Fable III

Re: Fable III

No idea. I have no clue who kojima is or what he says about MGS.

My point is - Peter dreams big, tells us all this amazing stuff the game is going to be - then drops the majority of it, and the game ends up being a fraction of what was promised.

Dreaming big is fine - as long as you don't lie and hype things up that will never be. That's my issue.

Like I said - I'll take a look at the game, but I won't listen to a thing Peter says, because the games that come out are never what he builds them up to be. It's pointless.

What did he drop in fable 2?

What did he drop in fable 2?

Don't know all the details - like I said, I don't listen to the man's hype.

But just about everyone I know who did (on various forums) said the game was again nothing like he promised. Just like Fable 1.

Well... Nothing is obviously an exaggeration, but apparently they left out a lot, and changed a lot.

That's not true at all.

Well you're the first to say that; so I'm going to have to go with everyone else at this point.

Re: Fable III

I still have to get to Fable 2. Just not enough time for all these good games.

Re: Fable III

Peter is all hype.

I liked Fable 2, and I'll check this when it comes out - but I won't listen to or read a single word the man says in regards to what he says Fable 2 will or will not be. He cannot be trusted; he lies all the time. He's just a hype machine.

I'll check it out when it's released and the reviews come in for sure, though.

lol the news conference was too funny! he said that the team is REALLY going to TRY this time? so they were trying before? ill get it or rent it but MS is too funny for wasting there whole conference on this

Re: Fable III

I believe a lot people just won't let go with what happened with Fable 1/Ego. I followed Fable II prior to release very closely, and besides the story and the family connection, I would say he and Lionhead delivered on everything thing else they talked up. There were no features removed like with Fable 1.

Like I was implying, what does it matter if only 1% of what he hypes makes it in? It still turns out to be a great game. Fable 2 didn't get the massive sales, ratings, and awards based on his pre-release hyperbole. Even if you've never heard a single word out of his mouth, Fable 2 is still one of the best games on the 360.

Still, 2010 is going to be awesome. Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction.

Why? Microsoft never had a big presence at Gamescom, and it was a Lionhead conference, and devoting the conference to your second biggest IP is hardly a waste.

because when he said we are TRYING this time it made me laugh. i was expecting more like maybe the price drop on the elite like we all expected or some natal?

He admitted that they were too ambitious with Fable 1 as well.

IMO I think they've learned from that and have been much better in delivering the hype...

I think the gaming industry would absolutely suffer without visionaries like Molyneux...we're very lucky to have him pushing the boundaries of what we can do.

Without it we'd just have Halo 8 that's just like Halo 3 with more online aspects...

Damn that's a lineup.

Re: Fable III

That's alot of money that I'm gonna be spending on games.

Re: Fable III

awesome, maybe this one will last more than 3 days and actually contain at least 25% of the things promised.

Again, what was promised for Fable 2 that wasn't kept in the game?
