WHAT? Lol.

I said I wanted to see gameplay, even it it means just snippets of it.

What about this is so confusing ore requires such a defense force???

Do people not realise how long it's been since the last Fable game and the last promising potential title got cancelled with it's gameplay deviating from the previous version and the mechanics that Fable has and the potential changes that could possibly be in store?

Yes of course I want to see SOME gameplay. Doesn't have to be much as I said before, but some would be nice. Either way I can wait, but some gameplay would have been nice to see.

I showed you snippets of gameplay, back up by the dev saying everything was in game captured from a series x, im not sure what more you want?

 

[near]

Confirmed where and by whom exactly? Because that information was not available in the trailer. Do you have a source or link to that, from the dev or MS?

It tells you at the start of the trailer. There have also been links to tweets from the devs in this thread. Here they are again for your convenience:

Chief Engineer:



Lead Lighting Artist:

First response nails it for me:
"you guys nailed it! this seriously looks insane! can you share any more details on what exactly "in-game" means here? are we talking engine running real time on hardware or pre-rendered in-engine scenes? because this is a new milestone in visuals!!!"


Except that I don't actually care if the visuals actually look like this or not. I just want to see how the game plays and the new or old mechanics introduced.

Not even sure what you're asking for any more at this point. If you want to see the overworld, quests, combat mechanics, and everything else that is not in the trailer, lol just wait. But you seem to be asking for confirmation on if this was in-game with gameplay snippets or not, but also seem to be requesting things not in the trailer which are obvious. Either way, I'm going to sleep. Night.

Like I said, I wanted gameplay, showing how the game plays. This just confirms it is a vertical slice then. But man, this doesn't tell me much.

But maybe I'm not explaining myself well here? But I feel, 'wanting to see gameplay' should suffice in and of itself-as in how the game plays, various gameplay mechanics at work etc. Not in depth, but hints of what we would be playing. The Fable franchise is built upon a range of features and mechanics apart from it's combat, and what is shown here doesn't actually tell me much about the gameplay concerning it's combat and how it plays.

Well, if it doesn't make sense here, then I don't know-maybe I'm not explaining properly. I appreciate the link to the Twitter dev comment tho.

"combat mechanics,"
And Gameplay mechanics yes.


"overworld, quests" information and the like will come when they come and can wait.

"in-game with gameplay"

And this is where I feel the disconnect is at.

Yeah like i said earlier its too early for that. Your after what we got for starfield in a shorter form factor, a game that's a mere 80 days away from release (yay!)

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I was disappointed in the lack of full on gameplay footage, a minute or so to take in exploration , combat and so on. Give people a chance to see it from what will be their perspective when playing.

Once again it’s decided to use quick cuts in the trailers.

I like Playground Games and wish them the very best with this , I’m going to hold off any future excitement until we get a proper look at the game.

 

[SaintALia]

No it does not.

Misspoke. As in an ingame render. I don't know what other term to describe a piece of footage that's using 'final assets' and in engine.

 

[In Cold Blood]

Gaf : It looks shit.
Also Gaf : This is CGI, they lied

I should have got worried.when they said a "re-imagining" of Fable. Here I was thinking that they might change the graphical style somewhat, but there they were totally destroying the main character in Fable.

Luckily there was plenty of other games to play.

 

[sachos]

Well, that was just a cinematic,

It says "in game footage" at the beginning. I thought it looked fucking awesome. Im pumped for it.

 

[Draugoth]

Is the bottom right picture photoshop?

Of course not.

Unless Aloy found a whole bunker of Mac Donalds to herself.

 

[SaintALia]

It's fine, I can wait, just disappointing after waiting for literal years at this point. Starfield got a full 45 min blowout, and I just wanted to see at least some snippets of gameplay.

 

[AJUMP23]

Ugly protagonist but looks like it could be fun.

Maybe im remembering wrong but didn't you create you own character? I might be wrong, its been such a long time since i played these games.

 

[lh032]

game look amazing ngl, but is that a male or a female? im confused.

 

[adamsapple]

If it's gonna be like the previous games, you will be able to customize the character to your liking.

The Zelda of Xbox.

 

[eNT1TY]

Say what you will thematically about the game but visuals and asset quality were sublime.

 

[Gorgon]

The main character looks cool. Never been into Fable, but I'm curious to see more.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I'm sorry, the age of attractive women in sexy clothes is dead in the west.

Wait...isn't this developed in the UK? By the Forza people?

 

[TLZ]

Was finally excited they started with it, but then no gameplay, and no date. Sad.

And they top it off with this shit:

FabLe

 

[Gambit2483]

Ugly fat ass women need representation/love too...? According to some sources it's something like 75% of all women at that

 

[yurinka]

Interesting cinematic, let's hope the gameplay looks like similar to this except for the ugly androginous character.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Kinda look nice. Good thing, looks to have fable spirits. Just I really need to see gameplay to get hype about it. If you a fable fan. I can see u being hype for sure tho

 

[SRTtoZ]

Like wtf is going on here? This clearly isn’t game footage and just as bad as the last cgi trailer they showed. How are they this far into development and still not showing gameplay? I’m super confused.

Its ok to be confused when you can't read mate.

 

[abacab driver]

Wasn't it last November when people were saying Eidos Montreal was brought in "to reboot the whole project (just like Perfect Dark!)."

7 months later they hit yo ass with an in-game trailer and people literally can't even accept it. lmao

Don't worry..when the unbroken gameplay is shown, they will just credit Eidos Montreal.

Playground are the fucking truth.

 

[Havoc2049]

This was a bizarre trailer. The character looked bizarre and the whole Jack and the Beanstalk thing was just weird.

 

[EddieVanHelgen]

This was a bizarre trailer. The character looked bizarre and the whole Jack and the Beanstalk thing was just weird.

So very fitting for Fable then.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Is that thing a man or a woman? Jfc

Western devs. Putting the fu in fugly.

 

[ZehDon]

Looks absolutely terrific, can't wait to see more!

 

[BearNecessity]

Wow that looked great.

Also some odd comments in the thread, is playing as a supermodel some kind of weird escapism for some people?

 

[dem]

If I had to guess.. this is going to be a very different style Fable game.

I have no problem with the busted girl character. It’s actually kinda funny.

Man this clusterfook is enough to make an Xbox fan long for the simpler times of "wall guy"

 

[DenchDeckard]

Man this clusterfook is enough to make an Xbox fan long for the simpler times of "wall guy"

What clusterfook? Are you saying Fable looks like a clusterfook?

I think it looks amazing.

 

[YukiOnna]

The protagonist looks like that one girl gif people post where she is considering something then backs out, lol.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Why do developers make characters look like ugly CHUDheads?

Whhhhhhhy do they do this?

It's the 2020s and not being an ugly CHUDhead is politically incorrect.

 

[Eotheod]

Wow that looked great.

Also some odd comments in the thread, is playing as a supermodel some kind of weird escapism for some people?

I just assume those people don't live in the real world/do want an escapism simulator. Which, I mean just go look at the porn games on Steam for that aspect. Oddly enough, relationships are always about looks and more personality, but that's an adult discussion which some struggle with.

 

[DavidGzz]

Some are still butthurt about Spidey 2 downgrade they are latching onto other things to deflect how amazing this looks. Love to see it. I have faith when Forza Horizon 5 may still have the best graphics ever.

 

[Yoboman]

British vs American

 

[Varteras]

British vs American

This is the most overweight nation in Western Europe

Around 27 per cent of Britons are now clinically obese, and another 36 per cent are overweight

www.independent.co.uk

The UK is the most overweight nation in Western Europe, with levels of obesity growing faster than in the US, a new report has warned.

Getting harder to tell, really.

 

[Balducci30]

That doesn't look like gameplay. Looks like an in-engine vertical slice. Or is it officially confirmed to be gamplay with UI removed? Actually, maybe even verical slice is pushing it and it's actually just an in-engine render.

Didnt they distinguish between “in game” and “in engine” in the showcase - and fable was “in game”

 

[Salz01]

Why is it hard to have good looking characters? Is it hard ware limitations? Artists just lazy?

 

[L*][*N*K]

the trailer was fun. but the game is so far off. highly doubt it's a 2024 game even.

Not even 3 seconds of actual gameplay. that's how far it's.

It isn’t a 2024 game sadly, if it was they would have said it.

 

[DenchDeckard]

All the people complaining about the looks of the characters in this game...I personally feel its intentional...

Fable, I feel...was always influenced by Terry Pratchet and just look at how his characters are described or how they are visualised in his books cover art...this looks kind of like a perfect blend of that and the original Fable style imo...

 

[Interfectum]

The fuck is that shebeast in the trailer? Western devs have lost their fucking minds.

 

[Rykan]

I showed you snippets of gameplay, back up by the dev saying everything was in game captured from a series x, im not sure what more you want?

Mate, do you understand what the term Gameplay means? It means footage of what it's like to play the game. Footage of a cutscene in the game isn't gamePLAY.

 

[Xenon]

What clusterfook? Are you saying Fable looks like a clusterfook?

I think it looks amazing.

No, I don't care about the graphics. This and Perfect Dark seem to be in developer hell. After 2 years we basically get a pointless in engine short of very modern take on subverting expectations of character design. The Office inspired quirky giant is kinda funny but not really a selling point for the game.

 

[clarky]

Mate, do you understand what the term Gameplay means? It means footage of what it's like to play the game. Footage of a cutscene in the game isn't gamePLAY.

And what i showed was gameplay. Mate, dunno who rattled your cage but that conversation was over a while ago, get back in your box.
