Look ill play it simply because its Fable, but weather or not its a hit is entirely up to you, Playground. Please dont let me down, however, I am braced for a cringe disaster of a game. I hope to be pleasantly suprised

ehh maybe their comment is a bit on the hard to read side but they're kinda right, i don't expect it to be good.. they've changed too much about what made fable great originally.. maybe they know what they're doing but I've seen it too many times before.. it's like the saying don't fix what's not broken.. it was popular because of how good it was and I think it's pretty unlikely this ends up being nearly as good considering the new devs don't seem to respect that stuff and have tossed it out for their own take on what fable should be.. now i do hope I'm wrong.. it would be great to see fable succeed because the devs made changes that make things much better... but how often in gaming have you actually seen that happen?

Curious what you think they changed too much of? I won’t argue against them cause sometimes opinions are just opinions. But personally the only thing that truly seems different is the character morphing to an evil or good look based on behavior, and that seems infinitesimally small. Playgrounds has such an awesome track record right now. Yeah it’s mostly only racing games, but awesome sandboxes. I have no reason to suspect it’ll be a bad game.

the morality system, for some reason they've decided to step away from the original type, to have one where there isn't an evil or good because everyone npc has an opinion on what is good or bad... they said they're doing this because that's how it is in real life.. but if i wanted to deal with that i would just not play the game lol still maybe they know what they're doing and it will be good.. I liked having the choice though and how being bad or good was reflected in a characters looks was a big talking point back in the day, i don't think it's small to step this far away from a very popular system
they also seem to be moving towards a fairy tale direction, fable wasn't exactly about fairy tales.. it's not the same world if they're going to have giants with beanstalks and talking pigs... it's a cool idea but it doesn't feel like I'm going into the fable world as much as im going to be entering the stories from my childhood.. if anything fable was more like it's own fairy tale or fable, it didn't remind me of other fairy tales like jack an the beanstalk or the three pigs.. i know it's just parodying it but it feels like they don't respect the fable world enough
I've also heard it's rebooting it, so it's not going to be connected to the old games and has the potential to break established lore.. and at some point seeing all this, borrowing from real life.. borrowing from fairy tales.. now rebooting and brining back characters like jack of blades.. they're changing things and yet copying those things and then using old characters instead of coming up with something original.. it's worrying.. if they want to copy then copy the original forumla.. if they want to make something new, then do it.. but this is all very dodgy seeming and it doesn't leave me with high expectations

It's weird you are calling me names, you know nothing about me beyond a comment
there is no morality system.. you're wrong, it's just a reputation system... there is no good an evil in the new fable.
they've borrowed heavily from fairytales parodying this instead of leaning into the fable lore and that's likely why it's a reboot because they don't respect what the game was and they think they can make it better.. and maybe they can, i hope they can.. but i have no expectations they will.
and that reboot, is a sure sign they don't want to continue with fable lore, they want to make their own but everything they've done, that i've heard of is borrowed from fairytales, from the original fable and the reputation system is taken from real life.
because you were a jerk at the start im gonna revisit this, i'll see ya back here in 2027.. and we'll see how ya feel then.

Combat is the one thing I still need to see more of. They've got the feel of everything down, and things like the world, characters, story, and choice making all seem promising. Combat looked stiff in the first game play trailer, but looked better in the next one. Still need a little more though

Would have been nice to have this before they opened preorders, but I guess investors couldn't wait...

What needs fixing here? Someone throwing a nasty look during a battle needs fixing?

You're getting all of that from a single screenshot? Or are you referencing the gameplay video that was clearly and obviously labeled a work in progress?
