Strange wording.

‘that the game will look like this’

Wouldn’t the correct English be;

‘that the game looks like this’

Some people believe the game "will" not look like this when it comes out in future. Nothing wrong with "The game will look like this", soon you will play and "look" at the game when it comes out.
The guy you are quoting is a dev on twitter, not some PR person. This is him replying to people thinking the final release will be downgraded and the trailer was not gameplay, hence the game "will not look like this" when it releases aka they believe it was CGI.

But it's only the protagonist of this trailer. Not of the game. Fable has character creation.

I keep seeing this, but has PG confirmed this at all? It's been too long ago that I played the three games, but wasn't it always a preset character by the dev that you could merely give different hairstyle, beard etc? I'm not sure anymore. I could swear Fable 1 was a character they created. Right?

They literally used a male employees face to create this trans looking character. They’re really going too far nowadays putting their ideology into video games. Can’t we have any fun and entertainment anymore? Must everything be destroyed just to make way for more woke? F@ck woke and give me back my attractive and fantasy women and men in video games. Let me have fun!

 

[WildBoy]

yep… not sure why anyone ever believes a word that Greenberg spouts

was there a date? or at least a year?


the top comment on YouTube for the trailer is saying the ESG score must be incredibly high for this game

It was not a cinematic. It's in game. The fact people find this hard to believe is telling.

I'd really appreciate a character creator or a option to choose dude. When I get the option I always choose dude. And I keep seeing people say it will have character creation, but iirc it never truly had full on character creation. It was a set male or female and you had some customisation options.

It's very plausible that PG wanted to have one character, and tell that story. But that does make me wonder if there will be co-op or not at all. If yes, then I wonder who the second character is.

If I was stuck with this character then I wouldn't buy the game. Luckily the Fable franchise is create a character.

True. But if we go by this trailer.....it's quite likely she is the face of Fable. Lionhead may have given us the option to choose male or female, but it's possible that PG decided on one set character. One where we might only just change hair style and such.

But if they got co-op in this then there's gotta be another character, no way both are the same. It all remains to be seen. It's certainly information I wouldn't mind if they shared it now.

Well that will make or break it for me. If they are stupid enough to not let us choose male/female on a western RPG then they deserve any backlash that comes their way. Even Clockwork Revolution will have create a character.

I get you, but don't forget there's also Geralt, that's an established IP, but still. You are right though, Mass Effect did have a protagonist by dev itself but also a full on character creator.

But that tweet by the dev, our hero he says. I'm leaning more and more towards she being the one and only. I guess if there's co-op the other character will be just some random dude. Doubt we'll be able to choose him for solo play. But I'm merely guessing here.

Foolish of them to take a franchise with already established options/features and strip them of said options. Couldn't you marry in Fable? So now my options are picking which dude I want to climb on top of me or engage in homosexuality which I have zero interest in. Guess I'm spoiled for choice.

 

[Quantum253]

You could marry and have children in Fable. I believe you could have multiple wives/husbands along with same sex marriages. I'm sure I have a few wives still waiting for me in Fable 2.

It looks like the video author just assumed the model was based on the level designer then took it for fact. It would be great to have less of this bullshit clicks first culture where "creators" post videos that tell people what they want to hear, and nobody bothers to do any verification.

And of course she's a ten irl...
I don't get why dev nowadays take good looking women and make them uglier on purpose. It's the exact same for the star wars outlaws girl. If you search pics of the actress she looks a hundred times better than how she's portrayed in game.
I get it is for representation, but then why not hiring real uggos ? My only explaination is that the sleazy producers who hire them still want to screw the actresses so they hire the good looking ones and tell the devs to make them uglier so they have their social gratification cake (they are so progressive with representation, etc.) and eat it too (they still screw good looking women). See the hypocrites dem a galang deh...

What warms my little troll heart is that in 40 years, when those actresses will show their work to their grand children, they will have find ways to explain why they were so much uglier when they were young than they are now

They did her dirty - I would be mad as hell if my likeliness was wrangled that much in a videogame. Hellblade actress got a way better deal than her.

 

[Corndog]

Based on everything that's come out about this game so far, I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually all they have so far. Like literally just this trailer, an in-engine target, and no actual game so far.

It’s not in engine. It’s real-time.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Why? Why would you want to play as a lump? I'd say the same thing if it were any ugly dude. Nobody wants an ugly mc. Games are escapism. I don't want to play as a man or woman that looks like a walmart employee. It's been the same thing in movies since the beginning. How many leading men and woman are fugly?

Are you new to Dark souls?

I’ll copy paste my reply from previous thread on the look of the character:

Am i the only one who doesn't give a fuck? There's a character builder.

I find the face to fit also with the tongue in cheek humour. Like a bit derpy. A bit like a medieval women wouldn't look 10/10 hot by today's standards.

Could look like this for all I care

You're kicking chickens and drinking beer. Why so serious?

Jesus, it's a comedic game. Ugly and/or fat makes shit more funny. Don't worry, plenty of other games have attractive protagonists. Don't look to Fable for your fapping needs.

Define “plenty”. There might be 1 or 2 Japanese games with attractive characters but that’s about it nowadays.

Maybe because you have to look at this character the complete game since you're playing as this character? So yes, it definitely influences the amount of fun you can have with a game. The "woke" are the ones pushing agendas, I (and about everyone else) just want to get my old fashioned fun back. Remember when games were fun, and not 50+ hours chores? There are so many things wrong with predatory game design and looks nowadays, together with micro-transactions and other things, that it's inevitable we get some kind of game crash like the one a few decades ago. It can't come soon enough, so we can reset and focus on fun games, without forced ideology, politics and diverseness, with attractive locations and persons. You know, an escape from real life, as 99% of games are supposed to be, minus a few simulators.

The fundamental problem is that the media has conditioned the audience to fixate on gender, ethnicity, etc. The whole point of diversity and inclusion in media is that it has to be visible, we're supposed to notice this stuff!

This, as should have been predictable from the start, is inevitably going to backfire once enough of the audience gets tired of it for whatever reason. Its Poochie the dog syndrome where a characterization ends up getting wholly rejected because it becomes synonymous with corporate pandering. It stops feeling like a sincere creative choice, just a quasi fashionable trope.

 

[kevm3]

The issue is not that she's homely, but moreso that they are trying to make her look like a man. They even did the same with Aloy but not to this extent. Where all these sjw types in the game industry came from, I have no idea, but it's getting tiring that they keep trying to push their agendas.

Corporations are already backpedaling and pulling all their pride month pandering due to pushback. Everyday it's a new corporation changing their social media profiles back to normal when the month isn't over, pulling product from store shelves, or cancelling trans/gay promotional contracts with "influencers."

They are already seeing the general populace grow tired of their bullshit. Even some of those that are caught up in the manipulation game communities and collectivism soup groups, are starting to push back against this hollow pandering.

Fucking LOL mate.

Its a character in a trailer for a comedic fantasy RPG which traditionally lets you customize your own character. Not every little thing you don't like is “Woke” or a “forced ideology!” Do yourself a favor and enjoy video games for what they are. Stop scrutinizing every little thing for traces of “Woke!”. It will help you enjoy games much more.

It's not the look. I have no interest playing a lengthy RPG with tons of decision making including romance and marriage with a female character avatar. If the game adds an option for a male protagonist then I'm in. Fable 2 and 3 does so don't see why they can't. If they don't then I'm out. I wouldn't play Avowed or Starfield neither if they forced me to play as a women.

People mad salty that it's Microsoft that was the first to show some real next gen looking game footage.

I'm loving all these comments...keep em coming.

Lets see if the game itself even looks like that when it’s getting released. Factually you have seen nothing yet and it might end up like how halo infinite looked pretty good at reveal, and like total crap on release.

I hope it’ll look as good as the trailer though but I wouldn’t trust it until I see it with my own eyes on release. MS does not have this reputation to be showing representative images before release unfortunately, since the Xbox era.

Crackdown 3, Halo Infinite, and many other older games, loads of bull shots and fake cgi gameplay segments.

There’s enough games I don’t like, so I don’t play them, and I never complain about them because it’s just not a game of my interest for whatever reason.

I’d say you are allowed to call out bad/terrible design though and that’s what I’m doing here. Nobody in their right mind will agree that this protagonist shown looks good or is fun to look at in any way. It’s an insult to the actual face actress. And we all know the most likely reason why the character does look as she does.
