This may well be the biggest downgrade in videogame history, these 2 images don't even look like they're from the same generation, never mind the same studio or game.
You must be new here. Every time a trailer looks "polished" years before release is called a bullshot trailer. And it's been a thing since the PS3 era. It's a promotional thing for developers to generate hype to test the feedback of users and then rug pull them at the last minute.
 
This game looks different everytime they show it. I did like what I've seen though. I think all 3 of halo, gears and this look like winners.
 
Asha please, make this "goty" exclusive too. Not everyone "deserves" to experience such "greatness".

Seriously, wtf is this? Why the fuck are the western devs such dicksucking ugly golums?! Hope all these woke shit fails and gets them fired. Fuck em all.

I laughed when Atwell said "they're not real heroes" then it cuts to this scene of redditors in cosplay.

Man, this looks like one of the most heavily Americanized, sanitized, safe and politically correct takes on a very British-style story/game. It feels like a "we include everyone in every possible way" approach dropped into a medieval setting to the point where it starts to feel a bit out of place.

Visually it does look impressive but beyond that I'm not sure yet.
It just gives off that very Microsoft-polished, focus-tested vibe, and I'm not fully convinced it'll translate into something genuinely good.
Perfectly put.

The game looks visually impressive but the vibe feels so off to me.

Become the Hero you want to be in an immersive open-world action-RPG where each choice shapes your journey, reputation is everything, and fairytale endings are never guaranteed.

Fable returns in a stunning reboot of a beloved franchise. As the first Hero in a generation, explore a living Albion filled with peculiar characters, dark humour, and chickens... lots of chickens.
This isn't just nostalgia — it's a new beginning set in a beautifully vibrant open world.

Customize your Hero's appearance and wield powerful weapons as you weave melee, ranged, and magical combat.
Take on bandits, beasts, and creatures — including brand-new enemies and fan-favorites like Hobbes, Balverines, and Trolls. Your power grows right alongside your reputation.

Beyond all the combat lies a living world where you can carve your own identity.
Get filthy rich as a landlord or blacksmith, romance a villager (or three), have a bunch of kids, and watch as your reputation precedes you. Being a Hero is a bit like being a celebrity… if celebrities carried swords and occasionally battled giant fire-breathing chickens.

In Albion, a Hero's reputation is everything. Your noble deeds and questionable decisions affect your relationship with each villager and can even shape the world around you.
Whose opinion matters most? The choice is yours… and so are the consequences. It's up to you to decide what it means to be a Hero.

Fairytale Ending Not Guaranteed.

Absolutely loved the tone of that trailer, game looks amazing graphically and with Playground I think we're looking at a potential GOTY in 2027. I remember a few years ago Gaf talking like this would get cancelled, to switch from a open world car game to this shows how good they are.
 
The biggest downgrade is her nonexistent bust. I wouldn't even know that this is supposed to be atwel, if I wasn't told so.
When you consider that a ps3 was able to render this level of ellen page, you know they royally fucked her face rendering, i knew who she was but only after some thinking, in 2026 with the rendering tech we have, a famous actor should be recognizable after 0.2 sec.

Losing the boobs is just par for the course in western developing.
 
You do know that Playground are British right? The poster you replied to doesn't know what he's talking about and I'd take a guess he's American, I'm British by the way.
I know that Playground are British, and so am I.

I know the kind of humour and vibe Playground seem to be going for, I've seen it in shows and movies.

But from what I've seen so far of Fable, it's not quite hitting the mark. It feels awkward and odd.
