Are you a PS owner? Is that why you are getting excited about such mediocrity?

.. No? Open world games existed prior to Fable.. some of which, like Morrowind, are much more open.

Like a certain (S)pEcIaL product?
(IIRC they said they had to cut most of that shit to fit the game in console memory or something)
*fingers crossed*

Well, this game has only gotten better looking since E3 2023 when the first gameplay trailer was revealed. The E3 2024 trailer looked even better. And this footage shows no downgrade.Hopefully it doesn't go down this road we've all been on before.
If it gets downgraded from here, it wont be anything major like the witcher 3 downgrade. If anything, they've been shown console footage so PCs will likely get some Path Traced options like Doom, Indy and Wukong.

Pre-alpha?? Does the pre-alpha stage now happen 5 years after the game is formally announced?

They do call it "pre-alpha" so this could be prior to what was shown, maybe.
FWIW, those W3 shots are from their "pre-alpha" before having to dump the entire renderer to fit lowly consoles. Then again, the argument could be even mid-range PCs could not produce it at a competent framerate back then either.
I do hope it looks that good in the final product, however. But something tells me that is a maxed out concept for a new machine or top of the line rig with hopefully very little scaling down. That S boat anchor, though.

How can we be sure they haven't been sitting on that pre-alpha footage for the past two to five years?

This is what I was thinking. Potentially they are out of alpha but chose to show footage from back when they were pre-alpha.

Oh look. Another Soul-less Souls-like. Devoid of color, humor, or fun. No worries though, this game can exist also along with Fable.

The YT ratio is not encouraging for the developers and marketers of this game.

Yeah, definitely not a console, I can tell you that much. Just like that Crimson Desert footage some posted earlier. Pretty sure it's running on a PC, because if it were on a console, half the trees would be on vacation.

Honestly, it does look too good to be true after what we've gotten this gen, but I expected this level of fidelity from top of the line studios like ND, Rockstar, and GG. Playground getting there on their first try at an action adventure game is surprising but they do have a lot of experience making open worlds.
Honestly, after ND and GG did this with 1.84 tflops GPUs, its not surprising to see graphics like this from a 10-12 tflops GPU thats roughly 7-8x more powerful after IPC gains. We are finally getting that next gen leap and its glorious.

Saddest thing is they can't even use Sony games cause since TLOU 2, they've just been releasing the same PS4 games with extra resolution on their sequels lmao

Not necessarily. Alpha is the first testing phase, i.e. the software might be mostly done but likely contains a lot of bugs and issues that need to be fixed, and some features might still be missing or just have placeholders. Pre-alpha is simply everything that comes before this. It doesn't have to mean development just started (although it could mean that), it might be almost finished except for the testing phases.
But different people have different definitions of this.

But it doesnt have to be like this, right? Especially nowadays you just give yrself (as a studio) a reason to be talked down into oblivion. Its just a super stupid move imho. It doesnt have to be a porno queen like Stellar Blade...just a nice looking girl.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
New game trailer came out and it looked cool. I think that's the important part.This turning into a warrior thread now?
- That's a sausage, not a hot dog.
- Sausage existed in medieval times.
- It's a fantasy game.

Looks like a hotdog to me. The game is looking good so far.

why betray the IP to satisfy idiots on social media?
I recently saw some people getting angry and calling the new Fable woke due to an interview, saying they are ruining Fable.
and it turned out that interview was from 20 years ago and about Fable 1.
these people are just as retarded at this point as the radical left, if not even more retarded tbh

They're called sausages, and have probably existed before written history. Homer mentions sausages in the Odyssey.

Great looking games with ugly women versus Chinese shovelware with beautiful women.
What a time to be alive as a gamer.

I dont know the lore of Fable...but is there any reason why the main protagonist NEEDS to look fugly? I mean why would you say it would be a betray?

There needs to a male character playable for me and a good chunk of the fable community to care about this. Fable was always about choosing your own destiny and being the hero you want to be, but how can i do that with a fixed character that can't be changed? They risk losing a chunk of their audience if they don't give people an option and for how expensive this game must've been to develop i doubt they can afford to not give players an option.

One thing is for sure, Playground knows how to deliver, first footage of Horizon 5 looked just alright but by final release they ended up making of the best looking games of the gen not just among racing or driving games but among all genres; assets and materials were not only high quality and dense but also extremely varied, for instance, among just the tropical trees there were like 9 distinct bark profiles/types with at least 2 variations of each ignoring the different mini biomes and their respective flora like dessert, swamp, canyon, city, jungle, etc. Then there's the architecture, soil types, road surface types, i can go on... and this was 4 years ago.

These threads often devolve into it, though.
Game looks visually impressive from Sony? Trash Xbox fans for not getting it.
Game looks visually impressive from Microsoft? Downplay it and bring up Sony games they think are better.
For console warring being prohibited, it's near impossible to get away from it in some capacity. Always ends the same...

And vice versa. I've seen these same scenarios played out every which way. Every side does it. Maybe that's what you meant.
I don't think it necessarily "prohibitied". Some folks just take it too far.

because Fable always had a very goofy, very british style and feel to it. characters looked goofy, they looked weird, they looked ugly at times, and often they also acted like assholes or acted goofy. especially in the very first game, most characters are ugly assholes.
the aesthetic of the series was never one where you'd expect to see attractive characters. good looking characters were the exception

Report on Fable reboot says it features Witcher-like combat, multiple protagonists
The combat of Playground Games' Fable is described as being Witcher-like according to a brand-new report. The title might feature character selection too.

He's asking about the protaganist. Not characters in general. I never played the first Fable, but the player's characters in Fable 2 were not ugly.
