Head Of Xbox Studios Says Developer Behind 'Fable' Reboot Is Aiming To Bring The Series Forward "For Today's Sensibilities"
Head of Xbox Studios Matt Booty has stated the Fable reboot will be brought forward "for today's sensibilities," and be a "modern take."
Aaaand any potential interest that I had is gone. I really shouldn't get my hopes up for anything anymore, should I?
Yep. This is why we can't have nice things.
They are replacing "for modern audiences" with “for today’s sensibilities"
So they'll just flip good and evil, then?
Funnest time in Fable was being a fat evil fuck who shot lighting from my fingers to kill people.
All that concept needs is a wreath of pink hair around the male pattern baldness and an "IT'S MA'AM" style, and it'll be a perfectly 'modern' hero.
"RIDE THE LIGHTNING, BIGOT!"

making tranny characters because you find them ridiculously hilarious!
It's a subtle but important switch. 'For modern audiences' suggests it's the company's responsibility to keep up with its customers. 'For today's sensibilities' acknowledges that it may not be audience-driven, but that the audience needs to keep their morality up to date with $currentYear, as dictated by the company.
This guy IQ points.
The euphemism treadmill was always leftist marketing.
At this point, it's basically a given with reboots, and they're just wasting their breath talking about it. They might as well save everyone the effort and only mention it when they're not raping the franchise.
Today's sensibilities are shit and should be scorned.
The myth of the modern audience.
Fable actually had a very good story, tbh.
The thing is, I can't tell if "modern sensibilities" means that the fart button will be removed because it's too trollish behavior, or if it will be used embraced as a romance feature because it's so degenerate.
Maybe the loot boxes will cost more if you're evil.
I'm guessing the evil option comes with a red hat and the good option gives you blue hair and a nose ring.
What the fuck could that even mean in Fable's case? What do they think they need to change lol.
Definitely will be waiting for this to release and seeing gameplay before taking any chances.
so you want a skinsuit
Here's the thing. The "series" was shit, 2 was bad and 3 was atrocious. The only good one was the first one.
But hey, another shitty woke reboot, ill pass.
For what is worth I had some fun with 2
I liked them all well enough, and would certainly take more entries just like them compared to any "rpg" we get today.
So just a different level of shit to what the game turned into.
Say goodbye to the Male or Female option!
A regressive reimagining.
So, it'll be like FH5, with superfluous options like prosthetic limbs and hearing aids for your character.
Honestly, I wish they weren't making Fable either. You can tell they're busy by how repetitive the car releases are in FH5. "Here's a car that got dropped from FH3/4 because we don't have time to model a new one."
