[Luipadre]

They really need to work on the mouth movement on NPCs during dialogue. It looks so bad

 

[dorkimoe]

oh shit its a real game now

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Demo where?

 

[diffusionx]

Is the male MC still zesty?

 

[MrRibeye]

This looks nothing like the Isabel trailer they showed

 

[Gonzito]

Why does the main character walks like a woman?

Are they seriously so stupid to not realize?

 

[saintjules]

Dammit, I thought it was a demo we could play.

lets use AI to fix it (gets stabbed)

 

[Kotaro]

Wait?!….did they change the protagonist? It used to be that iconic ugly chick

 

[kaizenkko]

I think I'm missing something. What's the objective of this game, and when does it start being fun?

 

[Luipadre]

lets use AI to fix it (gets stabbed)

Whatever tech they use, its dogshit. There are indie games with better procedural lip sync tech than this

 

[Arachnid]

Can I goon proper to this? I can't watch until lunch.

They use same animations for both female and male MC...

 

[Luipadre]

combat AI at the end

 

[March Climber]

As some others online have pointed out, youtube is hiding the official Fable channel when searching for it, for some odd reason. So thanks for posting this Draugoth

Regardless, aside from the off-sync Korean MMO-style mouth movements, to me this footage looks incredible.

As a heads up, a lot of this footage is about town stuff, buying houses, businesses, management, shopping, dating NPCs, etc.

The Blacksmithing minigame seems much more involved this time around, which is a good thing.

There's a small fight near the end, it shows:

• Parry system
• Block
• Quick magic skills
• Magic combination
• Cinematic Finishers
• Contextual kills

 

[corgiix3]

idk about this one...

This game is for modern audience. They think males walk like this:

 

[Krathoon]

I hate it when they do this. They say there is a demo, but they will not let you play it.

 

[Gonzito]

Man the game looks so bland, the conversations are so sanitized and the voice acting is terrible. Besides what is going on with the horrible lip sync?

 

[MayauMiao]

Terrible soldier AI, dumb as a rock.

Graphically it looks nice.

 

[Luipadre]

Game looks really ambitious, but so far the lip sync is awful and the combat AI is terrible. They just standing there waiting. I can see why this has been delayed 2 times already

 

[adamsapple]

Seems .. fine ???

 

[Ishma3L]

I think I'm missing something. What's the objective of this game, and when does it start being fun?

If we're going by Neogaf's Crimson Desert logic, about 10 hrs in. If it's their Marathon logic, absolutely never, even if you think you're having fun.

Also, if the CCU levels allow for it.

You made me stare at a man's ass for an uncomfortable minute.

Damnit Gonzito

Look and feel reminds me of Hogwarts Legacy.

Umm…look and feel of the game. Not the man's ass.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

DoA

 

[LordCBH]

I will certainly be playing.

 

[March Climber]

I hate it when they do this. They say there is a demo, but they will not let you play it.

This is a demonstration. I am not sure if they had a playable demo on the show floor.

 

[dorkimoe]

Dammit, I thought it was a demo we could play.

I wish more games did demos bruv

 

[Memati187]

I will stay single in this extraordinary life. No hot chicks around.

 

[adamsapple]

DoA

No that franchise is still re-releasing the last game over and over again.

 

[Fbh]

IDK.
The environments look really nice, but the game just seems kinda...boring?

Wait?!….did they change the protagonist? It used to be that iconic ugly chick

It has a character creator.
But yeah they've really moved away from using the ugly chick as the default. Good on them for at least realizing no one like her, instead of doubling dow.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Damn, it looks amazing. Can't wait.

 

[Gonzito]

Seems .. fine ???

He walks like this.

 

[Puscifer]

They clearly threw the male model in there last minute as a response. Much better walk but that booty swish is killing me.

 

[Disciple of MSSP]

I really like the look of it. But, these days I don't get as much fun if the enemies are that easy. Here's hoping hard mode gives me that.

 

[Sanepar]

It looks really good and play good too they improved combat a lot.

 

[Puscifer]

He walks like this.

Its much better, I compared it to the video from last time but it's clear the mo-cap for a male character was last minute and not finished. The hip swish is still there but the upper body is better.

 

[adamsapple]

He walks like this.

Papi come on, you're just doing the 'bitch eating crackers' meme.

Clearly they've done work on the animations.

This is how the animation was in January:

And this is how it is in June. Way different.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Fable is damn blurry. Still a lot of time to fix tho

 

[Gonzito]

Papi come on, you're just doing the 'bitch eating crackers' meme.

This is how the animation was in January:

And this is how it is in June. Way different.

It still looks feminine, the way he moves his legs is just weird. I get that you are excited for the game and dont want to hear criticism but this is not a very manly animation when walking

 

[Darsxx82]

Visually it's magnificent, absolutely gorgeous. Playground is truly outstanding.

 

[Thief1987]

That combat snippet in the end was a total disaster.
25 minutes of walking were whatever, I guess.
World looks absolutely sterile and generic like your typical soulless disney schlock
Animations belong in the ps3 era.
Graphics just ok

 

[March Climber]

Papi come on, you're just doing the 'bitch eating crackers' meme.

And this is how it is in June. Way different.

I think the two outfits (and tight pants for both) don't help present this change well.

Regardless, the thread has already been derailed and I'm guessing people will be discussing how male hips are supposed to move for the next few pages.

 

[Krathoon]

I am getting the feeling that they are making the game too complex.

They are doing a shades of grey thing with good and evil. I know that is more realistic, but Fable is more about black and white good and evil.

 

[Memati187]

Papi come on, you're just doing the 'bitch eating crackers' meme.

Clearly they've done work on the animations.

Still too much ass movement.

 

[Kacho]

The world looks nice. Indifferent about everything else.

 

[Puscifer]

Look at the bottom animation. Clearly the upper body got a lot of work but the mocap for lower body has a ridiculous booty swish!

 

[Kacho]

There's definitely still some sass in the walking animation
