Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 This had been the most anticipated game for me (other than Halo 2 of course) ever since I heard about it. I'm sure you have all read about it but I am going to explain anyway. It's basically your do anything and everything game, you fight alot you grow big and strong, you go stealth and stay out of the sunlight you grow skinny and pale. You can even get tattoo's, scars and have children or even bulid a house. All i'm saying is that if you havent read about this game you really need to look in to it, it looks very very promising.:toothy:
Tommy Vercetti Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 This does look a very promising game i agree and the graphics look especially cool does anyone know when this will be released in the Uk? Is it a RPG based game or am i thinking of a different one because i am sure it is and i am sort of getting into RPG's slightly more as they are becoming improved all the time in my oppinion.
Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I 'm sure you are thinking of the right one. I have no idea when it's going to come out the Uk but I will look.:D You know you can become werewolf in it also.:devil:
BigCajones Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 [color=teal]Well Vercetti at the moment it looks like Fable will be hitting the stores over here in England sometime in July. This game amazes me more every review I read. I really like the idea of growing up and older in this game. You start at age 15 and finish at age 45. It is pretty original and also every action has a reaction in Fable. From tanning your body, because you stayed in the sun too long, to morphing your body by having a big weapon (you get big muscles and get stronger :) )! It just really does sound such a good game even if your not the biggest RPG fan i.e me. :excited:[/color]
Bing Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]I agree Cajones. I'm not a huge RPG gamer, but I have played a few in my time. This game attracts me, because I think it will be long, and worth the £40 I am going to have to pay for it. Can I ask, what is the main aim of the game?[/color][/size]
Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 So far as I can tell Alexus, is that is not really any point. I'm sure there will be something but so far it sounds like the point of the game is whatever you make it.:babble:
Bing Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]Well, I guess that's a pretty pointless game then. Like The Sims, this will become boring and repetitive. A game without an aim, is like an 18 storey building without any stairs. So, the game is what you want it to be eh? What can you make it be?[/color][/size]
Tommy Vercetti Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I suppose with these types of games you would need to use your imagination like with the sims you create your own story and choose what you want to happen which can be very hard for some people to use there imagination. I think with this game there will be a story in it and won't be anything like the sims. In a review it said your mother and sister or something have been captured so perhaps you have to rescue them which could be the story.
Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Dont look down on it because there are no objectives. Thats what I read about it along time ago, there has been numerous changes since then and even if there arent any it's a huge game anyway with huge enviroments to explore.
BigCajones Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 [color=red]What? That's nonsense, every game has to have an objective/storyline to it or well it wouldn't be a game. If you had to stand still and do nothing then that's still an objective. I think Vercetti is on to the plot of this game when saying it starts after the kidnapping. The obvious solution seems to be you have to retrieve your family back, but heck it's just a guess. The game is really yours to control though on terms of character development and also alternative endings. The more and more I read about this game it feels like a fable. Write your name on a tree and it will stay there unless chopped down, kill lots of towns people and they will automatically get scared of you whenever they see you, be friendly and help townspeople out alot and they will be nice back and play games of cards with you. Really anything you can think of this game is pretty realistic in graphics, sound and characteristics. The character ages so well by the way, but I think they need to clear up on the plot still as all I'm hearing are the actions that really do speak louder than words, when it alters this game. This game is also set for the PC by the way in 2004! :)[/color]
Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Also the towns people's kids will look up too you and get haircuts like yours. :wigout: So if you have a mullet the kids will get a mullet cut!! :laugh:
Charles Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Heh, I remember Peter Molyneux (sp?) claiming that this would be the greatest game of all time. Gosh, I wonder why he would say that about his own product. It seems ambitious enough to its credit though--perhaps too much so. I like some of the small touches and physical effects that have been touted continuously such as tanning and scarring. Plus, the development possibilities are intriguing. Being able to choose the path of evil sounds like fun. I just hope that the game's plot won't be too detached. I have a feeling that the final product will be a bit generic. But, I've heard that there will be scripted events to prevent that. Nonetheless, I'm not exactly anticipating this with bated breath.
Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 If you ever played Black & White you will see how much attention to detail his programing teams are. I think this game will not be dissapointing at all. So I am going to eagerly awaiting it with baited breath.:mrt:
Charles Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 I've played Black & White. I still own it. It's somewhere around here. Heh. The thing is--Black & White never captured my attention. It's only a matter of opinion, of course, but it didn't seem too outstanding. I'm sure that underneath the layers of dislike I had for the game there was something deep and rewarding, but I was never able to find such qualities. "Painfully average" comes to mind when I think about the experience I had with it.
Guest The_BE-BOP Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 I agree that the game wasnt very captivating but still the detail was there you cant deny that. The whole part about being to control a giant creature was the coolest too me.:whoops:
Guest Watinabe Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 Fable does sound interesting I mean a game where you can slaughter a bunch of chickens and be dubbed the chicken slayer sounds pretty funny and if you kill a little boy the father swears revenge hunting you down for the rest of the game, damn thats just interesting~_~ I cant wait to play this.
Tobiass Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Fable once known as Project Eco, is going to be HUGE. anyone here know about this game and interested in it?
hiachi Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 I love the way all your actions affect the way your character looks!
PsycoGoth Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Your freakin' right it's gonna be huge :D It's shaping up to be the ultimate RPG
Guest TriGunMaSta68 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Everyone! BE A BAD GUY FIRST, BAD=GOOD, IF YA NO WHAT I MEAN!!!!
Guess? Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 It looks great. X box needs more rpgs. they should of kept the name project ego... it sounds cooler.
Tobiass Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 yeah, but it just doesn't fit the game. Project ego sounds futuristic, but it's not. Fable fits the game much better.
Semjaza Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Picking it up ASAP is going to be a problem considering it was delayed until well into next year heh. Seems like they've been doing that with a lot of Xbox's bigger games lately.
Guest TriGunMaSta68 Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Yea no doubt, i probably heard about Fable(known as Project Ego of course back then) in 2000. It was supose to blow every game outta da waters(which it will) and would b out at the Xbox launch date November 14 or 22 i think? of 2002. Now, its being delayed until 2004? Its just like Zelda: The Ocorina of Time, which was delayed for 6 years!
noraa_boy Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 I'm too dumb and impatient for rpg's...but I'll definitely look into Fable once it comes out.
