Lionhead Fancy Dress

So when someone asks you to a costume party, what are you going to go as? Well, since I am a massive Fable fan, and have a love for D&D and all things fantasy it has to be something along those lines right? Well, I have managed to get a good get up for a Fable II era costume going on, complete with sword, shield, cloak, shirt, and all the rest of the Colonial paraphernalia.


That's the outfit going on there, carefully put together on photoshop for your viewing ease. All from the lovely www.primalforge.com as well.

Will be drinking a beer and singing of the Sandgoose, Avo's Tear and all other things...including the Singing Sword. Will post pictures of my Fable exploits.

More Voice Actors Join the Cast

So we know that the awesome Stephen Fry is going to be putting his mark on the game, returning as Reaver in Fable III. But who else is going to be walking the streets of Albion? Well the first, according to his Twitter feed is going to be Jonathan Ross who, in response from Sam will be code named 'Barry' for now. Whether or not that's the actual name of his character we do not know, but its all pretty interesting stuff.

Ross, who is one of Britain's best loved chat show/radio hosts has previously been in Halo 3, part of the 'extra' voice work that you can hear from marines as they wander around killing Covenant. But, just from his picture here he would be right at home in the quirky world of Albion.



As well as this we have the tweet from Sam that there is another famous woman's voice returning and he is off to film here today. This is a double-whammy as not only does it possibly point to the voice of Hammer returning, but also that the next Video Diary is going to be pretty interesting, possibly looking into the characters we will meet along our journey.

Will keep you posted as always.

Being a little Creative...

So was looking at the forum and found that I had a little thread I could actually give a good contribution too. So, follow my example and go to the link below and add your own Fable III box art to the thread, see what the community thinks. Its pretty good, got me flexing the photoshop fingers again that's for sure.

Here is mine anyway!



What do you think? And here is the link...

Box Art!

Also, after a bit of tinkering I thought I would do some colouring in...yes, very primary school but this was on a laptop so its 'cooler'. So, here is my attempt to colour in the wonderful sketches from Fable I and The Lost Chapters.



Enjoy, even the red beard!

Emotions in Games

Peter is a lover, not a hater. Well, he still drags beggars off to factories and sells them into slavery, but I digress. Below is a nice link to a good interview about emotions in games and especially those in Fable III.



Fable = Love

As well as this he talks about the dog, the heroes journey, and the way in which we should view games now, especially as a medium of art. Hope you enjoy it.

Hot Air?

I usually do not put much of a thought towards OXM UK or indeed the American version. But when I saw this article about Peter and Fable III I was a little bit peeved.

Tosh...

I would be inclined to actually believe and think about their statement in the article were it not for the fact that their reviewers did not even fully finish Fable II and did not know who Reaver was, or that it was voiced by Stephen Fry! Smacks a little of laziness to me, its not as if the game is that long story wise and bare bones to finish.

Either way, ranting aside and a calm hat on. They believe that Peter is spewing hot air and gas on the gaming front again, with innovation and such like, but to be honest surely all he has said is that they are starting again and making it all the better for the player. If he started showing content now surely thats like shooting yourself in the foot if it doesn't meet the final cut?

Would like to here your opinions on this, but in my mind I don't see anything wrong with Peter's enthusiasm at this point...coming from a critical standpoint here.

The Times: Interview and Release Date?

The Times online have managed to get an interview with the man himself, so in the effort to keep up the link dumping and all these Peter obsessed posts, here it is to whet your appetite.


Shut off Dates and Fancy Swords

He sounds as enthusiastic as possible. Wish this guy was my Literature professor, would get so much more work done!

IGN: Touch, Morphs, Weapons

IGN go for it with a nice interview with Peter about Weapons and weapon crafting, Morphs and how the come out and effect you, the choices you make in the game and ruling the world.


For Every Choice a Consequence

Finally as well the above moniker is actually going to mean something. You own Albion after you take down Logan, so lets see how this one rocks out.
