Fable 4: Are They Making a Mistake?

It was a game that few could hate in the beginning. But with each passing installment, more magic was lost. Now, over a decade has passed without a new title and it begs the question: Are they making a big mistake with Fable 4?

its a reboot right? Fourth installment yes but new vision.

I feel like OP is trying to make a statement for the sake of it.

lukasmain2003d ago

Agreed. How could making a reboot of a beloved IP be a mistake? Especially when he hasn't even seen any of the game yet. Fans are excited for this and so they should be.

jznrpg2003d ago

Because the games weren’t all good . 1 was ok but lacked a lot of what was promised . 2 was the best by far .3 was a borefest .

VenomUK2003d ago

The writer really loved Fable but isn't sure if he wants another one in case it doesn't turn out good. I get it, but don't stress and let Playground Games get on with it. Better to find out if a new version is good then to have no new version and cling on to a memory.

Whilst Fable III certainly had it's issues, and I don't think the property management aspect was the right fit for the RPG series (by the end of my game I owned everything that you could buy) the series does have a special charm which I'm very hopeful that Playground games will be able to capture the essence of. I hope this can be out for Christmas 2021.

FinalFantasyFanatic2002d ago

It could be a mistake if they screw it up? Anyway, the first Fable was a pretty ambitious game back in the day, imagine all the stuff they could do with today's technology, might be a good time to push the envelope again.

TheScotsman2003d ago

I'm sure we'll find out in a couple of years if it's a mistake cause we know this game is nothing more than a concept. And it was thrown together so they had something. To show

Zeref2003d ago

Huh? They didn't show anything yet, or did I miss something?

Jiub2003d ago

I heard all kinds of rumors about this game. Still, I can't say I don't want them to give it another shot. Were the games the best? Maybe not, but I still had a ton of fun with them.

Sirk7x2002d ago

Also, alot of what was promised wasn't delivered at the time originally (nor do I think it was technically possible at the time to do so), but Fable was still a pretty stunning game at the time it came out. Definitely wouldn't have been possible outside of PC/Xbox at the time to run on.

PersonX2003d ago

We have barely seen anything, and already they are complaining.

NeoGamer2322003d ago

Really there has been nothing shown yet. What I saw in the trailer was a beautiful, detailed environment with some good poetic comedy.

Nothing on story, nothing on gameplay, and nothing on the scope of the new Fable world. I don't know how you can judge anything about the game, that was about as little as they could tell without telling absolutely nothing about the game.

TheColbertinator2003d ago

Buying it so long as they don't do Kinect or horrid launch like Fallout 76

Si-Fly2003d ago

Why on earth would you think it would support Kinect?

TheColbertinator2003d ago

Why on earth did they think Kinect was a good option for Fable in the first place?

Skate-AK2003d ago (Edited 2003d ago )

Think he was referencing that Fable Kinect game. The Journey, or whatever it was called.

chiefJohn1172003d ago

They did that for support, kinetic haters #1 complaint was lack of support so MS forced it and only turn ppl off who didn't care about motion gaming

TheColbertinator2002d ago

They shouldn't have used Fable then and released Project Milo like Microsoft apparently promoted

NeoGamer2322003d ago

Why are you likening Fallout 76 to MS and Playground Games? Fallout 76 was done by a completely unowned (at the time) by Microsoft studio and publisher. Attaching MS to game they did not make or guide is just wrong. That is like saying, "I will buy the next God of War as long as they don't do Playstation Move and a horrid launch like Umbrella Corps." Pure insanity.

And I can't remember the last time MS peddled Kinect. For the last 5 years they have seemly done their best to bury it.

TheColbertinator2002d ago

Because Fallout 76, Anthem and No Man's Sky represent the worst aspects of gaming development. Release a dumpster fire now and MAYBE we will probably have a competent game in 2 years.

Bnet3432003d ago

Lol no they aren't. The series has been kinda dead. A reboot is much needed.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
