I like the animation of the characters. If I was the dungeon master player. I'd send everyone at once. Hahahah.

Lionhead isnt really known for pushing graphics in their games but these shots are pretty amazing...

Bigpappy4395d ago

Wow. I think I need one of the system analysts here on N4G how Lionhead is able to accomplish this and what types of down grades will be needed to run it on X1.

I ask because this looks to amazing to be running on 'weak hardware'.

Priestwithgun4395d ago

You know,the difference is 10 to 15% at max,I know you will say 900p vs 1080p,so many more pixels on screen and all that stuff,but it doesn't take considerable amount of much more power to bump resolution,its the same amount I mentioned,and if any hardware gets good level of optimisation,it can cover that much difference

Immorals4395d ago

The way n4g is, if it's not 1080p 30/60fps it's just an ugly game.

I can't wait for this game. Loved every game since I got the original with my OG XBox. (never even played Journey, mind you).

GutZ314395d ago

First fable was great even though it had its issues.
The rest have been more and more of a letdown, especially Fable 3, what a train wreck.
I have NO hope for fable after the last installment.

Immorals4395d ago

I enjoyed 2,and 3 to a point. Ended far too abruptly. They are just a light hearted breath of fresh air.

NukaCola4395d ago

Fable was outstanding but way too short.

Fable 2 was incredible in almost every way.

Fable 3 was garbage.

I never played the Kinect game as it looked like crap or that junk Heroes.

"The way n4g is, if it's not 1080p 30/60fps it's just an ugly game"

There will always be a segment of people that try to shift the argument to what you're saying instead of what actually happened.

The argument is that a $500 console can barely scrape together 1080p games while the cheaper console does it on a regular basis.

Pay more for less. That is the argument.

Immorals4395d ago

@InTheLab

Both consoles are capable of 1080p 60fps. But really I'd rather a sacrifice in res for a prettier game.

Also, I don't feel I've paid more for less. I've got Kinect which is great for use in my living room, I've got a console which is getting frequent updates and I've got peggle 2,which for me is the game that will be played the most over this generation.

Xbox One architecture is similar to PS4. Most of the differences pertain to specs which means that engines running PS4's max capabilities will only need to be scaled down to support Xbox One. But as far as I know there are no PS4 games that can't be made to run on Xbox One because their architectures are similar.

FrigidDARKNESS4395d ago

The game is looking amazing running on UE4. Can't wait to see more of this game.

OpieWinston4395d ago

This may be the first time since Fable 1 where I'm impressed by the Graphical Fidelity in the game.

Course I'm waiting for more info on Fable Legends. Hope they keep teasing info leading up to E3.

randomass1714395d ago

Fable has definitely come a very long way since its humble beginnings! :D

Canceled Video Game Sequels That Never Happened

Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor.

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor806d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar806d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...

There have been so many games from major developers that we have been excited to finally play, that somehow, in some way, got axed before they were ever completed.

It's time to take a look back, and pour one out for all of the lost brothers and sisters of gaming that were taken before their time.

Deep Down is never going to see the light of day

porkChop2900d ago

Shame, it looked pretty cool.

IamTylerDurden12900d ago (Edited 2900d ago )

My top 10

Star Wars 1313 - This was my if Star Wars and Mass Effect had a baby, sorta..

Silent Hills - P.T. nuff said.

Deep Down - Visuals were stunning. Capcom, please.

Agent - it has become the R* version of TLG.

Bioshock VITA - It was legitimately planned and in the works, until it wasn't..

Visceral Star Wars - Visceral, Hennig, 3rd person Star Wars action.

Scalebound - Looked awesome early on, other than the Beats By Dre..

Prey 2

Infamous VITA (rumor)

IamTylerDurden12900d ago (Edited 2900d ago )

Infamous VITA was a rumor. It was to be called Infamous: Electric Souls and Nate Fox pretty much promised me. Darn you Nate.

The Santa Monica space RPG was a shame. Too bad SSM has such high standards, i bet it wasn't that bad.

gamerpop2900d ago

Star Wars 1313 and the recently canceled EA game were big upsets.

Raven7222900d ago

Fable Legends? Really? Every other game on that list I can agree with but that. That game never had hype. It had artificial hype from people who wanted it to be more than what it was looking to become. It was hardly ever spoken of outside of list wars and some poor schmuck who was forced to write about the game because it made an appearance at some convention. It wasn't what people wanted. They wanted a proper Fable game. They got a garbage asymmetrical multiplayer game in the vein of Evolve but even less exciting.

The 10th Rider2900d ago

Eh, I think the original concept was decent enough, even if it was nothing spectacular. However it felt like the more and more they showed the worse it looked.
