Great new look at Fable III

I am impressed at how much more open it is and how much larger it seems than Fable II in general. The vistas and overall environments are really beautiful as well. Yes, it may be watered down RPG-wise, but I just think it is going to be a 'just plain fun' sort of game and will be much better than Fable II was. Cannot wait.

Pretty impressive. Indeed it looks like it's going to be fun.

i had fun with fable 2 so it looking like more of the same just bigger is good enough for me.

Yes indeed it all looks good and I'm thinking good times to be had with this one and the third time being the charm... AAA. :o

You know, what a lot of people seem to be forgetting is the fun factor here. No, Fable is not some complex RPG, but so what? I love my deep role playing games, but sometimes it is nice just to kick back with a game that is simply striving to be fun. Fable is just such a series and just because it may not be a hardcore RPG, it will not take away any enjoyment that I will get out of exploring the beautiful world, becoming king of Albion and simply having a good time being good or evil.

The first 2 bored me to tears, but I love the charming art direction. If the combat was more fun. I'd buy it. jg4xchamp

Noes, its making want to buy the game! I can't afford it this winter

I love the dog!

Speaking of which, too bad good old Saolin is not here for the Fable III hype.:P It would be good times, lol.

Being one of the few who loved Fable 2, I am very excited for this game :) .... I am the IGN of Gamespot :(

Well they have labeled it an Action-Adventure game this time around.

I have to agree with Peter Molyneux on the fact that this just isn't an RPG.

Looking good. The only thing I really hope for is a steady framerate (my main annoyance with 2). The Hole looks awesome and Brightwall Village looks noticeably bigger than Bowerstone. Really liking what I'm finding out.

I'm thinking I'm going to enjoy this more than 2. Looking pretty good.

I'd probably buy it had I still owned a 360.

Indeed it is not, but that in no way means it will not be a fun game. At least for me anyway. As I said, I enjoy my deep role playing games, but I am not such an elitist that I refuse to appreciate a game that is simply striving to be fun. In essence, it does not have to be a some obscure, complex RPG in order to be an enjoyable game. That is just me, though. To each their own.

I cant watch the vid :(

Well, improved gameplay would be enough for me. Fable was terrible in that departement.

blah. most over-rated series of all time.

what's going on where are all the fable haters? It usually seems like Fable has more vocalized hate than love but in terms of reality it seems to get lots of love.

You just made it sound like some sort of lite RPG, when it's not an RPG.

Anyways towards the video, the combat doesn't look interesting and that's a deal breaker for action games to me.

All I said was that it is more open than Fable II... and it is. I then went on to say that it was watered down RPG-wise, as it is more so than ever. Customization, moral choices and exploration is about as close to being an RPG as it gets, and yes, I am aware that Peter even acknowledged that he wanted to go more in the action-adventure direction. I don't care, I just want to play a fun game here.

As for the combat, it is indeed streamlined and simple, but again, it will not take any of the enjoyment out of the game for me. I simply think it will be fun exploring the atmospheric world, becoming king and experiencing the game from a good and evil point of view. It will be a 'just plain fun' sort of game and I am personally looking forward to it. Sometimes just being fun is enough, but of course what is considered fun is subjective. Sorry it does not do it for you.

It's fine either way, I don't get to play a game on a system I (sadly) do not own and you get to.

I doubt this is the first time something like this happened in our rocky relationship!

Do you not have a PC that will run it? I surely don't, and that is why this might as well be a 360 exclusive for me. In fact, it is the game that is saving the 360 this year as far as my tastes are concerned.

That'll learn me for living in the lawless wasteland know as...Canada? How the **** is this available in the US and UK but not here? :evil:

same here, I played fable 2 more than probably all my ps3 games combined and with this kind of video I'm expecting to get bored of it around 2012.

More immersion, I'll give them that. Hopefully the gameplay is a lot better.

looks amazing.

i dont know why people complain about the combat... its an RPG... not a FPS. People praise the witcher and that game had one of the most awful combat systems ever.

Didn't really like the first two that much but I am willing to give this one a go.

just like every other 360 'series' weird trend huh.

as for Fable 3. it looks pretty good. I've known Fable 2 to be a love/hate game from reading responses. I think this one has a bright future. if it can break out of the negativity that was Fable 2.

Tough choice between this and Fallout.

Looking good though, I hope they improved the responsiveness of the controls.

I liked fable 1 on pc, and i liked fable 2...if it kept the armor factor.

LOL, Obamanian, The Seekar... I have lost count. Regardless, I am sure we will know by the time Fable III releases.

edinsftw

yea i missed the armor... it made sense that they wanted to implement the clothing system like they did for multiplayer so everyone's character would look different.... but then they never delivered on the multiplayer and i just felt cheated.

Umm am I the only one who thinks this...? That first part was VERY linear, when I heard the world was bigger I thought it meant more open not just more stretched out. Granted, I only watched half the video and I did think the towns looked great but still...

It still has paths, but there are simply more open areas to explore. Did you not see the part down by the lake or all of the impressive vistas that he clearly said you could walk to? It is obviously not entirely open world, but it is far more open and much grander in scale than the previous two installments.

I just hope they fix the loading.
