Fable III - Games - Facepunch Forum

Yeah, Fable Three. Just officially announced about 5 hours ago, there isn't much to say except a short teaser and a couple facts. The reason this topic isn't in the Xbox board is because since it was just announced I've got no clue how many consoles it will end up on. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU5jI_L1w1Y[/media] "The race for the crown has begun." Tagline spoken by Zoe Wanamaker/Narrator. Game takes place about 50 years after the first. You play as the child of the hero. Bowerstone has continued moving on and has become quite industrial. The game is not just about Albion this time. Half the game will be spent trying to ascend to power. The game will not turn into a micromanagement RTS after that point. Judgment and Touch system will be used to influence the world. Focus on story and drama in this iteration. Actors and writers have blocked entire scenes. Video shown of practice sessions. Asks what type of kingdom will you have: poverty/greed, tyranny/compassion, progress/tradition? On the way to the crown, players will make deals and promises to factions. The question is whether people will keep those promises once they're in power. Players are a hero ruler -- Molyneux used the example of Star Trek or Caesar, that players won't just be sitting around once they rule Albion. They will still have adventures. New gameplay mechanic: Judgment and Touch. Judgment allows the player to dictate the outcome of a situation. The example used was a girl who steals food is brought in front of the ruler. The player can judge her immediately or investigate. Touch will allow players to grab NPCs. Example used was running into a burning building to grab a child who wouldn't come otherwise. Now you can shake someone's hand or refuse to. Handshake leads to hug, to embrace, a "snog," and as for that last one, Molyneux "won't say where it'll lead." This will replace the expression system.

They are replacing expressions? Fuck.

R.I.P Expressions Yay for a new Fable, but won't this be a time paradox since...argh I lost myself.

I liked the first one, second didn't really appeal to me, this one I'm probably not going to like.

I want my fucking Chicken Expression, God Dammit.

I liked the 2nd one, but not as loved as the first.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;16793292]I liked the 2nd one, but not as loved as the first.[/QUOTE] To be honest, I have more fond memories of the second one then the first, even though the first one is a VERY close 2nd.

The first one was best imo. [editline]02:42PM[/editline] Hell, I nearly cried after I completed the game. Don't ask me why.

fable 2 isnt even on pc yet maybe they should get around to porting it before they make a 3

I get the feeling it may be a bit early to already be announcing a sequel.

I liked the second, but after owning every building and completing the story, there's not much else to do, and ownership of buildings exponentially increases until you have them all, so the first few were slow to get, but the last few were just minutes apart

[QUOTE=YoMother;16793236]If that was ingame I'm gonna masturbate.[/QUOTE] Of course it isn't. It's never in-game. I'm sick of Molyneux boasting about all of these features and then never delivering on any of them. Why does he keep trying? Does he just really like trolling or something? I'd love to see him come on stage and just say something like "well guys, it's a game" so that he can actually deliver on his promise for once.

Hey cool Zoe Wannamaker. I'm totally watching My Family later.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;16793816]He came really damn close on the second one.[/QUOTE] I respect your opinion, however, having endured the hype and played the game, I strongly disagree with you.

Can't wait! I love Fable

i hope it comes to PC too, like fable TLC.

[QUOTE=J Paul;16793880]I respect your opinion, however, having endured the hype and played the game, I strongly disagree with you.[/QUOTE] I guess I enjoyed it because I took the promises he made in Fable I and simply transferred them to Fable II, while also trying to avoid the virtual dick-swinging Molyneaux is famous for.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;16793928]I guess I enjoyed it because I took the promises he made in Fable I and simply transferred them to Fable II, while also trying to avoid the virtual dick-swinging Molyneaux is famous for.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, I'm just saying that it's absolutely nothing like what was promised, just like the first game.

I wish they'd make the second one for PC already.

Let's hope it's not as brutally terrible as Fable 2.

I really hope its not as fucking linear as the first two, needs to be more free roam and less invisible wall. Although at the time that fable 1 was reciveing maximum hype i was playing morrowind, so as you would expect the tiny in game world connected by paths was a punch in the dick for me.

I haven't even played the second one. God damnit release a PC version already.

The Fable series, from Fable 2 and beyond, is married to the Suck Box 360. Liongate isn't even planning a Fable 2 for PC.

"AND WE HAVE THIS COOL NEW 'PET' FEATURE WHERE YOU CAN TAME ANIMALS AND --" "But, what about Fable II for the PC?" ":tinfoil:" "That isn't even out yet, why are you already planning on Fable III, you bloody hipocrytes" "AND YOU CAN GET MARRIED AND HAVE LOTS OF SEX. OR DON'T..."

I just hope everyone doesn't have downs syndrome like they did in Fable 2 again.

[QUOTE=Ilovefacepunch;16795676]Maybe they are going to make an expansion pack and port that to the PC, like they did with TLC.[/QUOTE] They aren't making any expansions or anything related to Fable II, because Fable II is now history. It is obsolete. It's never coming to PC.

Fuck yes :buddy:
