A game which has often been described as Peter Molyneux' lovechild, has just gone gold. No it's not a fable, it's true. A troubled game from the start, Fable has been through enough problems to make Half-Life 2 seem like a smooth ride for Valve.
This latest announcement should make Microsoft smile again since Fable has the potential to become a best-seller for XBox. Whether the Lionhead epic can top Halo on sales is a question which will be answered on September 24 when the game is released.
Fable is highly anticipated, mainly due to Peter Molyneux's involvement and is expected to offer a new experience for RPG gamers. Molyneux's choice to work on a console rather than on PC was questioned but the man himself claims, The reason was partially that the architecture of the Xbox is similar to that of the PC and partly because consoles have finally become powerful enough to handle the kinds of game concepts we want to create.
Although Fable is the highlight, Lionhead is also working on another game claimed to be just as groundbreaking, B.C.. When Molyneux was asked to describe B.C. he said It will be the most vicious, bloodthirsty, and savage game ever-you take charge of a tribe of humans and help them to survive in a very detailed simulated world.
Fable is a role-playing adventure game from Peter Molyneux, in which your every action determines your skills, appearance, and reputation.
Create your life story from childhood to death. Grow from an inexperienced adolescent into the most powerful being in the world. Choose the path of righteousness or dedicate your life to evil.
Muscles expand with each feat of strength; force of will increases with each work of wit. Obesity follows gluttony, skin tans with exposure to sunlight and bleaches bone-white by moonlight.
Earn scars in battle and lines of experience with age. Each person you aid, each flower you crush, each creature you slay, will change this world forever.
