So... About THAT New Fable Gameplay...

- Exiting the Xbox Game Showcase, there was plenty of optimism surrounding the brand. Unfortunately, one exclusive is receiving a ton of backlash being mass disliked across all platforms. While understandable, I think much of it boils down to misunderstanding what was actually shown and, in turn, making things much more impressive in one particular way.

Please God let us still be able to create our own hero.
You can always choose a male or female
Yeah I don't wanna play that hideous female(?)
Perhaps not. Fable never had "create your character"
@@star.traffick8390women...right
@@star.traffick8390 is that a woman?? I couldn't tell.
I didn't see anyone complain about the trailer "being" or "looking" like CGI. The biggest complaints were that we, again, saw NO ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.
No the biggest complaint is the main character we saw
@@bozo3557
Why!
This woman is the face of Xbox platform. They created a mascot for Xbox.
@@asifmetal666 The mascot of Xbox has always been Master Chief
@@thatguyA251 about?
@@bozo3557I don’t have a problem playing as someone who isn’t a super model tbh. Plus I bet she isn’t even the main character.
I just want a return to the tone of TLC, The first Fable was my childhood. The narrative had a great mix of an epic story laced with dry and dark humor, the game made me a lifelong lover of RPG's. I'm hopeful this new game will live up to that. I pray to God it doesn't go the way of Saints Row.
Considering the company who got the rights to it and what a dumpster fire they've been making their social pages, you better believe it's gonna go the direction of Saints Row 😂
That’s where some generations differ, cause fable 3 was my child hood and I absolutely love it till this day and occasionally go back to play it for nostalgia.
@@cheekychicano680Fable 3 was garbage.
The purpose of this trailer appeared to be more about a graphical showing and to tell everyone (I think mainly older fans) that they are sticking with a similar tone rather than making it more "serious". As for what they showed with the protagonist, it's not entirely clear to me if this portrayal was what we should expect or just something that gave the trailer a better flow. I've seen people talking about the main character's gender and I imagine there will be a choice at the beginning in similar manner to Fable 2 and 3. Also I believe the "Jack and the Beanstalk" sequence threw people off because it had moments that looked like a "movie game" but I'm pretty sure Xbox and Playground have referred to it as an RPG and not an Action Adventure game. Having moments like this thrown in the mix with a classic style would probably be awesome.
Yeah it's a tone piece
Ya bro I hear you, it's not even the fans attacking this, mostly salty ponies
Yeah, Fable 2 or 3 had a trailer that was just following a chicken running around a kitchen being chased by a chef. That had a lot less than this.
No they're just making it a fucken ugly char.
IMO, the tone is not quite right. The humour is a little too self aware, I feel like the older Fables had balance and were still dark. It was still a fantasy. This seems like modern humour in a fantasy setting. It kind of reminds me of that movie "your highness". Despite that, the art style has been completely abandoned. Aesthetically, it definitely isn't Fable.
At no point did MS suggest that Fable is coming out sometime in 2024, games that are targeting that year were marked as such, and Phil's roundup at the end pointed to this as well. Fable is likely a 2025 game.
Correct, no chance this is a 2024 game. This is 2025, maybe even 2026 if things don't go as smoothly as they'd like.
I'm pretty sure it at earliest May 2025 at the trailer it said no date but realisic I see it as a August/September 2025 Because Xbox Show Case 2025 in June could Blow out with controler Game Play
Yes definitely 25! They make this game on the Forza Horizon Engine so while it has stunning graphics they must have had to create whole combat and other stuff from the buttom. Playground is such a great Studio! They will make it. I think this will be Visually superior to all RPGs.
Knowing the speed of MS xbox studios more likely 2026 an less is pretty short.
@@akensonsmay as well just forget it exists for the next 2 years.
Personally I would like if every showcase did the Starfield thing where when a game is a few months out they have like a big 30-minute this is what the game is.
That would make perfect sense for hell-blade next year and Fable most likely the year after.
To have like a 30-minute Deep dive soaking play so you know exactly what you're getting.
I'd like this a lot, the gaming industry definitely needs more transparency.
Not sure how well that would work for a game like this, its not gonna be a staggering amount of new features, their will be an open world some house buying, some npc interaction, some character customisation magic, and exploring. Kinda standard rpg stuff with some more interaction and minigames.
I guess they could play though a level. But unless its like fable 3 where you can alter a kingdom, or the housing system is super in-depth their wont be a ton to break down.
@@expressrobkilltrue. fable already has so many established features that aren’t new and don’t need introduction. imo art direction and general tone is what makes fable fable. fable’s unique because it taps into the fairytale side of fantasy fiction that other rpgs just don’t and it has that specific british humour to it. you have to play fable to get a feel for it i think.
Why is the female character so ugly? XD
@@expressrobkillgames used to have long demos all the time. Halo 2 was a 7-8 hour Fps and MS gave it like a ten minute demo that wasn't even in the actual game to show off new features.
XGS has been bad at promoting their games for the longest time.
Unlike most of the other trailers, where you can tell there are at least some gameplay in it, the Fable trailer feels like a cinematic trailer through and through. It doesn't matter whether it's captured in game engine, you just can't tell how the game is played by watching the trailer.
Big fricken facts. I have no idea how this game will play. What this game will be. Nada. Massive miss in my opinion.
It's a trailer not a gameplay demonstration. It's to show u what the game looks like because no one heard from the game since it was announced.
agreed, it didn't show us much of anything in regards to actual gameplay or even story
There were gameplay scenes within the trailer. If you watch it again a few times, you will see where the gameplay is.
(the leg sweep ,move / throwing the potion / jumping through the fire / face off with the giant)
This was also shown on the Xbox series x per a dev
The biggest issue I had about the Fable teaser is that it *it didn't look like Fable.*
They've lost that iconic Fable art style that the game is known for.
Funny how nobody has this complaint when Zelda changes art styles every single game
What is the 'iconic' fable art style? Fable 1 looks nothing like Fable 2 and 3.
@@garrenbrooks4778oh boy you must be young. Look at how people reacted when Wind Waker dropped. That's why we got twilight princess instead of Wind Waker 2 like what was going to happen.
Lost the disproportionate caricatures of people and environments that gave it that comical fantastical wonky dreamlike vibe
@@garrenbrooks4778 yeah, fable ain't zelda bud
The only question I have for this Fable game is, does it have the variety of spells and abilities that fable lost chapters had? If it does then we can build a bit of positive momentum.
I think it's safe to assume we will get at least as many spells and abilities as the lost chapters. Microsoft are pumping the big bucks into these studios to make killer apps for their platform. I have faith in playground.
They should have just shown a gameplay trailer.
@@barcster2003 If it's not releasing until next year it's fair to assume the gameplay is not in a good spot yet. If the gameplay changed between this year and the next showcase you'd complain about that too.
@@TheDarkAdventure other games that aren't releasing till next year have gameplay.
@@emarskineel I’m ecstatic that these big choice based rpgs, that arn’t super generic like any Ubisoft game, are the ones Microsoft are backing.
The voices for Commander Shepard were top notch in my opinion. So it can be done
Mass Effect was a voiced protagonist in all games. I think Matty’s point was series that start out with a non-voiced protagonist, then change to a voiced protagonist.
Also Shepard was a set character like his example of Geralt. Fable was traditionally you choose your own character, though maybe they will switch that up for the new game.
@@brandond40 If that’s what Matty meant than I misunderstood
@@m1lehighmagic i’m pretty sure it was because he made the same point in more detail in his other recent video on Fable. Which was more of a retrospective video on the original trilogy. Pretty dope video if you’re a fan of the series
@@brandond40 In that case, Mattys point was rather weak. Plenty of games with voiced protagonists that have choices and consequences. Does it matter whether it started off as such? Take Dragon Age as an example, the third game might have had lots of generic size content but it was fully voiced with lots of choices and consequences. And having a voiced protagonist doesn't have to mean all answers are fully voiced as well. Perhaps, inFable the protagonist might speak while still communicating via emotions during gameplay or written responses in dialogue. I do think voiced protagonists limit the ability to role play who you want to play since the voice might not match what you imagined in your head. For that reason I prefer no voice but I've seen both ways working out for different games.
@@brandond40 I mean in fairness he used The Witcher as an example which also started with a voiced protagonist. I think he just forgot Mass Effect existed for a second. lol. But I will agree some games are better voiceless and Fable is one of them. Shepard is Shepard much like Geralt is Geralt. You can shape them a bit but they are kinda set characters whereas Fable or TES is meant to be an avatar.
The dislike ratio is not because people thought its cgi. Thats not what people complained about. We dont know what that game is.
Eggsactly
Speak for yourself bud, I know what the game is and everyone who played fable knows what it is. And if you still don't know a little 2 mins Google search will tell you.🤷🏽
Agreed, compared to previous Fables, this looks an offshoot, if anything.
@@JRChuxx it screams woke
The other good example of having your character voiced, would be mass effect trilogy. I couldn't imagine playing those without Shepard being voiced
Adding to this that, like Mass Effect, the Fable games having choices didn’t make them non-linear RPGs. A voiced character wouldn’t (I’d assume) alter that element of player choice too much in this case.
Yeah but ME had a somewhat partial identity previously attached to your character protagonist. That's the key. You're playing your VERSION of Shepard, not YOUR character.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel
Farcry 6 I really wished they were silent for that one, constant talking just for the sake of saying something, and the phonecalls…
I gotta say I feel like cyberpunk would feel out of place with a text player character too. Kinda pulls out of emotional scenes if they wanted to try
I don’t think people truly thought this was just a cinematic, I think people are frustrated that “in engine” cutscenes still don’t completely show us what the game is. Sure there were a couple spots in there that are likely gameplay but it’s not really what we were expecting based on the comments Xbox made leading up to the event. Those Twitter posts made it seem like gameplay would be a lot more prevalent than it was.
It looked goofy in a bad way.
No
He says in 3:44 that it's coming out in 2024 but in the trailer I see no date. Did I miss something?
He keeps saying that idk where he’s getting his info
Its an assumption. He didn't say for certain that is coming in 2024
The next teaser will release in 2024 lmao
@@zephyreagle he did on the podcast
Doubtful we even get it fall 2024
This didn't feel like fable. Fable was a dark fantasy with British gallow humour, not a comedy in a dark fantasy setting. Also I know we all joke that fable characters look ugly but this time it's no joke.
I feel like the Fable portion was made to give us an idea of the targeted art style for the game, which I like. Now, we just need to see what type of combat and storytelling they are aiming for.
Better customize my characer i dont wantto play as a little girl...
@@TheWhiteTemplar2077 It looks like Playground is splitting the difference. You're going to play a Non-Binary character like with those new emojis that were added to our phones. PG is hip to the times!
@@TheWhiteTemplar2077Have you never played fable before? You can always become buff
@@AIIEYESONME What the hell does this comment even mean
@@AIIEYESONME Cringe.
Ingame footage doesn't always mean gameplay footage.
I think what's far more likely than the main character specifically being the person we saw in the trailer is that it will behave like fable 2 where you can pick a gender and you have minimal voiceless from two actors. Maybe in this game there will simply be more voice lines from the pc than we got in previous titles, at any rate i think it's unfairly conclusive to assume that the trailer depicted every choice about character identity.
The problem is that it isn't cartoonish, so simply choosing male or female would mean having two characters modelled, voiced, and animated completely differently, which would mean lots of work from the developers, which isn't something companies usually afford. Even in Fable 3 the female character would get occasionally get transformed during gameplay to be able to use the male character's animations.
hey matty, where did you get the 2024 release date from? i don't recall seeing that anywhere in the trailer or anywhere else.
I remember when you made a forza video talking about their engine and how photo realistic it will look. Playground games was making it known that this game was going to look amazing
Who cares we want gameplay
@@fortyozsteakit showed gameplay ffs cry harder 😂
@@fortyozsteakit has gameplay, if you don't see the hud then is not gameplay?😅
@@fortyozsteak 🤡
@@edu_mag0018We saw like two seconds of gameplay animations. We didn’t see a HUD, menus, different activities, game mechanics, or anything. We saw two seconds of HUD-less combat and two seconds of running. If that’s what we’re calling a “gameplay reveal” then that was pretty damn lame.
Even if it's "in-game" it was cut and spliced together to look like a trailer - they need to show some uncut (not stitched together) gameplay longer than 3-5 seconds. I didn't dislike what they showed, it looked good to me, but it wasn't what I wanted to see of the game. Fable is a beloved series that had a ton of features (even if it always falls well short of what's promised). I think it could really use a deep-dive on its own, like a good 20 minute chunk of solid gameplay; show some character creation, some combat, some NPC interaction, leveling, whatever other systems are involved. Obviously, they couldn't get that all in this showcase though.
People are just desesperate 😂
agreed and that’ll come next year
Nowhere did it say "gameplay". It said very specifically "in-game footage". We got shown cutscenes not gameplay.
I thought Fable looked great, straight up implementing fables into the gameplay and story is freaking awesome! How did people not understand that he’s the giant from Jack and the Bean Stalk.
Probably because Jack isn't black. Might have something to do with it. Before anyone freaks out, just answering the question.
You have got to be kidding me... The giants ethnicity in a short fable is not worthy of this argument. Cringeworthy dude.
They did, but the trailer is awful and dosen't feel like Fable at all.
@@isturbo1984 well Jack wasn’t the giant… but ignoring that, if people find it impossible for a GIANT, to be black, then those people need to look deep in themselves and ask when’s the last time they saw a white giant in real life lol.
@@rpgadventurer32 well I played em years ago and I don’t want the same thing that I already played, I think it looks fun… now if only there was a way for you to play the same old Fable over and over with some sort of… I don’t know… a game subscription service of some sort, maybe then you wouldn’t be such a curmudgeon.
"We need representation for ugly people" lmao
She is not ugly
@@stur3366 yeah she is .
@@stealthbrandon She really isn't that bad compared to the other protagonists in fable
Xbox got no bitches lol
Gameplay is one thing - but then there's tone. I hope they have some more classical UK comedy rather than the new. Talking Monty Python and Black Adder kinda stuff, ya know?
The older comedy troupes. The dry slapstick humour that Fable is more known for.
Some of the newer English comedians are just god awful. Richard being an exception.
And the voices, some of them are too iconic. Zoe Wanamaker and Stephen fry to name a few.
Overall I'm still concerned for Fable in some ways but if there's one thing Playground can guarantee it's fidelity.
Bro 2024 title? stop it Matty this is late 2025 release at earliest
They can say all they want about this being in-engine or in-game, but it's not actual GAMEPLAY. We still don't know how the game plays. We need raw footage.
Just because you play a movie on a console doesn't make it not CGI. The anger comes from the fact that ALL has been shown of this game for YEARS is non gameplay.
it's a weird definition of gameplay, for me, even if it's running in game, showing only cutscene, it's not gameplay. I want to see run around, doing stuff and a UI.
Not UI, I hope they keep it clean, that would be better
There's a shot where the protagonist seems to throw a fireball at enemies which might be an indicator of what actual gameplay might look like. Side note: The graphics look great.
Yeah that was a short gameplay looks good they should of showed 10 seconds of gameplay and people would have praised it
@@droid4d279 Agreed
I’m not expecting Fable until 2025, personally. However, I’m in full agreement, giving each of these big games their own direct is a great idea. They could start this fall with a Hellblade Direct, and give it a release date. Then that could carry us into next year. There are so many games in development, it’s really tough to figure out when some of them will release. I could see next year being Hellblade 2, Towerborne, Avowed, and Forza Horizon 6, for instance.
I'm just hoping that you can choose male or female lead character. That way there's more replay value. Also I'm sure they will have a morality system, it's what Fable is built upon. I also hope that the gameplay still has that jankiness the originals had. If it's too polished it won't feel like Fable to me. All in all, Im hopeful for this one. It looks great so far.
I hope you can customize their faces cause 😬
@@toshiamiyumi2604seriously!
@@toshiamiyumi2604 well you don’t like fable if you think thats important. You’re a very shallow person.
@@toshiamiyumi2604 she has a Jay Leno chin.
It dosen't look great at all, this was a cgi trailer, a bad one, not a gameplay trailer.
I really hope we can create our own character.
It would be very expensive and time consuming, but it would be great to see voice selection like with older Saints Row games
The problem with this new Fable, or at least the trailer, is that it looks nothing like the original. The original is bright, has its set of lovable characters and a good antagonist, and has a feel to it that this new one fails to capture.
The actor with the weird modern glasses in a medieval fantasy doesn't fit. Jack and the beanstalk? Giants? Who remembers that in the original? They deliberately made the female protagonist weirdly masculinized. Why? Who are they trying to appeal to? Where's Jack Of Blades, you know, the original's antagonist? Why wasn't he more of a focus for the trailer?
It just seems like the game has all its priorities wrong. I mean, look up a video by the channel PlokTheMasterGamer where he compares the original game's trailer vs the new one. You can clearly tell the old one knew exactly what made it great and the new one has absolutely no idea of its own identity. This just tells me they're just making a game they want to make and slapping the Fable name on it to make sales.
As a game dev “captured” doesn’t mean anything. They could just be running what essentially amounts to an in-engine cutscene on the hardware. Playground makes great looking cars, no doubt, but those characters and the foliage look miles better than they have in ANY Forza game.
I’m pressing X to doubt until we see some actual gameplay.
What upsets me is the trailer implies a linear action adventure game, moments look like platforming. What makes Fable to me is your choices changing your character and the world around you. Also in Fable 1 you couldn't play a female character. I was hoping the new game would move towards more character customization, not less. I was initially really upset but i feel like i need to wait and see more.
My only issue for both Fable and Senua was that we didn't see untethered footage of gameplay. It was the in game cinematics and a brief, heavily edited vertical slice of what *might* be actual gameplay for Fable. We didn't see how the game will work (like if it'll be similar to God of War or Witcher). We didn't see if that fight will be a sorta on-the-rails section or if you're free to roam around that giant's home, or at least table, while dodging and attacking him, if we're even going to actually meet him at all. For Senua, we didn't see if there's going to be a far deeper expansion on gameplay like the combat or at least puzzles and exploration. Like I'm already expecting the narrative aspects of Senua to be superb so seeing those parts constantly isn't really reassuring when it comes to the rest of the piece.
What's that song In the background?
It’s the tone of the game, doesn’t feel like fable. Me and all my buddies who played EVERY SINGLE fable at launch (and still play to this day); none of us liked the trailer. Doesn’t look like fable or have a tone of fable. This CGI trailer sets the tone of what the games tone will be.
Graphics look amazing; but the tone is something I worry about. We need gameplay showcase with features, mechanics, settings, quest design, world design, combat infrastructure and art design to really understand what this will be.
Glad they kicked a chicken in the trailer, fable classic! Was my favorite part of the trailer. Also the main protagonist looks to be mute and that does help the tone of the original 2 installments.
The setting is what I believe I am mainly worried about, Jack and the giant bean stock looks hyper fairytale fantasy. Fable wasn’t hyper fantasy so I hope they bring something to the table that will sell me and put me in complete awe.
I hope they keep the moral system and landlord system. 2 of the many main pillars of the game.
We also NEED to have good co-op like fable 3. That’s the best part of that game was how brilliant the co-op was.
Simply they should have shown gameplay.
Hey Matty! Thanks for all the content following the Summer Games Fest. You are my fave content creator for going through all this stuff. Starfield is my number one game that I'm waiting for. Pre ordered the Constellation Edition, never ordered a collectors edition for any game ever but I really feel BGS have knocked it out of the park this time. I'm like you and love everything BGS have done along with Obsidian and F:NV. Plenty of good games that have my interest, Avowed, Star Wars, Clockwork Revolution and a few others. Fables never been my cup of tea but who knows, Gamepass sure does make it easy to try new stuff. Stay awesome!!!!
What's the music btw? From some game I could imagine. Usually recognize them but not this. Thinking about it again. Can someone help, would like to listen to it and maybe play the game too.
Is it coming out in 2024? i didnt see that in the trailer
The presented hero in the trailer is supposed to be a humorous take on the hero archetype. The trailer says "handsome dashing heroes with high cheek bones" but then they show the hero as an ordinary person, very far from the ideal etc. It's a pun. It's also in spirit with Fable where you were the "hero" yet you kicked chickens, did immoral things etc.
Ordinary people don’t look like that.

It looks dumb. It's the writing. It's cringe for lack of a better word.
They should take it as compliment it looked that good people thought it was cgi
It might as well be.
Given the state of AAA games nowadays, while excited I'm still skeptical. Seemed scripted, the main character broke the 4th wall when the giant picked her up. The giant was breaking the 4 wall speaking to us off screen. I highly doubt that's part of the game 😂. So the real question that needs to be asked is how much of what we saw was actually caught in game?
What is that OST in the BG???
At 72 yrs old,it’s all good😊👍🏿🕺🏿❤
I'm 99.9% sure there was no release window announced (or even hinted at) for Fable. Assuming it's a 2025 game, I don't think there was anyone wrong with what was shown.
Gameplay that we saw looked pretty solid (all like 3 seconds of it with no hud) but overall I'm only burnt because of the dust hints prior to the showcase which made me think that this trailer would be the heavy hitter for the xbox showcase
Is this set in the 1900s? what's with the Target Optical glasses?
I'm not trying to dunk on your main point here, but in no way did that Fable trailer come off as "game play".
And saying the developer doubled down by stating it was captured on an XBox means little as far as that point.
You can't tell me they can't script a in-engine scene on a development build to make it flow and look awesome (which the trailer did for sure).
But as graphically impressive as it was, it still doesn't come any closer to telling me what this game actually will play like.
I was hoping for more in the extended XBox session today, but no joy.
Poor guy 😂
Some parts are obviously gameplay. It's gonna play like every other 3rd person action rpg game. If you're a fable fan, i wouldn't worry too much.
@@ObiWanShinobi67 lol at what Xbox guys call gameplay.
@@barcster2003her throwing those fireballs looked like gameplay. Doing that execution type takedown looked like gameplay. looked like some quicktime type events fighting the giant, God of war style. It's cool when it's on playstation though, not on lame xbox! Lol cringey ponies.
Ok, ok - this comment was in no way intended to flame the "Me Console Best!" crap. I play on whatever has the games I want to play (privileged I know, but I have no allegiance is the point). I'm just tired of being told beforehand that the upcoming "Whatever Showcase" will feature primarily in-game footage and then being shown what basically is a scripted cinematic, just using some doctored up in-game assets. And Microsoft is not alone in this garbage, just the latest offender. I understand marketing and putting your best foot forward, but trying to build hype for hype's sake without showing what the game actually will be in your hands is shallow at best.
I’m getting the feeling that…since it’s a “reboot” and a new studio and so much time has passed, that it’s a brand new game of it’s own kind just sort of using the Fable brand.
Series x captured or not, it’s a cutscene lol. The vibe was also kinda weird imo. Like, are we taking part in existing fables and stories?
Great video and love the trails music in the Backround
Hey Matty thanks for pumping out all this extra content lately! So much to watch woo!!
I think new Fable reminds people of new Saints Row and that's why they are on the fence about it.
Is that Trails music i hear in background? 👀
A remastered collection would be cool to get to hold us over till this game releases.
The backslash is against the woke monstrosity character
Playground is notorious for beautiful visuals, this is their first time creating a game outside of racing games. But I have full faith in them cause this looked fantastic! I hope that we still have the option to grow old and have kids lol

Hi Matt, have you played the ff16 demo?
Mass effect has a voiced character that you create😏.
What I got from the fable trailer, It looks like they're going to use the a similar combat system as old fable games with them showing them going from sword to magic. Also it looks like they're going to lean into using actual fables in the story by showing the beanstalk and giant. Just my observation 🤷🏾♂️
The Fable trailer was simply a vibe/theme showing, I believe. Honestly, at this point in time, im not worried about it. I still anticipate humor, fantasy/mystery, create-a-character, a fairly explorable world. Even though it was the most limited, Fable 1 was the most atmospheric and fantasical to me. I hope that capture the feel I got from 1 again.
I’ll be very surprised if this game turns out well with the current mainstream mindset
it will flop
It's a tough balance, as these PR/marketing teams have to showcase games that might not be ready to be effectively demonstrated with gameplay. So they either have to not show anything or show what they have at that point in time, which in some cases, might not be ready for prime time for what gamers are expecting in terms of comprehensive gameplay detail and mechanics.
We need everything that made Fable 2 special, not just "British Humor".
Matty...phil's comment on "collections of games" wasn't about a collection of remakes. He was just saying there are a bunch of games coming. You read to deeply into things sometimes lol.
My main issue with the trailer is that i was hoping for something that would clarify and answer questions left by the previous trailer but all it did was left me more puzzled than I was before. The graphical fidelity is great but other than that it's just weird to me.
One question that left me confused
Is the Vegetable Guy a Giant or is the Hero supposed to be tiny??
He's a giant.
The female hero climbs up the bean-stalk to get to his giant house. (might be the early part/tutorial part of the game or just a side-mission... who knows but seems like it'll be apart of the final game)
Dave is supposed to be a giant. As proven by his growing veg which were those huge pumpkins.
I think games that are releasing beyond this year they're saving what they show until the next developer direct showcase probably beginning of next year. I think Hellblade 2 and Avowed will be part of the next DD early 2024 and Fable at the next summer showcase like you said.
I am just glad we actually got something. I at the least wished for a glimpse and no CGI, we got exactly that, a glimpse. And the dev confirmed it was all ingame running on XSX. The part in the forest and when she's being chased by the giant are gameplay. Of course I wished they had more, I won't deny that.
Also when she throws that fireball🤌🏽
@@MartinPerez-cd9uq That's what I meant with forest. ;)
The part near the end where she kicks the chicken too, it looks amazing.
@@bigkabuto agreed . Initially the direction and Tone of this trailer worried me, but after each viewing my inner guild youngling gets amped for Beatles. 😆

Hopefully, and I'm on my knees here, BEGGING! That it will hopefully not be like that giant puddle of bullsh*t.
Then again, when you look at the trailer and read about writers vision for the game... Well it doesn't install me with a lot of confidence.
I like that they are potentially going back to the sword and magic fantasy style. I much preferred Fable 1 😁
The dislikes aren't just because people thought it was a CGI trailer. It's also fair to mention we still don't see actual gameplay, as in, the game being played, not just a part of an animation.
Lol it was alot of gameplay. It's wild yall can't tell this. That's a compliment to the team. No back n pay attention it's alot of in game play. The giant fight was actually gameplay. The fire ball throw was gameplay. Her jumping throw the fire was in game cut scene like in a say spiderman
@@unclemike2k I didn't say it wasn't in-game, I said it isn't gameplay. It hurts me how poorly you're mimicking what you've heard everyone else respond with, and RUclips tagged it as spam so I only happened to come across is just now.
Gameplay implies that the game is seen being played, not a clip of an animation used in gameplay, not someone seeing a realtime cutscene, not scripted events, but actual gameplay. A clip of a fireball being shot isn't gameplay, it's a clip of an animation used in gameplay, because we don't get to see the "play" part of it.
I didn't like or dislike what I saw.
All I got from it was "We're still getting Fable".
I also wouldn't consider what they showed gameplay.
I put cutscenes and CGI trailer pretty close together.
I don't think we saw a single ounce of real gameplay in that trailer.
I think we only saw a mix of CGI and cutscene, which technically makes Phil true to his word, but in a way that makes you roll your eyes.
Also, if we're still going to go with the "PlayStation show was bad" narrative, can we at least be more honest.
If we are counting the Fable trailer as "gameplay" then we have to count the PlayStation games as gameplay.
Sure, some were just CGI, but a lot of them were cutscene+CGI.
Alan Wake, for example, showed gameplay, but not real time gameplay, but it was gameplay none the less, because we saw the same gameplay section extended(plus Alan walking is also gameplay).
Xbox also didn't only show games exclusive to its platform, so PlayStation can't be knocked points for the same thing.
I won't argue the PlayStation Showcase was better because the Xbox one was truly better, but I'm suck of hearing the PlayStation one getting called bad, when in reality it's roughly equal the the Summer Games Fest Showcase(which was also great).
There were some short snippets of actual gameplay there, like with the fireball, but we can't really draw much information from that. It was something like 95% cutscene 5% gameplay.
@roddbroward9876 I'd still consider that basically not showing gameplay because it was indistinguishable from everything else.
1) The trailer being an in-game engine product is cool, but still would have been nice to see in-game gameplay instead
2) Love that you let people know that they're hiring, a great opportunity for someone to get their start in the industry, and for such a big project.
3) I don't think Fable is coming till after 2024
2025 - 2026 most likely knowing how much time it took from hellblade 2 to released if it released in 2024. Also yes No real gameplay in fable.
I'm taking more note the fact that it wasn't revealed whether it was in engine footage or pre-rendered cutscenes, because there are plenty of games that have pre-rendered cutscenes (even in-game cutscenes) that look nothing like the game. Pretty much all strategy games like Civilization and Tropico coke to mind. Look at the old Halo games. Those "in-game" cutscenes from the MCC collection still look amazing for today's standard, but that's not what the game looks like.
U takin crack dev told u they turned off hud to give u feel for gsme
Music in the background of the video around the four minute mark please 🙏
PS fan here, I have to say I do love Fable games. I do hope this game does very well, cause I wanna get it.
Having Richard Ayode as the giant boosted it 100pts for me!
Same!
So it went from -400 to -300 pts? It’s still a hard pass.
Wil it be on xbox one or just xbox series x
The fireball spell animation looks a little clumsy. I wonder if that animation changes the higher you level up the spell?
I thought Fallout 4 was really good voiced, but I know this is an unpopular opinion
I definitely prefer voiced protagonists in RPGs, but I'll concede FO4 didn't optimize it very well. Mass Effect is a good example of it done well.
I have never been so confused about a trailer in my life, that is all i can say.
@@carolinagamer2874 as a gamer myself I can say gamers are whinny as hell lol.
@@carolinagamer2874 Gamers don't know what they want.
@CarolinaGamer28 its not gameplay they honestly should have just made it a gameplay trailer.
It’s clear that most developers have realized that they gain nothing from showing actual raw gameplay more than a year out from the game. Odds are either the frame rate or visuals won’t be polished that far in advance and there is no reason to get negative reactions from something that isn’t final. There is a reason Sony didn’t show much from God of War Ragnarok or Spider-Man 2 until they were just a few months away from release.
Metaphor re fantazio did.
The only Fable I want these days is the Story of William Black. Imagine playing as William, the original Hero and ultimately the first Archon. Seeing those ancient Old Kingdom Ruins from Fable 1 in their glory, defeating The Court, going against Jack of Blades, Knight of Blades, and the Queen of Blades. The fights between those four are canonically, earth shattering. It would be so cool.
Even if that portion would be a prequel/on rails first act, followed by you taking the reigns of William Black's first, nameless/faceless direct bloodline descendant. That way we can experience this awesome side of Fable Lore, stay true to the Fable "Be anyone, do anything" style of story telling, developing a whole new story and new Heroes while also going back to the games roots.
It's called ESG
Bro what

@@ArtOfDyingWellI know. I have no clue where you’re getting that from? 😅
Yup.. you know the "modern audience "
@@josiahmccallister3150 Look it up I can't do your homework
Every day i'm becoming more convinced that Netherrealm and Gunfire Games are the only studios that actually have a clue as to what their audience expects to see from the marketing of their games.
Hell Gunfire took it a step further even flew out Admiral Bahroo for an uninterrupted 2 hour livestream showing off the Remnant 2 and did the same for the first game. Throw in Netherrealms Kombat Kast and yeah, take notes devs. These guys know how to do it
In other words, you want to see characters you can beat it to.
Who?
Do you work for these people or something?
Just something to say but I don't think this game suggested 2024 at all. All of the other games that are actually aiming for 2024 were stated to be in the year. I believe in your showcase recap you also mentioned Fable being in 2024. It kind of comes off as misinformation. If it does fantastic but as of now it doesn't have a public window
I don't think that the trailer being in-engine changes anything (at least not for me), the problem with CG trailers isn't that they are not in-engine, it's that they show you how the game is going to play and look when you actually play it. A cinematic trailer in-engine is still not a reflection of how the game will actually look when you play, and it's definetly not an indication of how it will play.
This is ultimately the problem.
I love a voiced protagonist. I go go through the trouble of making the perfect character, I want to see them interact in cutscenes, and to me, voiceless makes less sense. Like when you play GTAO or rdo and your character just awkwardly nods and shrugs, it's super weird. Granted, those are not RPGs and more MMOs than anything else. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I loved inquisition and saints row 2&3 and in those games you could choose your voice, I don't know. Lol
Same I'm always in the minority of preferring voiced protagonists in RPGs, provided there are some diverse options to choose from and the dialogue doesn't suffer as a result. Inquisition and the Saints Row games did it best by having a wide range of voices with different accents. I even enjoyed the FO4 voice, especially their delivery of the sarcastic lines. I get that having a voiceless character allows for more dialogue options and gives people a sense of immersion but for me it does the opposite. It just kinda feels hollow, like your character is just a silent observer not a present part of the events. Can you imagine how different that would've made Mass Effect feel? Yeah no thanks. But to each their own I guess.
I prefer voiceless. Or letting us choose a voice we like for the character we want to play as Saints Row style. Play a man with a woman’s voice, a woman with a man’s voice and play as Dr. Girlfriend from Venture Bros.
Whoever designed the giant, made a weird design choice?
It's because it looks like the person who's voice acting it
I think Xbox was reserved because they DO plan to do directs down the line. I fully expect another direct in February next year, with a focus on Hellblade which will probably release in March. Then cover other games coming out between February-June. Then in June have your big showcase and then do a deep dive on whatever the big end of year game is. Perhaps have another direct in the fall if need be. They created a production studio for a reason beyond just summer showcases.
That was cinematic purely not game play. It was a trailer only
It wasn't just cinematics there was also a scene in a pub and the character interact with an npc.
The ugly character was painful to watch
This year and next year is gonna be CRAZY for Xbox, I really hope these games don’t get delayed, and they update us on the games next year that weren’t updated on this year
@Mars God aaaaand what do y’all have for next year? Oh wait… nothing… you do know that without Spider-Man, somy would be trash and PlayStation would be trash? You know that right? You obviously didn’t watch the showcase so go be ignorant somewhere else boy
No idea why he said likely 2024 release, Xbox did not indicate that
@@DaxterKing not sure but most of these games are coming next year. The line up is gonna be awesome
Curious if Fable and Hellblade possibly weren’t originally planned to be at this showcase, but with the release of Redfall and Sony leaving an opening, XBOX pushed and got at leasr something from these two to show
Why did the giant have hipster clothes on? He looks like the nerd character from the bad saints row.
