This is very welcome after the rather disappointing trailer. I mean....the characters.....fine I guess? But I think we all were hoping for a good look at gameplay.Press getting a demo and wednesday we'll have more gameplay

About to beat off
I get the feeling it won't have basically any of the systems from Fable and just be an action game in a medieval setting. Like the horns/halo. Changing how NPCs react to you. Etc.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
They've already said it doesn't have horns/halos but it does have an individual locale based reputation system. Every region will track your reputation separately, you won't be villainous everywhere just because you're in one.

They already confirmed last time that the alignment system won't change your appearance, so no halo/horns.

Well yeah, with the amount of women in the game, you can't have evil characters. Would not be surprised if that old fat male hero will be blamed for everything or will blame himself for that female evil hero actions.

LOL. Said it before on GAF many times.
I love how game makers are all about DEI and it's bad to stereotype characters and people etc...
Yet almost every time there's a Black person in a game you'll have them with shaved heads or giant poofy afro hair. Talk about discriminatory bigots.

That's the implication. Or maybe even halfway through the game. Her having her own 'hero's journey' is also a hint that she's probably Jack of Blades.
Jack of Blades could have won in the end depending on the player's choices in Fable 1.
That whole 'dual chosen ones' thing is what made it so cool.

LOL. Forgot about the Killmonger hair. Another beauty from media creatives.You forgot Option #3.
As an aside: love those odd looking fingers. Like AI made it years ago.

Looks very good, a nice variety of different environments in the trailer.
Is Atwell the antagonist of the game?
And he wasn't wrong there either.
If Hayley atwell is the antagonist, bet they nerfed her chest

lol this has major "dev team with no black people on it trying really hard not to impose western Euro-American beauty standards on their token black character" vibes.You forgot Option #3.

Well, not exactly a token. The lead character (essentially) was black. She was a non-playable story character.

I hope this game is like a 95 Metacritic and have all the Xbox players furious it isn't exclusive

How much do you think they paid Matt Smith to use his likeness?I have some news for you papi

I dont think Xbox gamers care that much about exclusives unlike Sony gamers.
Even oldies like Fable 1, Gears and Halo came to PC.

Xbox communicates with their fans in a way that makes it sound like they are their friends. For fans, this creates an attachment to the Xbox brand that is unlike anything else in gaming. Look at the amount of Xbox influencers compared to Playstation? Even tho Playstation has sold 3x as many consoles
Playstation doesn't do shit with fans. It is purely transactional. People like Playstation for their studios and games, less so the actual platform

Good lord, I want to dive face first into the Fables.

I can't be the only one noticing how several parts of this trailer (but also in previous showing earlier this year) the contrast isn't correct, or more like brightness is cranked up too high.
For example at 1:16 when you see the werewolf (Balverine, right?) it's too bright. Look at the foliage next to the Balverine and the shadow under it, it's grey instead of black. Same story with the tree there.
I notice it at 1:57 too. Might be a minor thing for some, but I hope they fix this.

This looks really great and I can't wait, and Xbox is finally getting exclusive back, and everything is right with the world.
Xbox audience has been great, Asha great, games great, looking great. X-Boxers, I count myself among you. My only qualm is you have to stop hating on games over the parity clause delay. Other than that, you're back on track to be traditional gamers. Now we just gotta get rid of Xbox game pass.

It's their vision for Fable, it was bound to be quite different since it's not Lionhead. Let's wait and see next Wednesday how it all looks. We're going to get a good proper look at it.
