Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc
Similar to The Elder Scrolls 6 , very little is known about Playground Game's upcoming Fable 4 . The game was announced in a teaser trailer last summer; however, no news has surfaced on the game's development. So little concrete evidence is actually known about Fable 4 that its official title remains unannounced, full report so the game still seems to be in the early stages of development. Microsoft has plenty of upcoming games to talk about during its showcase and it's not entirely out of the question that Fable 4 might be one of them, but with how early the game still seems to be, it feels unlikely that any substantial news is com
His success was a lucky break, yes, but it also came at the cost of the lives and well-being of those around him. And now he stands in a park in Venice, praying that he can flick some popcorn into the air and land them in his mouth, all while pigeons swirl around him and the twisted visage of his daughter growls threats to his life. On the third attempt, the sun breaks through the clouds above, blinding the man and causing him to fail his final popcorn catch. Almost an act of divine intervention. The man’s head comes off, fulfilling the threats the Stand made years earl
Playground Games shouldn't rush Fable, of course, but it also can't afford to take forever to release the reboot. There's big next-gen competitors on the way that the old school Fable will have to stand up to. Obsidian Entertainment, often acknowledged as a master of RPGs, has Avowed coming to Microsoft platforms down the line. Elden Ring is sure to be another competitor to Fable whenever it releases, drawing in fantasy fans who prefer darker tones. As much as the Fable IP deserves a comeback, the near future is also a difficult time for it to do so. One of the best ways it can undercut these competitors is by coming out ahead of them if possi
However, player expectations have changed significantly from when Fable 3 released. If Fable wants to attract new players to the series, which it surely does, it will also have to make sure it looks modern enough to be worth their time to check out. Even Fable fans will want it to feel like a jump into the future for the series as nobody will want to buy a brand new game that feels like it should have released over a decade ago. To do this, Fable will definitely have to find a balance of updating the game's older systems, like the iconic Fable morality system , while introducing some new elements to bring it into the modern
It took almost two years for the game to be officially announced, with a two minute teaser trailer debuting at The Game Awards 2020 . With some of the creative minds behind such series as Tomb Raider , God of War , Titanfall and Destiny working on the project , expectations are high and many had hoped to get an update at this year's E3. Much like Avowed , Project Dragon and Everwild , however, it was a no show at the Microsoft ev
The trailer did not show any gameplay, but it did give fans some information on the new Fable . The trailer does have a comedic tone, which aligns well with the series' historically light-hearted character. The trailer also features a fairy and a medieval sword before panning up to reveal a fantasy castle in the distance. While it may seem obvious, the cinematic trailer seems to imply that Fable will return to the series' earlier setting that was more similar to a traditional fantasy world. Fable 2 introduced early firearms while Fable 3 took the world of Albion to the industrial revolution, but Fable 's cinematic trailer looked as though it will return to the days of bows and swords. However, it is unclear if Fable will be a direct sequel to Fable 3 or if it will be a reboot for the franch
If you played Fable III for the first time at a young, impressionable age and were horrified by the opening cutscene, in which an ambitious chicken leaves home to explore the city but it's implied he's killed by the ending, then there is good n
Consequences exist, but unlike in Aesop’s fables, the consequences rarely fall upon those who deserve them in the modern world. They just get pushed onto others who are forced to writhe in the background, cursing those that put them there, but never seeing justice. A bizarre adventure indeed, but one that is more poignant than e
Despite diminishing interest in recent years, E3 is still the largest event in gaming. With many of the biggest and most anticipated games now being showcased elsewhere, however, some are questioning how much longer that will remain the case. Given the lackluster showing this year, it would not be too surprising if Sony's next State of Play blows E3 out of the water, which may well lead to Microsoft and Nintendo reconsidering their attendance at next year's ev
