It's fable, so yes, people will buy.

Also great box art and a nigh on confirmation of Fable IV.

It's funny, not a single line in his 'defense' of why this is a good game includes anything about the actual game itself, not the gameplay, the soundtrack, the story, even the graphics, nothing.

Pathetic.

I was disppointed with fable 2 and 3 so why should I give this a chance...plus Zelda>Fable

I've enjoyed all the Fables and thought this looked pretty good. Not sure why it's shit on so heavily personally.

It'll probably be as good, and sell similarly to Star Wars Kinect. A core franchise making a Kinect spin off. It's possibly got lower sales potential though because Fable is unknown outside of the core gaming Xbox/PC crowd whereas Star Wars has mass awareness among the Mums and Dads looking to buy a gaming machine for their kids.

Still despite this woeful PR attempt I imagine about 1/4-1/3 of fable fans will get it, and people who really dig Kinect will get it because it's a reasonable entry in the Kinect stable, so that should mean it makes a profit.

so buisness as usual??

a Mario shooter???

The Kinect itself is wonderful technology, I'm sure very fun games can be made for it. Fable the Journey doesn't look like one, it looks dreadful. It has looked dreadful right from its reveal. They shoehorned a series into a control scheme, rather than building up an idea around the control scheme.

Also don't go 'Do you have a 360?' on me. People are allowed to talk about devices they don't have y'know, we're on a gaming forum afterall.

As for the article

"if this was a Mario shooter based on the Wii controller, nobody would go, 'That's a terrible thing. That should never have happened"

I laughed. A Mario shooter is such a dreadful idea, and it should never happen.

I'm also amped to try Steel Battalion. I'll probably never get to try the original due to the ridiculous (and awesome) controller.
