Inside Look: Fable |
by Elizabeth 10/6/2003 |
 |
 |
Fable is a ground-breaking role-playing adventure game from Peter Molyneux, in which your every action determines your skills, appearance, and reputation.
Create your life story from childhood to death. Grow from an inexperienced adolescent into the most powerful being in the world. Choose the path of righteousness or dedicate your life to evil.
Muscles expand with each feat of strength; force of will increases with each work of wit. Obesity follows gluttony, skin tans with exposure to sunlight and bleaches bone-white by moonlight.
Earn scars in battle and lines of experience with age. Each person you aid, each flower you crush, each creature you slay, will change this world forever.
Fable: Who will you be?

Forge a hero based on your actions: Age and evolve a hero or villain through the actions you choose and the path you follow—be it for good, evil, or in-between. Ply the way of the sword, and see your muscles bulge. Weave the dark arts, and witness power crackle at your fingertips. Skulk in the shadows, and watch your skin bleach.
Engage in intense real-time combat: Collect battle scars as you duel with a world of cunning foes and deadly creatures. Master an array of deadly weaponry as you hone the art of blade-craft. Hunt your quarry using subterfuge and stealth. Weave death from the elements, as you harness the dark arts of the arcane.

Build your living legend: Through deeds and actions, build a name for yourself across the land. Recruit allies and followers. Gain glory or notoriety. Make friends and enemies. Interact with a living world of people, places, and event all reactive to you. Hero or butcher? Who will you be?
Explore and shape a living, evolving world: Champion or manipulate an ever-changing land with competitive and cooperative heroes, dynamic weather systems, and deformable environments. Interact with teeming cultures, creatures, and citizens from various towns and cities.
Hone your character with scores of unique skills and extras: Master new abilities and add possessions as you develop.
Never play the same game twice: Once you finish your adventure, go back and try the experience again, forging your character and thereby a new tale with unexpected twists and turns, new skills, powers, influences, allies and enemies.

I was so disappointed to read they downgraded the graphics. These aren´t shabby, mind you, but not as revolutionary as before. I just hope Molyneux pulls this off. Black and White was a disappointing game in all aspects (esp. after all the BS hype he put out beforehand on the "revolutionary" gameworld AI).

2 words.... Hell... Yeah!!!
If it were only on Live. :: sigh ::
But, alas... that sets up PERFECT for Fable 2! >8)
In the long line of MUST-HAVES over the next 6 months, this is most definitely near the top of my list! You mean I get to not only carry a claymore that´s taller than me... but, I get to shoot lightning and fireballs from my fingertips, too??? Suweeeeeet. >8)

I´ll pick it up, but What´s really going to disapoint me is the fact I cant choose to be a female char. Its not Like I want to play throught the same game again wif the same character. I would like to play wif a female and then wif a Male. But thats just me. When it was @!*% being spoke of they said it would have a female character now you can fine no mention of it. *sighs*
And get off the xlive you pricks. Sheesh I´ll hate to have to play everything online.

i think someone said this game won´t be out until 2005, b/c the game is so vast and needs to be rid free of bugs (unlike KOTOR). I really hope it comes out in 2004 though, that´d be so tight

I DOWNLOADED A 65MB FILE(AT GAMERSHELL) WITH SOME FOOTAGE OF AN INTERVIEW FROM PETER MOLYNEAU(AND SOME GAMEPLAY) MADE FROM THE RECENT G3 SHOW, HE SAID THE GAME IS 75% ASSEMBLED AND ALL THE SEPARATE PARTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, HE ALSO SAID HE´S HAVING THE GAME EXTENSIVELY PLAY TESTED TO INSURE THE PLAYER CANNOT CREATE ANY "ABSURD, AND UNRESOLVABLE" SITUATIONS.
YOU WOULDN´T BELIEVE BY LOOKING AT THE CHUNKY GRAFFICS HOW SMOOTH AND SWEET THE GAME LOOKS IN MOTION,...BEAUTIFUL, MAGNIFICENT,..GORGEOUS,.. AND EXQUISTITE ARE WORDS THAT COME TO MIND.... DON´T WORRY... THE WAIT WILL BE WORTH IT.

Good point Nabeshin, but this is not a review.
The little bars next to, Graphics : Sound : Playability : Overall : are not lit up.
They should of posted this in the regular forums not in the review section.

Hey hardwire , I am not an LIVE only gamer ... YOU DICKHEAD !!! I have plenty of non LIVE titles as well , I just prefer to play online . But for your information you punkass little whining bitch , almost every game that is coming out will be LIVE enabled (Splinter Cell Pandora´s Tomorrow , HALO 2 , DOA ONLINE to name a few that originally were not) You better quit being so cheap and get rid of dial-up !!! Online gaming was/is Microsoft´s vision with the XBOX and LIVE . If you don´t like online gaming go buy a Gamecube and play with YOURSELF !!!

i think it´s all been said how amazing this game looks. however my concern is in the game play not the graphics. the grphics hold on their own. and what about the story since it´s unscripted, wow this beter be some killer AI.

The number one thing I want to do in this game is form my own posse and play co-op(co-op is confirmmed ,can take your character and load him onto someone elses file with a memory card and go from there) so I can fight my friend and his posse,we´ll have gang wars or we could form one big posse then we´ll travel from town to town making people pay us not to kill them and eventualy we´ll start raiding castles(and tripping little kids,can´t forget that).

Hmmm... and I suppose taking their milk money and stealing their baseball cards, only to throw them in a river or campfire is also on the agenda of your.. ahem.. "Grade-school Gangstas", eh scarfaceass?
Once a punk, always a punk, I suppose. pfft!
Looks like MY band of White Knights already have some work lining up for us. Oh, wait... it´s not on Live. DAMMIT!
How much would THAT rock, tho?? You got your evil-doers... we´ve got our do-gooders....... um... then we meet in the sandlot for one final battle. Y´know.... like in The Outsiders. LOL!
Ahhhhhh.... maybe... JUST maybe... Fable 2. >8)

114 and counting Xbox games. I think GI is a crap mag, very biased, and now trying to get in good with XBOX fans. The top 30 console games they ran was completely off the mark. GI is the same mag that gave STATE OF EMERGENCY a 9.0 for the ps2. It came out on the XBOX and it was like a 7.0. That game deserves a 6.0 at best. You also notice that the two reviews are never drastically different, they are always a half a point between each other. It is a piece of garbage magazine and I only get it cause the boys at Gamestop give it away for 10 bucks. They suck, plain and simple.

OMG, This game is friggin awesome! I havent even plyed it yet and i think so, so those of you who say: "well, it isnt out yet" and "it might suck" need to think about this: could a game that allows you to do so much and have so much freedom suck? lets think about that................HECK NO! Its gonna be possibly the best game ever and i cant wait till it comes out!
