Fable III
Release Date: Late 2010
Genre: Action RPG, Sandbox
Platform: Xbox 360
Developer: Lionhead Studios
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Official Site: TBA

 Courtesy of IGN.com: You play as the son or daughter of your Fable II hero. Albion has changed a bit since we last saw it, though all the details of this change aren't yet known. You don't begin Fable III as the ruler of Albion. Instead, you spend the first half of the game gaining support so that you might lay claim to the throne. This requires you to make campaign promises to people and different districts of Albion. Keeping those promises once you are in charge is going to be a whole different matter.

What's New:
- Gone are the silly expressions of Fable II.
 - Choice and consequence are still major elements of Fable III, though your choices will have far more dramatic effects on Albion.
- You control the spending across the land, choosing how much to tax each area, what to spend.
- You decide which parts of Albion thrive and which might suffer.
- You have the duties of a ruling dignitary, hosting important people from other lands.
- In Fable III, other countries will be involved in the story.
- Your family plays a bigger role in Fable III. Apparently the first big innovation in Fable III is having someone nag you. He or she will be helping you shape the land. It will be a tough task balancing tyranny and compassion, progress and tradition.
- Molyneux revealed two new gameplay mechanics being added to Fable III.
- The first is called Judgment. People will come to you in court and plead their case. You may be called on to settle disputes or rule on a man's guilt. To help judge people, you can go out and investigate.
- The second feature addition, called Touch. In Fable III, you have far more interactive options.

DAM. Late 2010 ? i have been waiting for this for 3-4 months already :(.. well seems like it should be worth the wait.. but.. cant..wait :cry2:
 
Sounds totally awesome. Thank you very much for posting! I love the idea of adding some strategy game elements to the Fable franchise. Personally I will be keeping those filthy plebs trampled under foot, and be as evil and corrupt as possible. That is the only true way to play Fable :devil:

Hopefully Lionhead will make the destinction between good and evil a bit more prevalent this time around. In Fable 2 I was a fat, demonic, genocidal maniac who sacrificed prostitutes in the temple of shadows at midnight, yet everyone seemed to love me because of my impeccable sense of fashion and my mad lute skillz. It just isn't right.

Good to hear! I really did enjoy the story line for the most part for Fable2. The game play could be a bit repetitive from time to time, but what do you expect with most dumbed down rpgs.

You have 4 different spells to choose from and the rest is just a hack and slash, I primarily got caught up in other aspects of the game. Such as doing the jobs and such. Also I loved doing real estate stuff, where i would buy up stuff, then up the rent on others...

So if Fable 3 can take the suggestions to heart from the reviewers I think this game will be a huge success.
 
A-ha! Intriguing. I'm curious to discover Teresa's influence in this installment considering the additional downloadable content of Fable 2. She definitely developed a sinister aura about herself.

Good to hear that some of the monotony is being squished with more intricate development and such - really looking forward to this now... though from now to late 2010 is one hell of a time to wait. Hopefully it'll live up to [realistic] expectation.
 
Fable III is going to be awesome by the looks of it but, judging from the past with Peter M. it won't be as great as he says. I am just excited to be a huge asshole of a king.
Can anyone say "Random Kingly Killing Sprees?"
 
Fable III is something I will probably not like to miss out on. It looks :awesome: Is it going to be like Fable II though? Cause from what I have seen every Fable gets better. Fable I was alright and Fable II was better but I have only seen some of it. I dont have Fable II bu I have seen the ending cause my friend beat it.

Well perhaps we'll finally get all things we were promised in Fable 1 :P And Random Kingly Killing Sprees does sound totally awesome. Especially if they include horses and henchmen this time around. Imagine riding into Oakfield with your soldiers and putting the torch to the place :devil:
 
Im VERY looking forward to this. Seen it on XBox live other day and I was almost screaming with joy lol. Im a HUGE Fable fan, have been for years and Ive always tried to get other people to like them and Ive succeded so far lol.

But the whole King and Queen idea I do love, specially with your child from Fable 2 being used. Very excited!
 
Anyone else seen the new E3 trailer yet? It looks pretty awesome.

I love how the Fable franchise keeps moving their timeline forward. A fantasy take on the french revolution is pretty interesting, and it definitely makes Albion seem a lot less derivative than what you usually get world-wise from western developers. My only complaint so far would be that just like the with Fable 2 the environments look absolutely fantastic, but the character models look a bit dated.
 
Yeah, the trailer looks good.

Too bad I don't have a Xbox 360 though :mokken:


I played Fable on the Xbox and I always wanted the second one but, I decided to get a PS3 instead of the 360.

Hmmm, idunno but, it looks awesome. =)
 
I cant fooking wait, getting me the special edition when I can. November 2010 is the UK release date, not sure about the rest of the globe. I cant wait, I love the Fable series.
 
It comes out on 10/26/10 here in NA. I am looking forward to it. I enjoyed the second game a lot so getting the third is a no brainer for me. I think I will make a good character this time and actually try to stay good for the whole game this time.

Not me. I'm probably just going to go about my usual priest-sacrificing, serial hooker killing ways. Just as a King this time around :D
 
I'm going to wait with this one and see what the general consensus on it is after it's been out for a bit. I'm doing my best to not even watch trailers or anything.

I was a fan of the first one, and so I followed stuff on Fable 2 pretty closely. Watched all the trailers, dev blogs, etc. Had it preordered and everything, and now I regret having it in my library of games since I never play it or feel the urge to play it anymore. It probably would've been a decent game, but because I was so hyped up for it, it turned out to be a huge disappointment for me. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened with Fable 3.
 
Going to pick this up for christmas. I love Fable and I mad eup my mind that I want to get the 3rd one. Fable I was much better than Fable II imho. I hope it is much longer than I and II

I think that in the case of Fable, 'less is more' really rings true. Sure it's not as massive in scope as the Elder Scrolls series for example, but I'd rather have 10 really good side quests than 100 that all feel the same.
 
I love fable. It's an overall great RPG. Fable 2was pretty linear and straight forward but I enjoyed it. I'm really looking forward to this one.
 
Fable 2 was just too short for all the extra side stuff like getting married and sidequests. I hope no. 3 is longer// a lot longer.
