Everything about this look good on paper. First person Kinect adventure game with hand crafted magic, milo-esque character interaction and a new engine to make Albion shine. But then all Fables sound great on paper. I really hope it can live up to its potential. I won't even mind if it's on rails... A game like Child of Eden with a deeper combat system and a clear story could be great. We'll see...

RoN would have been better on rails since navigation was the worst part.

If you raise your hand in RoN the game basically becomes on rail, IIRC.

That's true but A) it didn't work in all areas and B) standing with your arm raised for prolonged periods of time got pretty uncomfortable.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Full control definitely risks making navigation more cumbersome, but Lionhead would hopeful come up with a more elegant solution than RoN if only due to the amount of money and man hours put into development and prototyping. Perhaps half control (auto walk?) or optional control if you want to divert would be a good compromise.

How can this be not on rail. You ride a god damn wagon on a dirt track.

It's the definition of a closed path with one direction.

 

[I H8 Memes]

So you play as the wagon in this game right?

You play a wheel.

You spin me round round.

Four wheels. 4-player co-op necessary.

You can get out of the wagon.

The main character, at least what I presume is the main character, is ugly as hell.

You control it by repeatedly doing forward rolls in front of the Kinect camera.

Never. Get out. Of the Wagon.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Looks good now, haha.

EDIT: Main character is more androgynous than the entire FFVII Cast.

 

[NullPointer]

But is it more or less on rails than the Battlefield 3 campaign?

 

[LunaticHigh]

Why are people upset this is on rails? have any of you played fable 2 and 3? What's the difference?

 

[JaggedSac]

Why are people upset this is on rails? have any of you played most games released now days? What's the difference?

Fixed

 

[Nilaul]

It looks like it was inspired by Darksiders, but it could be just me.

If Peter hadn't made such a big deal and try and pull shady shit with journalists, it probably wouldn't be a big deal at all.
