Fable Needs to Be the Xbox Series X's Breath of the Wild

Fable Needs to Be the Xbox Series X's Breath of the Wild

Of all of the games rumored for the Xbox Series X, a reboot of Fable is one of the most anticipated. While the game is in no way confirmed, there are rumors that Fable will appear at Xbox's exclusive presentation in July , resurrecting a franchise that hasn't received a true new entry in almost a dec

When it comes to local co-op, it's hard to beat Halo: The Master Chief Collection . Once players manage to get this massive game downloaded, they can play through the first four Halo games, plus Reach and ODST , entirely in split-screen co-op. Few games are as iconic as the Halo series, and while there are certain aspects of Halo 1 's campaign that haven't aged all that well, the games are still some of the absolute best first-person shooters on the mar

On the other end of that are games that dropped the morality system entirely, one example being Fallout 4. Ditching the Karma system wasn't a popular decision, but it did make players consider why they did what they did, rather than just making binary choices to fit the mold of a hero or villain. That's not an easy thing to accomplish, and unrooting players from a mechanic they've used for the better part of a decade is commendable, even if there's a notable shift in how well that change works. Morality in the game is by no means perfect, there were pointless decisions in Fallout 4 , and players were forced to play the hero in most situations, but it did make the smaller-scale decisions worthy of reflect

A next-gen Fable , sometimes referred to as Fable 4 in the absence of an official announcement, has been rumored for quite some time to be in development. With this year's launch of Xbox's next-gen offering with the Xbox Series X console, those rumors have naturally shifted to suggest that Fable would appear as a next-gen game if it is indeed in development at

The internet began speculating about a Resident Evil 3 Remake after fairly credible leaks and teases found their way online, as they tend to do. Fans were expecting to see a trailer, or even possibly gameplay, at some point during one of the press conferences this year, particularly due to the success of the Resident Evil 2 Remake, but it appears that fans will have to wait a little while longer to battle Nemesis in

Earlier when I was mentioning perfect RPG's I was close to bringing up this beauty but had to save it for the right occasion, and that occasion is now. Many argue that Fallout: New Vegas is not only the best modern Fallout game but the best game in the ser

Here's a fun bit of information - did you know that modders have continued to support Madden 08 for ten years after it was created? While this is no doubt an impressive feat, it has been done on PC before; but why would a game like Madden 08 receive this same treatm

However, perhaps the most interesting portrayal of morality – one that Fable should take notes from – is that found in The Witcher 3. Choices in The Witcher 3 have real weight, in part thanks to how well the game portrays its world as being "lived-in." That manifests itself in many different ways, and on a surface level may not even look like a morality system. Geralt is, after all, a hero, but with his decisions determining who lives, who dies, and, in some cases, the well-being of entire cities, it's hard to deny the state of the world at the end of the game as a sort of morality system for Ger

Fable 3 is one of those games that makes you think "why, why isn't this game good?" Any Xbox owner back in the early-to-mid 2000s would've told you that the Fable franchise could contend with the greats. And all it needed was a crowing third game to solidify this franchise as one of the best - but, that never c

Zombies as a sub-genre are over-saturated in, well, everything. They've long taken over our movies and books, but in gaming, they've reached a new height of fatigue. Nazi Zombies, State of Decay and Days Gone are just some of the many that tired the genre. But not Killing Floor, this game - while not the prettiest or most modern - broke new ground in a genre where that was previously thought impossi

Shinji Mikami let it be known that he was going to be at E3 2019, but it was anyone's guess as to what new project he would announce. Instead of revealing another Evil Within game at Bethesda's E3 2019 press conference, Mikami announced GhostWire: Tokyo , which is being directed by the energetic Ikumi Nakamura . We only got to see a cinematic trailer for the game, but from what we can tell, GhostWire: Tokyo looks plenty creepy, and with Tango Gameworks at the helm, it should have little difficulty satisfying horror f

There were rumors that original Fable developer Lionhead Studios was planning to make a Fable 4 that was going to be "R-Rated," but with Lionhead shuttering and a next-gen Fable assumed to be under development under a completely new developer, none of those previous plans should be assumed about the game that could now be in development. If the next-gen Fable kept its silly, slightly irreverent tone while still making the Adventure game crafting guide lighthearted enough to skew interest from younger players, Xbox could potentially have something in its lineup that appeals to both older fans of the original series and new, young players who enjoy experiences like Breath of the Wi
