Fable 3 combat video is not safe for wolves

Hmmm, i think i'll be putting all my points into AOE again

Death to Wolves!

Actually, it makes me cringe a little because the wolves whine realistically when you injure them.

This video really was NSFW. Couldn't the dog get in on the action too?

WRUF WRUF WRUF WRUF WRUF WRUF.

Loving the wind effects on the clothing and the trees.

Why is this a mini story? Fable 3 rocks!

The whole game looks like it runs in slow motion. Why is everything so extremely slow? Except for how fast that little girl can run, that is. Though that only serves to make the combat seem even slower.

Does this game use that one button combat system or whatever it was Fable 2 used? I haven't played it, but I can't imagine how it could possibly be good. It sounds like extreme oversimplification.

Also, the Fable games really need to stop using such horrible stereotypes as characters. Why would you possibly want to marry someone when everyone is exactly the same, with a different skin? It goes completely against the idea of developing feelings for the characters, due to them not actually being characters in the first place.

Did he just touch that little girl inappropriately or was that just my messed up mind?

D'Awwwwwwwwww.

Looks like another Lionhead instapurchase.

Looks good.

First Red Dead Redemption, now this? When will it end! OH THE WOLFMANITY!

Well... epic! The smooth transition between all the modes really makes me wish I have an Xbox! Voice acting also sounds relatively good, but I dislike the killing of the whining wolves. Couldn't they just make them snarl so you don't feel bad?

I can't wait to meet your "mummy" either. How many wives can I have in this game again?

cannot wait

Save a girl, "meat" her mom.

The whole thing looked like Fable 2 with very minor improvements, and the whole added touch system. Speaking of which, I have a feeling the touch system will lead to a whole ton of clipping issues during plenty of animations if you have your character wearing something baggy/poofy/non-body-conforming

Gosh the "cutscenes" in the game were terrible, tottaly un-immersed me out of the game because you're just standing there and this lifeless person is slowly talking to me or himself.

I hope they at least make the talking scenes more lively and less boring to watch, I don't want to skip them. This video has a good enough cutscene for me, hope it's not the only one.

Looks too... cinematic. Also looks too much like Fable 2. Which, despite how much *some reviewers* might have liked it, WAS A VERY BROKEN GAME.

I dont know the animations look way better than fable 2 so far as I can see. I'm ok with a similar look if they have fixed some of the gameplay issues, fable 2 felt a bit clunky. This looks a lot smoother. About the wolfs wining .. I like it, it's realistic, they are predatory but when hurt the would make that kind of noise when injured.

I see they haven't fixed the terrible framerate yet.

the combat looks much more fluid than fable 2, which is a nice improvement, however people lets remember that there was a whole console generation difference between 1 - 2, so having similar graphics is well, to be expected, maybe 4 or 5 on the xbox 3(720?) will have better graphics.

What i want to know is if the picking up the kid was a button press or whether its a scripted event everytime you greet or save some kid, because i dont feel like grabbing each kid i see AND, id much prefer to hold the kid in my hands and have the dog point the way.

The dog however remains as craptastic as ever, they really need to work on that combat and seeing as how it probably wont be improved before release, i hope to god if the dog is in 4, that they rebuild it from the ground up.

IMO the dog should find less condom digspots and instead scale and fight much better, the amount of times i got frustrated at the dog and was like OMG STOP BARKING, I DONT CARE ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE BAR IN THE GROUND.

In Fable 2 Molynaux said the dog would target ranged enemies if you used your sword and would target melee enemies if you used your gun, i however saw no evidence of this, if lionhead cant program the dog combat logic, they need to hire or remove the furry companion asap.

looks like the wolves were more interested pacing than attacking

This games engine needs some massive clean up thats for sure. For starters the blur effect needs to be toned down by half (It was a major problem for my eyes in Fable 2 game when I had my Xbox360, and it seems they still use the cheap blur effects on screen now in combat as well) The AA work is still last generation useing cheap crappy performaning AA makes the whole game looked washed out, and in a game thats boasted by the developers to have higher detail and better effects the blur, and poor AA quality means half of them go un noticed by the gamer.

If they can fix those issues the game will look much better IMHO.

It looks like Fable 2 but done properly.

I actually don't think this looks very good. I couldn't finish Fable 2 (although my gf at the time finished 100% of the game) and at this rate I will probably try Fable 3 but it's not looking like I'll be invested enough to finish this one either.

Aw, poor wolves. It's winter and they were just hungry.

This is TYPICAL of fable. It' s always had an overpowered combat system. The last game the combat should have just been left out it was so easy. It makes all the battles anti climatic. It also never gives you a sense of accomplishment because it's so easy to kill everything. They need to quit catering to 5 year old gamers and make it a challenge.
