BTW I'm 99% sure this footage they shown is what Jez Corden spoke about seeing 3 months ago, Lmao.
18th November, 2024: “I very recently saw some alpha gameplay footage from Fable. I have no idea when it was from. I don’t know if it was earlier in development. I don’t know if it was recent, if it’s something they’re going to show off soon but it looked fucking fantastic man.
You can tell that this game has CD Project Red DNA. So the developers Playground Games, they picked up a bunch of developers from CD Project Red and I believe they picked up the combat designer. And you can kind of tell. And I’m not saying it’s 100% one to one with Witcher because it’s not. But you can kind of tell that melee combat, the sort of pirouettes and dodging and the dodge rolling and the seamless hack and slash into an execution which looks really really cool - all that stuff is there. It looks super polished, it looks super good. And if this was early gameplay then it probably looks even better now from what I was shown.
I also saw some enemies. I saw like a giant chicken for example, cock of trees kind of thing. But it actually just looked like a chicken, that sort of comedic angle but also not. It looked like a dangerous fucking scary chicken dude. And also I saw a werewolf, there’s a scene where they lure a werewolf with bacon and eggs and sausages in a saucepan. They basically cook a werewolf a full English breakfast to lure it out is lair, is kind of the impression that I got there.
It looked really great man. Combat looked really tight. I also saw a variety of weapons. I saw a big mallet thing which was being used to swing around, hit multiple enemies at once. It looked super good, super tight. And my hype level went up a lot from seeing that stuff.
