Lionhead wanted to make Fable 4 but Microsoft made them do Legends instead

>Lionhead wanted to make Fable 4 but Microsoft made them do Legends instead
>Microsoft wouldn't sell Lionhead because they were unwilling to let anyone else have the Fable franchise
>Shutters Lionhead when a game they didn't want to make that they told MS would fail ends up being an unfun resource hog

I honestly don't think I can forgive them for this.

Fable sucks though

Fable is shit, who cares.

Fable 3 was legitimately one of the worst games I have ever played.

Big corps are shit, news here

Only Fable 1 was any good.

They should have just made B&W3.

Fable was just over hyped and rushed, problems that were Molyneux's fault.

>They should have just made B&W3.

Almost everyone responsible for B&W1 and 2 left Lionhead during 2006-08 though

I still want B&W3 too

it was actually microsoft. try reading the article.

>i haven't played very many games
just fascinating.

WHat article

It was lacking on some actual RPG elements. They were clearly trying to make Fable their Zelda by that point. Tough shit Lionhead can't into Zelda, so instead we got two turds, Fable 3 and that Kinect game.

Sup Forums only cares about Fable now just to shit on Microsoft and cry about "The Man".

Only good Fable was Fable 1. The rest were shit. Who cares.

>Get given a job
>Say you don't want to do that job
>Lose your job

Wow who saw that coming?!
Microsoft sure is evil.

>i-it wasn't our fault at all, we swear!
Fable 3 was horseshit anyway.
Who'd wanna see a sequel to it?

Perhaps of Molyneux had actually worked on it, it wouldn't have been as shit

B&W was great the sequal was shit. I was thinking godus would be a good replacementioned but dam was I wrong.

Black and White was their good series.
Fable was just another mediocre RPG.

>be enginer
>asked to do cabaret dance
>tell them its not your job
>they forced it
>it went terrible
>blame you for fuck up

you must be under 20 jobless virgin

Dude, Molyneux was lead designer for the game and literally made it for his 9 year old son and his friends.

He even uploaded a video of his son talking about how great the game is.

Black and White 3 never ever.

Godus was made by a group of people of which the majority have never been involved with vidya. Why would it possibly not suck?

Nice hyperbole.

But at least you've got that Godus game, eh user?

And yet he left Lionhead because his involvement was that of a glorified office piece

Fable is shit and their proposal for an "edgy" Fable 4 is just embarrassing.

Fable 1 and 2 were legit good games

3 was shit tho so I don't feel bad for them

Molyneux is a hack and hasn't made anything good for nearly a decade

It was obviously a farce to let Microsoft take all the blame for his failures.

Just look at Godus.
His first game out of Microsofts grasp and it's a fucking cashgrab.

See

What am I supposed to look at?
The fact that he wasn't even able to assemble a group of people that actually knows how to code?

>Fable 1 and 2 were legit good games
>Bad combat, neutered ambition, no story, requisite Peter Molyneux penalty, le british funnies XD

Honestly I dident look into it that hard. I was grasping for anything that looked like B&W.

If Black and White 3 ever did come out, it'd be fucking ruined by furries the same way Kaiju Combat did. No two ways about it

They probably killed the producer of Fable 1 & 2 in a faggy drug fued, which is why fable 3 and legends is shit. They will probably realize the genius of the first two fables and go back on track for an amazing sequel in the coming years. I'm a Pure Dark btw. Corrupt good watch out. ROFL!

Pure Good!

Dirty Dark Demon!

Light or Dark, Purity or Corruption,
You decide!
What about you guys?
Katana and pistol me.

Do you remember that promotion they did where the winner was going to be like a god in Godus and make loads of dosh? what happened to that.

I only fell into Peter's self-hype once. Never again. They deserved to go under much earlier than they did.

>ign.com/articles/2001/10/18/project-ego

What they should do is make it so you can only be wizard OR warrior not both. Needs classes. And pure should be elf and corrupt should be like a shriek looking guy on dark and a ratty fellow on light.
Because you can't cast spells in armor

What did people see in Fable games? I just played the first, which many people claim is the best, the combat and overworld aren't really well done, NPC interaction is just spamming emotes. The moral system is retarded with either help villagers or rape their kids and kill them and rape their kids corpses in front of them, and later you can change your alignment by throwing money at some shitty shrine anyway.
