i very much agree with you about the legendary weapons and demon doors.
i liked all 3 fable games but fable the lost chapters is by far the best.
if lionhead plans to do a 4th game i really hope it will be a prequel to the original game.
as for plot, fable was about heroes and the heroes guild, fable 2 and 3 completely abandoned the foundation that the original game had set. i want to fight alongside and against other heroes again. i want to experience the whole story of the old kingdom and the heroes guild, to see maze, scythe, and the guild master in their prime.
as for gameplay, i think fable 3 had perfected the magic system, it was much more fun and easy to use than fable and fable 2's systems. the melee combat a different case in fable 3. it's very slow...even with the sword, and you use it like a villager, not a hero. compared to the magic, it's a boring way to fight. i miss the 1st melee system where you get 2 o 3 hits in and then you can flourish, instead of charging up a flourish at the expense of your ability to block attacks. i hope the next game will bring back the fun and power into the melee fighting.
thats enough typing for now.
sry if this is bumping but well.. it sounds cool and interesting but well now i never played the original because i got some bad info about it so.. but well something cool would be if fable 4 would be a continue to fable 3 so that if you got fable 3 save where you have completed the game you would be able to import your fable 3 character.. but if the game would let you continue as the ruler of albion it could be cool and if then got a prince or princess just to make the game a bit real.. and then you were supposed to like in the original game fight other heroes and upgrade and build new things.. to albion and to fight the heroes it would be to protect your kingdom so something that continues the game and then also something that relate to the original game what about that?
that sounds interesting, but i heard the same thing about the spiderman movies after the first one came out and those have been a big let down.
Just FYI Spidey 4 is in production. So nothing is impossible.
true, but both toby maguire and the original director are out on that one, quantity is not always better than quality.
