It is disappointing for fans that Fable did not make an appearance at this year's E3 , but hopefully, fans will receive some official news soon. There are a lot of questions surrounding the mysterious new revival of the series and it is under tremendous pressure to bring Fable back in a big way for modern audiences. The team at Playground Games is immensely talented, however, and definitely has the ability to deliver something great for fans and new players al

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.

For some reason, Genshin has me constantly wondering about the new Fable game that Playground Games is working on. We know barely anything about this, mind. All of the good stuff appears to be locked behind a big fat Demon Door. One thing we do know, though, is that loads of people reckoned it was going to be an MMO. This was quickly debunked by Xbox insider Klobrille back in July, which is fair enough. New Fable’s not an MMO. We get the pict

The Wreckager comes in at a measly 65 damage, which is a significant amount lower than its master-tier counterpart. Its super awesome abilities make up for its lackluster damage, due to the hilarious interactions of townsfolk when they witness the hero brandishing the weapon, not to mention the extra gold is nice bene

There was nothing quite like getting together with your mates and farting in some uppity noble’s face. Let’s have our dogs antagonize everyone in the village while we taunt them from afar. I loved growing great big demon horns and knocking about Bowerstone with people cowering in fear, not because I was especially dangerous or murdery, but because they knew I was going to be as rude as humanly possible before revelling in their misfortune and legging it off to ruin someone else’s

This was entirely intentional on Bungie's part and worked very well with what the expansion was trying to do. That makes this a rare major spoiler that fans weren't upset about. Still, killing off one of the best characters in the game didn't go down well with s

Honestly, I called Fable 3 shite after I finished it at 14, despite voluntarily pumping about 50 hours into it. "This is so bad, I’m going to keep playing it. I hate this game, no I can’t go to bed yet." I think there was always something drawing me to it, no matter how much I tried to dislike it for not picking up from directly where Fable 2 left off and featuring all of the exact same characters. And now, ten years later — I just wish more people talked about it, because I still think people have yet to fully appreciate how genuinely ambitious it all was.

However, if you’re one of the readers who knows all about Fables but nothing about Batman? I’m not sure such a creature exists, but if you do, I’ve tried my best to make the essential Batman as understandable as can be. We’ll see if I’ve succee

Aesthetically, the Axe of Disharmony is one of the coolest looking legendary weapons in Fable II. Inspired by the classical shaped Gibson Flying V, the Axe of Disharmony lets out a cacophony of guitar noises as the hero disposes of enemies. This radical, guitar looking axe does the highest damage out of the melee weapons in the game at 99 and has an empty augment slot to outfit as the player plea

Outfitting the Axe of Disharmony with the Luck and Life Augment is an absolutely nasty combo that turns the hero into a life-stealing tank, whilst doing an unruly amount of damage to anything in their p

I’m not sure if this counts as a relaunch. I guess that’s up to readers, who always hold all the power. If readers take to this story as well as they supported Fables in the past, we might just be able to continue the numbering indefinitely, with more to come after this twelve-issue s

Every fan of Hideo Kojima has become accustomed to his weird and sometimes wonderful ways. This is especially true when it comes to what some consider his magnum opus series: Metal Gear Solid. However, the release trailers for Phantom Pain definitely took the cake for the most major scenes jammed into a small win

Fable 3 is ten years old today. It’s not as good as Fable or Fable 2 — if you’ve read this far, you’ll know that isn’t the argument I’m making. The argument is that Fable 3 is an oddly unique game. Ten years later, personalized gaming experience I’ve yet to see anything remotely like it, and I think you’d be hard pressed to find something that is more unanimously ambitious than it is. Yes, there have been more impressive art styles. Yes, I’m sure another game has a far better skill system. But as a whole, nobody ever told the people making Fable 3 that actually, what they were doing was a bit too much. Actually, maybe more is not better. Actually, we can have property management and an entire monarch simulator lapped onto the end of an industrial revolution/medieval fantasy hybrid RPG, but come on. Do we really need full animations for baking pies and dog tricks? "Of course we do," came Lionhead’s resounding response in my imagination. "Otherwise it wouldn’t be Fable."
