Fable 3 Developer Diary

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 01:35pm 15/02/10 | 11 Comments

Fans of Molyneux's infectious meandering when it comes to explaining his gameplay ideas or simply talking about in-game dogs will want to check out the latest Fable III developer diary, which shows plenty in in-game footage, and reveals new foundational elements, such as that you're now playing as King of the land.

The game looks a tad better than Fable II, we're just hoping there's a lot more freedom in traversing, it's less glitchy, and we can continue organising threesomes and foursomes.

How was Fable II by the way? I loved Fable but have yet to pick up II for my 360. Was it better?

yeah, it had some much better, well thought out parts, but traversing was still reasonably locked in, and there were a lot of glitches. Your interactions with people were also cool, except after a while if you were too nice, or too much of a show off you have the whole village following you, which I found slightly annoying.

Still great game though: Here's our review

I loved fable, fable 2 had lots of good ideas and gameplay elements but as a whole package I just couldnt get into it as much as the first

i don't think that fable 2 delivered on what was promised. maybe my expectations were too high, but rightly so, based on what was advertised before the release.

Yeah I found Fable 2 to be a really hollow game. For a single player story driven game it was very short and for all of their talk up about character interaction I wasn't able to form any connection with any character in the game, including my own. The characters were just to simplistic and moronic. The way you created your own character only to have them turn into a fat old beast after a few hours because you didn't eat enough carrots was retarded.

My character had a couple of kids to some artificial bimbo who apparently had her eyes gouged out so she couldn't see how ugly I was and when they were all happily slaughtered I really didn't care.

Essentially it was a game that touted character interaction but forgot to do any form of character development.

i thought fable 2 was a great game.

but yeah, the character interaction stuff didn't make you form any sort of attachment, but meh, neither does any other game.

so far all the features mentioned seem wanky and unrequired... peter molenyx or what ever his name is should just focus on telling a good story before getting into this whole human emotion and feature bonanza crap... but sif id except anything less from peter molenyx...

Fable 2 is one of the few games I've played through to completion in a long time. I really enjoyed it.

I think the best way to approach his games are to not listen to a f*****g word he says, and decide if it's good enough once released.

I guarantee that if ole matey didn't open his word-hole so much leading up to the release of his games, the overall public perception of the Fable series would be much higher.

Of course that won't fix Black and White 2. That game was a pile of s***, fanfare or no.
