This Week in Gaming: May 5-11 Highlights

The nominations were decided by all 11 of the Game Rant staff in attendance for E3 and are based upon our previews, demos and hands-on experiences with all of the available titles at the event this y

For those who had a hard time getting the original game and its expansion pack Fable: The Lost Chapters to run on the 360, it’s a real shame that the re-worked effort is also set to become immediately outdated. Developing the game as an Xbox 360/ Xbox One downloadable might have made more sense, given the timing of the anniversary as slap bang in the middle of the second wave of Xbox One tit

The Journey evoked the past the franchise is sorely in need of honoring. The hiring of Needham could presage the concepts it uses to do so uniquely. Whether or not fable patch notes|https://fablechronicle.com/ 4 would find success with such a model, well, that’s another matter entirely. But with Microsoft anxious to preview its exclusive launch line-up for the next-gen Xbox both at its May 21 press conference and, doubtless, E3 2013 , it might be long before we find

Seeking to fill vacancies for an animation director and a core engine programmer , the listings became notable for their job descriptions and preferred-experience requirements. Both positions, they read, will be «key contributor[s] on an unannounced title,» and both desire applicants with «knowledge of Unreal Engine 3 and/or

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

For many gamers, Fable ‘s 2004 debut marked a high-water point for the quirky, irreverent series. With its expansive scope, cosy tone and unashamedly puerile humor, the title earned its way to plenty of plaudits, and even more admiring follow

Welcome to This Week in Gaming, where we take a look back at some of the most newsworthy events in gaming history from last year to even decades ago that happened this very week. Take a gander at some of the highlights and see which spark nostalgia and which may still be news to you.

While most of the nitty gritty about Fable: The Journey was revealed as part of our E3 2011 preview of the game, Lionhead Studios’ Peter Molyneux also shared a few details in regards to the game’s st

That criteria is consonant with a Lionhead job listing which surfaced last year, brimming with suggestive language related to next-gen engine/graphical design. There are some curious distinctions, however, present in the animation director description that point directly toward work on the Fable franch

One of the franchises that came out largely unscathed by excessive multiplayer capabilities was the Fable series. While Fable III did boast co-op capabilities, Lionhead Studios has never done anything quite on the scale of what it is attempting with the newly announced Fable Legends . The franchise’s next-gen debut, an Xbox One exclusive, is an ambitious online jump for the series, allowing up to four players the opportunity to work together in order thwart another player taking on the role of the vill

Obviously there are still more Fable: The Journey details on the way, with this E3 2011 demo focusing only on showcasing the tech of the game rather than the final product — and with that also comes the opportunity for some of these story details to change or be altered. The general idea, we imagine, should be preserved, but things like Fable 3 save game interaction might change over t

It was the console to beat all others. Nintendo announced its new system two years before its unveiling. It was named, «Revolution» and had everybody buzzing. We now know it as the Wii— a less than threatening name that is more suited to Nintendo’s goals. «Revolution» served as a wonderful project title filled with mystery and excitement. However, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, it would not translate well under many other languages. Plus, a name like that would have probably caused an uproar from Americans stating the Japanese are out to get them again. That didn’t happen…at least to my knowledge. Wii is friendlier and less menacing. Nintendo was right about the Wii’s original namesake, it did cause quite the revolution in the video game industry because of its highly advanced motion sensor system.
