But this is not Lionhead Fable, this is Playground Fable. Going in expecting it to be the same as Lionhead Fable will definitely mean you are setting yourself up for disappointment. If I am going to take anything away from that trailer is that expecting this to play, feel, look or like Fable of old would not be the thing to expect but to believe that Payground has their own take on Fable and while they may include some aspect of the original series, it could be a totally different take. Since this is not a remaster but an original game who knows what to expect from it. That trailer told us nothing. |
I'm sorry, but this logic is about as ass-backwards as it gets.
An original game? Is 'Fable' an original IP? From what I know the game is still called 'Fable', right? If they weren't planning to respect the spirit of the original titles, then why even make a Fable game? Would it be fair to benefit off the reputation and fandom of the originals but not respect any of their design process or their fans? Does the world work that conveniently in your eyes, and people that forgiving and understanding?
Good grief. That this kind of mentality can still live on despite the yearly reboots butchered and bombing in spectacular fashion is beyond me. It's not a matter of ideology or 'get woke go broke' either, but simple common sense and basic respect for fandoms. It's not like we're asking for a 1:1 remake here.
Side-note: As far as Lionhead, Peter Molyneux and Fable go they've already been synonymous with disappointment, which I imagine is why the IP had such a long hiatus. If Playground have any understanding for the IP and respect of the fandom, they ought to be trying hard to steer away from disappointment.
