Big, Upsetting Fable III Announcement Coming This Week

Upon hearing the news last week that Peter Molyneux and the whimsical wizards over at Lionhead Studios plan to show off Fable III at Microsoft’s X10 event this week, I’m guessing that quite a few Fable fans selected the “Jump for Joy” option from their personal action menus. If this describes your response, then Molyneux has some words of warning for you.

"There’s some – Wow – there’s some very, very big things happening in Fable. Bigger than you think, and it’s going to really going to upset people. I’m really scared. When I go out and tell people what it is, they’re going to get super pissed off. They really are. But it’s the right thing to do,” Molyneux recently told Game Reactor.

Seeing as gamers have come to expect Molyneux games to have their release dates pushed at least a few times, it would be hard to imagine that a Fable III delay would really "piss off" that many gamers. If the game were 100 percent Project Natal-powered, then that would definitely elicit some rather unpleasant feelings among players. This is probably the least likely scenario, seeing as I doubt Microsoft would pull a Tony Hawk Ride with one of their most precious franchises, but anything’s possible I guess. Fortunately, we only have to wait a few days before we know the devastating truth.

    "Fans" of anything are the most difficult to please, therefore it does not surprise me one bit that "fans" might be pissed off about a step in a new direction. At least they're trying something new. If it were up to "fans" to continue everything, we'd have the same couple of games every year and nothing new.

    No, it's Bizarro-Molyneaux. There is no other way to explain Molyneaux NEGATIVELY hyping his game. That's some twilight zone stuff.

    both times Lionhead made Fable games it was nothing but empty promises, the first looked like an epic title but lasted 20 hours, the multiple paths came down to making a decision at the end of the game, then the second game they said they'd fix that but again it came down to picking like 3 different endings at the very end, and then the co-op they promised was crap, you couldn't import your hero into another's game and vice versa

    instead, Lionhead should focus on fulfilling their empty promises they made with the last 2 games before thinking about Natal support, and if they do go fullNatal I might just not bother with this series anymore

    I'm betting the announcement is that they finally decided to make a decent game instead of these horrid games. That would piss off the people who think FABLE is a good game.

    If Fable 3 goes the way of Project Natal power to Lion Head EVERY GAME SHOULD BE IN THE NATAL

    If you are making a game and you make a decision that you consciously know is going to make a lot of people very angry, and you can't avoid this decision.

    YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG

    Delays, I can understand, no matter how long. But please don't go full Natal.

    the Fable Series is by far my favorite series in video games ever! i hope they don't do Fable III in all natal...though that might actually make me want to go out and buy it.

    Maybe Fable 3 is going to have absolutely no NATAL component to it, and he thinks that will upset people because everyone is expecting it. It makes more sense that that is "the right thing to do", maybe because NATAL was becoming too problematic.

    I highly doubt it will be all NATAL, i fail to see how any game could be truly good and have no buttons.

    It will probably only be released in a limited collector's edition XBox 720(?) package.

    Oh great, why did they even use Natal for Fable 3? if it a huge part of the game, Fable 3 is going to be COMPLETELY ruined.

    Lol, watch it become multiplatform (meaning, watch it come out on the PS3, too.) Not going to happen, but hey, we can still dream.

    i bet the bad news is that development of fable 3 has been shutdown. its not coming out. at all. ever. that would be much worse than 'its all natal'. think about it, we have no idea how bad or good natal would be in the game until we try it...but i, for one, would be extremely put off if fable were canceled.
