so someone at IGN has been posting supposed Fable 360 impressions that will appear on a website i havent seen before... what do you think real or fake?

here is a txb thread on it:

[Timen]

i love it when rumors break during the weekend

Graphics:
Its hard to explain without actual pictures (of which you of course can see on Tuesday). I will say that they are easily the most beautiful next-gen pictures I’ve seen. The game will also run at a solid 60 FPS and will not drop after cutscenes. The game will also be load less going from area to area. The pictures will certainly drop some jaws.

sounds promising enough...

If true...OMG!1 the real Fable!

I know Fable 360 is being developed... just didn't think it'd be at E3. But if it is, AWESOME.

Oh, I've got impressions about Insomniac's FPS. Can't quite remember the name right now, lil help che?

 

[Optimistic]

Fantastic. Fable was great for what it was, but I see it more as providing the groundwork for Fable 2. I mean, imagine Fable 1, only with a bigger, seamless world with as much or more detail, refined combat, and all of the gameplay ideas given depth. So essentially Morrowind with good art and less monotonous gameplay.

Have you seen it or just heard about it?

Early Fable screens were astounding too. So, why should this time be different?

But I hope it will

Last time they were developing/designing on machines more powerful than the final hardware (they had more ram) this time they have had machines less powerful that the final hardware (less ram, slower processor), so it shouldnt suffer the same fate.

Id like to believe this guy but:

That link says it'll be released before E32006, and they'll cancel it rather than delay it. 18 months for all the stuff he's saying they've added? Doesnt seem possible.

He also spelt subtle...suddle...who does that?


You wouldn't think he'd post links to his site everywhere if he was making it up, but maybe he just wants the 1000's of extra hits he'll get.

 

[COCKLES]

Fable = one of biggest selling Xbox games.

Fable 2 = As surprising as finding sex with Monica Bolluchi is very nice indeed.

 

[Benedict]

There is something I have to say. And I have to say it because I love making games. When a game is in development, myself and the development teams I work with constantly encourage each other to think of the best features and the most ground-breaking design possible.

However, what happens is that we strive to include absolutely everything we've ever dreamt of and, in my enthusiasm, I talk about it to anyone who'll listen, mainly in press interviews. When I tell people about what we're planning, I'm telling the truth, and people, of course, expect to see all the features I've mentioned. And when some of the most ambitious ideas get altered, redesigned or even dropped, people rightly want to know what happened to them.

If I have mentioned any feature in the past which, for whatever reason, didn't make it as I described into Fable, I apologise. Every feature I have ever talked about WAS in development, but not all made it. Often the reason is that the feature did not make sense. For example, three years ago I talked about fungus growing as time past. The team did code this but it took so much processor time (15%) that the feature was not worth leaving in. That 15 % was much better spent on sunsets and sexscenes. So nothing I said was groundless hype, but people expecting specific features which couldn't be included were of course disappointed. If that's you, I apologise. All I can say is that Fable 2 is the best game we could possibly make, and that people really seem to love it.

I have come to realise that I should not talk about features too early so I am considering not talking about games as early as I do. This will mean that the Lionhead games will not be known about as early as they are, but I think this is the more industry standard.

Our job as the Lionhead family of studios is to be as ambitious as we possibly can. But although we jump up and down in glee about the fabulous concepts and features we're working on, I will not mention them to the outside world until we've implemented and tested them, and they are a reality.

Thank you for reading.

Peter.

 

[Redbeard]

Just give me a world that isn't on rails.

 

[Prine]

HELL YEAH!!

one of my most anticipated games of the new generation!

 

[Loki]

The next Fable game is going to look ridiculous. Check out that scene at the end of one of the recent videos where it looks like two imps/dwarves are running through a field at sunset, with the grass swaying in the wind for an idea of what to expect. Jaw-dropping.


What game was that supposed to be in the video, btw?

 

[golem]

lost odyssey i think

omg molyneux hype train is coming again!

If that was 99N, was that pre-rendered or what? What the fuck barbeque, ya know?

I know what you mean. That shit WAS impressive.

I cut some images from the trailer thingy.

Pretty great stuff, imho. The animation of those two shadowy figures in the back was phenomenal, even for only a few seconds.

Run, you crazy elves!

The blade barely misses his head. What a shiteatin' ogre.

I want to cut his lips from his face.

Super Shockwave UNLIMITED!

GLOOOOOOSH! Damn, that shit is hot.

 

[Ranger X]

Where can i see this footage please?

 

[Amir0x]

Where can i see this footage please?

It's in a thread around 'ere, from a Japanese news broadcast or something. It's really nice high quality too for what it was, so I loved it. I can't seem to find it atm, though

that entire japanese press conference video was unbelievable. I downloaded the HQ quality version and that exploding creature up in the sky = OH MY GOD.

its in the thread with big NNN in the title.

all these were cg though so temper your expectations.

 

[Ranger X]

CG renders? awwww.... not interested then.
I'll be back when there's REAL footage from the in-game stuff.

Yeah, the fluidity of the animation for those two characters in the background as well as the grass swaying realistically (i.e., not all in the same direction) really sold that scene. If that's what we can expect, I'll be shocked.
