First and foremost, Molyneux wanted to clear the air by saying that the demo shown during the E3 press conference was indeed an “on rails” sequence, but was not indicative of the final experience. In an effort to keep bugs and motion control issues to a minimum, the team at Lionhead devised this tech demo to show the capabilities of the game, not necessarily what the final product will look l
Given the new 22 Cans venture, it’s unclear how involved Molyneux will actually be as a “creative consultant” and it’s hard not to speculate that title is more of a PR move than an actual indication that the designer will be very involved in the completion of the project. The “creative consultant” position is becoming a go-to move for developers lately, as major figure-heads leave fan-favoite studios in the midst of oft-delayed projects, since the situation is especially reminiscent of the recent Fumito Ueda/Team Ico change-
Leading up to E3 2012, many of the big game announcements were unveiled early, from Star Wars 1313 to Gears of War: Judgment . Still, there were a few pleasant surprises during the five major press conferences — Watch Dogs and Beyond: Two Souls to name just two — in a year that focused heavily on software as the current console generation approaches the end of its life cy

Leading up to E3, the Game Rant team put together a pair of lists of our most anticipated confirmed games E3 2011 and our most anticipated rumored games . Several of the rumored games did end up being showcased at the annual Los Angeles event, but were our hopes and anticipation justif
When Telltale Games announced that they would be bringing Fables , an adaptation of the Vertigo graphic novel series to gamers everywhere, it was hard to know what to expect. That was before The Walking Dead made the studio one of the most impressive in the realm of video game writing , not to mention undisputed masters of episodic relea
The comment is an odd one as thus far, Fable Legends looks like it has a very direct approach to online play allowing you to set up games with friends, while both Journey and Dark Souls had more passive systems that limited interaction with other players. They were powerful multiplayer experiences though, and if Fable Legends can figure out a way to incorporate some of their elements into the game, it could be a great compliment the co-op heavy gamep
While development on the inevitable Fable walkthrough|https://Fablechronicle.com/ 4 will surely be affected, the developer has agreed to stay on as a creative consultant for the studio’s Kinect/ Fable mash-up Fable: The Journey – which, like many Lionhead games, has already enjoyed a lengthy development cy
After the Microsoft press conference, I was ready to write off Kinect as a gameplay device for the hardcore, but hearing and seeing what Fable: The Journey could be has me intrigued in the possibilities once ag
Yet despite that success, there have still been no substantial announcements on what the studio has planned for Bill Willingham’s comic series. If a cryptic tweet from Telltale’s Twitter account is any indication, that may be about to cha
Talking further, he said that while they hadn’t quite figured it out, the team is trying to use the Xbox One’s cloud servers to matchmake players with friends and strangers. Although he didn’t explain how this would work, he did alluded to influences that the team are drawing f
But what stood out more to this comic book fan was the poster featuring little more than the title ‘Fables’ and a looming silhouette of a werewolf. So, it was assumed that Telltale would be focusing on the fairy tale graphic novel’s Bigby (a.k.a.’The Big Bad Wolf); given the studio’s experience with the likes of Puzzle Agent , building an adventure game around the sheriff of Fabletown made se
In an interview with Digital Spy , Head of Lionhead Studios John Needham explained that this new online direction for the studio isn’t going to be exclusive to Fable Legends . Following the departure of Peter Molyneux , Needham – who has an MMO pedigree – took over the studio in his stead. With that pedigree, he said that all future games from the studio will boast “connected” aspects. Being candid about his roots, Neeham said, “We’re online game guys, that’s the studio. We love online games, we love interaction with real people, and we want to bring that magic to Fable” . He explained that interaction between characters and NPCs is what made the world of Albion a special place to play in. The goal of Fable Legends is to experiment with that dynamic and see what would happen if you substituted those interactions and brought in real players to the
