Fable Legends. And its natural lighting.

I thought it was purely an arena brawler?

If a story gets incorporated I can't see it being anything more than a set of opponents to beat in the existing arena levels.

Frankly I thought the Beta was arse in every respect. To me it looked generic (could easily have been a Project Spark creation), performed terribly and had deeply uninteresting gameplay mechanics with poor combat flow, animation and feedback.

This is all just opinion, naturally, but to me Evolve is absolutely shaming Fable Legends with it's fresh take on 4v1. There is more character, better controls, more distinct class roles, far better level design, and more to the enemy role than just dropping waves of mobs on the map.

As much as I loved Fable 1+2 I think it's time for the franchise to be put to bed, and for MS to 'encourage' Lionhead to become independent. It's been nearly a decade since they released anything of worth.

There are far more promising developers out there, who could use Lionhead's budget to much better effect.

The game does not have single player. My understanding is that the levels are all part of a larger story arch, but they're all played 4 vs 1.

I think I'll pass...

There's a good chance I would have passed at $60, but at $0, I will definitely put some time into it.

 

[iroboto]

lol ha, me 2. I wanted to see the game for dynamic GI, but at $0 dollars, no reason to not try it out. It might be alright if it has decent gameplay. However the reviews are not looking that way so far.

To me, the game really hinges on the villain role. The villain has to have good tools to make the game challenging for the heroes, and enough people need to want to play the villain regularly and get good at it. If you get matched up with a shitty villain, the match will not be fun. I thought Evolve was a bag of dicks because of the 4vs1 concept, and I'm not sold on the idea here either.

ideally AI would be enough here, but I agree for it to be fun, the game must be fair 4v1 and the villian must be good enough to defeat the 4. I may actually start playing by becoming a villian expert, I guess it's RTS like. I used to play Fantasy Themed Board games like Descent, and it's alright being the overlord.

not details have been announced yet. But I imagine you require Windows 10 to play. You'd open up the Xbox App and download it I think.

New screen shots that are apparently the dx12 version of the game? I would understand better if they did a before and after. But game looks great and busy. Nice environment! I assume this is the PC ver.

I see polygons but having trouble finding aliasing.

I see polygons but having trouble finding aliasing.

The resolution of the image according to my MBA is
1920 × 1127
Not that it couldn't be upscaled, but I don't see any upscaling either, and you're right it's hard to find aliasing.

Pretty sure this is PC. The textures are extremely sharp. There is 1 image that may not be - the one with the 2 goblins and the girl.

 

[Davros]

If its p.c why the bizzare resolution?

 

[iroboto]

Might be best to get pixel counting in there. They may have cropped it funny.

 

[iroboto]

@Globalisateur Hey Global, do you think you can help us with these two shots?
This one I think is 900p upscaled

This one I have no idea

This one shot is particularly nice imo: Hard to believe there isn't some procedural generation happening here, this looks painstaking.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

The last two images are native res (at least, look it to me!). Middle pic has heavy sharpen filter applied. I expect PC given vertical res.

 

[Jwm]

That one toon has thrown me off since they released the pics, it has to be the color of the dress that somehow ruins the overall image. I just can't put my finger on it, there was another pic that Lionhead put out with her on it and I got the same weirdness from it. Might just be something with the way my brain works.

Do you see White and Gold? Or Blue and black ?

The art for this game has come a long way from the original pictures posted at the beginning of this thread.

 

[Scott_Arm]

New pics look great.

 

[orangpelupa]

that looks nice! love the mix of "painting-like" and "realistic-like"
