You want gameplay now for a likely fall 2025 game? Why? So you can trash how last gen it looks?

You generally get gameplay for games 6-12 months out tops from most studio's. Otherwise they look like shit or are "in engine" ie not the game.

I wanted gameplay. It and Starfield were what I actually expected gameplay of. Didn't have to be a 45 minute presentation of Starfield, but even small snippets of the gameplay would have been nice.

Showing gameplay for games that are years off isn't far fetched either.

 

[Banjo64]

How long before this screen is turned into the new Last of Us 2 (Abby scene)

 

[SaintALia]

The game with the girl who looks totally like a dude

You can probably create your own character.

Why do western game developers hate beautiful women?

Looking like a troglodyte is the ideal beauty standard in 2023.

It’s why I’ve stopped shaving, having my hair cut showering.

Sadly I’ve only attracted Aloy’s in that time.

 

[EddieVanHelgen]

It looks amazing.

It's not a million miles away from the original cg trailer either.

 

[near]

*filthy picture*

You should be absolutely banned for this.

 

[Banjo64]

You should be absolutely banned for this.

I thought the same about cuckmann when I saw it for the first time.

 

[clarky]

I'm actually astounded that people think this isn't in-game footage. Like, does it look THAT good to you that you believe it's CGI or bullshots? lol. It's in-game with modified camera takes for cinematic storytelling, like those Uncharted games. Here I created some gifs for you naysayers to contemplate.

See the above post for some small snippets of gameplay.

Look, I admire what Xbox has been doing to turn things around, I really do. But this? This was just another pre-rendered cinematic trailer and fat man Greenberg literally promised no CGI stuff and In engine stuff can be deceptive and yes, I saw the 5-7 seconds of gameplay in the trailer, but at this rate, 7 seconds are not enough when most of the footage was pre-rendered anyway. You can't fool me more than twice. The humour looks great, but that protagonist man. Her character reminds me of alloy's character from Zero drawn, as bland and interesting as a wet piece of cardboard. Game looks far off in terms of release.

 

[Varteras]

Not at all what I was expecting. I miss the original Fable and how that world felt. Willing to wait and see legit gameplay but this trailer did nothing for me.

 

[Captain Toad]

I.hope everyone who shit on aloy hold the same standards here - that's one ugly main character. Everything else looked fine for a cinematic.

Aloy (the actual Aloy, not the fake photoshops) is a supermodel compared to that thing.

 

[SaintALia]

See the above post for some small snippets of gameplay.

That doesn't look like gameplay. Looks like an in-engine vertical slice. Or is it officially confirmed to be gamplay with UI removed? Actually, maybe even verical slice is pushing it and it's actually just an in-engine render.

 

[Skifi28]

That look of the protagonist was certainly a choice.

But I assume protag is customizable, so who cares?

There will be a character creator, but it will only make ugly characters.

 

[Robochobo]

There will be a character creator, but it will only makes ugly characters.

The proper English experience.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Why do western game developers hate beautiful women?

Am i the only one who doesn't give a fuck? We don't even know if there's a character builder.

I find the face to fit also with the tongue in cheek humour. Like a bit derpy. A bit like a medieval women wouldn't look 10/10 hot by today's standards.

Could look like this

You're kicking chickens and drinking beer. Why so serious?

 

[Eotheod]

Looks amazing, and I absolutely love that Richard Ayoade is in this. Such a good actor.

the top comment on YouTube for the trailer is saying the ESG score must be incredibly high for this game

I swear, some people are being absolute obtuse idiots when it comes to ESG. I've said it before and I'll say it again, ESG is not this buzzword everyone thinks it is when it comes to social appeasing. It's quite literally an acronym for government reform, one of the most belong red tap acronyms you could create.

Seriously, trust me as I work with ESG-based projects due to local government and overall government requiring it now for grants. It is the most mundane shit you'll ever work with, yet somehow it has been co-opt for virtue signalling the brain dead idiots.

People are more precious about being offended by an acronym then they are of the supposed acronym's intentions. How ironic.

I think some of you are having a hard time understanding or distinguishing in-engine and in-game. So, I'll do my best to explain what that means. If a trailer says in-engine, you can expect that footage to be pretty much all pre-rendered, this is done using the game engine, so you'll find game assets that will represent what the game may resemble in the end. This trailer however is in-game, meaning that not only is what you're seeing in-game assets, it's also realtime and NOT pre-rendered. So in other words, if you think this looks too good to represent gameplay, wait until they polish this even further.

 

[Banjo64]

Aloy (the actual Aloy, not the fake photoshops) is a supermodel compared to that thing.

I’d need a bag for both. Preferably a plastic one.

 

[Raonak]

The waifu begging is insanely cringe.

The character looks weird, but I think that fits the charm of this kinda game.

Looked nice graphically, can't really say much more because it feels more like a concept trailer rather than an actual game atm.
Either this game is very far out, or there's gonna be a downgrade in actual gameplay.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

xbots fans at it again with their delusions. First it was: "they're going to show gameplay! 100%" Now they're doubling down with: "it's 100% in-game because Microsoft says so and because the fingers and the shadows!"

Lmfao. These people never seen cinematics that use game engines before? Holy fuck.

The amount of people here who are in complete disbelief that this is gameplay and in-engine cinematics from the game is so strange to me.

Just a few weeks ago, before Sony had their own showcase, 99% of GAF was undoubtedly convinced that the image below was how the entirety of Spiderman 2 would look while playing on local PS5s

 

[Gambit2483]

Well, that was just a cinematic, how disappointing.

But it was "In-game"...Apparently that makes ALL the difference.

 

[Outlier]

Is that thing a man or a woman? Jfc

Could be an intentional nod. Small breast and a masculine face... Whatever.
Not interested in these CGI trailers anymore.

 

[Bernkastel]

I.hope everyone who shit on aloy hold the same standards here - that's one ugly main character. Everything else looked fine for a cinematic.

well the difference is you won't be playing as her. There will be a character creator.

Thanks John Marston

I think you are completely missing my point of 'gameplay footage'.

As in, I don't actually care what the game actually looks like(graphics wise). I want to see 'gameplay footage', as in what the actual gameplay will be like.

I figured it was in-engine, but that it was a vertical slice as well, if at that, and not actual gameplay footage, unless you can actually confirm said footage was actual gameplay footage with UI removed(which it did not look like at all)?

I think it isn't difficult to deduce what aspects of the trailer would look like with a UI. It is confirmed as in-game, I don't believe any part of this trailer is in-engine. MC character throwing the fireball to me looks like a playable segment. Or where she is climbing the desk. The game has been in development for at least 5 years now, I'm convinced there is gameplay there in the trailer. They'll eventually release another trailer with a HUD to appease you, we will wait until then.

Right ok then, So your after a totally polished slice of gameplay that looks like the finished article from a game that's likely 2 years out.

Look at Starfield a just a year ago, it looked rough as. What a difference a year makes. Imagine what it looked like 24 months ago?

Your asking for something that simply doesn't exist yet.

Edit: turns out its completely in game running on a series X. I stand corrected, in which case then it looks amazing.

You can literally see the gameplay when she is fighting the giant at the end. It's all in game footage.

Waiting for “you can customize your player character how you want it” news.

 

[ProtoByte]

I liked Ayoade's performance.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Looks absolutely amazing! Can not wait. Did they confirm 2024?

 

[clarky]

No date so likely the big fall 2025 game. The stuff supposedly coming in '24 all had the year at the end of each trailer.

 

[Banjo64]

Looks absolutely amazing! Can not wait. Did they confirm 2024?

They did not.

They did on Avowed and Hellblade, which to me screams 2025 for Fable.

 

[abacab driver]

Respectfully..I bet if I took a candid of your girlfriend(s) without make-up on, she'd look worse than all these characters people love to make fun of.

Speak for yourself. Aloy is fit tho.

[kyussman]

Why cant devs make NORMAL looking videogame women anymore? And by normal I mean attractive

Or is "she" trans

Every fucking western character looks trans these days......did you see the Starfield character creator.We live in a world where mental illness and ugliness are celebrated.

 

[Neo_game]

This game is at least 2yrs away from release and they are not in a position to show it, otherwise they would not have come up with this trailer. Horizon Zerdo dawn announcement trailer is the way to show an actual gameplay trailer.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Makes me want to play Fable 2 again. Unfortunately, I really hate the PS3/360 lighting in that period of games. Oh well, I will bite the bullet anyways.

 

[DenchDeckard]

They did not.

They did on Avowed and Hellblade, which to me screams 2025 for Fable.

Ahh, well. 2025 it is then. I'm very excited. I hope ayoade is in the game. Perfect fit.

 

[NEbeast]

well the difference is you won't be playing as her. There will be a character creator.

Thank fuck. Aloy wasn't even that bad : team green just wanted to hate on it. This shit is straight out of a horror movie.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Please tell me I can create my own character? The model they went with for the main character was hella ugly. In fact it looked more like a man in a dress than a woman. Bizarre.

 

[LastBattle]

Is that thing a man or a woman? Jfc

Please let there be a selectable male and female character creator. PLEASE! That woman looks to
Have hit every branch of the ugly tree on the way down.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Is the bottom right picture photoshop?

 

[mrabott]

I'm sorry, the age of attractive women in sexy clothes is dead in the west.

Confirmed where and by whom exactly? Because that information was not available in the trailer. Do you have a source or link to that, from the dev or MS?

Also, I mean yeah, vertical slices will have bits and bobs of what COULD be in the gameplay and bear some semblance to gameplay, but isn't actually IS gamplay footage. That's what vertical slices are for. But even then, I'm not even sure if this actually qualifies as a vertical slice and is not just an in-engine render.

WHAT? Lol.

I said I wanted to see gameplay, even it it means just snippets of it.

What about this is so confusing ore requires such a defense force???

Do people not realise how long it's been since the last Fable game and the last promising potential title got cancelled with it's gameplay deviating from the previous version and the mechanics that Fable has and the potential changes that could possibly be in store?

Yes of course I want to see SOME gameplay. Doesn't have to be much as I said before, but some would be nice. Either way I can wait, but some gameplay would have been nice to see.

 

[SaintALia]

First response nails it for me:
"you guys nailed it! this seriously looks insane! can you share any more details on what exactly "in-game" means here? are we talking engine running real time on hardware or pre-rendered in-engine scenes? because this is a new milestone in visuals!!!"


Except that I don't actually care if the visuals actually look like this or not. I just want to see how the game plays and the new or old mechanics introduced.
