You'll be "pissed off" by Fable III reveal News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

8 February, 2010

Peter Molyneux has said to expect more details on Fable III at this week's X10 event in San Francisco, and warned that people are going to be "super pissed off".

"We're making some announcements about Fable III and there's some... Wow, there's some very, very big things happening in Fable. Bigger than you think. And it's going to really upset people," he told Gamereactor (thanks VG247).

"I'm really scared when I go out and tell people what it is they're going to get super pissed off, they really are. But it's the right thing to do man, I'm sure it's the right thing to do."

Fable III, announced at gamescom last year, plunges Albion into the industrial age. Read our exclusive preview from last summer to find out more.

Molyneux, who founded developer Lionhead and is now creative director of Microsoft Games Studios Europe, also confirmed that everything he shows will be part of the game. "Absolutely, for sure," he said, "and I'll demonstrate it."

So if we feed 'people are going to be really pissed off' through the Molyneux filter, we probably get 'some people will be mildly bothered', right?

i have a feeling he will harp on about all the "choices" you can do, how it might as well be real life. then after about an hour chatting he will show some pretty cute-sy scene with some with very stereotypical english accent, and that will be that

hmm. announcing to the the world that he is about to 'piss them off big time'... PR genius or a case of Molyneux desperately needing a (new) filter between his mouth and his brain?

So, if we are going to be pissed of by the X10 announcement, we should be excited about that?

Why exactly?

Maybe he should've just said "Don't bother"...

Using Natal tech you have to smile and frown to perform all actions, except smiling and frowning which must be actioned using different dance styles. Dancing with your charaterhowever requires use of the original 360 pad.

Considering the game is supposed to be with you as King, if he's turned Fable into a RTS then damn right everyone's going to be pissed off! Probably gonna be some kind of Natal guff though.

I guess he can go ahead an piss every fable fan off, seeing as after fable 2 I'm no longer any kind of fable fan. A conversation system that simply spammed emoticons at people with no real meaning and a game that lasted about 6 hours from start to finish was the final straw for me. As far as I'm concerned anyone raving about these games has probably never actually played them.

"I've killed off all of the interesting characters, brought back the guild master, Hammer will follow you everywhere and Jonathan Ross is voicing everyone in the game!" Molyneux at X10

You control the Dog using Natal...

Peter, in the article I had written a while back about Zelda, I mentioned that you had learned from you past mistakes of mismanaging fan expectations. Please don't prove me wrong, ok?

I'll be really disappointed if come reveal time, I'm honestly not pissed off!

I can't for the life of me think of a decent reason why we'd be moved enough to be pissed off... unless of course he proudly states that about 3/4 of the way through the game you get screwed over by an optional side quest that suddenly renders the rest of the game broken as was the case with my Fable 2 experience.

Perhaps it's set in 1992 in Grimsby and to gain money you have to work in McDonalds, sweep train stations and serve drinks at the local disco.

The last game was all about you feeling love, this game's all about you feeling pissed off and despondent. Natal support and the world of Albion has become a mini game collection. You tour the world and give high fives and thumbs up; to everyone you see, or if you're bad you do a farting gesture.

I bet it was a really tough career choice for Molyneux whether to go into games development or games PR.

I wonder what would've happened if he'd stuck with the former.. ;)

It's a sci-fi space opera, and the dog is that one from the 1970s Battlestar Galactica series.

Molyneux article. Queue yet another 50 posts of people complaining.

My bet is it will be Natal/God Game as these have already been announced.

Don't care as long as it's a great game.

I have a feeling it will be another strategy game coming up, with influences from Populous and Black & White.

Fable 1 was a bit of an oddity for me, it was ok but seemed very basic and not much to do. Fable 2 was better but the money system was broken... I'd hate to think how much money I'd get if I turned the game on now. Also it still seemed to be quite a hollow experience. So what could annoy us about Fable 3? The same empty gameplay experience? That would piss me off!

Hopefully the game will follow a tighter story and customisation will be kept to a minimum.

Ask the people at Nintendo, if you can tempt them away from counting all their money.

Let me guess... this time you play as that dog and that little boy you groom on Natal is a playable character too. Oh and their is no combat or spells at all.

He must mean they're going to announce a six month delay so that they can actually test Fable III rather than go gold with the beta code.

It's a PS3 exclusive!

Not only that, but Fable 2 will cease working on the 360 after Molyneux's speech. Molyneux is, and always has been, Kazuo Hirai in disguise.
