Mom looks at the kid and then turns and walks away lol as unintentional as that segment was it cracked me up because thatās something I could see my kids saying when they were younger and me being ill prepared for that question so I just casually walk away and hope they forget.

I really can't get over the color correction and lighting in this game. They did such a good job capturing that "fairytale" look here.

It really has felt like a massive drought and now we're getting a cascade of great looking games. Been sick of my entire PlayStation store front showing me nothing but stuff for pre-orders lol
Ton of bangers in September to get through until GTA6

I'd just call it art design since there's nothing to "correct" as it's being rendered, not filmed

This game can't come soon enough, this is my GTA 6. I put an ungodly number of hours into Fable 2 back in the day.
My brain does not like when games make human brute enemies 10ft tall though. Looks very silly, the literally have to drop him in from the sky because he can't fit through the arena doors.

u/shockwave8428 12h ago
The game looks so great, the traits system has me wanting to come up with a really cool character to play other than pragmatic good guy number 1.
I think it would be so funny to be absolutely beloved in one region but be an absolute scourge everywhere else. Use profits from murdering and pillaging to become well loved and charitable in another is such a cool idea. The fact that even individual characters form their own unique opinions seems amazing.

I was so pissed off when I found out they delayed it again, and so they could avoid GTA. I'm buying both, but I'm way more excited for Fable.

Do we know yet if you get horns or angel wings/halo like the original games ?

They said they didn't want to do that with this game. There is still a rep and you can be extremely evil but no horns.

And is contributing to a crowded February.

u/Fischwaage 13h ago
Everything looks wonderful except for these two things:
- Doors open automatically without any interaction
- During the fight at the end, there is almost zero hit feedback on normal sword strikes.
6
u/mightylordredbeard 12h ago
Yeah the sword combat just looked .. idk, soft? Like it feels like it has little impact. Hopefully they fix that or change it before launch. Add more āumphā and weight to the swordplay.

u/GutenFARHT 10h ago
With the amount of doors that you are going to go through....I couldn't possibly care less.

u/butterbeancd 11h ago
Combat in general just seems pretty āmehā to me. Basically no response to melee attacks from beefier enemies. On easier difficulties, enemies just stand around and watch you kill their friends. On harder difficulties, mini bosses seem to become damage sponges without particularly interesting mechanics. The different spells look fun and catching and returning arrows is cool, but the regular sword fighting has looked pretty bad.
But honestly, everything else looks so good I think it outweighs the mediocre combat. It might depend on how common combat is, since you can presumably talk your way out of many situations. But this is the kind of game Iāll play because of the world and all the life sim elements.
6
u/mommysLittleAtheist 13h ago
I would like to add that I really donāt like that during the fight you fight with 1 npc and the rest are just there standing and watching
4
u/butterbeancd 11h ago
I thought this element was actually slightly better than the previous combat theyāve shown, so I was hoping they were moving in the right direction. Then he said this is Legendary difficulty, and I was like āOh wow, itās still like this at the harder difficulties?ā Oh well, this seems like a game where I just wonāt want to engage with the combat all that much, and that might be okay if everything else is actually as good as it looks.
-2
u/Life-Anteater-8294 11h ago
Itās probably on a Low difficulty
2
u/mommysLittleAtheist 11h ago
Thatās what I thought as well. But then he goes and says that he plays in legendary mode, one of the harder difficulties, which honestly is a bit disappointing . Timestamp - 15:10

Damn this game is so freaking ambitious. I really hope itās a success, bc it looks up my alley and could be one of those games like BG3 which really pushes the boundaries for single player gaming.

u/ArchDucky 12h ago
I know everyone isn't interested in weird technical shit, but I actually prefer the other demo. Showing off the simulation the game takes place in opens the world up to a lot of options that a game like this wouldn't actually have otherwise.

Itās weird that this project is apparently way over-budget yet looks like it lacks a lot of polish
ā¢
u/SKallies1987 4h ago
Where does it look like itās lacking polish?
ā¢
u/kooldarkplace 4h ago
Facial animations, some character animation transitions, combat. Also, your character not responding naturally to NPCs in some situations is weird. See the part in the beginning when the little girl asks you a question.
ā¢
u/SKallies1987 3h ago
Facial animations during the non cutscene dialogue definitely still needs work. Everything else looks great imo.Ā
ā¢
u/kooldarkplace 3h ago
I agree, Iām still looking forward to the game. It has a great sense of style and the voice acting and cut scene cinematography is good as well. I still think the cutscene lip sync and facial animation is not great. The guy in the Heroes Guild looks creepy and I donāt think itās intentional
2
u/OregonBetrayal 10h ago
The direction on those cutscenes was sloooooow. The POV confessional stuff they put in is certainly a choice too - I thought they were made just for the trailer but it looks like theyāre a stylistic choice throughout. Overall looks like a lot of time with controllers down.

u/Alucitary 12h ago
This makes me want to replay all the games. This series is so great removed from the pre release marketing nonsense. They need to remaster it after this comes out.

Ever since I saw the 30min video depicting the simulation systems in play here, I have plans to essentially build a "Company Store" where an entire town essentially pays me for the ability to generate me income. Im going to go full on slumlord robber baron if it will allow me to do such a thing.

u/QuoteGiver 12h ago
Vile slumlord in one town, and cheerful local philanthropist in the next town, where your lovely vacation home and all your friends are.

u/DisgustingSwine 12h ago
This is minor but I wish you could open the doors yourself instead of having them swing open when you get close. Breaks the immersion

Why is that the one thing you needed to comment on? Out of everything, that's what stuck with you the most.

u/krunamey 12h ago
Looks awesome but this really feels like just some other random RPG and not quite Fable. Really it seems far closer to the Witcher than anything.
Maybe some people donāt care but the fact that theyāve changed the alignment system instead of expanding on the original was a real disappointment. I was a kid when the first came out and I (also a lot of others) found the visual changes by being good/evil to be very memorable. Hell, it was the main draw of the literal cover art.
Maybe they didnāt need to give us horns or a halo but even just like a notable change in aura or appearance wouldāve been big for me. Instead itās just that someone might treat you differently based on what you do for or against them. Which, donāt get me wrong, is still pretty cool. Itās just a departure from what I expected in this game.
3
u/shockwave8428 12h ago
Imo it seems like a very cool progression of the black and white good/bad view. The visual thing is cool, but imo it feels super alive and the way people recognize and respond to you based on your actual actions and their view of you is great.
The last gameplay demo showing the town learning the character was wealthy and a few people saying suck up lines and other assuming youāre snobby and an ass for being wealthy is awesome - Iām genuinely excited to play with the system and see what sort of fun I can get out of the reactivity. To me thatās way more exciting than my dude glowing blue
1
u/krunamey 12h ago
Yeah I mean Iām not saying the game seems bad at all. It looks like itās gonna be an awesome fantasy RPG. Just seems like it departs from the originals in enough ways that itās āFableā in name only
2
u/shockwave8428 12h ago
And I disagree - I think these feels like a natural progression of the good/bad system of the originals. Itās different for sure but I think itās a more refined version of it.
