Fable Legends May Still Have A Chance
If you were sad to hear about Lionhead Studios' free-to-play RPG Fable Legends ceasing development last month, all might not yet be lost! Well, it might still be, but gamers are nothing if not hopeful creatures, right?
Word is coming that the staff at Lionhead Studios -- which is set to close its doors at the end of April -- has received a survey from Microsoft asking if they would like to continue working on Fable Legends or simply accept the severance package offered. MCV's sources on the potential deal are a little contradictory, and many of the people who had worked on the game have already moved on, but it ain't over until it's over, right? Really over, that is.
Microsoft, of course, won't publicly acknowledge anything, but what's your take on the matter? Would you still like to see Fable Legends?

Aaaand While the Fable games gave me not once the feeling that "COME ON THIS COULD BE FAR BETTER" I mean if we look at the bad "looting" System in Fable 3 then I guess We can agree with the fact that the recent Fable games were not at the top....
YET as I said I had high hopes for fable legends and I'd say that if they'll fix the optimizational problems (and no don't they dare to make this game to be Xbox exclusive only because their new lazy ass team doesn't want to bother with PC) then I guess this game could become the next best.......
okay the 2nd best co-op multiplayer game
Fable 2 and Fable 3 were a lot worse. I'm glad I only rented those two because they were horrid.
That company should sell that franchise to a better company.
As Grimbsbane said, they need to make Fable 4, and actually START with multi-platform in mind, not just shitty console exclusive and then like 3 years later port it to PC with shitty control schemes and whatnot, just to milk an extra buck.
We want multi-platform for all games. Why? Because not everyone has thousands of dollars to buy every platform there is, just to play 2-3-10 exclusive games.
