Forums - Microsoft - Lionhead Shutting Down. Fable Legends Cancelled.

Anyone really surprised, fable was always a so so game series, it didn't help that it was also made for kinect but i hope the guys find jobs soon.

Why are many gamers so skeptical when a franchise would move to another studio? I see it as an opportunity to improve a game with new ideas and Fable would be no exception. I'd love to see Fable 4 done by someone else, but I can't see it happening.

Really? Series almost always suffer from a change of developer.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I'm surprised they didn't just release the game. Make at least some money back? That just seems odd. I didn't sound great, but didn't sound that bad from people in beta.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Servers cost money to run and maintain.

Source? They said servers were shutting down on April 13th at 3PM GMT not even 2 full days ago http://forum.lionhead.com/yaf_postst11810_IMPORTANT-INFORMATION-ON-FABLE-LEGENDS.aspx

They should have released it and closed the studio after people start complaining that the game is rushed and unfinished. 



“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.”

Sorry, someone clearly was lying on another forum. Didn't think he/she was trolling, my bad.

Considereing how unbalanced the game was due to microtransactions, it needed alot more work before release.

That might be the best answer.  Even though it's been through something like a year of beta.  I'm not saying you are wrong, just seems like it would have to be somewhat playable.   But I haven't played it, so I can't really say.

poklane: The servers should be paid for by Xbox Live Gold subscriptions.  

So mostly because it's not much fun and would bring bad PR to the brand?

I wonder if this will push a Fable 4 forward.  Either with MS or someone else.
