Fable III hands-on preview (BeefJack.com)

BeefJack: 'Fable III is ambitious. Then again, aren’t they all. From the pre-release hype that each Fable game is subjected to, they always seem to fall short of their true potential. And here we are, with what is possibly the most ambitious entry into the franchise yet. As Peter Molyneux confesses, “we’re very excited, yet incredibly nervous,” about the forthcoming release of Fable 3.'

Looking forward to this. Only 2 more weeks!

MNicholas5620d ago

since the Xbox 1.

With games like Lost Planet 2, Mass Effect 2, and even Launch games like Oblivion and others pushing some very high quality visuals, we know the 360 can do far better than this.

And fable's graphics shine because of the art direction. There isn't much out there that looks like it.

I aint blown away by the graphics, based upon what I have seen but than again as I play through Reach, those graphics are not the best we have seen either.. Gameplay carries these games and hopefully will in Fable

Not a fan personally

Yeah the graphics suck but what I don't like is the primitive gameplay and ideas such as glorifying the killing wild animals, the kind of thing that would only appeal to cave men. Wouldnt bother me so much if that pompous bald idiot wasnt constantly promising the moon and generally sounding arrogant.

this was on my must buy list and after reading this article and a couple of others, every one of them has "concerns"
gonna wait for the reviews

mcstorm5620d ago

Cant wait for this game loved both the fable games so far but this sounds more and more like what fable 1 was trying to be.

Myst5620d ago

Decided I'd give this game a try [after debating back and forth quite a bit], may pick up a few more hours in Fable 2...

Blacklash935619d ago (Edited 5619d ago )

How are the graphics bad? If you've seen moving footage of the game you'd know that it looks pretty great. The basic movement animations can look a little stiff in combat, but that's all I have to complain about.

And is this guy really complaining about bad voice-acting? Fable has always done that extemely well.

This could disappoint, you would have to have no knowledge of this series' history to think otherwise. But, this preview is only complaining about familiarity and a few insignificant nit-picks like slightly robotic animation at points (which is hardly unheard of in huge, open-world RPG's).

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.

Crows90979d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson979d ago

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

GaboonViper979d ago

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

got_dam979d 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.

cthulhucultist979d 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.

Demetrius978d ago
