Fable III

Fable3

quote:

Het wordt meer een politieke game. Als koning van Albion kun je kiezen om je eigen kasteel te pimpen, of juist dat geld te gebruiken voor de armeren. Wat doe je aan criminaliteit?

Het mooie is ook dat keuzes die je gemaakt hebt op weg naar het koning worden invloed hebben op de periode dat je daadwerkelijk koning bent. Een beetje zoals Obama nu voor z'n kiezen krijgt.

quote:

Say you're in your throne room and they bring in a girl caught stealing food. You can listen to the witness's statement and arguments for setting an example.

You can investigate things further yourself, or at any time say you've heard enough and make a judgment.

Or you can listen to the girl's case and excuses for why she stole. You can go and visit her family, for example, and see if they really are as poor as she says.

Then you can choose what to do - throw the girl a handful of gold or throw her in the dungeons?

There will be all sorts of judgments: "Everything from a crust of bread being stolen to a huge countrywide thing - shall we go to war?"

Ja ik heb de schijt aan dat dat de bedoeling was Geef een fatsoenlijk systeem, fable 1 was wel chill daar kon je of je zwaard of je boog trekken en op die manier kun je ook 2 knoppen (X en Y bijvoorbeeld) gebruiken voor aanvallen, en de B gewoon als magie knop houden.

En het magie systeem van fable 2 was gwn echt kut

Peter Molyneux has said to expect more details on Fable III at this week's X10 event in San Francisco, and warned that people are going to be "super pissed off".

"We're making some announcements about Fable III and there's some... Wow, there's some very, very big things happening in Fable. Bigger than you think. And it's going to really upset people," he told Gamereactor (thanks VG247).

"I'm really scared when I go out and tell people what it is they're going to get super pissed off, they really are. But it's the right thing to do man, I'm sure it's the right thing to do."

Fable III, announced at gamescom last year, plunges Albion into the industrial age. Read our exclusive preview from last summer to find out more.

Molyneux, who founded developer Lionhead and is now creative director of Microsoft Games Studios Europe, also confirmed that everything he shows will be part of the game. "Absolutely, for sure," he said, "and I'll demonstrate it."

MMORPG

Presenting at Fable III at X10 in San Francisco, Peter Molyneux has revealed that the RPG - if you can still call it that - has no experience points or health bar.

Health is represented by the screen-colouring effects common in action and FPS games - Fable III has no HUD most of the time - while your character grows in power according to how many followers he or she has in the game's world of Albion. Levelling up is also represented by your weapons, which grow and change appearance according to how much and how you use them.

"It's an RPG without a health bar or experience," Molyneux said in a demonstration. "Because we put the levelling up into the world, with followers, you don't need experience."

Why make the change? "The absolute main reason is that most people didn't really understand it," Molyneux told Eurogamer later. "When you asked people how to get red experience, they'd say, 'I don't know, sometimes it's green, sometimes it's red, sometimes it's blue'."

Molyneux came to feel that experience was out of date, and out of step with Fable's themes. "Why do you just get experience for combat? It seemed wrong. This game is expressions and getting married and doing things in the world that should be as significant as fighting. So as soon as we said the word followers... just saying the word followers, what people think of you, meant more to the entirety of the game.

"Experience seemed 1990s, it seemed old school."

It was the same thing with the removal of the health bar, he said. "We haven't removed the health bar, we've just copied other games. First-person shooters, the health bar's in the world. When your health gets low the corners of the screen go red, sometimes it goes black and white - that's a health bar man, it's just the same as a little bar, it's just that people see it.

"As soon as you say those things you think, Jesus, why was I so stupid beforehand," Molyneux said. "It just seems like these are legacy things."

These are the changes which Molyneux feared fans would be "pissed off" by. "If I remove experience and health bars, and I put levelling up from a 2D interface to a 3D interface, some people are going to get really upset, but that's not a reason not to do it, man. It's actually a reason to do it."

But he still thinks of Fable III as an RPG. "I still love the idea of levelling up... I love seeing myself and my hero grow and get more powerful. That to me is what role-playing is all about. I love the idea of being able to choose, that's another thing about an RPG."

For more on Fable III - including the weapon morphing system, the online features, and the Touch mechanic first revealed at Gamescom in Cologne last year - watch out for a full feature preview shortly.

Ik vind het cool tot nu toe Fable 1 en 2 altijd al leuk gevonden, dus dat zal met Fable 3 wel helemaal goed komen. Nog geen ding over Natal gehad, maar dat kan nog komen met de E3 natuurlijk

- De game maakt gebruik van Natal, hiermee kun je bijvoorbeeld kinderen oppakken door een gelijk gebaar te maken.
