Leading up to E3, the Game Rant team put together a pair of lists of our most anticipated confirmed games E3 2011 and our most anticipated rumored games . Several of the rumored games did end up being showcased at the annual Los Angeles event, but were our hopes and anticipation justif

Following the initial Kotaku report, Molyneux took to Twitter (for the first time since November 16th) to chat it up with fans and other industry icons ( Minecraft creator, Notch plus the aforementioned Cliffy B) — as well as reveal his plans for the fut

Visually, the magic casting looked great and absolutely put the player in control — allowing them to push and pull the various sprites that make up their spell. As the player progresses in level, they will not only gain more sprites to manipulate, but will also discover that pushing those sprites together creates an extremely powerful sp

Yes, Fable: The Journey might not be on rails, but there is still a ton of skeptics that are ready to meet the game head on. What Molyneux detailed, especially considering the development head’s proclivity for broken promises , might never come to fruition, but for now the title has a ton of potent

Demonstrated by Molyneux — a gamer who loves to sit back and relax on the couch — players will eventually be able to say something like, «Move you old hag,» and their horse will begin trotting off. It’s a simple concept, but one that adds to the immersion of the experie

Having recently finished Fable 3 myself, I was eagerly anticipating a reveal for Lionhead Studios’ next adventure. Though this wasn’t exactly the Fable I was looking for, I went into the demo with an open mind and came out a believer, not just because of the compelling power of Peter Molyneux’s imagination, but because the game sounds really awes

It looks like there’s a lot more to look here forward to this month, with more releases on the PS4 and Xbox One. Although it won’t be until March that the next-gen titles start pouring in, February should have many releases to keep gamers occupied. Ranters, what are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments section below! As for me, I’ll be counting the days until Thief releases on St

While development on the inevitable Fable 4 will surely be affected, the developer has agreed to stay on as a creative consultant for the studio’s Kinect/ Fable mash-up Fable: The Journey — which, like many Lionhead games, has already enjoyed a lengthy development cy

It’s hard to say that the Fable franchise was left on the best footing by 2012’s Fable: The Journey . Released last October, punctuating the Peter Molyneux era at Lionhead Studios , the game’s reception was mixed at best, with many reviews like ours highlighting some demonstrable Kinect-based gameplay flaws despite an intriguing storytelling prem

«It is with mixed emotions that I made the decision to leave Microsoft and Lionhead Studios, the company that I co-founded in 1997, at the conclusion of development of Fable: The Journey […] I remain extremely passionate and proud of the people, products and experiences that we created, from B lack & White to Fable to our pioneering work with Milo and Kate for the Kinect platform. However, I felt the time was right to pursue a new independent ventu

Currently, spell attacks can take three different forms: jettisoning a spell forward in various intensities and in varying directions, creating a magical barrier that will protect the player from attacks, or crafting an item like a spear. Fable: The Journey is still very early in development, so Lionhead hasn’t outlined just how deep the combat will be, but Molyneux promised both an experience system and a decent selection of spells to choose f

Over the years, especially after the success of the studio’s first console title, Fable , back in 2004, Molyneux has become a fan-favorite figurehead for the gaming industry — similar to the «celebrity» of similar designers like Cliff Bleszinski, Hideo Kojima, or Gabe Newell. As a result, there’s little doubt that fans of the Lionhead brand will see the departure as a potential death-blow to the studio — despite Molyneux’s co-founder, Mark Webley, sticking around to run the stu

Movement off of the buggy has yet to be clearly outlined by the team at Lionhead , but Molyneux said it would be something along the lines of pointing in a general direction. Molyneux would like players of Fable: The Journey to explore as much of Albion as they possibly can, but doesn’t want them to be hindered by the feeling that they have to be extremely active. Fable: The Journey allows the player to experience the game’s traveral in a simple and approachable
