Fable franchise (Anniversary, II, & III) are all on sale ($10 ea) just before the Xbox Showcase. INTERESTING.

A silly social media post teasing Fable? I'm not buying it.

But the numbers, Mason... I'm believing it.

We're definitely seeing Fable again I feel.

The original announcement was 3 years ago. Feels abou time to get another trailer even if it's not a deep dive.

We're going to be seeing Fable at the Xbox Showcase...

...

...as a "send them home happy" effort because Starfield is delayed again.

We will all fall into a deep hole if there is no Fable at the weekend after all. The signs are clear.

Also:
Fable 3 sucks hard, don't buy it!

Is it worth playing these games in 2023 if I haven't played them before? Have they aged well?

Do we think we're getting Fable I/II remakes/remasters as well?

If Fable is over a year out..

Yoooo finally. Been wanting to pick these up and revisit these games but they hardly ever go on sale. I wonder how they hold up.

It's so people have something to play when they announce the new Fable has been cancelled at the showcase.

They definitely feel of their era. I have a lot of love/nostalgia for Fable 1 but it's hard for me to recommend unless you go into it with the mindset of "Oh, this was an OG Xbox RPG that leaned on making things simpler when at the time WRPGs were typically more complex"

I just started playing Fable the other day, and caught shit for punching a kid who was trying to convince me to break some barrels I was watching for some dude.

I dig it.

They're on sale on the Xbox store quite often, but this still seems like a good omen hopefully

I'll let this thread do the talking

www.resetera.com

Do you wish to have sex here?

So I'm playing Fable II for the first time and I got this pop up that legitimately made me laugh out loud, stop, stare in disbelief, and then take a picture of my TV Due to the nature of video games, from time to time you do get a pop up or a message that just seems absolutely batshit insane...

Fable Anniversary is, but according to price trackers II and III are not. I tried finding sales posts to counter that but wasn't able to find any.

I wish they finally released Fable 2 on PC. The first one was one of my favorite games, and I still kinda liked 3, but I never owned a console, so missed out on 2.

OP is right, 1 has been going on sale but 2 and 3 haven't in a long time.
I'm assuming partly because they're on Gamepass so MS is like "whatever". Doesn't help they aren't on PC Gamepass either, so even less reason to draw attention to them I imagine (Only Fable 1 is on both)

Something about these games was always so charming to me. I barely remember any of it now but I had such a good time with Fable 2.

Man, I hope MS eventually ports/relists Fable II and III on PC. They're not exactly amazing titles, but I have tons of nostalgia for them.

So I'm guessing we're finally gonna see fable from pg?

Then people will be soooo hyped they're gonna go and buy older entries, and what's that, it's on sale! smooth :}

I think they have a unique atmosphere and charm but they never had the biggest and best worlds to explore and the combat was never super tight. I would say they are worth at least giving a shot via Game Pass if you have an Xbox because there isn't much like them today.

I had physical copies of the Fable franchise that I sold when I got the digital editions but I had to keep Fable II around because I was waiting for a sale. Glad to see this.

Oh and also...

Maybe a Fable collection ? Phill told us that they have collections of games coming.
People were wandering if it could be Gears but maybe is both ?

I doubt there's a collection. Remastering II and III for newer audiences would be good though. I don't think Phil meant literal collections of games, but rather a variety of games.

huh, looks like they removed Fable Anniversary from GOG. It's not coming up in the search engine. I should have bought it.

Considering getting Fable 3 from Amazon for Steam for $20. Forgot it even had a Steam release.

Hoping Fable Anniversary goes back on sale again.
