I repeat what I said in my last post: Playground don't have any experience making RPG games. I think it's really different to make a RPG game than making a racing game. But we'll see the true tomorrow.

I'm hoping that it feels like a first person PoE/BG and not just Obsidian's take on Skyrim. I'm sure I'll enjoy it either way.

The dude can't even spell properly and doesn't know the difference between the word who and is. I wouldn't take him to seriously.
People shouldn’t be hyped for Fable as it isn’t a big IP, but is also at the same time one of Microsoft’s biggest AAA games?

Neither did Guerilla Games when they made Horizon Zero Dawn. They never done a open world 3rd person rpg game. All they ever did was FPS. At the end of the day it's about the developer and not the genre that dictates success lol.

Let's wait for tomorrow. Just set up your expectations, guys. It's better be surprised than be dissapointed.Playground Games hires BioWare, EA Motive and Rocksteady talent for upcoming RPG

I'm not saying Playground will fail, I'm just saying: calm down. People always get too much excitement about those events and it NEVERS pay.

That's why I said like a first person PoE or Baldurs Gate. Something with strong DNA from those games around leveling and other systems. I love BGS games but really want to see a first person RPG with a more traditional mapping around classes and such instead of your character eventually just skilling up everything and becoming the jack of all trades.

It will be a blend of their core rpg with outer world.

My expectations is 0.
I don't judge from a gameplay until I play it.

Playground Games 2nd team is headed and staffed by RPG and third person action adventure experts, the 1st team is still a Forza Horizon team as far as we know.
They could have named the second studio Albion Games and maybe half the
They had a base from existing Playground staff since 2017, and started hiring industry veterans from early 2018. You really don’t need the full squad for the pre-production stage.
Add in the fact that the game’s being made with an engine they’re extremely proficient in and I’d be surprised if this wasn’t a 2024 release.
I vividly remember people being excited about Horizon Zero Dawn while Guerrilla did not have smidge of an experience with those type of games.
Sooooo?

Why wouldn't they show a 2025 game in this showcase? :S
And Starfield has been in development since 2015, by a big and established team, while Fable's team started exisiting in 2018, obviously Starfield will be a way bigger game, but yea..
Yet it's their first RPG, even experts on the genre like CDProjekt, Larian or Bethesda are taking 6+ years for their most recent games, can't see Playground taking the same time or less

Bethesda and Rockstar are known to take too long for their games, as their games are huge.
How about the novel strategy of letting people set their own expectation levels themselves?
I suspect if you weren't desperate for games to play yourself, you wouldnt be in a showcase thread for a console you don't own, trying to dampen enthusiasm and downplay IP.
Have you considered subscribing to PS Plus Extra? I use it and it's an excellent library of great games to play.

Obsidian + Microsoft $$$
You wouldn’t believe how hyped I am. Finally they stop begging via Kickstarter to make cRPGs

I’m genuinely looking forward to the show, mainly because I haven’t got a clue what to expect, and also because MS must have plenty to show by now.
I was never big into the original Fable, purely because it really didn’t live up to expectations, but a well-made Olde English RPG sounds good to me. Avowed? I hear it mentioned a lot, but I have barely seen anything of it. Hellblade 2 will surely be a graphical showcase, but I wasn’t convinced of the game from the last showing, so it’ll be intriguing to see more.
If MS can fill half the time with 1st party games, then it’ll be a winner for sure.

I myself am very excited. Maybe is a generation thing but Fable was huge In the 360 era. If I am not mistaken it was the best selling RPG or ARPG of the 360. The fall of Fable, like Halo and others, has also a lot to do with the decline of Xbox after the Xbox One fiasco.
Most importantly, is a Playground game, a Studio with I trust and have only made great games (yes, racing games are games). About the development issues we "heard" from "insiders", well, I've heard this from every other game.
Fable is big and we should be very excited. Now, will they deliver? We have to wait until tomorrow. After Rift Apart my excitement and hype for Spider 2 was huge. I liked what I saw but still came disappointed. Hope the same doesn't occur tomorrow.
Cyberpunk DLC also

2018, actually. 2017 was them working on a pitch to Spencer which was accepted.
Start 2018 to end 2021 is approximately 4 years in that tweet

I wonder if only Cyberpunk DLC or announcement that base game is coming into Game Pass.

Avowed, Dragons Dogma 2, and Elder Scrolls VI are my three most anticipated games (yes, I like fantasy RPGs!). And looks like I'll be seeing two out of three on Sunday and Monday.
Fable not sure about the stylised cartoonish aesthetic of the series thus far - does anyone prefer it over realistic?

Its a reboot. It wont be the old style, as those were restricted to the graphics at that time.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Imagine that. They'll have premier games in both the sci-fi and fantasy RPG genres at the show if the leaks are true.

Party pooper trying a little too hard?
OG Fable got 85 MC
Fable 2 got 89

Not only are they great games but they’re completely unique from a gameplay perspective.

Bro, calm down. You can do whatever you want with your hype, it don't change nothing to me actually. I just think you will be disappointed, but thats a normal feeling for a Xbox fan. lol

Looking forward to seeing Fable.
I’m easily expecting it to ‘look’ better than Horizon Forbidden West as it’s designed with current gen in mind and not last gen.
Outside of that, I want a great single player Fable with no online crap in there at all.
Animations need to be top tier - again Horizon FW is king here for NPC conversations and dialogue.
Fable is the only IP that Microsoft (and Bethesda) have that I truly care about.
It’s got a great team making it, a fantastic engine - it has to hit it out the park for me.

thanks for telling everyone how they should or shouldn't feel in a thread where people know exactly what they are looking for and anticipating what they want. It helps a ton! /s
