Fable Needs to Find Balance to Succeed

Fable Needs to Find Balance to Succeed

Aside from Halo , it's difficult to think of too many IPs that contributed as much to the early success of the Xbox brand than Fable . Two sequels and a number of remakes and spin-offs have followed in the years since the first Fable game released in 2004. Other than a free-to-play card game in 2017, however, fans haven't gotten a new Fable game in almost a decade now, although there is one in the wo

Fallen Order decided to drop the "mac daddy" of all spoilers by revealing the very last 5 minutes of the entire game to set up the next instalment. The Thanksgiving Day commercial let slip that Darth Vader would be the final boss which might possibly be the biggest slip in the entire Star Wars unive

At the very least, Playground Games ought to give Fable fans an update on the state of the game. Thankfully, E3 2021 is coming up, so there's a chance that Microsoft will make a place for Playground Games to address Fable and show off a few things. For a while, it wasn't clear that Fable would ever return to its formal glory. Now that a reboot of the franchise is officially on Microsoft and Playground's docket, there's hope for big new things for the franchise. Even if it's a solid game, though, release dates matter. Fable would be best off making its comeback sooner rather than la

It's common knowledge that, in Fable 2, your appearance alters based on your morality - it's a huge part of the marketing that's especially prevalent even on the box art. Yet, what might have slipped past your radar, is how accuracy is linked to height.

Like the Fallout series, Fable has its own karma system. It's a major part of why the franchise is so beloved, but it can get a little silly. For instance, drinking five beers is as 'corrupt' (the measurement of negative karma) as committing murder.

To be sure, Elder Scrolls fans are disappointed to know that Starfield is coming before Elder Scrolls 6 , and fans have wanted a new C++ game development in the series for a long time. Despite that, Fable 's situation is still completely different from that of The Elder Scrolls. Nobody has been producing endless content for the franchise to keep fans sated in the meantime. While there's all kinds of Elder Scrolls games to play right now, there's really no new Fable content for fans to enjoy right now. That's what makes the long wait ahead of Elder Scrolls 6 more bearable while simultaneously framing how important it is that the Fable reboot comes out s

Halo has been delayed but that doesn't mean the Xbox has nothing on its slate as a brand new Fable is coming our way in the next generation . The last mainline entry was 3 which released a decade ago in 2010.

Though it certainly had its moments, some may find it hard not to feel just a little underwhelmed by everything that E3 2021 had to offer . Going into the expo, there were scores of big titles that could theoretically have made an appearance and yet the majority of them failed to even get a mention, let alone a trailer. It's possible that the gaming community's expectations were a tad higher than they should have been, but there remains a sense of disappointment lingering in E3's wake nonethel

On top of a newly revamped R&D system, being able to recruit enemies in Death Stranding could give players an added incentive to intentionally head into Mule and Demens territory. There's currently the benefit of being able to find gear and materials within those areas, but there is a point in the game where it becomes easier to simply find or make alternate routes around the enemies. So, giving players the ability to run into these enemy camps and pull a handful out to be recruited into Bridges could make the world of Death Stranding feel more alive and like the player's actions have more eff

News of a Switch port of Warhorse Studios' popular action RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance will have pleased some, but it's far from the sequel announcement that many had been hoping for. Rumors of a new Kingdom Come game have been floating around for a while now and intensified in the week leading up to E3 following a tease by Koch Me

But, as with the most recent Far Cry leak , it's the new content that fans are interested in. In this way, marketing "leaks" can work wonders. It's just difficult when the marketing of a game alienates part of a fanbase like casual or "patient" gam

The Far Cry series has had many leaks over the years such as the game awards trailer leak. But those kinds of information breaches might be the best kind of leak. It draws in long-time fans who might have grown disillusioned with the franchise. Of course, for players who haven't caught up on their Far Cry, it could ruin surprises in the st

Every fan of gaming has been extremely excited about a game release at one time or another. The most recent case might be Mass Effect fans watching promo material for the remaster release . If a big enough fan comes along, they'll find something that hints to an exciting part of the game like an easter egg for the well infor
