You‘re right. I love Fable. The first one that is. I‘ve played two and three as well simply because I enjoyed the first one so much. I probably won‘t play this one. Ever. Microsoft can piss off.

I was neutral about this game coming out when I heard the forza guys were making this.
not to sound like a total bummer, but with everything Microsoft is doing in regards to Xbox, how can I get hype over this or gears?

My concern on it is whether the game leans too heavily into parodying folktales/fables/fantasies and missing out on the simulation aspect of fable. Way stronger tech than a 360 or the OG Xbox. I had hoped Fable would keep building up the world simulation aspect of it. Like a watered down Black and White but in the form of a third person storybook RPG
Without the Lionhead god game elements, I’d think it’d struggle to stand out. Pretty much banking on nostalgia for the first 2 Fables

Simulation aspects?

It wasn’t done well but each Fable game were hyped up about how your actions would change how NPCs and the towns/cities/kingdom would evolve. It never amounted to a lot but Fable wasn’t a complete left turn from Lionheads god games. Super watered down to the point of barely being there but that was the hype of Fable. Changing evolving world based on your actions

And changing yourself. Frequent magic users would get old and spindly, I believe occasionally glowing. Axe swingers would get ripped. Your character would be a literal representation of your playstyle and that was cool as hell.
I’m actually pumped the Forza guys are making this. They’ve done a pretty good job with that series, but obviously racing is a whole different ballgame.
