By the time that Fable III rolls around, it seems to have been agreed that the economy does need some forced regulation, from thieves or not. One gravestone in the game points to the existence of a Robin Hood in Albion, a character notorious for redistributing wealth via unconventional me
It’s actually the oldest recorded name for the kingdom ; merchants from (present-day) Marseilles passed through Gaul and perhaps Britannia too, and recorded the area’s name as Albion. As a result, it was also almost the name for the country of Canada, too, until they changed their mi
It may seem like only yesterday to some, but it has now been almost four years since the release of the last new Super Mario game. The last time that fans have had to wait this long for a new entry in the series was way back in 2002, with Super Mario Sunshine releasing some six years on from Super Mario 64 . Given that a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey is yet to be officially announced, Hideo Kojima that unwanted record may well be in jeopa
However, player expectations have changed significantly from when Fable 3 released. If Fable wants to attract new players to the series, which it surely does, it will also have to make sure it looks modern enough to be worth their time to check out. Even Fable fans will want it to feel like a jump into the future for the series as nobody will want to buy a brand new game that feels like it should have released over a decade ago. To do this, Fable will definitely have to find a balance of updating the game’s older systems, like the iconic Fable morality system , while introducing some new elements to bring it into the modern
During Fable II, the player can find a house in Bowerstone Old Town called “The Invisible Hand.” They learn that it’s the base of operations for a group of thieves. However, economically-minded fans might have caught on to the fact that the “invisible hand” is a term used to describe how an economy self-regulates its
Simone’s grave reads “S. Carter, gave his life that Albion might live,” and Dene’s reads “D. Carter, ever unconvinced there is life before death…” The Carter Brothers were the original creators of Fable, but have left the company since the last game’s release. It’s anybody’s guess whether a tribute to them will appear in the next installm
When it comes to Star Wars games, there are too many big characters to count. There are so many that it would be difficult not to spoil at least some drops in the trailer. Even just showing a typical enemy in the game will clue fans into the location and possible alignment of the playable charac
Every fan of gaming has been extremely excited about a game release at one time or another. The most recent case might be Mass Effect fans watching promo material for the remaster release . If a big enough fan comes along, they’ll find something that hints to an exciting part of the game like an easter egg for the well infor
This time, instead of a fast-paced reel full of quick cuts, this game had the advantage of having absolutely no lore around it. The bold move of putting so many of the most emotional moments out beforehand disappointed fans when they realized that those moments were the only ones in the g
Bungie has come under fire recently for their choices regarding the future of Destiny . Delivering one of the biggest expansions yet with a plot ruining spoiler wasn’t an option. Luckily, the marketing spiked interest without giving away big chunks of cont
There have been a few updates over the past three and a half years, although they’ve generally been little more than confirmations that the game is still happening . According to creative director Hideki Kamiya, PlatinumGames has a lot of projects in development at the moment which is why things are taking so long. In January 2021 he suggested that a real update could be forthcoming, but the game was once again absent from
Another opportunity that Fable could take advantage of is upgrading the game’s combat system. Every hero should still be able to wield melee weapons, ranged weapons, and magic, but Fable would benefit greatly from increasing the depth of all the options available to the player. Weapons that all feel vastly different from one another would help players be able to better flesh out their own unique playstyle while also adding some much-needed depth to the series’ combat encount
Aside from Halo , it’s difficult to think of too many IPs that contributed as much to the early success of the Xbox brand than Fable . Two sequels and a number of remakes and spin-offs have followed in the years since the first Fable game released in 2004. Other than a free-to-play card game in 2017, however, fans haven’t gotten a new Fable game in almost a decade now, although there is one in the wo
Fans needed something big to keep the hype train rolling after such a long wait. Though the marketing didn’t give away too much late game information, it did give up the games big ticket character: Johnny Silverhand. The marketing also revealed his motivations for the entire g
