Stealth game Thief: The Dark Project takes a turn for the weird in the game’s seventh mission, The Haunted Cathedral. In this mission, Garrett visits an area called the Sealed Section, which has been cut off from the rest of the city due to a violent zombie outbreak. Sure enough, players encounter zombies and other supernatural entities when making their way through this particularly spooky mission, which helps it stand out as one of the most memorable and scariest in the entire g
According to an Xbox Live API Leak last year, an unnamed UK-based studio was working on an action RPG with the codename of “Wisdom.” While internal titles are rarely used upon release, Wisdom is interesting in that it seems to be a reference to the magic system in Fable . Since the Fable games have always been about the passage of time as well, most famously the in prison sequence of Fable 2 , a story that spans a character’s entire life could fittingly be titled Fable: Wisd
Whereas most of Half-Life 2 is a straightforward sci-fi Adventure games beginner guide, the city of Ravenholm is where the game ventures into horror territory and provides the franchise’s scariest moments. Gordan Freeman reaches Ravenholm shortly after acquiring the Gravity Gun, which comes in handy when fighting off the headcrabs and zombies that are swarming the pl
If there’s one thing that gamers everywhere seem to hold their breath for, it’s Halo . Since Bungie parted ways with the property after completing development on Halo: Reach , the reins of the series has been handed over to the more than capable minds at 343 Industries. While the idea of a Halo 4 is just too good to imagine, industry rumors have been pointing to a game not only being under development, but even scheduled for a holiday release. The latest industry rumors point to the next game not being the continuation of Master Chief’s story, but rather an HD remake of Halo: Combat Evolv
NPC reactions is an area where Fable probably could have benefited from some more tweaking, since early on in the game no one takes the hero seriously, but after playing a few hours the player is likely either the most beloved or feared resident of Albion. The citizens of Albion are superficial as once the fame came in so did the opportunity to take on a spouse or three. Fable was progressive in terms of marriage, allowing the player to take a spouse of the same gender and engage in polygamy. Well, maybe polygamy wasn’t accepted in Albion since there could only be one spouse per town, so these multiple partners weren’t exactly legit. They ended up leaving me anyway since I never spent any time with them or gave them gifts, but considering how difficult and time consuming it was to actually take a spouse to bed, they seemed to be more trouble than they were worth. The main purpose spouses served in Fable was when playing as an evil character, killing them would net so many evil alignment points.
Known for its quirky, often surreal style, the Timesplitters series is regarded as one of the most entertaining FPS series’ in gaming. Relying more on humor, parody and an abundance of monkeys than on an intense, realistic narrative, the series has carved out a distinct style for itself that gamers have been wanting more of for years. Developer Crytek UK has been open to the idea of another title , Timesplitters 4 may be primed for announcement at
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a game that bleeds with interactive lore, with players picking up books about Argonian erotica or backstories on different cities. The Witcher, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, all have in-game notes to find that add even more information of the world to your lore memory bank. But with Fable, if memory serves me correctly, the lore was tucked away on an external official website rather than available in-g
Fable 2 was set 500 years after the original story, and Fable 3 set only 50 years after the second game. The game’s creator, Peter Molyneux told IGN that the time jumps between each games time periods were a “big mistake” and so I’m confident that Playground Games may honour that thinking and just send things back to simplicity. I’d like to see a game set somewhere in those 500 years but through a story that doesn’t deteriorate the lore for Fable 2 an
While the previous 3 games have been loosely open-world with linear paths and sections, the fact that we’ve seen Playground Games offer a vast open-world with Forza Horizon 4 points to us getting something massive for Fable. Additionally, with the focus on SSD power these days , it’s likely we’ll see a seamless world that’s relatively free of loading scre
For those that didn’t see the ARK 2 trailer at The Game Awards, it is looking to be a more story oriented game. Vin Diesel leads his tribe through a pre-historic jungle before they are attacked by what seems to be a rival tribe. While fighting them off, and unexpected guest shows up and makes things more complicated. In the ensuing chase scene, Vin Diesel and a young child run past several other types of dinosaurs, all of which can be assumed to be in the final game. Naturally, anything could change between now and teh game’s release so technically nothing is confirmed, but it’s a safe bet that these dinos will make the
