>>717213373
You sure?
None of the old Fable games had that.

>>717212627 (OP)
>In early 2018, Eurogamer reported that Playground Games, renowned for their work on the Forza Horizon series, had initiated the development of the fourth installment in the Fable series.[5]

So we're now at year 7 of development with a supposed 2026 release date. I have zero faith in Western game devs, who can't seem to get anything right. Huge delays, huge budgets, and the game is either outright cancelled, or is a wet turd that comes out and is forgotten.

Western devs are literally incapable of just making a god damn game right now. It wasn't cancelled by Microsoft so they must have some faith in it, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's underwhelming or delayed again.

>>717212919
No I’m going to rape you.

>>717213652
i wonder what the bottleneck is, graphics or sheer incompetence? you could probably make a good game with 2010 graphics in 2 years using modern tools and resources but the average person would shit on it for its dated look

>>717213362
>its clear people just milk microsoft money for 10 years and then dip

We have past threads on this, but everyone top to bottom isn't interested in making games, just advancing themselves and job security.

>studio heads

They set up the studio with the hopes some sucker like Microsoft, Sony, or Bandai would buy them so they'd get a golden parachute to riches. Much faster than actually trying to make something successful with 10 years of work, when you can get more money from a buyout in 2-4.

>devs

They know they get cycled out when the game is done, and don't care about the game. They are trying to justify their wages and job to keep their job.

Just no one cares. That's why they can't do anything.

>>717213373

>>717212627 (OP)
So theyre just going to reuse the Forza Horizon 4 map?

>>717213652
>>717213839
they released forza horizon 5 in 2021, anons.

>>717213839
Everything is taking 8+ years now. If Fable comes out in 2026, it'd be exactly 8 years.

>layoffs

It's common practice to lay everyone off when a job is done, in part so that no one gains any senior position, and then replace them with fresh uni grad who are desperate for work. This means NO ONE has any idea what they're doing and are total amateurs. This is a short sighted cost saving measure but it has huge awful rammifications.

>Unreal

Another consequence of this. No one knows any native engines, and if everyone is trained on Unreal then you can just slot in randoms to get the job done. Unreal is huge, bloated, and unwieldly, and is why a game has 10x the amount of requirements but looks worse than a 2015 game. Workers go from "talented people with unique skillsets" to "Unreal drone #3433"

this game will have 0 life sim elements anbd will be a shallow shitty rpg with le humor. will be nothing at all like fable and will have th same fate as crackdown 3

>>717212627 (OP)
How come they never show off the character creator? There is one, right?

>>717213839
when a fable fan sees something like op image they immediately think 'this looks like witcher or kingdom come'. this is the equivalent of turning psychonauts into life is strange. there had to be people passionate about the idea of working on fable. the infighting at the company for the art direction of the game alone took years off. some people probably tried to make stylized graphics, while lower skilled workers filled the game to an irreplaceable level of stock assets and photoscans. the people who wanted something good quit, and at this point they are just going to send it

>>717213373
There have been plenty of character creators that make it hard to make beautiful characters

>>717213839
>graphics or sheer incompetence
The story has probably been rewritten at least 5 times now

>>717214321

>>717213373
There's no word that there is character creation/male option, retard, it's all wishful thinking. Unless there's enough backlash Microsoft is going all in on a ugly mutt female protagonist. And chances are even if there's a male option, it will be an ugly mutt too, because it's likely going to be customization, not full on character creation.

>>717216157
She's based on a specific model so it's not a character created face, but a person. Maybe she's a default and you can make one?

BUT CAN YOU PLANT A TREE?

>>717215516
>Berger

>>717213591
no, he's talking out of his ass. based on what we've seen of the trailers the protagonist is set, she is modeled after a real person. you'll only customize stuff like hair like before. there's a chance there will be a male option unless Microsoft is still fucking retarded, but there's no guarantee that won't be an ugly mutt too.

>>717215516

>>717216212
The trailer presents her as her own character in the cutscene, with dialogue and detailed facial animations. I know other games have had your custom characters talk in cutscenes but not with this level of refinement. best we can hope for is a male option, like with assassin's creed odyssey.

Wow, what a conundrum. I'm sure this Indian-infested megacorporation that has shown no interest in changing their policies suddenly had a change of heart, and decided on replacing the ugly-ass MC they invested a lot of time and money into utilizing so we can have a character creator that will neither have the now industry standard "Body Type A / Body Type B" nor the utter lack of attractive character options.

Mmh, yes. I'm sure Fable 4 is going to be good. Every other Fable game for the last 15 years have been bangers, and every trailer that's been shown so far suggests this is a hit.

The character is ugly and "slow walk through a gorgeous terrain" means nothing after Starfield did that too.

People are exhausted on playing ugly brown "female-presenting" persons. I'm tired of it. You're tired of it. We're all tired of it. I'm not buying Fable 4 simply for that. I want to play a white man, I want him to be handsome, and I want to have women to fuck.

Yes, that's the point I was making. Starfield did the same, "slow-walk through a visually intensive area" and everyone knows that, in practice, the game fucking sucked and those "gorgeous sights" meant nothing.

Like, look at Bowerstone. While the slow up-pan might make you go, "woah!" Consider the actual gameplay that would undoubtedly be happening there. Fucking nothing. It's all fancy nonsense designed to hide a desert of content.

>>717218420
What gets me is how this was labeled "pre-alpha". Alpha usually refers to the very first "playable" version of the game, where enough basic systems are implemented that you can have a debug room or something of that nature where you can trigger all the various types of game interactions like combat, picking up items, platforming, or whatever is involved. Usually in alpha state, there's almost no good visuals yet and everything is considered placeholder. Yet, this looks like the complete reverse. Makes me think the final product could be radically different from what they showed.

>>717213937
I mean when you put it that way, it sounds like AAA's equivalent of the Patreon shuffle, except you don't even get a playable early access game out of it.

>>717213967

Yeah, there's a REASON why OP didn't show her face. That's kino alright, but not the kind that I think OP is trying to sell us.

They're going to get laid off before the game even comes out.

>>717223883
>Game is getting shitcanned if the rumors of it getting delayed until 2027 are true.

seriously? Is there a plague that made AAA devs unable to do anything? The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are eating their shit simply because they release functional games.

>>717212627 (OP)
Can they show gameplay instead of a character walking around in an environment? This looks like fucking shit.

whoa.. it's generic fields

>>717227681
Demoralization from project based layoffs regardless of quality of work. All talent being paid better in other software dev positions. Extra layers of non functional bloat. Getting 'jeeted, and having to match that tempo. Highly motivated polymath superstars going indie. Metoo knocking out a bunch of talent and creating an entire additional layer of useless fuckers.

That's just the short version.

>>717227857
Obviously not because they dont' have gameplay, and whatever gameplay they have, it's far more important to get the biracial represntation right.

>Obviously not because they dont' have gameplay, and whatever gameplay they have, it's far more important to get the biracial represntation right.
I just looked up that they're trying to use the Forza engine for this, that's hilarious. Reminds me of when Bioware had to use Frostbite for Dark Age Inquisition and figure out how to make an RPG in an engine that was only used for FPS and bad racing games.

>>717227613
God willing

>>717212627 (OP)
I thought this got canceled?

>>717227681
>>717223883
If it gets delayed I think that's basically it for major Microsoft projects and AAA. They've more or less proven they can't do anything and can't release anything. GTAVI is also another game that was in dev hell forever, and only got out of it because of how big GTA Online is and they'd know they'd recoup the money.

It's all so insanely inefficient and stupid. I suspect we need major course correction. There may simply be too many god damn game studios and too many games all competing for the same slice of the pie.

>>717228245
Hopefully at least they have a good racing minigame in it. Ah who am I kidding.

>>717227681
in case of MS, too much freedom. There's no one to tard wrangle the studios so they just do whatever they feel like. And then there's the usual corpo ESG bullshit

You might be hitting on something, like the Perfect Dark trailer this might be FAKE. There's no actual gameplay and they just have a bunch of assets and they are animating the characters to look like combat.

Basically, the left losing the culture war will be the best thing to happen to western gaming. It needs a solid swift kick in the ass.

>>717228442
I do too, they really don't need Fable anymore due to having the Elder Scrolls series. I'm very sure Microsoft is also thinking this since that's a bigger more profitable series while Fable is a risky reboot.

>>717215516
If it looks like a cunt and sounds like a cunt…

Maybe Borderlands.

>>717232040
>Probably Ghost of Yotei as they added writers for Veilguard.

it might be some goofy shit with a "non-binary" lady samurai... but they did seem to be able to put out the last game without any problems so it'll probably come out.

The thing that's silly is that they always made sure in Japanese games about sword fighters, (ninja, assassins, samurai, etc) is they made sure that actual samurai were MEN. It was an aristocratic class. So this game has to be some weird alt-history where dykes can be samurai. The culture is super misogynistic.

>>717232878
Even in the fantastical or heavily stylized depictions the Japanese always made sure that Smaurai were never women, because by definition they were men. So you would see tons of female characters with weapons, like a ninja, or an assassin, but they were never "samurai".

For the japanese, a robot ninja is less silly than a female samurai.

So there's areas where you can have female characters. A lady Snowblood game would be neato, and kind of like a Hitman game.

They've been developing fable 4 under different guises since at least 2012 and each iteration was dubbed "not fun to play" after internal testing.
It's hard to say what's exactly going wrong but I think it's a combination of them believing they should just double down on the trajectory the series took, which is to dumb down already dumb action RPG even further and trying to add gimmicks that don't work.

You know with how bad the AAA industry is right now you'll probably need a 5090 with DLSS and max framegen enabled just to get 60fps at 1440p right? Fable games were never about the graphics and you get tell this game is going to be abhorrrant dogshit just by the (lack of) art direction.

Inefficient games = fewer can PLAY it. Therefore lower sales. Why can't these knumbskulls get that through their heads?

>>717251738
Ok but consider this: pc hardware is significantly more expensive than the games, by an order of magnitude at least, and cannot be pirated.
If nvidia pays the game developers to make their games less optimised they both benefit - nvidia gets to sell more products and video game developers have a guaranteed profit, which they cannot guarantee normally because modern games FUCKING SUCK.

I'll give you this one
>>third person generic gameplay
Fable has always been 3rd person.
You are just an election tourist 100%

>>717213967
Half these people posting in this thread are going to buy the game regardless of the offensively ugly character.

>2003: Hey there's this game, it's called Fable on Xbox! We made it and you should enjoy it.
>2025: To create a game called Fable you need 1000 people laboring for 8 years straight, the complexity is considered staggering, outside teams are brought in, the budget is over 200 million dollars, the project is considered a herculean task akin to the 12 labors

You literally can't just "make a game" now, it's some insane task that seems like it's rare if not impossible to actually compelte. Something major has to change.

>>717213967
They couldn't even bother with an mediocre looking female like Aloy. They had to go with something that could easily be mistaken for a man like Taash from Dragon Age.

>>717213373
Not only this is not confirmed, none of the other Fable games had a character creator. They haven't even confirmed a male option, as far as we know this thing is the protagonist.

>>717262836
You were able to pick between a male and female since Fable 2. There is no doubt it'll be the same. You're genuinely a tourist.

>british dev
Wouldn't it be illegal in that place to make an attractive female character? Like they would literally get the police at the studios and arrest everyone.

>>717262935
They can do whatever the fuck with the game since they're not even remotely the same devs. You're the faggot who thought there was a character creator. I swear leftists are so fucking retarded.

You have to be very politically motivated to buy this game. It will just be another Dragon Age 4/Avowed.

>>717263096
Im not that anon you fucking cunt.
But if you had been playing the Fable games instead of being a DEI doomposter tourist you'd know since Fable 2 you've been able to pick between a predetermined male and female character. Anyone saying character creator is also a fucking retard.

>>717262935
Surely they would be quick to confirm this considering the enormous backlash on the ugly female protagonist.

>>717263443
They've literally only shown off the game twice (Well once as the first one was just an announcement) and have never talked about the game at all.
Nobody knows anything.

>>717212627 (OP)
I just desperatly need it to be at least good and to not suck fucking ass

Isn't that what the guy said he wanted to do since the first Fable but Microsoft wouldn't let him?

>>717225638
It's fun but 100%ing it is where it's boring after completing the main story. Like all the Demon Doors just contain extra weapons or potions so what's the point? Fable 2 is fun but the story is crap. Haven't played 3 yet. But this new Fable looks like it's going to be the first game but female only.

>>717212627 (OP)
I'll pass

>>717213967
I like how this ugly bitch backed them into a corner. So much woke shit came and failed and shut down studios, they ended up delaying the game but can't replace her because that would be a chud victory.

>>717264748
You’ve been able to select male or female since Fable 2. No chance Microsoft would take a step back and lock it to one gender. You’re retarded.

>>717223626

>>717252863
wtf do you mean pre-rendered? it's made to look like gameplay. the implication is very clearly that these are in-game graphics. it says pre-alpha, not pre-rendered. they have to live up to this level of fidelity at launch or they get crucified like all the other woke flops of the last few years. or completely ignored like that shitty wizard shooter that was the first UE5 game or close to it. the one that ran at sub 720p on Series S.

>"In early 2018, Eurogamer reported that a fourth Fable game had started development, with video game studio Playground Games tasked by Microsoft to develop the game. Forbes reported on a video was leaked ahead of E3 2019 and it pertained to Fable by Playground Games.
>In September 2018, it was reported that Playground Games was hiring 177 positions for an open world RPG via Linkedin."

not entirely but it'll be a decade before they squeeze off whatever shit this'll turn out to be

>>717251286
It's actually chinese dudes.

>>717213839
Incompetence.
One, they have to find a way to monetize the game since every game has to make at least a billion dollars to be worth the effort, they haven't figured out how to do it while still actually having the game sell in the first place.
Second, they need to make a game people actually play. They have no idea how to make good AAA titles anymore since it needs to be "safe" and """accessible""" enough to appeal to an audience of people who have never played games before and have no existing interest in Fable or games generally. The only way to do that is make the game extremely generic, easy, and without any depth.
I think they at least realized that trying to make every game Skyrim doesn't work and doesn't sell so they are stuck in a dilemma where they do not have people competent enough to make a good game and also cannot just make an extremely generic, mediocre game sell well enough.

>>717216602
Well, instead of sociological critique or something like that, it's always about psychopaths like this guy here. Feminism was the counter culture of 60s and early 70s which applied to US originally etc but now it's a domain for corporations and lunatics. It's not even applicable like it was 60 years ago anyway. Times have changed...

>>717213967

>sluttiest depictions of women are always done by other women
hmmmmmmmmmm

Man, I'm not buying this shit. I'm not pirating this shit. I'm not going to play this even if it's given away for free. I had the same experience with Saints Row reboot. Nothing about it looks promising, the mongoloid protag aside.

>>717214321
Yeah I'm sure she uh, enjoyed that shitty movie. That's nerding out right

Since beauty and youth are tied together, when feminists "fix" character designs, they literally look older. The Concord characters for example all look 37 or older. People don't want geezer characters, they want somewhat idealized characters.

People can't always articulate this, but they feel something is off about these characters that are supposed to be 22 looking like they're pushing 40.

Fable girl looks a rough 38.

>>717225638
I view it the same way as I view Simpsons Hit and Run. Not the best game ever but consistently good the whole way through and short enough, even to 100%, that I can replay it every year or two and have a good time.

>Her article, which was influenced by the theories of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, is one of the first major essays that helped shift the orientation of film theory towards a psychoanalytic framework.[3]
>Mulvey incorporates the Freudian idea of phallocentrism into "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema". Using Freud's thoughts, Mulvey insists on the idea that the images, characters, plots and stories, and dialogues in films are inadvertently built on the ideals of patriarchies, both within and beyond sexual contexts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Mulvey

It's Freudian psycho-analysis by way of Jacques Lacan! This shit si considered completely out dated but Feminists latched onto it in the 70s. In any other field you'd be laughed up for bringing up Freud.

They present their ideas as is, and people foolishly start debating them, but you need to ask HOW they know any of this, and it's always some old dead eccentric fringe European author.

You can bet your ass that marketplace can't even hold the same amount of people as were present in Oakvale.

Say what you want, while Kojima is clearly blowing money on stupid celebrity cameos and other bullshit... his games are coming out on time and a fraction of what these other 400 million dollar disasters cost.

I legitimately think that people like Miyazaki and Kojima should just write guidebooks and make suggestions to AAA Western devs on how to re-organize and manage big projects because they clearly seem to have lost the plot.

>>717274351
And looking back, MGSV was a scandalous 80 million. So much of a scandal that konami just up and uprooted the entire game division instead of keeping up costs.

This however, included the cost to both produce the game AND develop a new engine for the game which could be used in future titles.

...was Kojima ahead of the curve? His games seem reasonable by today's standards. MGSV came out, made money, and actually was ahead of Konami's projections. The Fox Engine was then gonna be used for Silent Hills which given the excitement and how much RE7 sold, I think it was gonna be a big hit.

I still think his games are littered with wasteful spending, but they are never in dev hell for 8-12 years like today's games.
