Support NeoGAF

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

What the hell was that creature!? Aloy looks like a SUPERMODEL in comparison.

 

[Batiman]

I feel like her ugliness is sort of the point here… She’s some dirty giant fighting hobo. I think it’ll fit in with the humour

Why does the site say 10/11?

This looked great until the scaling happened.

 

[NeverYouMind]

10/11 is because Microsoft still supports Windows 10.

 

[Blood Borne]

Not even trying to be funny, but were they trying to make a non binary character?

 

[WiCkEd_Co]

10/11 is because Microsoft still supports Windows 10.

Ya I'm stupid and totally read that wrong

 

[AtomicStarving]

Modern Fable? I don't know what to feel about that yet

 

[Fuz]

Cringe.

 

[Fuz]

Is that thing a man or a woman? Jfc

Both.

 

[Schmendrick]

k, so a "funny" cgi trailer with a goblin dressed up as a girl...... how many years after this was originally announced?

gosh......

 

[semiconscious]

Is that thing a man or a woman? Jfc

was that a game trailer or a hip comedy sketch?...

 

[NeverYouMind]

Is it weird that I want a Shrek skin mod? Because this could be perfect for it.

 

[Heart_Attack]

Microsoft Studios has to keep up with the ESG rating. What a horrible way to promote Fable.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Why cant devs make NORMAL looking videogame women anymore? And by normal I mean attractive

Or is "she" trans

 

[Elysion]

WTF did I just watch? Why is the black guy wearing hipster glasses?? This whole thing came of as way too goofy for my tastes. This completely destroyed any hype I had.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I really think it is only Western developers that make the concious decision to make the playable avatars intentionally homely.

 

[Aenima]

I honestly tought you could dress your male character in a dress, untill i heard her speak.

 

[Laieon]

WTF did I just watch? Why is the black guy wearing hipster glasses??

 

[GymWolf]

So they don't even have a vertical slice uh...

 

[Draugoth]

I hope the female warrior apperance is one of the jokes being played on the game.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

Modern Fable? I don't know what to feel about that yet

No, it's Fable for modern audiences.




Welcome to 2023.

that's Richard Ayoade you uncultured swine!

 

[Krathoon]

That woman is very British.

 

[Diddy X]

cg trailer and not a good one imho, however i can be interested in another Fable so i'll wait for real gameplay in the future.

There is gameplay and it looks fuckin great so it's hard to notice.

 

[radewagon]

Look... I'm the first to call people out for over-reacting when a game has a character that isn't pretty enough.... but..... yeah.... she's not pretty enough. Guess I've gone full Gaf. Thanks alot Fable. I'll see myself out now.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

never played much of the fable games. but i hope this game is good. trailer didn't show enough to get me that interested. but i'm curious. don't care about how she looks.... lol i thought you create your own char in these games. not every female game character can look like bayonetta lol

 

[Xenon]

Fable of the Homely Heroes!

I can already tell the perspective the humor is gonna come from in this game is definitely not for me Since I don't require my games to be a mirror of myself. I can't help but think of the concept of destroyed beauty, Except now instead of seeing the aftermath of the destruction of a beautiful civilization we're seeing attractive character switched out from a beatiful fantasy world to people one might expect to see in a walmart.

This game is going to be so bad.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Pretty much yeah tho some European devs still know how to make a decent looking woman

Not the US and Britain tho that's for sure

 

[Sephimoth]

Odd crossover choice with Street Fighter having Blanka as the protagonist

 

[Kacho]

Looks dreadful. Big swing and miss.

 

[simpatico]

Target audience tbh. The old Fable games were all pretty simplistic and appealed to people who just wanted a generic fantasy romp. My exwife played the shit out of it, but she's got purple hair now. I would have much preferred to see Playground put their time into a new action RPG IP.

 

[hyperbertha]

There is gameplay and it looks fuckin great so it's hard to notice.

Nah it's probably the same cg designed to look like gameplay. It looked identical to the rest.

 

[Dunnas]

That looked fantastic as far as I’m concerned. It was in game. Not cgi and not even just in engine, so just quit it with the cgi trailer shit. People want next gen looking games, and that is what it looked like to me.

 

[Diddy X]

Nah it's probably the same cg designed to look like gameplay. It looked identical to the rest.

I'm not sure but at some point you can see some polygons of the giant guy's hand.

 

[Dunnas]

Nah it's probably the same cg designed to look like gameplay. It looked identical to the rest.

Or, maybe it looked the same because it was all in game?

 

[Murder187]

Fable in game fighting giant looks great

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I do love Fable, but I have to say that I expected a bit more at this point. Lots of faith in Playground, though.

 

[Diddy X]

Or, maybe it looked the same because it was all in game?

I think the parts where they talk are cgi but the fight part is ingame or atleast in engine, you can notice several graphical bugs there, then it switches to the girl's face and the graphics are different.

 

[EddieVanHelgen]

So that's the new graphical benchmark to beat then.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I.hope everyone who shit on aloy hold the same standards here - that's one ugly main character. Everything else looked fine for a cinematic.

Is that thing a man or a woman? Jfc

That is exactly the first thing I thought when I saw that main character.

I have a bad feeling it's that ginger girl who is in a lot of the Disney movies, i.e. Solo, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Willow series, etc.

 

[adamsapple]

It wasn't CG.

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean at least they are aiming big (no pun intended) so that has me stoked.

But that was a Bad "in-engine" CG trailer

 

[midnightAI]

It wasn't CG.

Well, you have to be very careful believing 'in engine' if you think that is exactly how a game will look. In engine just means it uses the game engine to output the graphics, but that does not mean it is necessarily realtime (and most times it isn't)

It didn't say in-engine either.

Go watch The It Crowd now.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

FabLe

This is part of the reason Japanese devs are flying right now. They don't have this weird priority.

Give me Cammy's ass over troglodyte here!

 

[Silent Viper]

He said no CGI, but it's pretty pointless nowadays, because you can render "in-engine" very deceptive things, that will be very far from the released product.

It clearly ingame footage start at bottom.

Ingame with cinematic. Watcg again in 4k

 

[Silent Viper]

this looks weird, and no gameplay ?

looks like they got their medieval era diversity in atleast.

Game still year or 2 away. So gameplay most probably next year.
Game looked good. You guys again being typical neogafians and jumping too conclusion to early and bashing shit lol

 

[TexMex]

Can we please bump this thread when this comes out in five years for the people who think that this is what the game will look like when you're playing it?
