If it is coming later you might as well polish and have it released as a launch cross gen title.

I have a feeling this may get cancelled along with State of Decay 3. Both have been nowhere to be found in terms of progress. Looks like MS is incapable of ruining their studios effectively and just fail over and over. Matt Booty is terrible and should have been sacked along with Phil long ago.

Pretty sure you were around back when he posted here. He was just a huge fanboy. Started an Xbox pod at some point and got into the xb fanboy->influencer pipeline like klobrille or crapgamer. Info is not reliable.

Just cancel it. Anything under Microsoft, just cancel it. If you've even had contact with Phil Spencer via text, get a new phone.

Thanks man, I appreciate the information. I probably was around when he was, but so many have come and gone that I can't keep track anymore -_-

Wasn't this originally announced like 10 years ago now
I'm sure it will be finished in 2035 if it's not cancelled first

Don't pay for the sub until the games you want come out. Easy solution.
Most of those games released in good shape so it's not all bad. I still remember there was massive concern trolling with those games because of xbox delays. Huge bet thread for GoW delay due to Redfall/Starfield delay. Yet GoW released and people lost that bet. Thread about Fable being a game that's a long way out (because they hadn't hired a writer and showed CGI) so xbox fans concern trolled another mirror thread about HFW being a long way out because Guerilla were hiring too. I wonder how those people feel now that it has been 3 more years since HFW's release. Will they actually self-reflect on all that concern trolling and accept those people were right?

It was around the summer of 2016 that it started to be rumored that Playground Games might be tackling a non-Forza, open-world game, which was then confirmed by 2017 and, later that year, Eurogamer reported that it was a Fable reboot that they were working on, with the game being first announced at the 2020 Xbox Games Studios Showcase and not shown in any real-time capacity until the 2023 Xbox Showcase -- seven years after it's inception, and two years later, it still hasn't come out.
What a shitshow.
of course its on ms, they cant manage shit.
even their car-game-studio wasted 7 years to release a broken car game.
same shit with flight sim, halo, all the cancellations.
getting out a polished product under these morons is the exception, which still wouldn't save you from layoffs and closures.

Protip Playground, if big Phil says he wants to come visit... say no.

Yeah no, the industry is fucked. AAA franchises are essentially dead at this point when you've got development cycles that are longer than an entire generation and most games end up being cancelled anyway.

And if you were there when they were dropping you would know the reception to them.
Fable 1 "well this didn't deliver anything close to the pitch, but it was basic and inoffensive. Makes us hyped for the sequel!" Charitable 8.5 because it showed gumption and had chickens.
Fable 2 "damn. still didn't deliver anything close to the pitch, but it was basic and inoffensive. Makes us hyped for the sequel!" Very charitable 9 because the graphics got better and the girls we hired could finish it without help.
Fable 3 "there's always next gen!" 7
XBone arrives. Peter Molyneux rebrands as Stephen Molyneux and becomes a center-right self-help guru. Xbox dies a sad death and pulls half the industry down with it. Fable IP kills the last functional studio they have. f in the chat

It's quite insane, just compare the games that both Microsoft and SIE announced on their respective console blowouts:
SIE; June 11, 2020:
Microsoft; July 23, 2020:
Microsoft and SIE both announced 9 games on their respective events, and SIE had already managed to release all of them 4 months before Microsoft even released its third title from that showcase. Microsoft also ended up cancelling one title from the list this year (Everwild), while there is still one game left to release (Fable).

This game is cooked. They were still hiring leadership positions at the beginning of this year.

The OG Xbox had a lifecycle of 4 years. The shortest of any Xbox.

And in those 4 years legendary games came out while you can take 10 years of the 360 and Xbone and have nothing but Kinect and TV.
