Our Andrew was pretty pleased when he played fifteen minutes of Fable: The Journey during E3, and soon you'll get a taste of waving your hands at a pony too. A demo for Lionhead's Kinect-y Fable spin-off is coming to Xbox 360 on September 17, Microsoft announced today at Gamescom.
QUICKTAKE: Lionhead Studios promises it "hasn't f---ed up" the Fable franchise with The Journey, a Kinect-exclusive on-rails adventure. In fact, because you move through the world so quickly, it is being called the biggest Fable game ever, featuring the largest game world and soundtrack in the franchise's history. The Kinect controls take some getting used to, but when it works, it does feel like magic.
THE DEMO: I got hands-on (off?) demo with a 15 minute taste of the various gameplay mechanics featured in The Journey, from horseback riding and casting magic to a boss battle.
Experience Fable like never before in the launch trailer for Fable: The Journey.
