Fable | Gameplay Trailer released

Stop using shitty CA, stupid devs.
Looks OK, DoF could be improved.
Why do they walk so stiffly?
I like the bounce of his shoulder ruffles.
Guard AI is retarded.

The game looks great visually, but the world seems so... bland?

This is meant to be a fantasy game. Where's the excitement?
It will be like every modern open world game. Follow icons on the HUD or place a waypoint to go to points of interest.

The game looks like its trying to ape Red Dead in some respects. They certainly poured a lot of money into it.
 
My only problem right now is the AI of the guards or lack thereof....while the hero is murdering them. The other trailers show agressive enough enemies. It's odd. Would be quite bad if this doesn't change.

I'm parroting on here but this video is not showing any main quests or storyline it's only showing the level of simulation built into the game. Over 1000 unique NPC's that live their lives and you can directly or indirectly influence them through your actions.
 
It's "cute," but I can't help but see this as a Barbie universe adventure; it's fake even for fantasy.

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
It feels like he is walking while having a big butt or something. Like as if he is bending his ass backwards. At least he is not doing "the hips don't lie" routine anymore.

I agree that the main guy still walks a bit weird. The female npc on the left has a more masculine walk animation 😅

I like how the world looks, music is good too. Combat, on the other hand seems boring and too easy. Maybe they turned on baby mode just to show off the different moves and skills

Has to be it. Because previous trailers showed enemies being aggressive, as it should. Unless for some reason guards in towns won't be aggressive, that would be dumb though.

Also, where is the blood? too clean.

The overly short tunic that looks like a pleated skirt doesn't help.
 
damn, that lip syncing is painful!

the thousand individual NPCs is some molyneux shit. Im still hoping this ends up being really good. Got a soft spot for the originals.

Noice!

Sounds similar to how Ubi showcased Black Flag remake with no blood and then later stated it will have blood.

Now PG just needs to make sure enemy AI (or in this case the guards) is not at 0,0% in battle.

Essentially, the game is kind of a popularity contest. I really hope you run into some evil people that hate your guts.

I hope you can play the game as a total bastard and the other bastards like you for it.

I mean yeah, don't get me wrong I'm digging the gameplay mechanics shown. It's hitting the RPG mark.
 


Wasn't sold on the gameplay.
The lipsync is distracting, the world (from that snippet) didn't wow me.
 
100% heavily influenced/wrote by females/gays/decepticons.

Combat has 0 brutality/gore/manlines to it

Protag talks and walks like he just got of grinder.

Relationships are made from womanly perspective(0 sex scenes, and u get from dating to marring/divorce and guy ask her to be official before he even bangs her? Where the fuck is just fucking her while giving her 0 commitment like in normal games?( and irl :P ).

And again bigtime feminsit trope- women cosplaying as townguards in heavy plate armors with swords and shields.

For reference I could enjoy this tv series with tons of suspicion of disbelief about female only witches defending/sacrificing their lifes for the country like usually men do(obviously they had tons of masculine traits like courage, lack of cowardice and being selfish which are normally essential for women):

But at least it had unique premise and had some srs badassery to it, while that fable game, even tho it looks beautiful technically, it just smells of woke agenda so much.
Game is posing for some feminist utopia so not for me, i would hate living in that world so defo wont play it, but whoever gonna buy/play/enjoy it- more power to u, defo not gonna haunt its OT :)
 
I have mixed opinions watching this but again, this is not the final product and is a work in progress. Anyways:

- Looks really good, nailed that Shrek-Disney artstyle to it. Performance is abysmal but again, it's not out yet and they have almost a year to polish and optimize.
- While the purchase and rep system is cool, I don't think I'll personally spend time in this at all, dating sim, marriage and kids, I know these are Fable features but unless there's any passive benefit or something, I don't see the point? Owning business is cool as it generates passive income but bruh blacksmithing two axes gets me so much money so what's the point ( I think the money is buffed for the demo)
- Writing is very Reddit, very GenZ. "Randos" in the beginning. "Literally" for how much money you owe in a Fable world is just bad, you begin to realize how good KCD2 writing is.
- Combat is really bad, no impact, no feedback, no blood or gore (ok maybe this might be YT?) not fluid and clunky and boring. Guard/AI is not present at all ( again, might be set to lowest for the demo). Also lol at fleeing from the village when the character was mowing everyone easily.
- Looks Blurry af. Has some kinda of haze/filter idk. Is this recorded on a console with some upscaling? or the perf. is so bad that this is upscaled, FG PC footage and still runs this bad? ( well they have got a lot of work to do)

I'm quite skeptical atm, go back to the old Fable Remastered (PC) and somehow it feels right, homely and funny. There's charm and character, the combat feels more freeform and works even though its decades old.

This looks like it's another Avowed but that had good combat whereas this has more world interactivity and NPC reactions. Right now I am going to put this on a sale, I wanted to really play this as I really like the old Fable but this looks like the focus is way way more into NPCs and management and relations and make-your-own-story and narrative heavy.

What the fuck is all thos busywork bullshit? Jobs? I dont want jobs I want to be a hero (evil or good).

Holy shit these guys just dont get it

Also no physical changes for evil/good actions

Holy fuck what a shitshow

And yeah it looks like 100% DEI infested trash
 
Not gonna lie that looked fucking sick.

Obviously nobody has played fable recently because that is an absolutely enormous jump from what it was.

Just dont be afraid calling like it is, bro, its made by women for women, combat/narrative/dialogues/story and even character design and animations all point to it, its obviously for most of us-males, especially ones that resisted brainwashing/indoctrination it looks crazy artificial and unbelievable.
In normal male written game that tawern would be dirty af and had at least few thugs looking for trouble yet here we got literal kindergarten with not even 1 guy looking for some fight :P
Look how nicely berserk solved that shit, back in 1997(manga that its based on is even older):

Any male, even teenage boy watches this small snippet and their testosterone quadruples, thats what good writing and catering to masculinity is :)
 
Still is very rough, animations are out of sync and expressionless, the combat looks just awful including the brain dead AI.... they have what 8 months to deliver ? Yeah... not looking good unfortunately

And please make the characther move like a man, enough with the non-binary bullshit.

This is just embarrassing. looks like an rpg made by people who never made an rpg before and it just checks those rpg checklist boxes... oh wait.. nevermind.. I know i most likely should not make this comparrison, but, i currently 100+ hours into crimson desert and that game alone, while not even being an rpg, is making this fable look like a incredible turd. I needed to start fast forwarding that 30 minute demo to see if anything remotely interresting was happening and then i entered the fight with the guards ... Just embarrassing.
 
Hey guys check out these boring ass npc's you can buy shit from!

Dont worry that none of them are funny or memorable!

I found funny how the commentator says there are 2 hours of cutscenes with this great level of quality and it was just 3 random npcs standing with robotic animations like the latest Assassins Creed. How is this immersive in any way? And how on earth do they consider this high quality?
