Part of the enjoyment of open-world exploration is that there’s potential to hide things away. Being able to visit a library at the Guild would be great for lore-hungry players. And in Fable, players were able to break in and sneak around villagers’ houses and rob them. But I’d like to be able to see character backstories, so even though robbing is an evil deed in itself, the possible guilt from robbing someone could potentially make you feel even wo
While the new Medal of Honor was praised for its change in setting, it was more of the same the genre already had to offer. We had Battlefield: Bad Company and Call of Duty already and this game followed a similar path, only without anything new attached to it. In doing so, it just became another run-of-the-mill shooter. It would have its audience, but wouldn’t be the groundbreaking experience it promised to be for critics or gamers, and certainly not a contender to take down Call of Duty like EA promi
One of the main reasons the story falls so flat is your character’s infinite silence. The only way to communicate with other characters is through a series of expressions that only really serve to illicit a base reaction from any NPC that sees them without any real discourse. Sure using the right expression will curry favor with the townspeople of Albion, and the wrong one will help to make them view you are boorish and rude, but it helps to illustrate the core issue with Fable II’s system. The game becomes about the choices you make, but not necessarily about the characters that those choices may alter. Due to the one-dimensional townspeople and lack of real interaction, scenes that should have some amount of emotional resonance fall significantly short. The only real feeling you have for any character is for your faithful canine companion, and even that is tenuous.
So there you have it, some of my thoughts on what I’d like to see in the upcoming Fable title. It’s been a game that was a strong part of my childhood on the original Xbox, so waiting in anticipation for more details has got me incredibly excited. Although somewhat impati
The Super Smash Bros. series has been huge for Nintendo, and the last installment, Brawl was no exception, selling over 10 million units worldwide since its launch. A new Smash Bros. traditionally only launches once per console generation, and that’s why it’s easy to assume that the beloved franchise will follow suit with Super Smash Bros. 4 on Nintendo’s new console. Rumors of a possible Super Smash Bros. 4 reveal during Nintendo’s E3 conference aren’t exactly new, but a lot of self-proclaimed insiders are stating that we’ll get an official confirmation and more info on the next Smash Bros. in the next couple of we
Considering this, some may have expected Nintendo to announce Super Smash Bros. Deluxe or something along those lines at E3. While a port of the Wii U Super Smash Bros. would have been the most likely scenario, though, some fans are keeping their fingers crossed that the Switch gets a completely original version of Nintendo’s popular fighting g
To be fair, we were warned ahead of time that Death Stranding wouldn’t be at E3 2017. Even so, Hideo Kojima’s reputation for tricking fans meant that there was still a slim possibility the game would make a surprise appearance during Sony’s E3 press conference. Unfortunately, Death Stranding was nowhere to be seen at the show, meaning fans are still largely in the dark about its gameplay features, story, and whether or not there is any truth to the Emma Stone casting rumo
1. Homefront
Homefront had a lot of promise behind it. Instead of being an ultra-futuristic space shooter or one taking place in a famous historical war, it would take place in the near future and tell the close-to-home story of a battle between scattered U.S. Forces and an oppressive Korean government. It was something different and held a lot of expectations as a new force in FPS gam
When it comes to Fable 4 though, there are a lot of qualities from previous games in the series that we hope to see return. Combat has always been one of the most exciting elements, as well as the game’s ability to tell a story that feels as if it is the definition of epic. Where the Adventure Games story guide tend to go wrong is more in the subtle details, like last year’s ‘Road to Rule’ mechanics — namely the handholding and the third act decision-focused parts of the g
And that’s more than enough reason to speculate on what I’d want to see from the upcoming fantasy epic from the developers that brought us Forza Horizon 4. Also, here’s the trailer for it below, but it’s you’re seeing “This video is age-restricted” I’m incredibly sorry. YouTube doesn’t like embedded videos anymore! Without further ado, let’s get into what I want to see when Fable launches at some point in the fut
In the days leading up to E3, the news broke that both Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 were years away from launch . After learning this, many assumed this meant that neither game would show up at E3. However, Kingdom Hearts 3 actually did get a new trailer, whereas Final Fantasy 7 Remake wasn’t even mentioned. There have been rumblings that Final Fantasy 7 Remake has undergone some serious development struggles behind the scenes, but hopefully those fears will be put to rest the next time we see the game in action, whenever that may
