Skinny Minnie Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 It looks like a really good game, Pleto! I think you and I were born under the same star-- we like the same kind of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefoot Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The website is really cool... now checking out the game itself... But I say the XBox logo... and I don't have the matching console (yet )... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamandMax Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 As a joke, they should suddenly cancel it for the X-Box, and then release it for the Game Gear. That'd be pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Originally posted by Skinny Minnie we like the same kind of games. *cheers* oh...this game i am waiting from the day it was released...i hope it has the freelance it suppose to have...and seems and not a face one and I don't have the matching console yep, that's so problematic (but i believe it was the only console it could be out, think the hard disk of X-box helped in many problems, like in Blinx) Anyway....X-box will be bought for 2 games...THIS and Psyconauts (hi moos ) As a joke, they should suddenly cancel it for the X-Box, and then release it for the Game Gear. That'd be pretty funny. LOL, don't say this thinks, Molyneux is one of those that can keep a game in production for years after the schedule day , so its a small possibility it will get out for X-Box 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aranolorion Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 the game/site look excellent. this one has been hyped a lot by the xbox press, so it will be interesting to see if it can stay on schedule, and importantly, deliver all it promises.

twifkak Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Website looks cool. Doesn't really portend my personality, though, as I was too busy unlocking all the different animations to put any of myself into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unfortunately incapable of lowering myself to that level of cheesiness as to come up with a repartee worthy of everyone's time... ...you dope.

Novel_T Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 While it was admittedly fun to shoot arrows at the minstral, I don't get why every action with the animations has to result in some form of gore. This is supposed to underscore the spectrum of depth in this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homoludens Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I actually found the gore rather funny, and truly in keeping with one of the original contexts of fairy tales and fables. If you study stories such as those from the Grimm brothers, Hansel & Gretel, Snow White, etc., you'll find a preponderance of violence, often with graphic descriptions. A friend once showed me a children's book he owned, published in Germany years ago. The illustrations graphically depicted what would happen when you disobey your elders, do the wrong things, and otherwise stray off the righteous path. And this was a children's book. Today we've been lead to believe that fairy tales are supposed to be clinically pure, innocent, and with nothing but happy endings. Bulls@#t. Blame Disney (amongst other institutions) for conditioning us. These kinds of stories really were originally intended to scare the crap out of kids in order to keep them in check.

amishler Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Also, there were options in the Fable book. For example, rather than shooting arrows at the minstrel, you could have let him play his song. Granted, the arrows made for a more enjoyable experience, but the option was there, as it was for the others (pick the apples for the old lady, save the man hanging upside down, buy a drink for the lady rather than pouring it on the man, etc.). I found all the options fun, but what disappoints me is that no matter how you go through the book, it always ends up saying, "And so he became a good hero..." and gives you the wallpaper for the good guy. And there were times when I certainly did not become a good hero, though I was quite good at doing the bad thing. Hopefully they plan to expand that part of the site in the future.

Hmmm, you wouldn't know about the site's excessive gore unless you pushed all the 'wrong' buttons. Does that tell us something about your alignment once you play the game? EDIT: If you guys haven't seen the game in action, watch the E3 2003 trailer. It looks gorgeous, although most of what's shown is the combat.

Moosferatu Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 I might just be me, but I don't think that the environments look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. edit: Comments on game itself: Pretty. I like how each of the half-second clips shows the character in a different state (age, evility, etc.). I don't like how all these games assume there's only good and evil. What about the "path to hypocrisy and inaction"? (I'm pretty sure that's what I'd take, given the option. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
