Fable - Official Announce Trailer
- Thread starter Bullet Club
- Start date
There was a discworld adventure game on the PS1.
Played them both, and the amazing Discworld Noir. But those are all point and click adventure games, s8 a bit different.
Eric Idle of Monty Python did the voice for Rincewind iirc.

I'd guess 2023 for this one, just based on some of the positions that have been filled since the game was announced. But, who knows.

Fable is supposed to use a proprietary engine

Interesting. I believe they always used UE for the fable games. I just hope it keeps its art style. It won't be Fable without it imo.
Pretty sure it was inhouse till The Journey. They used Unreal again on Fable Anniversary.
I agree with art style. It needs to retain that wimsy, slightly cartoony colorful arstetic. Music is also highly important. It's a pity it doesn’t look like Russel Shaw is involved. His music is maybe the one single most important thing for setting that Fable mood.
I hope they keep some of the themes at the very least.

I have to say, every time I see this game pop up I think about the deer person working on it lol. Can’t say I have high expectations

That person has been working in the industry for over a decade and has a degree in architecture.

They are probably using the same engine of Forza / Forza Horizon / Flight Simulator for this. This engine is been updated to DX12U and the first release will be Flight Simulator for Series X|S

In a studio of almost 400 people, if you are looking at the identity of one person then you have got your identities wrong.chrisjm.co.uk

Their CV is pretty weak, no commercial experience and their examples are pretty poor, I've seen new graduates with much stronger examples of work.
But of course we don't know their potential, knowing architecture does give them some unique insight into things.
But then they could be making way more money if they stuck with architecture so my first interview question would be why did they pivot into level design.
My 2 cents

Looking at flight simulator surely this has to be the best engine for an open world game?

Wait, Fable is using the Forza engine now? Huh.

Flight Simulator uses Asobo's in-house engine. Why do you people keep spreading this FUD without ant evidence?

But can you build an actual game with the Forza engine? Car games are basically empty worlds with static objects driving on the surface of that world. It's extremely simple.
(I'm not dissing Forza btw, it's one of my favorite games)
Bernkastel

Its not about what types of games. There has been zero official communication regarding any connection between Forza and Flight Simulator engine. Asobo has even said that it uses their own in house engine.

Familiarity. RAGE is made by Rockstar San Diego and is derived from the engine tech used in Midnight Club and Midtown Madness. Forza Horizon already has open world environments.

Of course, racing games used to be launch titles as they are easy to do with a basic game engine. Most game engines start off as a racer as it's a good test of the streaming tech. Look at GTA, that's pretty much a game built on top of a racing engine, in development they would have done the vehicle stuff first and the slower on foot stuff second.

This dude wrote one article for Forbes over a year ago, that's it, and has never leaked anything before.
So take it with a MASSIVE grain of salt.

I would love to see it. My dream is for a reboot in the vein of The Witcher 3

Nah close to 0 chance. Fable gameplay reveal has E3 written all over it. Also most likely coming in 2023, what's the point of having gameplay now?

That would actually make the awards bearable, but i doubt it.

Considering we still haven't even got a proper Hell blade 2 reveal since the xsx announcement, I doubt this very much.
Garrett can go fuck right off to whereever he just came from.
