This is not a game that I would have expected Jeff to be into.

I'm totally fine with being wrong on that.
It was also Vinny and he likes good things. I don't know how some of the other staffers would have enjoyed it but I suppose they wouldn't have quick looked it then!
For some reason the game is very finicky and I've only been able to make it run on 2 separate sessions, but I found it pretty fun both of the times I actually managed to play it.

EA should rename Bioware to Bioware Bioware. For consistency.

Is it just me or has the video quality been pretty shit for the last week or so? Audio is all over the place, as well. Some videos are super loud, others are really quiet.
Yeah I think so too.
Oh, you were talking about the technical quality of the videos weren't you? Never mind then.

Quick Look: Fable Heroes (20:55) (Jeff Gerstmann of GiantBomb.com and guys)
It has the Fable name, chances are high that it sucks.
I wonder if someone emailed Jeff and urged him to stop saying "you guys". Seems to have worked like a charm.
It's not a typical Fable game, though. Fable Coin golf is great for example.

Haha, cold blooded.
Gameplay looks a bit boring but I like the graphics. Some of the outline mechanics like the boardgame stuff seems kinda neat too.
Might get it on a sale somewhere down the road.

I love the art style/setting and music and goofy charm of Fable, it's just a shame they can't make a good game out of it.
I thought all of them have been pretty fun RPG's. Fable 3 was pretty decent too until the ending 'how much gold do you have to save the world' deal.
The games certainly don't have super hardcore combat nor do they have multiple dialog choices ala Mass Effect/Witcher but they provided a pretty cohesive and entertaining world to explore.

Looks like babby's first brawler/shit/a million other games.
Also framerate issues with graphics like that are really embarrassing (assuming it's not the video).

Seeing this made me realize that an HD remake of Herc's Adventure would be incredible if done right.

Loved the silence when Brad admitted he played Fable 3 PC for achievements. He deserved the contempt.

I really don't understand the reaction to that game. Not that it doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look any different to me than Lego games, and those get much better reception. What makes this one so bad when the other got a pass? Is it just because Fable doesn't have the same cachet of Star Wars or Harry Potter?
I also thought of the Lego games while watching this, but I find those quite charming, while Fable Heroes just made me want to punch myself.
I can't really explain it to be honest, but I don't want to spend any more time analyzing this game than I have to.

I quite like the game, too. I can see why he's into it.
Sorry for the incorrect English pronunciation.

Quick Look: Hybrid Beta (20:07) (Brad/Ryan)
Brad sets a new record by dying 19 seconds into the video.

This game looks way cooler than I thought it would be. Now I'm little bummed out that I didn't even try to get into the Beta.

People other than me know that game exists? Wow.
Fable games continue to be quite bad because really terrible combat design. Now they are making a game which is basically entirely combat, I have to wonder if even the fans of the series will still like it.
EDIT: I don't give lego games a pass, btw.

You're a true gentleman. Thanks a lot!
I have only now realized that this a Xbox exclusive, though. So that code is still unredeemed and I'm bummed out again.
Hybrid seems like it wouldn't be fun to me.
It takes all the things I hate about current chest high wall simulators, gives me a jetpack, and doesn't allow me to use it.
Multiple instances in that video was just both guys hiding behind a wall waiting for the other guy to pop their head out so they could pop their head out and shoot first.

I already begged Jackson a good while back about a PC version and I'm pretty sure he gave the standard "never say never" talk, so wait until 6 months after release.

Wow, Hybrid actually looks pretty impressive.
Gamespot beta keys aren't working? Damn...

That doesn't really seem to be innovative, just restrictive for the sake of difference. Like they said, the maps don't take advantage of what limiting movement does.
Look at Shattered Horizon for a glimpse at an awesome take on multiplayer shooters. Sadly not many people did. I wonder how it would have done on console.
edit: Oh and 3v3 is too small.

I got mine to work today.
So now what? What am I supposed to look at on GameSpot?
The music has kind of a Banjo Kazooie feel too.
Fable Heroes looked a lot like Disney Universe. I.E. A really shitty clone of the lego games

Yeah, me too. Downloading it on my US account seemed to work.

A Vita version would own. For some reason I originally thought it was a title for that system over XBLA.

Dang it, I wish nobody had ever pointed out how much time Ryan spend in menus at the start of these things.
