The Far Cry series has had many leaks over the years such as the game awards trailer leak. But those kinds of information breaches might be the best kind of leak. It draws in long-time fans who might have grown disillusioned with the franchise. Of course, for players who haven't caught up on their Far Cry, it could ruin surprises in the st
Maybe it’s just me. I enjoy playing Final Fantasy 14 the odd time and liked Runescape when I was a kid, but aside from that I’m not a big MMO guy. Fable, though... Fable’s different. I remember spending entire days with friends just traipsing around Albion in split-screen, causing as mighty a ruckus as humanly possible. It’s probably the most enthusiastic I’ve ever been about playing a game, at least in terms of actively responding to it — laughing, shouting at the screen, calling NPCs names befitting their animated and imbecilic selves. I think having at least some online elements — preferably the exact ones I assigned to Genshin above — would allow us to really tap into that same experiential nostalgia that made Fable what it was. I don’t want loads of fetch quests tied to MMO grinding — which Genshin has lots of, but fortunately doesn’t force you into — or to have some leech come up and steal my loot after taking down a massive dragon lad or whatever. But I do want to be able to share the experience of playing Fable with other people, because that’s always what made Fable special, and different from other games. It just gave you and whoever you were playing with this mutual, magical sense of joy. Regardless of what Playground does with Albion, gnomes, and Reaver — _ please _ bring Reaver back — I reckon I’ll be delighted with the new Fable game once it lets me play through the story like the previous ones without locking me out of its unique form of co-op delinquency and debauch
One of the best moments in the game is the surprise dark moment at the very beginning of the game. Joel loses his daughter, an event that sets him on his nihilistic path. However, the trailer takes this moment away from new players as it shows off the improved graphics for the shiny new
Stand users - those who can harness the abilities of mysterious personified psychic entities - are attracted to one another, and are certainly not limited to those friendly with the Joestar family. So, it’s about time that we are finally seeing More Tips from this odd world of hostile psychic beings that isn’t related to a tiny cast of characters and their extended relations. Kishibe Rohan’s absurd antics make for a good way to tell those stories - and that brings me to the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, which is everything I wanted from a JoJo spin-
Just like Aesop’s Fables, this short, self-contained story has a powerful message, but one that Aesop could never have predicted in a world ravaged by global capitalism. The powerful abuse others, the powerful feel no empathy, and the powerful will use those around them to get what they want, even at the cost of their own happiness. But ultimately, no matter what, the powerful do not feel the brunt of their curse. They do not have to face the consequences of their actions. They just let those around them do it for them, and keep walking forward, living their life. As the man rises from the confessional booth and leaves the church we see the headless servant, bearing the man’s old face, crawl behind him, alongside the homeless man from years before, while the corn magnate himself strolls out, unscathed, with a face that isn’t even his
I’ve been a diehard Fable head for years. I even wrote an ode to the much-loathed but actually-very-interesting Fable 3 a couple of weeks ago. I know Fable 3 was weak in loads of ways, but it experimented with some weird shit, and I can respect that. Plus we’ve always got Fable 2 as a bonafide Perfect Game, so I don’t mind if Fable 3 isn’t the most replayable experience ever designed. Anyway, I digress — Fable 2 co-op was brilliant, wasn’t
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
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
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
