[GameRant.com] Fable Leak Suggests Disappointing News for Fans // Reportedly in danger of slipping into 2027

It's also hard to ignore that they haven't released a FH in the time this has been in full production. I suspect that like everything else at MS, playground is now a mess.
Not to mention if you're making "Fable", that original design doc is basically multiple times the scope of Elder Scrolls. So good luck not letting feature creep set in. Actually, you don't have to worry about feature creep if you're going strictly by the doc, because it leaves no known video game feature out of the project. The fact Peter convinced thousands of adults and the biggest company in the world that such a thing was even remotely plausible is amazing. Go read some of the original interviews about the project. If you're a big wig at Playground, you're probably riding pretty high on the last decade. Thinking that your deft abilities as a big wig guided Horizon to the wild success that it's found. You're gonna look at that pitch and say "I can pull it off. All of it".
 
Here's how woke Microsoft is.

You will play as a woman who kinda looks like a man and you will love it.

And of course THERE WILL BE DIVERSITY!!!! CAUSE WHY? CAUSE REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!

I mean diversity in a setting based on medieval England?

Yeah cause REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!! Are you deaf? REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!! So yes there will be diversity in the new Fable game and you will love it. And oh also, we made the president of Xbox (the face of Xbox brand) a diverse woman as well, cause we're woke like that.

Bumped that thread to be a useless troll? There has been "diversity" since the original Fable.

And it's 99% certain you will be able to choose to play as a man or a woman, like the previous entries, barring the first game.
 
The problem is, in the new Fable, they're gonna make it way more diverse than previous games cause Microsoft is way more woke nowadays. In a setting based on medieval England.

That's my point, they're going to put diverse characters all throughout this game.

I will be surprised if you last the week if this is what you're bringing to NeoGAF.

EDIT: He didn't even last the next few hours. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

As Gaiff Gaiff said, Fable has always had diversity. Diversity isn't the issue. Forced diversity is the issue. We don't know enough about the game to speak on the forced diversity aspect.

Also, Fable is a fantasy game in a fantasy setting. It isn't a Kingdom Come Deliverance type game which went for a more historical narrative.

Seriously. I thought there was some news, but it was just a pointless troll bump.

To get on topic I would love some news. All the *Fable* games are flawed sure, but they have interesting ideas and aren't a copy/paste of the usual. I wish it worked out more often but whatever, at least they try.

Yeah, I can't fault Molyneux for trying new things, however dumb and impractical they are. He was passionate about giving a new vision to players.

For instance, in Fable 2, the co-op has a fixed camera following both players even though they're on separate screen. His justification was that he wanted co-op to feel like it was a team effort and for the players to always be able to see each other. It ended being fucking dumb and ruining co-op because the camera sucked, but hey, he tried lol.
 
The problem is, in the new Fable,

The problem is you bumping 4 month old threads, with no new info to be discussed in a thread about the game being slipped into 2027.

The game has had diversity since the very first one that released 21 years ago, but you anti-woke retards on twitter weren't born back then or even played the games to realize that.

Stop bumping threads with your stupid grift that ran it's course right after the reveal of the game, because it hurts your precious feelings. Facts don't give a fuck about your feelings. Fuck your feelings.
 
Nothing wrong with diversity and the old Fable as well as other fantasy games have had diversity since forever.

With that said, that poster with that name and bumping a very old thread on an obvious alt. Definitely either one of the mentally insane resetera playing pretend or one of those stupid trolls from
4chan.

Bumped an old thread to tell us how you really feel about black people?

Very well said.

Good thing you clarified that it was your point. Don't think anyone would've deciphered such complexity.

Are you five years old?

I'm so sick of people crying about "whats woke and whats not" you are literately turning in to people you hate but instead calling everything "problematic" you call everything "woke"

The word "woke" no longer has any meaning other than calling everything you personally don't like "woke".

I can't imagine the ballooned budget of this game. Given the state of Xbox, they must be shitting their pants over Fable 4.
 
The bigger issue is now they own Bethesda and Obsidian, do they actually need another RPG studio ?

Its really that simple. If this thing doesn't do well, I'm doubtful they'll consider "yes", to the above

Those two should be all they need.

Had they just focus on pumping out a decent single player Fallout or Elder Scroll game at the beginning than they would have been released and each one of those games would make Microsoft way more successful by themselves compared to them trying to pump out a bunch of mid titles that don't even end up being good or selling well.

I sure hope so. Half the fun of the earlier games was creating + role playing whoever you want, and seeing your character's appearance change as a result of your actions.

I played Fable 2 as a morbidly obese woman with a beard. I bought and ate every pie I could find to pack on the pounds. And I beat any of my husbands who dared to comment on my appearance.

Really hope they don't force us to play as a pre-defined character for this one. So far all the footage has featured our favorite heroine.

there's no creepier aspect of human nature than people's ability to do this...
 
Again, surprised they have not shuffled this off to Obsidian at this point.

Any way...this game isn't coming out, or if it does it will be competing in a very crowded release month with Beyond Good and Evil 2.

What's likely to happen is the team working on this game will be mostly laid off in the rumored Q1 layoffs, the rest will be moved to other teams, and the game will finally be canceled after like 12 years of sort of but not really being developed

Basically it's going to get Perfect Dark'd

It's not releasing any year. The game is done, I reckon.

Big budget, years of development hell, and for a series that has sold a total of 7-9 million (at best), with the last entry being years ago, and also received very poorly. Most of the people that knew about Fable, and enjoyed it years ago, have moved on, or there's just not enough of them to keep this game alive.

We always knew it was a western AAA game and was going to have ugly manly women. It's kind of on brand.

I'd be more shocked if this wasn't weirdly designed, overly colorful slop with quippy dialouge every 5 minutes when it ships.

What I really wonder about is how many professional reviews will say "return to form" for the Fable series when this releases in 2027.

Diversity is not the problem. Sony first party studios have diversity and still make an amazing game, most Playstation top sellers are Sony first party games. The problem is when you only think of diversity and loose track of making a good game like what happened in Avowed.
