We knew this was going to happen. There was no way they released Fable (8 years in dev) to die in the same season as GTA6. As soon as GTA6 got delayed I knew this fable wouldn’t come out this year.

I don’t think anyone is truly surprised by this… What’s going to hurt is when it’s inevitably cancelled and the studio is shut down.

Unlike something like Perfect Dark, this game seems far closer to being done, and what they showed of it was really impressive. Plus, if you thought shutting down Tango Gameworks was stupid, nothing would sink Xbox…sorry, XBOX…faster than shutting down this studio, since they’re the goose that lays the golden eggs known as Forza Horizon.

Thing is, you can’t trust what they show. Remember the Halo 2 fiasco.

Yeah, that’s pretty common. That type of demo was what Perfect Dark was, and it was obvious. You learn to spot one from the other, and I have a hard time explaining why Fable’s comes off as real, but at least part of it is its proximity to release and how much of what they showed was left to your imagination.
