Forums - Microsoft - Fable III Won’t Launch With Kinect Functionality

Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has revealed on the Engadget Show that – despite previous confirmation to the contrary- Fable III will not ship with any Kinect functionality.

Upon speaking with Molyneux, Joystiq has learned that the Kinect content planned just wasn’t up to scratch, although it may be available post-launch.

Microsoft has said that it can’t discuss what role the hardware will play in the game “at this time.”

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Peter making promises he can't keep again? You'd think he would have learnt by now.

i dont' remember him ever promising kinect support for fable III.  didn't he say something non-committal like, "how could i not be interested in a new tech like natal?"  maybe i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure he never promised this just hinted at it.

Exactly! I didn't think Kinect was the big selling point for Fable 3 anyway.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

You're correct that at first he only hinted at it but then he announced it at the BAFTAS in the UK last year.
