Fable III PAX 2010 Interview: Josh Atkins

Fable,fable the lost chapters,fable 2. I worship all of that series and in almost a week i will keep worshipping!!

i wunder how jobs have changed and stuff because they have not said much about it

Dude, you should really buy this game and not borrow it, If you really are not sure to buy it, just pay $60 for just the game not $74 for the limited edition. Besides, haven't you ever wanted to rule the world?

eh after fable 2 im not sure if i should borrow or buy

y does he sound like he is yawning when he is talking? lol

@FreakensteinAG "How about a game of lucky hit?" lol, Shenmue 2 was a masterpiece, beautifully crafted game with a combat system like none other! But back to Fable 3, i feel like some people just need a hug. It's unfair when you bash a game that isn't even out yet because the last game didn't have absolutely everything you wanted. They're working pretty damn hard to better the series and i think their efforts are going to pay off even more this time around. @rossguyy94 Make sure you keep enuff money in your wallet for Dragone Age 2. The first one was probably the one of the greatest games ever, in my opinion.

The game looks Amazing the only thing that i would want is the ability to damage or destroy buildings because of the spell combos like fireball/push if you charge up a massive spell its realistic to assume that it would cause collateral damage to buildings and people.

so when is it coming to pc? if at all?

looks good and sounds good, but was that guy yawning in the interview?

Yes...we must make sure the characters look "atomically correct" (4:10).

Fable = Is the BEST fable series and will always be the BEST Fable II = disappointing, the story was so boring and there wasn't any final boss like Jack of Blades WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!? Fable III = looks like it'll just be the same as Fable II, the magic system is the same as fable II where mana isn't required( which ruins the whole concept of magic), no good looking armor like in fable instead you just wear clothes like in fable II, the dog system is useless(yes i know that the dog looks for treasure, but that ruins the FUN about being an adventurer/treasure hunter), and finally...the developers talks as if you have all these different options in the game and yet the game is so limited

The man looks exhausted but you have to figure its the combo of work and most game designers are gamers themselves so hes probably playing this game which looks legendary .

You know the thing that irks me right now about Fable is Josh Atkins saying "Fable has never really been a fantasy game, if slightly crosses the line of fantasy but mainly stays within the relm of reality with small little elements of fantasy" What? Are they just trying to make fable less and less interesting? First fable we had Will powers, Jack of Blades, Balverines, Avo, Skorm Craken. It is a silly thing to let get to you but that just kind of put a damper on my fable mojo

@Knightarce, i can see where organbank is comming from . i duno if you remeber but PM hyped the first one up so much and content gradually faded out altho one was still good and then a similar thing happned with two altho not as much content was stripped. i think they are doing a really good job with this one, keeping peter locked up somewhere.

I'll buy the collector's edition of this game just for the dog. If they have an Irish Wolfhound I would be soooo stoked. Every elese about this game is crap though.

I just feel like the last video updates have been more of the same, maybe it us just me but I think we have seen tons of different people talking about the same thing so... thanks but no thanks.

They make the Fable series so much like a business, with stale concepts on how to interact with society. You really can't do much with the townspeople, besides use actions. Can you actually "talk" to them? Do they actually have a non-quest based purpose? No. Please. Just make the game more adventurous. I really don't want to have to WORK in a game again. Fable II seriously left a bad Shenmue taste in my mouth.

Its half RPG and Action adventure Now ? HMMM Might be good i enjoyed the last 2 games.

haha what's up with this guy? He talks like he is perpetually on the verge of yawning. Also, how many more 'interviews' are GS gonna put on here that tell us what we already know and don't give any new details or depth? Game is looking good anyway.

@organbank hype and fail?? ill agree 2 isn't as good 1 but selling 3.5 million copys on a single platform,1 was eventually released on pc as you'll no doubt no, is by no way a fail. it was hyped but most games are, its just the only one in the role player genre to do it. Look at fifa they spew out the same thing every year (I still buy it) hyped up to be so much better and it ends up adding a few little things that you barely notice. So wake up thats what the gaming industry is like now

I think I'll stick with Bioware games for stories with actual depth and difficult decisions. Fable 2's story was shallow and childish. They're really dumbing down the gameplay in Fable 3, and I suspect the story will be just as dumb. I might get it though, because Fable 2 was fun to play.

You would think that after the hype and fail of the first two Lionhead would try a different approach to hyping the game.

Oh my word another un-warned spoiler. Gnna know the whole game before it comes out. jeez. Seriously though. Can you imagine how much more (pleasantly) suprising it would be if you didnt realise the 'becoming king' etc. Now a Bower Lake spoiler. Please don't watch this if you care for yourself being actually suprised when you play the game rather than knowing what possibilities will be available to you when you move to a certain area. Looking good never-the-less but man they could have easily kept some game elements more covert.

And I know this is not coming to PC. They will cancel it :(

I really really really hope this is better than Fable 2. I have very high hopes!

this looks like the super mario bros 3 of the fables series.

I am SO looking forward to this game. And I wouldn't drain Bower Lake. It was a beautiful spot if Fable 2.

Oh he looks so tired. But all the way Fable 3 is a must buy game.....

this game looks better than the last and more fun

@RYDERFTN Probably has something to do with him being a lead designer, and being at PAX.

@cloud-zehro the basic reason i own an xbox is fable. Favorit games ever.

Looks like he has been playing fable 3 all night.

I am def getting this, also Fallout, and most likely Two Worlds 2, maybe witcher 2 ;P

this game needs to arrive already.

All I have is a PS3, but i've yet to miss owning a Fable game, so I am going to once again.. Buy another 360, just so I can play this game.

So stoked for this! Hope it delivers

Why is he so tired? Looks good nontheless.

haha that's cool you can marry another a player. I love random easter eggs like that. Well not random. Just really cool.

they must be working overtime

He seemed to be yawning alot 0_o.

im not sure if its me or that it seems the guy being interviewed almost yawned 2 times throughout the video =/

I'm really looking forwardo to this game, it gives me the feel it will be different from everything else I've ever played. Lionhead are really pulling out all they're stops

Woo Hoo, I'm so draining Bower lake.........naw not really but it's hilarious that the option is there if you want to do it....Aww screw it I'm draining the effer.....

Loved the first one, never played Fable II as i don't have an Xbox 360, this one looks good, sounds like a lot of fun, and there is a lot of promise to it, can't wait for all the customization options, only thing i want now is for them to stop dancing around the issue of the PC version and finally tell us until when it has been delayed, they announced the delay a month ago, but are still not saying anything else about it, i noticed he didn't even mention it, he just said coming to Xbox 360...

Did he just yawn at 1:02?

At 1:15 did he really just force that guy to smell his fart? That evil bastard.

Really looking forward to this one. Looks to be much better than Fable II.

Looks and sounds promising.. i just hope it gets the job done this time around.

I really really really want Fable III to deliver!

Why can't combat be as it was in Fable 1? Where you specialize in a certain type of combat, i.e. range, melee or spells. Also, I hope you can choose how your pet looks and that it will not be a barking, running, useless prop.
