That menu is pretty god-awful looking.
So disappointing, it's a horrible port.
I saw him trying to play it on stream, which failed because of sound issues. I just saw a bit of the game there, but dear god everyone suddenly looked so creepy. Especially the boy with his huge old man face reached down the uncanny valley.
I played through the lost chapters a few months ago, and how well that game plays still really makes this remake a pretty pointless release on PC. You can pick up TLC for like £2 when steam sales are on too, so fuck spending £27.
Now the original game isn't exactly the prettiest thing anymore, but everyone just looks like cartoon mold in Anniversary or something. And the modding support over mouse support excuse nearly gave me a metaphorical brain aneurysm from how dense that is. I thought Ubisoft's barefaced PR speak crap was bad, but that just.. [i]hurts.[/i]
I was a beta tester, and couldn't talk about the lack of mouse support. Someone will most likely make a mod to support it before lionhead will get around to it since they're busy fixing bugs.
I really don't like the new aesthetic honestly. Lighting and textures are better but it seems like they just forgot about the art direction and went with somethin completely different
imagine how many good games we'd have if even half of developers out there tried
Don't buy this. Get TLC instead.
I can't believe i wasted money on this shit, i wish i could refund. Ive got a controller setup but the game still feels awful.
Wow, the visuals in TLC are actually more pleasing to the eye. The models and textures in Anniversary are better, but everything still looks washed out and gross.
Fuck this, I'm getting TLC/original game then I'm rebinding my controller so I can play it using that it'll be much more worth it I'm sure.
I fucking loved Fable. I bought the original version, I bought The Lost Chapters when it came out, it was my Morrowind, I played it for hundreds of hours as a kid, hell, I had it so down I could and often would beat the game in a single day, start to finish, and not skimping out on extra content neither, and I was pretty fucking hype for this game.

Holy fuck what happened to the hero's face. THAT IS NOT A NORMAL HUMAN BEING'S FACE.

Not to mention the hair and goatee which look terrible and completely separate from the head and face, even the old Maze looked more natural than that. This goes for all the characters, really, the hair on all of them seems to stick out like a sore thumb and look somehow less natural than their counterparts on [I]the original XBOX.[/I] Hell, not even mentioning the original game, Demon's Souls had a similar hairstyle to new Maze there that looked better and more natural n 2009, and that was 5 years ago.

On the other hand, pretty much everything conveys this weird sort of completely changed aesthetic compared to the original. It's.. 'cleaner' yet moldier. The original Fable was a gritty sort of cartoony, to a degree, but now everything looks like clean-cut clay and much brighter colors, which may theoretically be alright at first, but the end of the prologue and the majority of the rest of the game demonstrate otherwise. It's really fucking weird to compare the two styles.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;45982275]Uh Anniversary is distinctly less colourful than the original.[/QUOTE] That's just what it looked like from the video footage. Maybe i'm mistaking 'brighter colors' for 'bloom'.
[QUOTE=RikohZX;45983881]That's just what it looked like from the video footage. Maybe i'm mistaking 'brighter colors' for 'bloom'.[/QUOTE] Naw it's all washed out and looks kinda dull. It isn't until you disable the blur that it looks colourful except that it make everything look piss yellow for some fucking reason. So take yur pick, blurry with dull colours or sharp and piss yellow.
This thread inspired me to get TLC again. God damn this is [I]the shit[/I]
