Speaking to Gamereactor, Lionhead maestro Peter Molyneux revealed that there will be some big Fable 3 news at the X10 event this week. "There's some very, very big things happening in Fable," said Molyneux, "Bigger than you think, and it's going to really upset people." Molyneux added that he is "really scared" about telling people the news, saying, "They're going to get super pissed off, they really are." Still, he concluded that it's "the right thing to do," and confirmed that he will be demonstrating the mystery announcement at X10 in San Francisco. Joystiq's theory: The entire story of Fable 2 was a dream sequence. Whatever it is, we'll be delivering the news directly from X10, so Joystiq's staff and readers can all get pissed off together.
In the meantime, be sure to watch the whole interview, which also contains some really interesting talk about Project Natal.

Not really. People love being pissed off. Any good talk radio show host makes inflammatory statements so people will listen more, and it works.
At this point I'm wondering what about a video game would piss me off so bad, so I'll probably look for the news.

That's flawed logic when it comes to the video game industry. With so much information flying around about Natal and its effect on hardcore games, it's a complete mistake to try and stir up controversy without damaging credibility of the game.

Or... you know... he could actually be announcing drastic changes to the paradigm that is Fable's traditional gameplay thereby creating lots of anger amongst the core fanbase who love the game and relish the idea changes.
But no... you're right. You don't know anymore than we do, but clearly you can see everything from on top of your high horse. We are all silly for believing that Fable 3 may just be made to entertain a different audience.

I'll tell you what it is.
It requires Natal so badly that its required to do even anything. You'll have to actually walk, and it goes in real time, with no instant warps, fighting is limited to how strong you look (fat nerds rejoice, skinny ones better bulk up), and you have to read/speak every little line in the game for your guy. Also, you'll need a 250g Microsoft certified hard drive just to install the game, forcing you to get a memory card if you want to play with a profile.
Oh, and the 250gig drive is the same cost as an xbox elite system before the price drop.

agreed. I have had a bad taste in my mouth about anything Molyneux has a part of since Fable, based solely on his annoying commentaries and false claims. Why do so many people think he is so great? I just don't get it...
I bet this announcement is that Fable 3 is going to be Natal controlled only. If that is the case, I will pass.

No, Bigfat, because now EVERYONE will be anticipating his announcement to see if it pisses them off.
It's a lose/lose for him either way. If it doesn't piss people off, then 'Molyneux is an idiot!'. If it does, same thing.

i've come to the conclusion that fanboys are typically the first to use one of the words in this sentence. i hold a grudge because there were things about the first two games that didn't deliver, not because i'm a fanboy. ...and no, i don't think either Fable was bad, or even just average. they were pretty good games that were made less than excellent because of the main man involved.
the only reason i'm seeing a negative in this particular comment of his is because Molyneux is telling me to see it.

This is pretty accurate. Especially considering the two people around these parts that love to use the word 'fanboy' most often.

Molyneaux has been disappointing gamers with Fable since the first one released with all the empty promises. All these grandiose promises that never turn out to be true. Thats why people are over his tired song and dance.

Considering how much Molyneux exaggerates everything, the announcement will probably be some tiny little issue like the player can't fart anymore.

I agree Khan it probably will be Natal exclusive and I bet some will be pissed off but mostly the people who are unwilling to try new things.

I reckon they've probably brought it up to a far more modern era. In World War 2.

All it's going to be is that it's not going to come out in 2010 as it had been originally announced which really should surprise no one they haven't really shown anything.

If everything Molyneux said about Fable were true, then every other game would look like stinking piles of fecal matter desperately trying to bask in the reflective glory of the supreme god of games known as Fable 2.
However, as we all know, Molyneux is nothing but a lying, hype-spouting machine. So it wouldn't surprise me if this announcement was something mundane and unimportant.
