What was possible for open-world RPGs in 2004 versus what can be achieved now is drastically different. There are some exceptions, Morrowind managed to bring a well-realized open world to the Xbox, but Fable, visually, was a far superior game, obviously leading to restrictions in other areas. The core elements of RPGs have remained the same, but morality systems are an exception. For the past few decades, what gamers want out of a morality system has shifted dramatically, and with it, the way that gamers think about a narrative as a wh
By its own admission, Microsoft has had difficulty delivering console-exclusive games to the Xbox One on a consistent basis. At E3 2018, the company has the chance to reverse public opinion on its exclusives lineup, and if any of the rumors surrounding its lineup are true, then it may very well get the job d
Updated on August 22nd, 2021 by Ritwik Mitra: When the topic of open-world games is brought up, most people think of games that take hundreds of hours to complete. After all, the very concept of open-world gaming has been attached to lengthy titles for the longest time; however that isn't necessarily the case. In fact, there are several games that adopt the open-world formula, but craft titles that serve as short and concise experiences. Keeping this in mind, here are some of the shortest open-world video games ever m
Microsoft still stole the show with its briefing, though. The Halo and Gears announcements were well received, among others, but none as much as the upcoming console now going by the name Project Scarlett.
He is also a unique dog character since he can talk and is either a boss, sidekick, or protagonist. He is just a famous traveling artist and sticks true to the laid-back and cute style of Animal Crossing ga
Nintendo is enjoying a serious comeback with the Nintendo Switch after the general sales failure that was the Wii U. Considering this, the Big N will want to keep the momentum going at E3, and if some leaks and rumors are to be believed, it will be an E3 Nintendo Direct to remem
Gothic is unique because it treats the world like a realistic place with magic and large threats. Most NPCs look out for themselves and the combat in this game is brutality incarnate. There is a charm to this game, however, that sets it apart from the likes of Skyrim or The Witcher . When you grow more powerful in this game, it feels earned. It encourages you to think outside of the box to exploit NPCs and finish quests. It never received a large following, however, something a reboot could help fix.
This all raises quite a few ways that the morality system for Fable could change , but the key factor will be making it less black and white. Villains portrayed simply as those that needlessly slaughter citizens isn't an engaging way to portray a character anymore, even if those actions are "villainous." Instead, it's important that Fable introduces some level of ambiguity for decisions to the next game, and shows players the weight of their acti
Of all of the games rumored for the Xbox Series X, a reboot of Fable is one of the most anticipated. While the game is in no way confirmed, there are rumors that Fable will appear at Xbox's exclusive presentation in July , resurrecting a franchise that hasn't received a true new entry in almost a dec
Reboots have become more common recently, bringing older titles to modern audiences with some tweaks and innovations to hold its own. This is usually done for more big-budget titles like Call of Duty , but underrated franchises that never got a large following would benefit greatly from this. Ranging from cult classics to more modern titles, here are 10 underrated franchises that need a reboot.
Following all of the rumors/leaks surrounding an upcoming Fable game, we now know that the title is indeed in the works. Despite the fact that the game is already in development, there was nothing on it during Microsoft's E3 2019 presentation and it did not tell us why.
In fact, it is one of the most pirated games Ubisoft has ever created. Why? Because you can't buy it legally anywhere. It's missing on Steam , GOG , and even Ubisoft's own UPlay store. It receives that attention for good reason, though . This game allowed players to control any vehicle on the road, allowing for some creative puzzles and narrative elements no other driving game has since attempted. It is also the only video game to attempt a second-person perspective for Han Shot First Evidence a level. This game was truly innovative and creative, which makes it even worse that you can't legally purchase it anymore.
Microsoft's flagship franchise is also expected to make an appearance during its E3 2018 press conference. The rumor is that a project called Halo Infinity will be announced at E3, but whether or not it's meant to be Halo 6 or something else entirely remains to be s
