New Fable III art shows Bowerstone News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios has offered an artist's impression of Bowerstone in Fable III.
Gone are the bright, sunny alleys, replaced by the smoggy streets of an industrialised city. Burning barrels provide canal-side light as chimneys puff smoke onto the scene.
Fable III is due out next year and will revisit the Albion of Fable II. This time, however, you'll be king or queen, changing the land according to the set of morals you live by.
Among the ambitious features earmarked for the game are Natal support and micro-transactions.
Check out our early preview for an idea of what Peter Molyneux hopes to conjure.

Really hope the SteamPunk style filters through quite a lot of the game and not just patched in here and there.
Can we get a steam engine in the shape of a dog? There could be a "shovel coal" mini game to make him run faster, you can decide where it goes.

Oh good: they've taken one of 360's most fantastical realms ... and made it bland-FPS-grey.

Maybe Lionhead is gonna charge us for in game tins of brightly coloured paint to slap everywhere?
That Peter is clearly a friggin genius - in game paint 20p a tin (50p for gold or silver) and then you use Natal and an included roller to spruce the place up! Finish work / go home / have tea / turn on 360 / paint Bowerstone. Kill me please. |

"Among the ambitious features earmarked for the game are Natal support and micro-transactions."
That last bit I'm not looking forward too... Please Mr. Molyneux, we don't want to pay £1 for a better sword or £5 for some armour for our dog, just let us earn rewards through progression in the game by, you know, playing it!! Other than that I've enjoyed the last two Fable games and will look forward to a third, it will be interesting to see how they go about integrating Natal and whether it will be a revolutionary game changing experience, or rather less spectacularly, just the ability to 'stroke' your pet dog or something... |

Well, as someone who played Fable II about 1.5 times and is unlikely to touch it again, I am not sure what to think of this anymore.
Natal support doesn't interest me in the slightest, and micro-transactions are frankly offputting. So currently I'm not sure I will want to buy this game... at that unspecified point in the future when the concept art has become an actual game - something capable of delivering on the hype. Speaking of which, for all I know I'll be too busy playing Dragon Age, still, to even look at this, so it may be a moot point. |

Wasn't one of the ideas that, as king, you can increase industrial development at the expense of the countryside, or favour nature at the expense of economic growth?

I think you have to be very narrowminded to be put off by micro-transactions. They are of course optional, and we don't even know what they will be. Same goes for natal. No ones sure how it will work in fable. It might add a pinch more fun??
More Fable is a surely a good thing, I and II were both very good games, and we have no reason to suspect anything will change this time. |

Perhaps you'll be able to buy in-game gold with microtransactions? Spend hours pulling pints while that smug tosser says 'That's a perfect pint' after EACH FUCKING ONE, or hurl a fiver at Molyneux and go and buy decent stuff right away.

If they're spending development money on features that don't interest me, then it makes sense that the game is going to provide me with less value than it would some other player. I'm not saying it will be evil incarnate, just not interesting to me.

I'd like this game to take on a more caricatured style but only slightly in a similar vein as those found at the end credits of Fable2. I'd like some hydrolic/ steam powered rickity looking weapons as well. and please LESS GLOW! I literally played with sun glasses on in some sections. I miss the dog.
