Playground Games Concept Artist Has Some Interesting Posts on His ArtStation
- Thread starter Aokiji
- Start date
Yep yep. The future's exciting for both Sony and MS's 1st party efforts. I hope to get both PS5 and Scarlett so I don't miss out on anything.
They're too busy working on Knack games and weird VR nonsense. :/
Assuming the character art is the same project, then it mentioning 16th century as a visual influence coupled with the Oakvale picture makes this sound like either a prequel, or a reimagining of the original. Not my idea scenario (was hoping they'd just forget the established story and start fresh with similar themes), but much better than trying to follow on after 3.
Also I'm down for a Japan based Forza Horizon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the next installment of the regular Forza series coming out next year?
Forza Horizon 5 should literally just use the subtitle "Tokyo Drift"
25 million units sold
I loved making a stupid eurobeat playlist in FH3 but there just wasn't a location on the map to properly recreate this

Driveclub was kinda close from what I know. Still, I think that Sony shouldn't try to compete with Forza Horizon as Playground has it down to a science and persistently improves, and should instead focus on making a new take on racing. Like, maybe a kickass motocross game in a massive open-world city.I mean really, not even Sony is interested in making a Forza Horizon killer?
It would be half the game Forza Horizon is, but one set in Japan would be a day one buy.
SIE Japan Studio pls
I feel the same way about the idea that Microsoft should try to compete with Sony on AAA Third Person Action Adventures. Sony has that in the bag. Taking chances on srawling first/third RPGs and narrative action like Hellblade seem better for me from XGS.
That looks very fable, which is quite disappointing, I was expecting some sort of twisted take on fable, something darker, less vanilla medieval fantasy (edit: ok, renaissance is not that vanilla, hope they do something more interesting with the world).
On the other hand, you better put deja vu on that soundtrack

Feels like we would see Forza Motorsport 8 first, leaving FH5 for a year or so afterwards. Japan seems like an obviously amazing setting so hopefully they go for it, complete with seasons like they did before.
Fable concept art looks lovely, I do wish Microsoft would just come out and say something though. I expect they're saving it for Scarlett's reveal but god damn the Fable rumours have been swirling around for aaaaages now!
Also speaking of Lionhead revivals how about Black & White 3? Or does EA own that IP?
Yeah I know, it's probably not going to happen. I just want a Forza Horizon-esque title set in Japan, by anyone.
Yep! and it's fine, as long as it's set in Gunma.
Found this more intresting tho. Not the same artist btw
That's some fantastic art. Playground has me excited to see a new modern Fable. The waits killing me though.

This looks amazing that. She looks like Main character material. I love the design.
Forza Horizon 5 in Japan looks/sounds amazing.
On the other hand, Fable is and was always trash, so I don't understand the desire for MS to reboot the franchise. If you designed the safest, most derivative RPG and specifically targeted the audience squarely at kids under 10, you'd get Fable.

Fable and Fable 2 were amazing games.
Fable 3 was the mediocre one and the worst Molyneux game.
Not when Curiousity and the Journey exist. But I agree TLC and II are amazing and III is mediocre.
Could've easily just been a pitch for the next game though, at that point FH4 was already solid for sure.
Fable is not word for fairy fales, no? Maybe he wanted to avoid copyrights infringement since fanart is technically illegal. 🤔
Hopefully they keep that eccentric charm to the art style.
Keep it away from looking like Fable Legends pls.
