Fable 3 News is Going to Make you "Super Pissed," Says Molyneux

News

Did Fable 2's co-op mode piss you off?  Did you fling your controller while trying to adjust the camera?  Did you punch Grandma in the spleen because you couldn't bring your single player character into her game for co-op?  Would you say you were "super pissed?"  Hold onto that nerd rage because it's about to continue into the game's sequel.  According to Peter Molyneux there's going to be a big announcement for Fable 3 at Microsoft's X10 event in San Francisco this week, but he's a bit nervous about how it's going to go.

 "There's some very, very big things happening in Fable," said Molyneux, "They're going to get super pissed off, they really are... Still,  it's the right thing to do."  What could the master of hype have up his sleeve?  There's very little hinted at in the original interview the above quotes were taken from.

Molyneux has a long history of stretching moral grounds and giving players absolute power over a virtual world, and most times, his vision and hype of it far surpass what can actually be made.  With Fable 3 being ripe for Natal support, considering Lionhead's ventures with Milo, I have no doubt that there's going to be some wild and crazy inclusion of Microsoft's motion and facial recognition platform in Fable 3.   But could this be what pisses people off so much?

Time will tell, X10 kicks off on February 10th, and we'll be sure to bring you the coverage right here.   We'll still keep our fingers cross for an improved cooperative mode.

Molyneux doesn't piss off anybody. He just... disappoints.

I'm thinking that F3 is only going to work with Natal, thereby requiring the purchase of Natal before F3 can be played. Hopefully Natal will retail for a reasonable price. But we are talking about M$ so...

if it's natal only, not only is it going to kill a potentially awesome game, it's going to kill sales.

standard control must be an option. don't be an idiot, Molyneux.

'They're going to get super pissed off, they really are... Still, it's the right thing to do...'

Now because this is a co-op gaming site, I bet he'll say that there won't be co-op in the next game... now that'll make us super pissed!!!

Meh I'll pass on old M's games from now on as he still has not learned to stop talking out of his ass.

It'll be funny if his talking about people being POed and then the news comes and nobody cares

I'm done with fable anyways, I never was too impressed by the series. The co-op in 2 would have been a lot better if you could use your character and equipment in other peoples games.

that wouldn't surprise me since they utterly failed with co-op in fable 2, but i don't think that would really piss off too many people since we're already not expecting much out of co-op. at least it wouldn't piss me off too much. my expectations are low.

i bet fable 3 will be an FPS

Given the way he exaggerates everything else, I suspect the people he's talking about will be mildly annoyed at most.

"Co-op in Fable 3 will take the form of a gaming classic. The joining player will not be another hero, but a small fairy that points out the enemies weak points and constantly annoys the player."

Wouldn't surprise me, they skipped what, 500, 600 years from 1 to 2? Maybe it will be a CoD ripoff.

he's probably talkin bout the peopole of the town that your'e going to get to run around. Nothing pisses off towns people more than kicken a few chickens. Or maybe they had a great co op idea they wanted to put in the last one as DLC but instead opted for the next Fable. More than likely it'll be good for the new fable whatever pisses/who ever off.

I liked the clockwork angle from fable 2. Other then that, crap.

Something is wrong when you know your choice is going to piss your fanbase off, but you do it anyway.

I guess that's all PM is good for, looking at his track record.

I don't know if I can be pissed off about Fable games anymore, 1 and 2 were fun but disappointed to a point where I'm not even going to bother looking at the 3rd game until it's been out with solid reviews.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!
Just saw it on my hungarian news provider, that Molyneux said "There will be NO HUD ingame, nowhere". I hope noone faints because of this, but if you want to, sit down for a second.
There won't be no life-bar, no exp. meter...etc., because that just ruins the graphics, cuz players sometimes look at the indicators rather than watching the action itself. Of course you'll be notified how much HP you have by changing the screens colours or something else.
As for Natal, the game could be played with it, but it's not a required thing for the game to work. So it isn't relying on it entirely, but can be controlled that way.
END OF STORY (how many of you have fainted?)

Did a similar thing in Afro Samurai... worked resonably well, had a nice effect.
