Yeah, Idle posts absolutely every rumour he finds, Lol.
Also disappointed in Jez for responding to something such obviously nonsense with "wouldn't be surprised if it was true" as a journalist with a reputation he should know better, and all it took was 2 seconds to look at it to know it didn't add up.
I think Jez "wouldn't be surprised" because he's said a few times that Fable has hit some speedbumps due to Forzatech but that's a bit of a no shit, it's a racing engine, it's not going to magically translate perfectly to open world ARPGs, it'll take some time and reworking, I don't know what it is with Jez and instantly jumping to "Xbox studio is ditching its internal engine, Unreal Engine is perfect" Lol.
Anyway, Dictator from DigitalFoundry said it wasn't true, Dring from GamesIndustry said it wasn't true, and even job postings from Playground for Fable still mention "proprietary engine" some as recent as 3 months ago. Not to mention everything else that didn't make sense with the rumour (it has been rebooted but will release Q4 2024...It took them 5 years to realise Forzatech wouldn't work...Lol).
Curiously, the Zenimax leaker on Reddit was the first to say it was bullshit and shouted out to Jez...Have refrained from posting him because I don't know his credibility and I'm still unsure because I said it was bullshit too but that doesn't make me an insider, Lol.
