How do engines feel.
Im genuinely intrigued for your answer.

It's hard to describe but almost every engine has a look and feel, that goes for Decima, UE5, ND's engine, SP engine, RED engine.

None of us have played this, but all the flaws i see in the usual UE5 game are present here. We'll see when i play, it just looks like a UE game

and besides for forza, it was really the only game shown worth a damn.

I was expecting a first look at gears eday and more gameplay for halo

They already said what they were showing so I'm not sure why you'd expect completely different titles
 
I really enjoyed buying up the whole town in Fable 2. I didn't really see what everyone else saw as far as the combat, but I'm at work and so couldn't watch closely.

So glad they included character creation.

Combat looked better, seemingly, than TW3. So that's a plus.

A lot of gameplay was shown tbh.

Yes but it could have been a third of the length.

We need gameplay showcases, I have no interest in watching the septum ringed purple/red/pink haired he/she's standing and talking in front of the camera.

I agree but I'd take that over the boring ass state of play. The best formula was Sony e3 2019 when they showcased tlou2, Tsushima, spiderman and Death standing.

even if fh6 is just fh5 in japan with a real progression system, it's a big improvement.

it's telling they focused so much on that, clearly they heard the criticism.

It's called 'Developer Direct' for a reason. Not exactly subtle.

It looks clunky and automated(scripted), as if its just a film and not a game.
I'm looking foward because of the character creation itself, because the rest seems underwelming. Since most of problems I see are mostly from animation and combat, I still have hopes they can fix it.

I love the premise that will keep me playing until I am ruler of the universe and making everyone pay me 75% of their take home pay

That said I think once you see the 4k feed you will see it needs a lot of polish

When's the last time Sony showed extended gameplay of multiple long-awaited games in a 45-min format?
Click to expand...
They literally have dedicated long gameplay showcases for games that are about the release within a month or two.

Fable, when's the release date?

It reminded me a lot of Hogwarts.
 
Here's the gamplay teaser for Fable. Sorry but the actual gameplay looks rough as a badgers arse. This is all they can show for a game thats 6-8 moths out?

If you are excited for this you better hope it gets delayed.

 
Fable looked pretty good.
You've got to remember, this genre is out of their wheelhouse.
Combat looked a bit meh, but combat was never Fable's strong suit anyway.
Playground seem to be at least capturing the general ethos of the previous games.

They need to speed up some of those swing animations of the swords. I think that is throwing a lot of it off and making it look "automated" like you're watching a prompt play out versus more "oomph" with speed.
 
You are aware that Fable is doesn't use Unreal? They have their own engine that is exclusive to Playground Games.

I disagree. The combat was one of my favorite things in the first Fable. It wasn't incredible but it was fun and kept me playing the game.
 
Fable looks damn rough holy shit, but giving players a character creation instead of that monstrosity is a win on my book.

And people saying crazy things about comabt, the first Fable game have a decent combat.

I'm gonna romance every lass in every village. Make babies, leave and have a bunch of little bastards running around forming gangs.

Didnt you hear they build the studio for Fable from scratch? New hires and everything? And is the first RPG in their portfolio? Engine adjustments for using it for RPGs? Yea...Burning money....Playground

Do you think its reasonable that a game should take 7+ years and still look not even close to being ready?
 
Dissapponting. From what I got out it all is the developers seem like lazy non passionate aholes. None of the games blew me away all are safe. Seems companies promote lazy people with no passion .not surpised the state gaming is in

Thts what I got too. No quirks or charm at all. The passion in game developers seems to be gone these days they hire what seems like lazy unpassionate people then promote them and the cycle continues. This is the exact reasons game devlopemnt has ben dragging for years now on games

You still have guys here defending FH5s non existant progression system, it's nuts to me.
 
Visuals on Fable looked nice enough, and good thing they brought in a character creator IMO. But it looks not that fun to play IMO. I remember liking Fable 1 on the OG Xbox. I thought it was fun and creative at the time. Just not feeling this one at this point, but again, the scenery and visuals looked nice.

Don't care at all about Forza.
