miss or haven't heard of today. I'm still shocked at the lack of remake or sequel to crimson skies. That game was huge back then. Voodoo Vince is one I'd love to play again (but probably just a dream)

With Major Nelson, Xbox Had a Consistent, Likeable and Trustworthy Spokesperson

For far too long Xbox have created a serious messaging problem for themselves, in losing Larry Hyrb they discarded the solution.

No no they didn’t major nelson knows nothing about how to succeed in the console business and did nothing trustworthy.

fr0sty319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Major Nelson was full of shit, for sure... I remember all the lies he was spewing during the 360 years, and on into the Xbox One years. He lied about Xbox DRM, for instance. Pretty much everything he said here turned out to be a lie. Also, let's call him who he is, not the cheesy "character" he tried to portray. Larry Hryb is his name. I guess the suits didn't think a middle aged guy named Larry would resonate "with the kids", so they had to spice it up with a "cool" nickname.

MN was a clueless guy like Greenberg. Just two trolls full of lies

VenomUK319d ago

This is some major revisionism as ‘Major Nelson’ was a corporate face for a corporation who was regarded as soulless and insincere. He was part of Xbox’s image problem outside of the US. There were videos of him fake smiling for fans who wanted photos, then his expression turning into a scowl! I saw him at E3 2013 outside the expo centre with a team of young staff and he just looked so pissed off - but then he and Xbox were under a lot of pressure that year! I’m not saying he is a bad person, just that you shouldn’t hold him up as an example of great PR because he wasn’t.

@mandf: “ No no they didn’t major nelson knows nothing about how to succeed in the console business and did nothing trustworthy.”
I totally agree with you and when I read the headline I 🤣

Notellin318d ago

Everyone in gaming made fun of the guy. Nothing he said was ever taken seriously by the community. He was never a gamer and everyone knew it.

-Foxtrot321d ago

Are Microsoft in that bad of shape we're doing the "Perhaps I treated you too harshly" shtick on Major Nelson...

darthv72321d ago

...watch out now, they will try to sell the idea that Mattrick was actually the good guy all along.

wesnytsfs319d ago

No, its N4G its so heavily filled with PS fanboys. I usually ignore the comments or take them with a grain of salt.

slate91320d ago

We aint gonna sit here with rose tinted glasses and glaze the cornball major nelson

StarcrossedBits319d ago

Yeah the first thing I thought was 'Holy cow that is some serious rose-tinted glasses'. Maybe it was written by someone who was 5 when the 360 was around and doesn't actually have a real memory of Larry.
