I like the humour, and the twist with the boss battle was cool. It made me somewhat interested in a game that I didn't think I'd care for. Need to see some normal gameplay footage before getting excited though.

Only thing that was off was the face they chose for the player character.

Looks great! I'm happy Playground is putting their own spin on this. We even got a glimpse of gameplay.

Ok humor, but this isn't much. Can't say If this is good or bad, too soon. Also, almost no gameplay.

At least we know Fables sarcastic humor isn't going anywhere. Which is a lot more than PlayStation is CGI trailers told us.

The game doesn't work anymore!
~ Have you tried turning your Xbox off and on again?

So is this a reboot? I still need to play the original games

Yes it is

Eh. 1 was novel for the time but has aged so much. Most of it's concepts have been put in many games over the years and more refined. Tho Fable 1 does have a fart button. 3 was terrible

Fable 3 was simply unfinished.

The issue was the time skip, you are getting invested in the story... Then suddenly the game skips to the end.

It had potential to be a solid title.

Fable 1+2 are classics.

Yikes...

This was a huge letdown. Modern, not "old British accent fantasy" like the originals. Butchered the visual style also.

Oh well, Fable is best left in the past I guess.

My problem with the voice over is I can’t hear Richard Ayoade voice’s and not see Maurice from The IT Crowd. Doesn’t help that it also sounds like the sort of stuff Maurice would say as well.

Completely butchered the more cartoony artsyle that to me was one of the best things fable triology had but it look good, still no gameplay .

Completely different developer and it's been 13 years since the last game. It still nails what makes Fable, Fable. And that's what is most important.

You have your opinion i have mine 🤷

Garrus ClassicGamingWizzz (on 11 June 2023)

yeah i agree very disappointing, I guess we'll play Avowed instead!

The Art style of the previous games was to leverage over-exaggerated body and weapon proportions that added to the games humor and ludicrous thematic's.
It was also influenced by the technology of the time, to leverage art direction rather than graphics, it was normal to take that approach during the 6th gen when you were geometrically limited.

Sad to see that go, but if they can still nail down the gameplay and story, it will still be a solid experience.
I'll give the game a chance, just because it is Fable, there may be a great game underneath the new paint job.
