Bluepoint Games is the studio behind what is arguably the PlayStation 5's crown jewel at launch, the highly-rated Demon's Souls remake. Bluepoint has made a name for itself as one of the best studios when it comes to remastering and remaking games, having done so in the past with a number of other PlayStation titles. One of Bluepoint's most-celebrated works is the Shadow of the Colossus remake, breathing new life into the PS2 classic by dramatically improving the visuals. Shadow of the Colossus has been given away as a free PS Plus game in the past, but for those that missed out on the opportunity, it would be nice to see it added to the PS Plus Collection on PS5 as w

For whatever reason, Syanna and Geralt are both able to be physically damaged and hurt by the enemies that appear in this realm, which brings to light questions about how this is possible despite the fact that they aren't actually real and could actually be considered to be illusions, similar to the re

Of course, Fable 2 Recompile should also bring back the high level of customizability that the series is known for. In previous titles, players have been able to fully customize their heroes in a variety of ways including their clothing, hair, gender, tattoos, and even their height and weight. Fable will have to keep the same level of personalization or even increase it otherwise it just won't feel like it is part of the series at all. With Fable using the powerful ForzaTech engine , it will be interesting to see how much the customization translates or if there will be even more options for players to take choose f

From major plot points to the plethora of side quests to customizing your quirky character, Fable encourages you to take the game one step at a time. In big RPGs like Fable ( the reboot is going to be something very special when it finally arrives ), the wealth of things to do can often be overwhelming at first. There is typically an inherent pressure to move the story forward. Don't be afraid, then, to step off the beaten path in order to experience this adventure the way you see

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

It is also the single best implementation of cause-and-effect relationships I have ever seen in a game. A lot of this has to do with the Pratchett-esque liveliness of the characters, but it can at least partially be attributed to how ambitious its long-term consequences are, too. You’re given a year to raise the arbitrary sum of 6.5 million gold, and you can do this by selling out allies, refusing to build hospitals, or working as a legitimate business owner in a cutthroat early capitalist industrial regime. No matter what you do, you’re going to be bitten in the arse somehow, which is always refreshingly real in the most tongue-in-cheek way possible.

That’s the thing — I love the Fable dog, and I love the art. I love the devil horns and the tricksy little gnomes. But I don’t think Fable 2 was like Fable, so I’m not sure why so many people were annoyed about Fable 3 not being Fable 2: Again. That’s why I was annoyed, as well as pretty much anybody I asked about it. But in hindsight, it makes very little sense to me — I would hope that the new Fable game in development isn’t just a rehash of Fable 2. I’d hope that it takes a lot of its lessons — for better and for worse — from Fable 3.

There's a message board inside of the Land of a Thousand Fables that resemble the message boards that can be found in the real world very closely. The fact that this message board is so similar in size and shape to the one found in the main game doesn't make a lot of se

In Fable, the player's choice of food and drink will affect their character. Many games let you eat 100 sweet rolls or 400 potatoes without any of those silly health ramifications that we find in the real world. In this title, should you consume too many sweets or drink too many beers, your character will often get s

Fans were disappointed that the new Fable game did not make an appearance at E3 2021, though the game is confirmed to be in development at Playground Games. Little is known about the new Fable beyond its existence. Rumors and leaks have suggested that it will be a fully open-world title, but the only official look that fans have gotten is its official teaser trai

Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc
