Ross accidentally announces Fable III News
Xbox 360 News by Dan Pearson
Celebrity talker Jonathan Ross seems to have inadvertently confirmed the development of Fable III on his Twitter, claiming he's been offered a voice-over role.
"Tweeting" after last night's BAFTA shindig, the British TV and radio star wished his gossip-hungry fans goodnight with this message: "Goodnight all. Must go to bed. Got asked to do voice in Fable 3 tonight. Subarashi. Oyasuminasia. Woss out."
When asked to confirm the slip by a fellow Tweeter, Ross proclaimed, "Yes they are doing it. Charlie Brooker said he would do a voice for it to! Great fun!!"
Chagrin had set in by this morning, however, as the floppy-fringed charmer posted: "Good morning. Today I must file DVDs, write a piece for The Times, apologize to Peter Molyneux then go Thorpe Park for SAW rollercoaster!" When quizzed on the nature of the apology, Ross revealed that it was "because I think I revealed something that was not officially announced yet..."
Not officially perhaps, but don't beat yourself up over it, Jonathan. Lionhead would have been mad not to follow up on the success of its Xbox 360 RPG Fable II.
Microsoft was unavailable for comment on the issue.

Please make it so that you can torture both Ross and Brookers' characters in the game. How about employing some decent voice acting talent rather than spunking wads of cash at "celebrities" who'll phone in their performances. Oh, that won't help sales, will it? Can't put some garish bold text listing the 'talent' involved in the game. Spend the money on making the game sell itself, Molyneux, not ligging! /RANT mode off |

perhaps it's another expansion, I don't expect Wossy to be too techie to understand the difference. Seems a bit early to be doing VO work for a title that's not even annouced

Didn't Peter Molyneux already annouce that they would be doing a third one himself, quote was something like "We've got plans for Fable 3, 4, and 5"

Rossy is pretty techie. Check out his Twitter. He's quite a big gamer. Owned loads of consoles and definitely knows what he's talking about. I personally love the man!

Get over it allready with the Ross bashing. He made a mistake, none of you ever made one? i know i have made plenty. Fable 3 should be quality just like the last 2.

Ah yes, Jonathan Ross, that MASSIVE FAN OF GAMES.
Maybe just mixing up "Fable 3" and "Falble DLC Number 3"? |

I like Jonathan Ross. It'll be good to have him in the game, especially as he's a gamer himself. |

He has an Um Jammer Lammy arcade in his house, and was considering dressing up as Parappa for the BAFTA's.
Woo, so he knows about two characters from the same PSOne game... That shows knowledge! |

seaside, why are you so against the fact that he could actually like games like the rest of us? Hell, a year ago he spent about 5 minutes on his radio show talking about Garry's Mod.

Wow some really anti Woss people in here. Woss is actually a really big nerd at heart, he's a massive comic book and anime fan and however much you try to deny it does have good knowledge of games.

Wasn’t Ross a squaddie in Halo 3?
Plus anyone going on about the whole phone call debacle, stop and think, do you really wish to side yourselves with the right wing Daily Mail reading idiocy that prevails when an old man is slightly offended? |

I liked that answer seaside and therefore all my hatred for you has gone in an instant. The truth is key.

Anyone still harping on about how Ross is evil is a mental case. He made a minor error, and then the bloody masses got their teeth into it and it became a ridiculous witchunt.
I'm not particularly a fan of him, I like his film reviews, his talk show is hit and miss. But what happened after that radio gaff was utterly ridiculous. Peopl retrospectively offended by a radio show they hadn't even heard? It was one of those moments that made me think "Yes, I'm right to be this cynical. Most people are just monkeys in pyjamas. Point them in the right direction and give them a target they will convince themselves they actually feel passionate about something". |

@kangarootoo:
He did that thing earlier than the Russel Brand phonecall that made everyone hate him as well. Was possibly during the 90s, I've forgotten what it was though. |

"This twitter thing has to be the most egotistical application ever.
I mean, who fucking cares? Somebody, obviously." Well the same could be said of us wittering (see what I did there) away on here day after day. |

"He did that thing earlier than the Russel Brand phonecall that made everyone hate him as well. Was possibly during the 90s, I've forgotten what it was though." Well so long as we remember we are supposed to hate him thats the main thing, even if we can't remember why... ;) |

That's true anough kangarootoo. True enough. But I am stuck at a desk all day. I'm sure if I was a major celeb I'd have better things to do? They probably pay someone to update it?
I just find the whole. Jonsaan is......incredibly tired after an amazing night out with the stars because I'm so popular and successful.....kind of thing absolutely vulgar. |

@jonsaan
I agree in part, but I think we should selectively blame the workmen rather than the tools. Stephen Fry asking followers how best to deal with a bat in his kitchen is fair use. P Diddy talking about holding an oscar in the bubble bath deserves derision on a grand scale. There is something hugely egotistical about the majority of Twitter updates, I agree with you there. Just like perhaps to a lesser degree there is something egotistical about writing on here (my own often rather opinionated posts being a good case in point). A downside of the internet perhaps? That we CAN communicate with everyone makes us think we SHOULD, because that would mean we might have something to say that is unique to us. It maybe helps us avoid the realisation that none of us is really unique or special in any way (despite what our parents and the X-Factor might tell us). |

Yes, we're all guilty of (t)wittering the method is just different!
I used to think Ross was OK. But since then his ego has become too much for me to tune in to his material. And I find him the biggest sycophant. There were two breaking points for me, one when I watched him tell Pete Doherty that his latest album was his "album of the year" when he says that to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Another was watching him tell Simon Pegg that he thought he was "the most talented British actor of this generation". I mean, I liked Shaun of the Dead, but best -cough!- British actor - cough! - this coming from a nationally treasured film critic? |

This sounds nothing more than something said during a drunken after-show party. 9 times out of ten these things never materialize, I know, I’ve been in those situations myself plenty enough.
So to the people that can't stand Ross or are asking for his 'voice-work' to be kept to a minimal - don't get too bent out of shape before the game is officially announced , ok? :) And to this 'news'. Another sequel was pretty much inevitable really wasn't it? |
