Didn't they have a playable beta for Fable Legends? I know they were trying to tweak the balancing in the game since it was too difficult or not fun.
Beta was due some time this spring.
I wondered why this game had been in development for so long; you can only survive so many delays. Tbh I don't think there was much of a following behind the game.
Personally don't own an XONE currently but even if I did, I couldn't see myself playing this had it actually seen the light of day.
Real shame what happened with Fable. Fable was a great game; yeah it was short and linear but it laid the foundations for what could have been something special. Fable 2 built on that. So come Fable 3 I was expecting this massive open world action RPG title but instead it was Fable 2.1; it was a worthwhile play but a bit underwhelming.
Following 3, I expected a 4 but I was no longer confident the series would reach it's potential. Instead we get a Kinect game, a remake of the original and finally this multiplayer focused FTP game enters development.
Why not just make an open world Fable 4?! That's what we wanted.....
Tbf Kingdom's of Amalur brought the Fable blueprint farther than any Fable game ever did.
A real shame that it never reached its potential.
Not to say in a few years Microsoft won't farm Fable 4 out to one of it's developers when the nostalgia is at a high.
