I’m pretty sure it will, gender select has been a thing in Fable since 2 so I doubt they would lock you to playing a single gender. Could be worse tho … could be an “RPG” that forces you to play a disgusting male yuck.

But this is not Lionhead Fable, this is Playground Fable.  Going in expecting it to be the same as Lionhead Fable will definitely mean you are setting yourself up for disappointment.  If I am going to take anything away from that trailer is that expecting this to play, feel, look or like Fable of old would not be the thing to expect but to believe that Payground has their own take on Fable and while they may include some aspect of the original series, it could be a totally different take. Since this is not a remaster but an original game who knows what to expect from it.  That trailer told us nothing.

I'm sorry, but this logic is about as ass-backwards as it gets.

An original game? Is 'Fable' an original IP? From what I know the game is still called 'Fable', right? If they weren't planning to respect the spirit of the original titles, then why even make a Fable game? Would it be fair to benefit off the reputation and fandom of the originals but not respect any of their design process or their fans? Does the world work that conveniently in your eyes, and people that forgiving and understanding?

Good grief. That this kind of mentality can still live on despite the yearly reboots butchered and bombing in spectacular fashion is beyond me. It's not a matter of ideology or 'get woke go broke' either, but simple common sense and basic respect for fandoms. It's not like we're asking for a 1:1 remake here.

Side-note: As far as Lionhead, Peter Molyneux and Fable go they've already been synonymous with disappointment, which I imagine is why the IP had such a long hiatus. If Playground have any understanding for the IP and respect of the fandom, they ought to be trying hard to steer away from disappointment.

I'm a dent, is that when the two weeks starts? Or is that the final deadline for this temp block. 

Final date is like July 18th i think unless they extend.

The TRO is in effect right now. It lasts until the Judge rules on the preliminary injunction, which the court date is set for June 22nd. The ruling could happen that day or a few days after. Not 100% sure, @Ryuu96 can probably better clarify.

I got him blocked, so idk what it's saying. 

Appreciate the effort there, Ju- Noble.

Hope you xbots are crying over losing that 48 hour embargo exclusivity.

I don't follow the assumption of OW2 releasing before Clockwork Revolution tbh. We've actually seen a scripted in-game/gameplay trailer of Clockwork whereas the CGI OW2 trailer literally made jokes about unfinished assets or whether we'd actually see x creature.

Well, Outer Worlds 2 did actually enter development first, it was in development months before the first game even released in November 2019, began development July 2019 as I recall based on LinkedIn profiles at the time. Meanwhile a whole year later, in September 2020, inXile suggested that Clockwork Revolution had only recently entered development. On the other hand, while Outer Worlds 2 did enter development first, it wouldn't have entered full development until after the 2nd Outer Worlds 1 DLC shipped in March 2021, which was just 3 months before that CGI reveal trailer. But all preproduction work should have been completed in the 1.75 years between development start in July 2019 and March 2021, and maybe even some actual in-engine asset work. Outer Worlds 2 possibly is tracking behind Clockwork Revolution due to that later full production start, but we also don't know the scope of both games properly, supposedly Obsidian wanted to keep Outer Worlds AA, whereas Clockwork Revolution was stated to be AAA multiple times in job listings at inXile, and AA games are faster to build than AAA games are. It's also worth noting that Obsidian said in a post-show interview after the 2021 reveal trailer that Outer Worlds 2 would be releasing sooner than some might expect it to release based on the jokes in the trailer.

I think it's a safe bet that both games will be 2025 releases at this point, I would be shocked if either made 2024. I can't see Obsidian shipping both of their RPG's in the same year, while inXile only started on Clockwork Revolution in mid 2020, and they have been very slow to expand after opening their larger studio in earyk 2021, with just 121 employees as of now 2.5 years after the larger studio opened, so I just don't see how they can build a new IP AAA like Clockwork Revolution in less than 4.5 years with such a small AAA dev team, and more than 4.5 years pushes it into 2025. Question will be which of the two will release earlier in 2025.
