.... just.... horrible....

It looks like such an uninspired easy cash-in.

It's almost disrespectful towards developers who do take the XBLA Marketplace seriously.

Looking at the trailer..
WTF does the game have to do with Fable?

Yi-Long5179d ago (Edited 5179d ago )

... it looks like a cheap easy cash-in, purely trying to sell on the Fable brand-name.

I honestly don't understand it. Looking at the creative talent at Lionhead, especially the talent in the design-department which handles the LOOK of the first 3 games, with such gorgeous and perfectly fitting concep-art of the world and the characters, they now come up with THIS!?!?!?

It just doesn't fit AT ALL.

Even if the gameplay is good, they should have stuck closer to the original VISUAL DESIGN of the series. Which is one of the series' high points!

I wish I could erase the last minute fifty of my life. I mean WTF is this garbage? This looks nothing like Fable. This looks flat out horrible. The Fable world is so gorgeous. The potential for a Chrystal Chronicles style Fable game is brilliant, but this..why?

DeadlyFire5178d ago

YAY!!! LEGO Fable. Oh wait that isn't LEGO. The HUD made me think it was. This is called Fable? Why???? Game could have easily been titled Nameless Heroes.

Im sure this game will find an audience but IMO i think it wouldve served the title better it they left the Fable name off.

It looks nothing like any Fable game including F:The Journey, It looks more like a beat em up for the XBL Avatars, but even then the Avatars models are quite a bit better than the character models in this.

If they intended to make a XBLA fable game it shouldve went the direction of a small turned based RPG with hand drawn 2D sprites (kinda like Suikoden, Chrono trigger or old FF games) I would buy something like that day 1

Mikhail5179d ago

Agreed, This should drop the Fable name.

OC_MurphysLaw5179d ago

I see this game and I instantly am thinking of games like Castle Crashers... Not Fable. The only thing that appears to be Fable about this game are the enemies you face...outside of that this isn't Fable at all. It really is a new XBLA IP but instead of going that route they tossed the Fable name on it.

Why am I prompted to sign into Twitter just to read the article? Is it just a tweet?

Crazyglues2874d ago

"Why am I prompted to sign into Twitter just to read the article? Is it just a tweet?"

Maybe to show the BC Xbox Team your support, like i did. Your call. ;)

81BX2873d ago

I show that $$$ support. I refuse social media. N4g is my daily dose of net poison lol

sizeofyou2874d ago

Virtua Tennis 4, please - latest tennis efforts still seem shonky..!

sizeofyou2874d ago

And Grid Autosport... $25? Way too steep when there's so many racing games to choose from for current gen... 🤔

DaFeelz2874d ago

$25 BUCKS?!?! I love me some Grid, but that’s a big NO right there.

Father__Merrin2874d ago

Fingers crossed I get an Xbox one s for my birthday. I've already started getting a few BC games already like lost oddeaey

ps360s2874d ago

Lost Odyssey is a great choice!

Loved it and wishing for a sequel or prequel after completing the game I wanted more!!!

Father__Merrin2874d ago

i had an xbox one s last year that i got for my birthday collected a huge collection of BCC titles it was great but had to sell it to get iphone for daughter for xmas lol il get collecting again need to get hold of blue dragon thats imo the best bcc game as it feels like a remaster locked at 30 with higher sample rate

XbladeTeddy2874d ago

I remember playing Sensible Soccer on the Amiga back in the 90's. That game was legendary for its time. Couldn't play it now though, can't deal with the graphics.

Obscure_Observer2874d ago

Still waiting for Eternal Sonata. :(
