Ste for a big reveal at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles next week, Fable Anniversary will be a retail packaged title on Xbox 360.

oh shit that is a huge leap, inb4 ps4 fans rip this apart

HeavenlySnipes4737d ago

Seeing as how The Lost Chapters was the only good Fable game in my eyes, I'm happy they did this

Nevers4737d ago

I really enjoyed Fable and don't remember why I felt totally let down by the actual Fable ending anymore... but The Lost Chapters made up for that for me as well.

I'm really happy they are including them in this.

SIRHC134737d ago

I'm on the PS4 bandwagon.

But this looks good. Reminds me of the leap from Halo CE to CE Anniversary(Which is good).

cleft54737d ago

I am a fan of games and rights. I love the Fable games, so I am looking forward to this game and buying a ps4 as well. Love this series, I do wonder if it will come to PC.

Brasi19894737d ago

I hope it comes to the PC as well. Loved Fable with a passion.

wastedcells4737d ago

I loved fable 2 and never got to play this. I'll grab this if the price is right. Hope it drops before ps4 comes out though. If so might not have the time or still care.

Gildarts4737d ago

Damn this looks so amazing.

Prophet-Gamer4737d ago

Hell yea, and for the 360 too! Awesome.

Studio-YaMi4737d ago (Edited 4737d ago )

You didn't need to add that last bit of immature fanboy flamebait,because this actually looks very good and such a big leap from the original game considering the graphics + art design.

It's beautiful ! :D

Very nice. Loved Fable 1. Very good comparison in this screen. http://electronictheatre.co...

I'll definitely pick this up, as Fable 1 is the best and closest to their original promise.

I like this whole MS re-branding of HD remakes as complete remakes dubbed "Anniversary" Very clever. We need more.

BattleTorn4737d ago (Edited 4737d ago )

Don't get me wrong, I think this anniversary edition looks great and I'll definitely be getting it.. But I hope this isn't what Lionhead studios has been working on for so long.

This makes me fear that a new and improved (back to it's roots) next-gen Fable might not launch for Xbox One.

The HD remakes were a way for the companies to extend this generation, (and this game will undoubtably for the 360) but MS needs to turn a new leaf already!! Show us launch games, new franchises, or at the very least new instalments of their (milk) franchises! Not HD-remakes, in the year of the next-gen launch!

There's my rant.

IAMERROR4737d ago

I didn't like Fable 2 that much, should I give this a try?
From what I hear the original is the best

Zechs344737d ago

Oh yes, I personally LOVED Fable 1, it was the reason I bought an original Xbox along with KOTOR.

Fable 2 was good compared it, but I personally loathed Fable 3 :/

Captain Qwark 94737d ago

feel exactly the same. this is cool and all but id much rather a new tale, a fable 4 but with mechanics just like the original and a few new ones.

odd how a step back is actually a step forward lol

Adexus4737d ago

Definitely give it a try, it's the best by far and one of my favourite games of all time!

BattleTorn4737d ago

Lost Chapters > Fable 2 >>> Fable 3

JokesOnYou4737d ago

Yeah the original was the best, I think they started trying to make the sequels more mainstream like others and lost some of that quirky appeal that made the 1st so good.

Fishermenofwar4737d ago

nothing to really rip up...The difference is huge..I'm a Ps fan also....

CrossingEden4737d ago

well i've seen more positive news ripped apart by sony fanboys
http://n4g.com/news/797365/...
read the comments marked as "trolling" apparently donating to charity for veterans is pathetic

Haules4737d ago

Go cry elsewhere fanboy.... u seem to forget the bashing of ur xfanboy bodies in every PS3 article back in 2008...

On topic! i loved the First Fable and imo this what i call a remake. Looks great! :D

JokesOnYou4737d ago

hey but why look for a fight, nothing but rational comments here so why worry about that BS?

Salooh4737d ago

This is great. However, This is like an Super HD game. You will play the same game. They should make fable 4 for next generation. That's all i'm saying. Developers are not acknowledging the next generation like before. They are holding next generation to get more money from this generation. That's what's bothering me..

Wizziokid4737d ago (Edited 4737d ago )

Fable was an amazing game, would love to play this again, I hope it comes out for PC!

DOMination-4737d ago

I don't think it will because MS said only the other day that all their future Microsoft Game Studios releases will be Xbox exclusives.

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

ColdSin2143d ago (Edited 2143d 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.

Zoned2143d ago

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

moongrim2143d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears2143d ago

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

moongrim2143d ago

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

Zoned2143d 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

RaidenBlack2143d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack2143d ago (Edited 2143d 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.

Zoned2142d ago

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

RaidenBlack2142d 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.

porkChop2143d 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.

sushimama2143d 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.

Zoned2143d ago

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

RgR2143d 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.

RgR2143d ago

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

chiefJohn1172143d ago (Edited 2143d ago )

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