New Fable 3 Info Will 'Really Upset People,' Says Creator Peter Molyneux
by Chris Faylor, Feb 08, 2010 10:30am PSTLionhead Studios head Peter Molyneux has made another one of his famous bold claims, teasing that an upcoming revelation about Fable III will "really upset people."
The tease emerged as part of a Gamereactor International video, with Molyneux stating:
We're making a big announcement about Fable III in the next couple of weeks [at X10]...I hope I haven't spoiled some horrible PR surprise. Gulp. We'll be 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. 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.
A showcase of Microsoft's upcoming Xbox 360 efforts, X10 takes place this Thursday, February 11, in San Francsico. Molyneux has previously noted that "there's something fundamentally wrong with RPGs like Fable," and vowed that the 2010-due third entry in the action-RPG series would somehow "take that foundation stone and throw it away."
The man later revealed that Fable III would include a microtransaction store--selling, for example, an in-game sword at 1 euro--and also support the Xbox 360's upcoming motion-tracking add-on Project Natal, though to what extent is currently unknown.

But then I remembered how even such a trivial thing such as a rainbow in Diablo 3 could engulf the internets in seething nerd rage I realize it's very easy to piss off the gaming community.

Or maybe the prolbem with 'RPGs' like Fable is that the hero is too badass, so he's going to make a weaker hero in the Third? I'd like more of a challenge myself

It's like he subscribes to the playstation school of marketing. (incredible power that the world hasn't ever seen, that mere developers have problems harnessing vs incredible games that the world hasn't ever seen, that mere gamers have problems understanding or will get pissed off by)

Fable 3 will not only use Natal, it will require it - AND be an MMO to boot.
Of course, for people to be upset over any information about Fable 3 would require Fable 2 to have a rabid, dedicated fanbase. I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist.

Even if its just bonus content, it always feels like you are missing out on something.

I could not understand how people paid for it.
Was it the fart jokes? Do you really have to appreciate them that much?
BW2: Horrible AI, felt like I was playing with my retarded nephew who fell down the stairs when he was 3.
Fable: Fun and then I got to the end and forgot why I was really doing this.
Fable2: Didn't understand why my character was fat until I had a statue built of her. Couldn't "work it off" so I said "F*** this game" and all it's horrible gimmicks.
Time and again I hear promises of earth shattering content to be delivered and it is; not by this guy but by other silent giants in the industry who continuously push the edge of gameplay..
All I see when I hear him speak is a giant set of Keith Richards lips spewing week old taco bell chipolte sauce out his mouth while dancing on a ball clapping like a seal.
