Ok, this is a marked improvement over the first trailer and the gameplay segments looked good.

Fuck me though if they couldn’t have made an uglier female MC if they tried.

 

[MujkicHaris]

She looks perfectly fine in these two pictures ....

She looks AI generated. No traces of design and thought.

 

[Labadal]

I want to believe. Cautiously pessimistic for now, with room for optimism.

 

[Jormatar]

Graphically looks great but the actual dialogue and humor alongside the main character design is such a disaster lol.

 

[tmlDan]

I don't think you guys understand how excited me and my Mrs are for this!

thats all that matters, ignore the negativity

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

The game looks impressive visually but is too far removed from what Fable was originally. Also, I just don’t get the fixed female protagonist angle. Fable was great because you started as a boy that would age through the course of the game. To nonchalantly toss that aside feels like a huge downgrade to me. To the point that the game is approaching generic fantasy and not actually Fable.

 

[makaveli60]

This also looked nextgen, like Expedition 33

 

[xrnzaaas]

I think she looks more like the freckled actress from Arrested Development.

At least she had good assets, that's a free pass.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

All I want is:
- eating pies to make my character morbidly obese
- characters who insult me for being a disgusting fatty, and then I beat them to death and fart on their corpses
- ability to have husbandos in different area codes

 

[IAmNotFromDelaware]

This looks really good.

Maybe I'm crazy, but she looked like a completely normal-looking person, not even ugly. I'm honestly baffled by what some are even whining about.

She looks funny but the Fable is funny so I don't really get the hate. Maybe some folks have never played Fable and they think its supposed to be some beautiful super good looking hero. You know, a good looking hero that kicks chickens and turns orphanages into brothels.

So yeah, I don't get the hate. And this coming from an individual who thinks Sweet Baby is a cancer that one day will cease to exist.

 

[Esppiral]

Looks like an average person, and I am fine with that. I am tired of super models (man or woman) in everything media.

 

[manfestival]

Game appears to be pretty solid so far

 

[Fake]

Yikes.

 

[YCoCg]

 

[Markio128]

The visuals look nice for sure, but god knows what the game will play like.

 

[semiconscious]

y'know, if i was genuinely interested in the series, this certainly wouldn't particularly bother me...

afa fable, unfortunately, when i finally got to play/try a whole bunch of Xbox exclusives 2+ years ago, i think that the fable series was about my biggest disappointment. the tireless, relentless 'wink & a nod' humor, along with the clunky gameplay, just eventually wore me out. so it goes...

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Well, that’s a whole lot of not gameplay. Did this go through some development hell or something?

 

[West Texas CEO]

what the game will play like.

ASS

 

[Oddvintagechap]

this place is full of incels at this point who have never seen a woman in real life. Im all for thinking forcing DEI is a bad thing, but jesus christ its just a woman

they need help.

 

[Madflavor]

This looks really good.

Maybe I'm crazy, but she looked like a completely normal-looking person, not even ugly. I'm honestly baffled by what some are even whining about.

You're not crazy. She looks better in this trailer, not as off putting as the last one. I'm not sure what they did this time around but they did something to improve the model.

 

[adamsapple]

The visuals look nice for sure, but god knows what the game will play like.

Most probably like an OTS hack and slasher with some magic.

 

[Fake]

So, where is the gameplay?

 

[Kuranghi]

And those people exist in the real world.

Of course, I see women that look like this all the time in Scotland.

 

[MadViking]

She looks a lot better in the new trailer compared to the previous one. Now she actually looks like a woman which is a great progress I guess.

 

[Markio128]

Most probably like an OTS hack and slasher with some magic.

 

[Killer8]

"Playground, there has been too much negativity, too many Youtube downvotes. None here are without sin. Just show the character customization already and we can all look forward to the game."

 

[Quantum253]

So…Everything is 2025

When I seen a lot of the release dates, it made me think how everyone keeps saying next year is the year of Xbox

 

[Wimbledon]

She looks cute

 

[Labadal]

She looks cute

 

[ungalo]

Technically stunning but i'm not really excited. Not a fan of the realistic art style, i feel like i'm looking at Hogwarts Legacy.

 

[KAOS]

Enjoyed it but I really hope you can create your own characters like previous Fables!

 

[John Marston]

I'm a huge Fable fan and don't usually care for how a character looks but I'm seriously considering skipping this.

She looks dirty & what appears to be a moustache.

 

[DeepEnigma]

And smells of piss & vinegar! Hoy! Hoy!

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

The unfortunate thing is again, the faux controversy is over what the girl looks like and not the fact that there was barely any actual gameplay shown or the fact that if you didn't tell me said "gameplay" was Fable I would not have guessed we were watching Fable. "Let's have some quirky English voice over narration" doesn't equate to what Fable is. At the end of the day I don't give a shit what the main character looks like, male or female, if the game nails the important things.

 

[lughnasadh123]

I do love the 'what we do in the shadows' vibe of it.

 

[RavageX]

Not seeing the reason character creation is not in this game. I'm not bothered by the character, but in an RPG I like options especially if the previous games had such a thing. Also I didn't really see any "gameplay".

 

[digoutyoursoul]

No Chickens in this trailer:-(

 

[marjo]

She makes Aloy look hot dude



Neither do I.

She showed more personality in that 2 minute trailer than Aloy has in 2 games. That's what actually matters.

 

[Gravemind]

Looks incredible. Still hoping there is a character creator because I'm not a giant fan of the apparent protagonist but its not a deal breaker for me if there's not.

 

[David Ricardo]

You're not crazy. She looks better in this trailer, not as off putting as the last one. I'm not sure what they did this time around but they did something to improve the model.

I noticed right away that they have deuglified her compared to the previous trailer

 

[DeepEnigma]

She showed more personality in that 2 minute trailer than Aloy has in 2 games. That's what actually matters.

Not gameplay? I thought gameplay matters?

 

[SHA]

Now she's a nice person.

 

[Topher]

She showed more personality in that 2 minute trailer than Aloy has in 2 games. That's what actually matters.

Giving the character a great personality is probably a lot harder than making her look attractive. Thing is I'm pretty sure Playground Games could do both if they wanted to.

 

[Darsxx82]

The gameplay secuence in the the Village is NextGen. Forza Engine, It shows a lot of versatility. Forza Horizon 6 is sure to benefit from the engine advancements in Fable

 

[Negotiator101]

Graphics are tremendous technically and artistically. The Fable humour is bang on as well, could be very special.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

 

[Moochi]

Looks really solid. I'd rather make my own protagonist--I think that's a key part of the Fable experience that they're missing--but the graphics, story, music are great.

 

[apocaliptic]

This looks really good.

Maybe I'm crazy, but she looked like a completely normal-looking person, not even ugly. I'm honestly baffled by what some are even whining about.

By american standards she is beautiful

 

[BlackTron]

I never thought her design was a big deal, just kinda funny, because I didn't realize she was the main character.

What

 

[Bartski]

In-game graphics look like I'd imagine this gen really should, very nice light work. I never played any of the previous Fable games and I somehow doubt this game will be for me but I'd like to see extended gameplay
