I remember playing Fable 2 a ton. If they added more stuff to do with magic and a bigger world to explore that would be the shit.

Maybe even add some of the shit they got rid of from 1 back in and it's even better

>>389805281

Both Fable 1 and 2 were solid games with personality and a good level of attention to detail.

Fable 3 however was a neutered, watered-down mess.

It wasn't going to get better. Just let it go.

Fable IV will come when it's time. They are working on it for sure but it would be very early stages at best.

>>389805915

Who the fuck is "they". Lionhead dissolved and most of the key figures don't even work for Microsoft anymore.

Fable 3 had potential it just had no focus leading to a variety of mechanics that were interesting, but lacked much needed depth like pic related

Anyone have a working torrent for 3?

>>389806025
Microsoft obviously, the people who own the franchise. Every Fable game sold exceptionally well and the series in general is very accessible. A new real Fable game coming out at some point is a given, it's just that they need to find the right dev. Forza Horizon dev Playground is british and very talented. It would be a good pick.

Someone please tell me why Fable III is hated. I've played the whole trilogy and I thought III was far and away the best. 1 hasn't aged well and 2 is just generally shit.

>>389806201
I love how they somehow managed to make the NPCs feel really bland and generic. Like, it was even worse than the second one- where at least you still felt some sort of atmosphere when seeing NPCs in Bowerstone Market and such.

>>389806315
>Every Fable game sold exceptionally well
You can't just count the core games like the spin-offs somehow don't exist. Fable Heroes, Anniversary, and Journey sold like dogshit. And Fable Legends was so poorly received at trade shows they canned the project and dissolved Lionhead eventhough the game was already completed.

>>389806315

You obviously don't know how Microsoft handles their I.Ps and developers. All you have to look at is what happened to Rare.

Working on one of the best looking upcoming games and apparently having a blast doing it? Everyone I've talked to who has played the Sea of Thieves alpha said the games is fantastic and exactly the time of game we need right now.

>>389806201

Most bad games had "potential". That's not an indication of anything.

>>389806913
Yes, but that;s beside the point

how is it possible that every fable game is always bad in some way? it's baffling

>>389804654

>why can't they just make a Fable 4?

Where can the series go at this point?

Molyneux himself said it was a mistake to push the time period forward so far between game 1 and 2.

As someone who loved the series I'd prefer they just make a game with the same gameplay style as Fable and dream up a new setting.

>>389806996

Did you sustain brain damage and somehow forgot the 6 years where they did nothing but crank out Kinect party games.

Also current Rare is Rare in name only. The people responsible for the franchises people know them for left after Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts.

The first two are great.

The combat is fun, the setting is neat, and the story is decent.

My only issue with them is the system for interacting with NPCs using gestures and dances instead of dialogue is kind of silly.

>>389807028

I'll put you out of your misery now and just tell you that gameplay issues aside the PC version of the game is fucking abysmal in terms of optimization.

It's capped at 30 FPS if you want V-sync, and if you can somehow stomach the screen tearing to reach 60FPS the framerate for the game drops by exactly half every 10 minutes unless you alt-tab in and out of the game due of a glaring memory leak issue.

>>389807627
better than buying it again for the 360

>>389807798

A used copy is less than 5 dollars on Amazon. That is assuming you have a working 360.

>>389807969
Of course I do, I take care of all my systems

Fable will never have a 4th game, AT MOST some random publisher (i.e. bethesda) will purchase the property and hand it off to one of their underling devs who will reboot the series. Im convinced of this, since the project is too higj budget for Molyneux now that hes a mobile developer

It's owned by MS, they can't buy it unless they say yes.

>>389808383

Bethesda develops and publishes, they don't buy I.Ps willy-nilly. IIRC the only time they contracted work out was to Obsidian, and that was only because Obsidian is mostly people from Black Isle, who made Fallout to begin with.

Also Microsoft won't let go of Fable. They'll release something eventually, but that'll be 5-10 years down the road when people have forgotten what an abortion Fable 3 was and have started to look at Fable 1 and 2 through nostalgia goggles.

>>389807008

Microsoft likes the idea of having their fantasy IP. but aren't willing to use it to it's potential

>>389808750

Assuming the team is intact. Most developers go through so many key staff members that often a lapse in quality is the result of staff turnover.

Well that goes to show what kind of people are in charge of Microsoft doesn't it.

Someone who knows the industry would never try to launch a TTG now because there's already a saturation in the market.

This was a decision made by some old fuck in a board room who said "LOOK AT THE MONEY THAT HEART-STONE GAME IS PULLING IN LETS DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT"

>>389809302

Are you fucking kidding me? You think people are gonna fall for another Molyneux kikestarter after his last failure with Godus?

>>389809364
to be fair games take a lot of time to develop and they probably didn't know Valve, Bethesda, and every Chinese developer was going to make a card game after the success of Heart Stone
though you think after the disaster of Fable Legends they'd stop trying to chase trends

>Where can the series go at this point?
The re-establishment of the Hero's Guild. A young man with a jammed threatened by Balverines spontaneously displays Will powers. He goes on a journey to find out the origin of his new powers and ends up becoming the student of Scythe and/or some other ancient but living Hero - maybe Garth?

In the second act, you go through a very uphill struggle to convince the world that Heroes are back and that its a good thing. You make serious progress against pirates, domestic criminal organizations, and the monsters still in the world, trending more towards the latter. Finally, the forces of darkness make their move, and you have have a huge, sprawling urban battle, only to find out that they also struck at two or three other cities while you were defending the first.

In the third act, you rebuild the Guild properly, training youths to do magic with the help of Scythe and Garth. You wage a large scale war against the darkness. In the climax, all the elder heroes sacrifice themselves, leaving you as the new Guildmaster.

Nigger, there are tons of good rpgs with guns in them. That isn't even a remote problem they should have been commended for taking a step into an under utilized era.

Fable 2 and Fable 3 had much more fundamental problems.

>>389807212
>>389810315

>Molyneux himself said it was a mistake to push the time period forward so far between game 1 and 2.

These. Fable 1 was mythical and wondrous. Fable 2+ was shit since it went way too forward. It's like taking the elder scrolls to the industrial era with guns. It's not the fucking same. Everything about 2 was shit I remember playing until I got the gun and the king castle shit and I just quit. There was something just bad about 2. The dull graphics, the ui, the retarded dog if that was the one with the dog. It took every good thing about 1 and threw it away.

Don't care, still want a port

Microsoft will never release a Fable IV. Like EA, Microsoft focuses entirely too much on the online and multiplayer aspects to games. The chances of getting a Fable 4 that runs along the same vein as the previous 3 is about as likely as winning the lottery and then getting struck by lightning. That's always been Microsoft's problem and why they're the biggest cancer in gaming right now. They undervalue the power of single player experiences. It's why they're losing the console war at the moment but They'll never learn regardless.

If we ever do get a Fable 4 it will be online focused and will basically be an abomination not deserving of the Fable name

>>389806996
You're talking about that multiplayer only pirate game where you find treasure with friends (or possibly bots), right? See, I love pirate games. I even own Sea Dogs and all of the expansions but that game looks incredibly unappealing to me.

A Fable 4 could be better, but reading from what they did to the world after 3 with Theresa dying and that ponce stealing the crown and locking up the hero and all that sounded so stupid that I'm kind of glad it failed.

Because it's really gated, the interactions are dumbed down, time skip, in game dlc store where they sold dyes, the pause menu room, switching from plucky underdog building a rebellion to king occurred far too quickly, lame end game boss/threat, dumb weapon system, gauntlets for spell casting (though the spell mixing was a cool idea), etc.

I liked it too, but it had quite a few problems.

>>389810704
>the dog
Oh god, the dog. What a horribly coded time waster. Any time I wanted to dig up a treasure near water he would constantly jump back into the water and back out in an endless loop. If I wasn't near water, the dog would still get lost while barking somewhere off screen.

lack of development for the end game threat which comes too quickly. Also the desert city region was very uninteresting, the most boring part of the game. Relegating missions to focus on getting money and influence through the throne rather than developing the world hurt the game a lot too.
