I wonder if MS will continue with Fable going into Next gen...

I really hope they do. I also hope they take a more serious approach to Fable. The franchise has amazing potential but i feel they kinda dropped the ball with Fable 3.

Or they can create a spiritual successor to the Fable series with some more radical changes?

Anyways excited to see what they have planned for Fable in the next few years. Hopefully we see something at this years e3 :D?

Did you miss the announcement of Fable Legends or are you referring to a continuation fo the Fable trilogy? 

Neither.

Fable Legends is online co-op only...Im talking about a "mainline" Fable game. I can see though how you might have read my post as not considering Fable legends but to be honest i dont :P

Yeah, FFXV, KH3, and MGSV are the 3 big Japanese games that are already confirmed for Xbox One, Microsoft did a good job convincing their developers to release on the One. You mean Child of Light, right? Child of Eden came out in 2011 for the 360 and PS3. Child of Light is technically not a JRPG since it's being developed in the West, but it's mechanics are based on JRPG's. The same goes for Cosmic Star Heroine and Pier Solar HD, western developed but based on JRPG's. I plan to buy all 6 of the aforementioned games. Also Swery's D4, definitely going to get it. Level-5's Wonderflick is also confirmed for Xbox One, don't think I'll get it though.

And of course Microsoft already has working relationships with several other Japanese developers, namely Sega, Mistwalker, Access Games, tri-Ace, tri-Cresendo, CyberConnect2, and Platinum Games, so we should hopefully see some Xbox One games from each of them. 

Though Microsoft has mainly been gaining support in Japan, they've also lost some support this generation which they need to win back somehow. First they lost Namco Tales Studio and the Tales series after only one game. Then they lost Arc System Works, the developers of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, previous games in both series released on the 360, but the most recent BlazBlue and the upcoming Guilty Gear Xrd aren't coming to Xbox platforms. And there are still plenty of the 3rd party Japanese series that have never came to the Xbox, Microsoft badly needs to convince their developers/publishers to go multiplat. In particular they need to convince Sega to make Yakuza multiplat, given the popularity of the very similar GTA and Sleeping Dogs on the 360.

lol, yeah, I meant Child of Light. I also forgot about MGS. Another big franchise that MS has for Xbox. That makes sense about JRPGs, got that terminology wrong.

Would love to see Platinum Games make some kind of crazy game for the One. And the Tales series loss was big (for me), and I'm not that aware of the other two franchises. But getting SEGA onboard should be a priority if they are garnering Japanese support. I'm so curious to see what's going on behind those doors at MS and what they have in store for Japanese fans. I wonder when they will show us anything Japanese. E3? Later? Who knows.

Yeah, it sounds like Microsoft is working on convincing more Japanese developers to go multiplat. If they can actually convince more Japanese developers to go multiplat it'll make the Xbox One a much more attractive option for Japanese gamers as well as Western fans of Japanese games. A few key exclusives plus increased multiplat support and the Xbox One should easily pass the 360's sales in Japan.

Honestly it shouldn't be that hard for Microsoft to convince Japanese developers to go multiplat, if you look at the sales of Japanese games on the 360 there is plenty of demand for Japanese games in the West. Most Japanese developers who have already gone multiplat are seeing 25-35% of their total sales on the 360 and a few are even seeing 40%, that's definite justification for more Japanese developers including the Xbox in their release plans imo.

Agreed. I mean they already got KH 3 and FFXV, and those are two of the biggest juggarenauts One could get. Smaller games like Child of Eden are also coming to the One.

MS has the money to fund development of those games as well. So I'm hoping there will be more to come to Xbox and if it does come to Xbox, I hope they localize it as well.

Those three are not enough.  People are getting tired of FFXV and MGSV so they are not getting the hype they once had. KH3 is different problem in that it is the third entry in a linear series.  Microsoft should try to secure some big up and coming Japanese IPs.

They'll probably continue the main storyline at some point. I too was pretty dissapointed when they first announced Legends instead of Fable 4, but as they've revealed more details about Legends over the last few months it's grown on me. For instance Legends isn't online co-op only, Lionhead confirmed that it could be played with AI in place of teammates.

Based on the things they have said and the interviews i have seen..the gameplay seems to be geared towards co-op/multiplayer with an interesting twist...

I dont see the game having the traditional gameplay we have come to expect from the franchise. Im hoping they go all out and show real support with Fable 4 sometime in the future. Imagine what they could with Fable on the Xbox One hardware?

Im actually excited about Fable Legends from the info theyve given out so far.  That and evolve has some interesting concepts.  

Though to be fair im not a fable fan.  Didnt care for 2 or 3.  Didnt play the first one.  Theyre ok in my opinion but not a franchise that i get overly excited about.

Rare is known to have another game in development in addition to Kinect Sports Rivals, and they've hinted that it might be one of their classic IP's. Banjo is a definite possibility. Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer has also suggested that many people at Microsoft want another Banjo game. I think it'll happen sometime this generation.

It would be fantastic if true. We keep hearing about Rare developing a new game but nothing is ever announced. If X1 got a Banjo game, then it would be easy decision for me to get an X1 over a ps4, since X1 will have Halo as well.

Well we can all hope and pray. Banjo Kazooie 3 please.

The only thing Titanfall needs is unique Titans. like you should be able to change body parts, from the head, to legs, arms, and core of the titan, sort of like how Armored cored was, have 1000's of different parts, for each body part, you should be able to customize colors & have emblems too. I hope they'll do it for titanfall 2
