>[...] our inside sources tell us that the much anticipated Fable reboot (in development since 2018) has also been cancelled as part of Microsoft's big round of layoffs [...]

Damn.

lol she is ugly

good riddance

Gonna need a source on that - seems like people on social media are touting that several MS studio games are being cancelled. Just saw someone report that Blade by Arkane is cancelled but deleted the report immediately after.

But for real, if this really is the case, what the fuck does MS have to show for this & next year other than Gears/CoD?

>hire the studio that only makes crappy racing game to make a fantasy life simulator game
>game is in dev hell
gee....who could have guessed

Xbox releases jackshit on the 360 after the kinect era started
they released jackshit on the xbox one
and they are not doing much now after hiring a million people over 8 years ago now

>>714288293
Yeah Microsoft would never cancel a game.

This is it. This is the industry crash weve been waiting for. We’re living through it right now

Ugliest character I have ever seen, can't pinpoint what makes xim so repulsive, maybe cause it looks like a tranny

>>714287808 (OP)
They're not even bothering to go broke anymore, it's just get woke get cancelled.

>>714287808 (OP)
i didnt even know there was a fable reboot in development
looking at that image makes me wish i remained ignorant

>>714287808 (OP)
>2018
wtf have they been doing?

>>714287808 (OP)
LOL

Are the suits getting scared and cancelling all the ugly women games?

>development since 2018

Is this the pattern? AAA western devs toil away for fucking ever, produce nothing, then the game is cancelled? Not a single person at these companies gives a shit about the product, and seem to treat it like a giant welfare program for women. This is like the 10th example of this?

Westerners seem incapable of producing ANYTHING right nwo.

>>714289152
Women are the primary victims of game cancellation. Well, the ugly ones at least.

>>714289152
>Are the suits getting scared and cancelling all the ugly women games?
It's funny they'd rather throw away hundreds of millions of dollars instead of telling their devs to stop making everything so gross

>>714288347
What does that have to do with there being no source? It should be easier to find one if Microsoft cancels all of these games, no?

>>714287808 (OP)
>much anticipated
I'd like to see the evidence for this.

Chuds just can't stop winning.

Past Microsoft were smarter

"They were going, you can't have a black person on the cover, and you can't have a woman," McCormack said. "And you want a black woman. And I was like, yes, I do, because it's about be whatever hero you want. No. It's a white guy. That's just the way it is. We know what sells and that's fucking it. Stop the arguing. I was like, fuck you! That was a huge fight.

"They said, what's the most unsuccessful Disney film? I was like, I don't know. They went, Princess and the Frog. Work it out. I was like fuck you, man. I hated it.

"I was screaming at them in conference calls. I lost it at that point, because they just weren't getting the game. Especially because we were the first ever game that had gay marriage, we were about breaking down walls. It was meant to be funny and mature. They just took none of it and just did the usual white guy with a sword on the front. Damn it! You missed the point!"

>Westerners seem incapable of producing ANYTHING right nwo.
How are you supposed to make anything when a substantial percentage of people working on any given product are diversity hires while the rest are working in fear of reprisal from HR.

>>714290772
The leftist screams as he his confronted with reality.

Would be funny if true
Probably actually true, becuase they didn't show anything looking like a game in years
So this game is/was in development hell

>>714287808 (OP)
BUT WTF I DID LITERALLY NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!

>>714290868
The COD studios are getting layoffs, Xbox is just over

>>714288306
Still not as bad as
>Buy studio known for Black & White and Fable
>Make them kinect slaves
>Finally allow them to make a Fable game again
>It's multiplayer only co-op shit
>Cancel the game and close the studio

>>714291101
Well, to be fair the last good CoD came like 13 years ago

>>714290772
Man leftists really all just have some kind of wannabe civil rights hero syndrome huh? This shit reads like a narcissist being denied his chance to push a message and be given clout than someone who wants actual change

>>714287808 (OP)
What a nice source you have there OP!

>>714287808 (OP)
thank god. didn't want to see the discourse over this ugly skank all over again.

>>714287808 (OP)
I never liked fable so this is just good news.

Chuds in the video gaming space won so goddamn hard if this ends up being real.

I don't remember seeing Fable there
I truly hope this is true. Fuck leftists, fuck trannies amd fuck jews.

>>714287808 (OP)
GOOD
KYS LMAO

>>714290772
Based Microsoft. This was pretty much the only time they directly interfered with a studio (according to Ex-Rare employees M$ just lets them do whatever and gives them whatever rope they want to hang themselves).

Also
>we were the first game ever to have gay marriage
Fallout 2 had it. For that matter, I am sure somehow that faggot larper, Richard Garriot pushed it into an ultima game somewhere.

Money laundering at its finest

>>714287808 (OP)
i can understand Perfect Dark but i doubt they'll cancel Fable, they're showing it for years

>>714287808 (OP)
And I laughed, and I laughed.

>>714289152
>seem to treat it like a giant welfare program for women.
No seemingly about it. That's exactly what it is. An entire hobby and associated industry usurped

Ngl, I liked Fable, even 3 so I was somewhat interested in a new game.

>>714292594
The truth is, the majority of human labour hasn't been needed since the early 00's.
But you can't just force half of the population back into subservience.
So what do you do? Well, you create a bunch of bullshit jobs and place them in there.
Why else do you think HR departments are so huge?

no molyman no play anyway

>>714287808 (OP)
extremely overwhelmingly sad news

AA and indie games won

Fable II was the only good one

>>714292546
Haven't they only shown cutscenes?

>>714288293
It wont be killed today but its going up against GTA VI. my guess is that theyll make that decision next year

I hope so. I'm really tired of seeing past series I loved turned into repulsive mockeries. Microsoft's stupid ass shouldn't have killed Lionhead in the first place, or force them to work on shitty Kinect spin-offs and stuff if they actually cared about these franchises.

It's a fucking troon model

>>714287808 (OP)
i mean, there was no game. it was just shitty cinematic trailers. I'm not surprised they didn't have a game to release considering they had absolutely nothing to show

>>714287808 (OP)
Absolutely no one cares.

idk about fable but perfect dark has been cancelled for real, the initiative is closed

That's a requirement. You can't be liberal and just throw your hands up and say that's it, we achieved everything we wanted to achieve, so now we just rest and take it easy. To be liberal, yoy must always have a new battle ahead of you, a new frontier to conquer. Some new downtrodden cunt you need to save.
