Following the initial Kotaku report, Molyneux took to Twitter (for the first time since November 16th) to chat it up with fans and other industry icons ( Minecraft creator, Notch plus the aforementioned Cliffy B) – as well as reveal his plans for the fut
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
Winter’s still going on strong – for most of us, anyway – but the gaming release lull is slowly coming to an end! While most February releases are still geared towards the previous generation, there are a few next-gen games that should start the ball rolling for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Let’s take a look at what February has to of
The nominations were decided by all 11 of the Game Rant staff in attendance for E3 and are based upon our previews, demos and hands-on experiences with all of the available titles at the event this y
The comment is an odd one as thus far, Fable collectibles|https://fablechronicle.com/ 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
Molyneux’s choice to exit Lionhead also means he’ll be leaving his position as creative head of Microsoft Studios Europe. Microsoft issued a brief statement praising Molyneux but has yet to name a new creative head for their European studios (Rare and Lionhead, most notab
Opening up the month is the anticipated Fable Anniversary , a re-imagining of the hit RPG originally released on the Xbox nearly ten years ago. It arrives February 4th for the Xbox 360. On the 5th, internet “let’s play” sensation Outlast will be available on the PS4. Later in the month, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII makes its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 11th. Rayman Legends jumps into the next-gen fray on the 18th, giving some much-needed platformer action to the PS4 and Xbox One. The Wii U gets its own taste of more platformer goodness on the 21st, when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze swings into action. Finally, the long-awaited Thief reboot finds its way to all major platforms after nearly a decade of abse
To celebrate the release, Lionhead Studios has today announced a special Launch Day content pack to be bundled alongside the game. These incentives, collected “inside a shiny, slip-on embossed case” include the following it
Is Fable the best game in this near-decade old franchise? Which other Xbox Originals could do with a total re-mastering? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to check in with all of the latest Fable news, right here on Game R
For those who had a hard time getting the original game and its expansion pack Fable: The Lost Chapters to run on the 360, it’s a real shame that the re-worked effort is also set to become immediately outdated. Developing the game as an Xbox 360/ Xbox One downloadable might have made more sense, given the timing of the anniversary as slap bang in the middle of the second wave of Xbox One tit
It looks like there’s a lot more to look forward to this month, with more releases on the PS4 and Xbox One. Although it won’t be until March that the next-gen titles start pouring in, February should have many releases to keep gamers occupied. Ranters, what are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments section below! As for me, I’ll be counting the days until Thief releases on St
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-
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
For many gamers, Fable ‘s 2004 debut marked a high-water point for the quirky, irreverent series. With its expansive scope, cosy tone and unashamedly puerile humor, the title earned its way to plenty of plaudits, and even more admiring follow
Online is an integral part of video games in the modern age. For better or for worse, the last generation of console was dominated by online gaming with competitive matchmaking becoming a norm for most AAA game titles, helping make the eSports culture more mainstream. The popularity of series such as Halo , Call of Duty and FIFA meant that for many gamers, online play was the main reason to keep playing a game. The consequences of this were that several publishers became slaves to the trend, putting (forcing?) in needless multiplayer modes that took away from certain game as a wh
