Fable Impressive First In-Game Trailer Was Captured on Xbox Series X

Playground has already used their engine for 60 fps modes in Forza Horizon

Fable is running on the new Forzatech 2.0 engine which has been built from the ground up to take advantage of the XSX and DX12U extensions.
That means mesh shaders, Sampler Feedback Streaming and XVA.

The fact that so many people are crying "CGI", even after it was confirmed to be in game on a XSX, tells you just how stunning it looks.

I didn't even think it looked so unwordly good. It looked great, just like Forza Horizon 5 looks great. It didn't look like the best game visually ever made, so why can't this be running on the XSX?

Lol right In-engine…Killzone 2 reveal was ‘in-engine’ and we all remember how that went. Watchdogs reveal was ‘in-engine’, lol no this is CGI since no gameplay, no hud etc was shown.

Why do you think hud means anything? Anthem was revealed with gameplay, hud, everything and we know how that turned out.

I believe he's not lying but it doesn't mean anything for the final product. So as with every game, we can only wait and see.

Glad people are enjoying the games graphics and design, UE5 has polluted a lot of the conversation about next-gen graphics being photo-realistic but I personally prefer the stylized graphics with the whacky art and environmental design.
 
Killzone 2 also ran in a render-engine. So what? I don't even doubt that Fable will not be a fine looking game, but we saw none of the actual game? That fake kz trailer at least had some glimpse of how the gameplay is aimed to look like, this trailer though was certainly cool, but had as much value as some android game trailers showing impressive graphics but nothing of the game. Imo the beginning of the xbox show was rather bad incl the try hard cool denim lady throwing empty buzzwords around, only afterwards the better content started.

It looked great, but I would have preferred to see actual gameplay tho. Horizontal slice.

That wasn't a horizontal slice; the purpose of those are to be proof-of-concept for how the game plays. Maybe 20seconds of that 2min teaser showed something resembling gameplay, the rest were all cinematics or footage with modified camera angles.
 
If this really is what our protagonist looks like, I'm getting this on gamepass and will just repeatedly throw her off of a cliff.

It looks like a regular woman with a disgusted face to me. Why are people obsessed with having beauty queen type main protagonists. That's what turns me off most Japanese developed games especially Square Enix. All the Male/Female with these weird elfphin faces/8 packs. I mean are gamers really that desperate that they need to wack their meat at every character they play in games because she's beautiful enough or complain about it being woke on social media? JFC.

this wasn't a proof of concept to how a gameplays, I left without knowing how the game plays. You could say this was a proof of concept of the concept of the game, the "humor" and the overall fantasy look.

Yeah, it was just a really good teaser trailer, the purpose of which is to build public interest and hype.

Vertical slices are made for internal use to justify budget and resources, by showing what the team's targets are in a shared concrete form.

Very different things that shouldn't be conflated.

I always thought Forza Horizon 4 was a good indication of how Fable could look, and that was an Xbox One game.

And if you look closely at the Fable trailer you can perfectly appreciate details and reminiscences of ForzaTech.

The lighting, color tones, vegetation detail and even texturing is very Forza Horizon. Of course, in different scale and genere.
It is interesting and, personally celebrated, that games are released on proprietary engines and that not everything is UE5.

Looks like a man.

Definitely some gameplay there which looked truly next gen, the part with the fireball for starters. The giant part looked gameplay but more on rails like a lot of cinematic games.
The on rails segment is very concerning for an rpg. But looked very good tho. Practically cg level. I hope it'll look that way on release, tho not holding breath.

Well, outside of that when it was a cutscene (we don't know if its real time, running on debug kit, you can offline render as well, says nothing)

Also, why do people have problem with how the main character looks? She should be some poor hillbilly, I think they nailed the look. Beside I would think that there will be some character creation, in RPG game.

I seee some people are still convincing themselves that "true next-gen games" will have to be 30fps.

Meanwhile PC versions of the same games will have options to run on worse hardware.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Fable was a marquee game for the original Xbox I think any other console ruined the franchise, I don’t know if the series x/s changes things.
 
Can’t wait for another 30fps “artistic choice” game.

Sure hope we get all that 30 fps nextgen creative choice greatness

Hey trolls, if you're going to go out of your way to troll Starfield (clearly the most ambitious game in years) being 30fps in a Fable thread, at least include the 4K part.
(But then again, why would trolls care about creators not willing to sacrifice the fidelity of an incomparable amount of new assets they spent the time and money creating?)

Anyway..
Playground is killing shit out here.

We believe this.

Times have changed. Companies change. Culture changes.

If two years ago I told you that GG would have created a fake mission/vertical slice to show off HFW months before while Avatar shows off actual gameplay from dozens of different areas on PS5 instead of a vertical slice running on PC, you wouldnt have believed me.

If they are saying its running on XSX I believe them. There were several games like Forza where they specifically stated they were showing PC footage. One game even said its running on PC with XSX settings. If they are being that honest about it, I have no reason to doubt them on this particular game.

It looked amazing and yeah you can see that it's real-time graphics because there's various details such as the giant's lips, his tie, and some scenes with the girl running away from the giant that show that this is still video game graphics and not CGI.

It could be gameplay it could be downgraded. Regardless it’ll 100% look beautiful. Playground games are miracle workers. I remember everyone doubting sunset overdrive and quantum break when the first little snippets were shown. They released looking great. Most of the time it’s the other way around but I’m sure it’ll look amazing regardless

At least they give me a reason to bash the British.

Aloy is a fucking supermodel confirmed.
When people complained about blackwashing redheads in games and movies, I doubt this was the solution they were hoping for.

I showed this to my wife who was literally revolted lmao. They are not targeting women here. Women dont want to see ugly women on screen. This is clearly aimed at pleasing the new non-men.
