Fable III had an amazing cast: Stephen Fry, John Cleese, Ben Kingsley, Michael Fassbender and Simon Pegg.
Hopefully the next one can match or even surpass Fable III in that area!
Playground Games, Ralph Fulton & team so far has been an guarantor for quality content across the board and from the whisperings I'm hearing left and right, the RPG project will continue that tradition.
I feel like many people are sometimes still forgetting this project is in the works since 2017 already and will have tons of outsourcing resources by now.
I totally expect Playground Games to deliver a precedent-setting quality game for XGS.
Sorry since he fought and defeated the British I associate him with them.
Yep, Forza Horizon is polished to perfection and I don't expect anything less from the Fable reboot aka RPG project aka 90+ MC score.
Fable always felt more like a Dark Comedy to me. Yes but has childish fantasy elements with chicken chaser etc but it was also dark like sacrificing people to get your dark leaning higher.
A hyper realistic Fable akin to the recent character render stuff that appeared here is not what I want. Make it a new IP or something. Semi realistic/cartoony is what Fable should be. Just lean much more into the the good/evil elements and the passage of time stuff.

that was from before they were a part of XGS that same RPG team is the one working on the RPG they are working on now, they were going to make one regardless if they found another publisher before Xbox came in.
I see, didn't know that.
Raide that's just a character artwork from one of the artists, doesn't indicate that the game will aim for hyper realism.
The Scottish are British, he fought and defeated the English, who are also British.
In the context of Braveheart, this is geographically correct, but not politically ;)
Playing the Rare Replay again with my kids. MS should find someone in rare who can be like a Kevin Fiege to revive these IPs. Don't even give all of them the AAA treatment some would be fine as a proving ground for indie devs and gamepass would have a solid slate of games for the next decade
Got a nice tip on Reddit just a few moments ago.
So I was having issues with the beta for Xbox Console Streaming. (the remote play one, stream from your own hardware).
Well my issue was that they make you go through a network test for both LAN and WAN. So if your internet upload is shit like mine, you can't even play via LAN only.
Well turns out if you let the test fail, move your cursor over to help or close then hold the buttons: L and R trigger, LB and RB buttons as well as the two joysticks you will get an additional menu to enable console streaming to bypass the mandatory test.
Of course if you have shit upload you still will have an awful experience outside your network but if you just want to play locally like me, you can.

Yup, people seems to forget that also to sacrifice people you needed to make them be terrified by you or (even more villainous) love you, so they accept to follow you and that you spend a good portion of your time killing kidnapped children slowly turned into aberrations.
About the Evil/Good things though I'd like it to be more nuanced, not so black/white
Did you try it? Cause AFAIK (but I might be wrong and it could be smarter than I think), it stills goes over the internet even if you're playing locally, so your upload bandwidth still counts. If you want to use your LAN speeds, you should use OneCast as it masks as streaming to PC.
Realized nobody has had a giveaway in this thread yet - figured I'd start with a solid one ;)
I have used it. I don't know why it would go out to the internet. I am on the same network as my Xbox. As for streaming my Console outside my network? No I haven't tried that, but my upload is barely 1. So it would be awful anyway.
Do you know if I can redeem the key outside the USA? Dunno if XBox codes are region locked, if they are I won't enter the giveaway.
Like wallet credit is region locked.
Scottish , English, Welsh , Irish
All live on the British isles. All British
Together they form the political entity of the United Kingdom
Codes can be region locked, but if you redeem the code from redeem.microsoft.com all you need to do is change the region on the page itself, no need to mess around with console or account settings. I'm from Europe and the code may be made for European accounts, but I can assure I redeemed dozens of USA codes with that simple trick, as I often get review codes for games that aren't yet on the European store and as such are "completely" blocked from Europe.
Feel free to enter :)
Holy shit. That would mean we might actually get to see it at E3? And if it's indeed very far along....hopefully that increases the chances of seeing gameplay.
I really hope the game takes full advantage of the XSX, but did the team already know a few years ago and thus built the game with that in mind I wonder?
Playground have been working on their RPG since at least Autumn 2017, probably Summer. I'd imagine that this tweet from November 2017 would have been a decent chunk of time after doing initial work. They would, for example, not know their precise space needs for the new game until a decent amount of concept work had been done. They wouldn't be able to allocate office space for the job until they knew the scope of the game.

So an announcement in 2020 for release in 2021 would easily give enough time for a proper AAA effort. I can see the game getting released somewhere in March/April 2021.

To be completely honest, I'm not a huge fan of the Xbox Game Studios animation and hope they come up with something different than what's essentially a reskinned Marvel Studios intro.
Because they're both so similar, it didn't feel like "Here's this new, quality thing. Get excited!"
To be honest, I'm not surprised, with Matt's recent comments (I think it was him?) about how great the development is going on some projects and this, it seems obvious Fable is being revealed soon. I just hope Microsoft understands that we need to see gameplay. Last year at E3 the big games Halo and Gears had poor on-stage showings because, in a way, we had seen more from them the year before.
A game like Fable could be first announced without gameplay, in theory, because we know what gameplay is like, but this time it's a reboot by a new developer, so show me what this is all about.
I talked about it a little bit, but as cool and intriguing as Everwild's teaser was, I don't think a new IP should be shown without being clear on what to expect. When The Initiative announces their game, show gameplay!
It's a smaller game, but Grounded's trailer Is clear and straightforward. And a lot of features might still be hidden.
It's exciting. Much like the Avengers are the heroes of Marvel, these studios are the heroes of Xbox. They are avenging the Xbox brand from X1 launch. They will bring glory to Xbox.
XBox Studios in my opinion should focus on providing something different froma mp based games.
We have Halo, Gears which are two military shooters focused on multiplayer, Sea of Thieves is again a mp title, I don't play racing games so I can't speak for Forza. But I'd like a Scalebound revival, very bummed Microsoft closed the project.

They're going to provide a mix of content both single player and multiplayer. Don't worry.
I wasn't referring to those. Those are prob ages from today.
Man, I feel that this game is going to end up being epic :)
