Fable III

Recommended Posts

So basically it's going to go down a casual route to try and get more people to buy it.

 

Yup pretty much. Ignore the people who have stuck by the series and try to get newbies in.

 

I see it the same as banks who offer introductory offers to new customers when it should be their loyal customers they should be rewarding.

 

 

 

I'll still buy it though. I loved Fable, but didn't like Fable 2. Number 2 just ended as the story got good. I'll use the third as a decider, although I don't hold that much hope to be honest.

Yeah, i'm still going to make this a purchase. Loved the 2nd, completed it 3 times to get all 3 endings (even though i did the glitch to get the 3 on 1 play-through).

 

Just as long as it isn't made too simple, then i should be ok with this.

Bumpage.

 

I've been watching some of the developer diaries on XBL, and it's more and more making me wish to play this sooner. Release is October this year, anyone else got this pre-ordered.

Wonder if Lionhead will release something similar to "Pub Games" as a freebee for all pre-orders.

It will be interesting what arcade game they have planned, and if it will be interactive into Fable III like Pub games was with Fable II

It looks like a trailer for a Dreamworks film inspired by Ratatouille (until the end).

I'm sparing myself the opening, don't want to spoil it.

 

Lionhead and Microsoft have released a "Villager Creator", and if you have a pre-order code you can add your created villager to the actual game. Apparantly, the villager comes with a quest and 1,000 gold. No word as of yet if the UK pre-orders will allow this to occur

UK gamers now have access to the Fable III villager maker, according to Lionhead (confirmed at the Gamecon venue i believe). Should be interesting, even has 2 other pieces of pre-order stuff for both the Limited and Standard editions, being a Tatoo and a new Weapon (large hammer of sorts).

 

Anyone else see the Gamecon piece on Fable yesterday??, even though it was only 10 minutes it was informative i thought.

The Fable 2 Pub Games glitch was great, getting to start the game with a lot of money :)

Glad I didn't, would have made an easy game ever so much easier.

There is a mobile app coming October 1st, for Smartphones.

 

Basically it is along the lines of "Pub Games", make money and transfer over to the main game.

 

(i'm surprised there isn't much chatter on this (the game in general))

Haha, excellent. Liking the "Predator" styled achievement as well. As always, Lionhead have a sense of humour.

 

I see i shall be spending a lot of time in Albion/Aurora. And this time around, i will attempt a 100% completion (unlike Fable II)

 

Edit: Just seen the "Trading" achievement. Crap, just as long as it isn't 1 per game.

It seems that the "Pub Games" for this Fable is a mobile game. It's a real-location game (i.e. using the gps on your phone to "claim" land) and will only be available in Europe.

 

Android version is out sometime today. iPhone version in a couple of days and a Windows Phone 7 version will be out when the Windows Phone 7 is out.

 

I don't know if it'll cost anything, but I'll give it a try.

Didn't they say there were going to be repercussions for those that used the glitch, though?

 

I still haven't actually finished Fable II.

 

Still want this though. Shame about the smartphone app, as I'm barely rocking polyphonics, so meh.
