And what i showed was gameplay. Mate, dunno who rattled your cage but that conversation was over a while ago, get back in your box.

Describe the Gameplay from the footage.

Oh right, you can't. There's no gameplay there, just a cutscene. Just acknowledge that you don't have a point here and move on.

 

[Halo is Back]

I'm so glad to get to play as ugly people in my escapists fantasy.

You will never escape being ugly

Mate there's gifs of gameplay further up the thread. I really can't be arsed arguing with you about a videogame.

 

[Gravemind]

Playground is so good they got fools bitching about "CGI". That's amazing.

 

[Edder1]

Dude, western devs have a weird fetish for women that look like ugly men. Some serious mental illness going around in the industry right now. It's probably gonna go down as a weird cringy period in gaming after all is said and done.

You indeed shouldn't be “arguing” about video games, because you're unable to tell the difference between cutscenes and actual gameplay. There was NO gameplay footage shown. All of they've shown are cutscenes. The fact that what they have shown is in engine or "in game" does not make it Gameplay. Let this go.

 

[clarky]

Let this go.

Are you high? You brought it up. Good night.

 

[Havoc2049]

The main character in this trailer looks more like a hillbilly greasemonkey mechanic named Earl, than a female.

i find it more of a mental problem of people needing attractive women in their games. Her being ugly is the point and fits in perfect with the fable theme.

It’s kinda genius tbh. Everyone losing their minds

I'd take your point more seriously if this was exclusive to this game or once in a while thing, but having very ugly butch women in games has become a common trend nowadays and is something that started not that long ago. In fact we have instances of devs openly talking on Twitter about making women less attractive on purpose as some kind of social justice statement.

 

[tusharngf]

Why can't they make good-looking characters in the game? they could have made her attractive.

 

[Rykan]

Are you high? You brought it up. Good night.

Um, No. You've been responding to several posters inaccurately claiming that Fable showed Gameplay because you don't understand the difference between "in game" and "Gameplay".

 

[supernova8]

With context (clothing, voice etc) you're like "alright fine maybe just a really ugly woman"

but then just zoom in on the face and...

that's a dude right

All I can think of in some of the shots is Nigel Planer when he was in the young ones

Jesus the amount of people talking about the main characters looks are lonely af.

It was a fun trailer. I like the look of it although I’d have liked to know what the gameplay is like.

 

[Boglin]

This is the most overweight nation in Western Europe

Around 27 per cent of Britons are now clinically obese, and another 36 per cent are overweight

Getting harder to tell, really.

There's no way the British catch up. There's a reason Americans spend so much money to keep our teeth in competition shape

Look, we can't be #1 in everything.

 

[THE DUCK]

I don't understand, why is a giant wearing glasses in midevil times? Or is it set now? Time travel?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Resident Evil 4 Remake already released and Lies of P releases this year.

Looks like The Movie Dune protagonist.

 

[FritzJ92]

This was also a in-game trailer:

That clearly says in engine.

 

[saintjules]

Looked pretty close to gameplay. What do you think?

 

[BrutalTruth_]

This trailer was shit and I hope this game flops. Also, ingame will look nothing like the cgi trailer.

Wasn't CGI but you're clearly shit posting

 

[GenericUser]

Wasn't CGI but you're clearly shit posting

We'll talk again then the game releases. The trailer was clearly dressed up to look as pretty as possible. Anyway, have fun with her/him/their adventure.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Visuals in this looked stunning

Gave me god of war vibes in terms of set pieces too

I actually think some segments were semi taken from gameplay and think this will be representative of the visual quality during gameplay even though gameplay wasn’t directly shown

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Looked pretty close to gameplay. What do you think?

I agree i think gameplay will look identical to this or pretty close

Im incredibly excited

 

[FeralEcho]

Is it weird that I want a Shrek skin mod? Because this could be perfect for it.

Well you already play as a live action Fiona so they clearly have the rights...

 

[KyoZz]

Looks amazing for real, I loved that trailer with the perfect tone and humor. Feels good to see Fable again.
And I couldn't care less about the female face, you can customize it so this is not a problem. No date is a bummer tho, let's hope it's 2024.

 

[Shh]

Why do female leads in games these days all look like big toes?

Regardless, I’m very excited about this game.

 

[FeralEcho]

Is the bottom right picture photoshop?

Both Aloy pictures are photoshopped.She looks beautiful in game

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Any word that the game features a character creator? I imagine it would.

PlayGround confirmed it was all in-game.

In-game just means In-engine right?

Maybe there’s a distinction I’m missing

 

[Sony]

No, in-game means in in-game. There were also trailers in the showcase that said in-engine.
One of the devs even confirmed on twitter it was captured on a Series X:

Very impressive, so they were basically gameplay snippets shot at cinematic angles?

Beautiful looking game

No, its cutscene snippets that are rendered in engine. There was no gameplay in the trailer.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

They could have said “real-time cutscenes”

The use of the term “in-game” makes it seem like it’s using gameplay quality assets rather than cinematic enhanced assets (despite both being real-time)

 

[Varteras]

So there are 4 levels.

CG - We know what that means.
In-Engine - Meaning it was rendered in the game engine but done so in a way that will not be replicated in the final product. Pretty much always because the consumer hardware can't pull it off in real-time. These always looks better than what you actually see in the game.
In-Game - Meaning the game will look like this in many instances but not necessarily always, depending on what is being shown. The game is capable of being rendered this way in real-time on consumer hardware.
Gameplay - What the game actually looks like when you are in control of the character. These last two can be one and the same depending.

The last two can and have looked better in trailers only to eventually be downgraded for varying reasons. But until release, there is no reason to believe they won't achieve that.

 

[Robb]

Wouldn’t surprise me if the game will look like this in the end, Forza Horizon 5 looks stunning and is a cross-gen title so the engine they’ve got seem more than capable.

If it's in-game and captured on console hardware, that's probably a pretty good indicative of what the final game will look like, barring any artistic or technical changes (like changing puddle locations).

 

[DeepEnigma]

It isn’t a 2024 game sadly, if it was they would have said it.

They just recently tweeted that they were looking for a senior gameplay designer. So yeah, explains the lack of gameplay depth and where they are at.

Humans like attractive people in mediums that are visually focused. Are you not human?

One of the devs even confirmed on twitter it was captured on a Series X:

Uncharted 4 reveal was also "captured on PS4". In offline. On a farm of PS4s. It doesn't mean anything if you don't know how exactly it was "captured".

 

[Bridges]

Phil Spencer was interviewed by Giant Bomb after the showcase, one of the hosts mentioned Fable still not showing gameplay and Phil immediately responded "Why did you think that that wasn't gameplay?"
