That's pretty excellent anyway, Stephen Fry's voice work in Fable 2 was excellent so it's good to see more English funny folk get onboard. To be fair though it would of been more of a shock announcement if he'd told the world they weren't making Fable 3. The real question is whether its coming out for the 360 or not. Hmm... it took them around 4 years to make Fable II, and if the next Xbox is going to be released in 2011-12, Fable III could very well be a launch game for it.
Anyway, this is great news, I loved Fable II despite it being a bit of a dissapointment. Cool. I wonder if they'll set it another 500 years onwards. Considering Lionhead is owned by Microsoft i'd say that a 360 release is a given.
Unless you meant it may be being developed for the next gen MS console. He's everywhere on TV, radio, film (shrek 2) and now hes going to ruin my beloved Bioshock! PWICK!! :twisted: Bioshock? WHAT THE F*CK DID I DO THERE?????? :D :D :D
Phew! I had just read the little sister story and then this. The two must have got mixed up in my tiny bwain!
*panic over* Yeah that's what I meant, the time frame would be right in my opinion and Fable III would sell very very well as a launch title for the new Xbox. Does this spell the end of Fable 2 DLC? You're joking, right? You've seen the speed of Lionhead's planning and development stages :) What does it matter? Knothole Island was nothing special anyway. I think developers like Bethesda need to stop concentrating so much on DLC and focus on getting new IPs out there. I wouldn't think so. I'm guessing they'll just be planning at this point, which would only involve a handful of people such as Molyneux and not the programmers etc. that's what i meant.
I agree that it'll more than likely be a launch title for the next MS console, or released pretty soon after.
Hope its set in a victorian albion. **** jonathan ross, did i just read that correctly? Charlie Brookers doing a voice for it aswell? Well, hot damn, I really want Fable 3 now! Calm down folks, Fable III isn't until late this year, early next year. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a lot sooner than that - I can't see it taking as long as the gap between Fable and Fable 2.
:) Replacing the 'Rs' with 'Ws' C&VG? Very original :) Are you talking about the time in the story, or the development time?
On the developement side, it shouldn't take as long to get Fable 3 out since all the core technology is place already, though I guess it would just depend on how grand the plans are for the game... you know what Peter is like! I meant the development time. I imagine they've had plenty of ideas being thrown around since before the second was released - plus, the Dev team would have learnt a lot in the time spent on Fable 2 about how to get things working quickly....
....actually, it's probably just wishful thinking on my part - I'd love another Fable as soon as possible. In fact, I'm off back to Albion tonight after thinking about it this morning.
:) cant wait for this game, although this time i hope they call the town something different (i cant bring myself to say the name of the town) as im a woves fan.... :evil: Rossy also did a secret voice for Halo 3. You mean the land of (West Brom)Albion? I doubt they'll ditch it as they like to show how its evolved. You must be a hardcore Wolves fan if you can't say the name! Based on what several staff members have told me from Lionhead (mostly woody),
Development time is late this year/next year.
It may not take long for the gap, but you got to remember they have to add more features, and make entirely new models and landscapes etc.
Not only that music, and voice-overs.
Which lionhead are starting for voice-overs in the upcoming few months. I know the voice-over stuff for Fable 2 is huge, so I guess that'll take a while.
I'll be really happy if it all follows this timescale though....more of the same please Lionhead.
:) So if what you're saying is true, we'll see this on the 360 Xmas 2010 or early 2011? Well, that sounds good to me, add the Bioshock 2 info today and I'm getting really excited. Bioshock 3 will also probably come out in late 2011 so probably around when Fable III comes out. Wasn't Wossy in Fable 2 as well? I was sure it was him playing some sort of pink dress wearing bald transvestite dude. Maybe I was wrong. Hahahahahhahahahahahha!
Well done mate. Posted by Black Mantis

Middle of 2010. Yeah, I remember hearing Ross in Halo 3.
Charlie Brooker is an absolute star, and a great friend to the gaming fraternity. He's also the funniest and most incisive journo in Britain (neither of which is necesarily that difficult). His column in the Guardian is pretty much the only thing that gets me through Mondays. Just take your time with this one and don't release it before you have ironed out the game busting bugs. The glitches of wife disappearing etc I can handle but to completely bork your game is another matter.
Seriously the other RPG's released on the 360 have been glitchy/had performence issues but at least they have not had a game stopping bug. Otherwise good news indeed. 8) it is truth, works in one of the bars or is a frequenter, forget which one, i heard about it when the game came out and checked it out and sure enough it is his voice... |
