Heck, even the voice acting was ripped straight from the original titles. The music is supposedly remastered but sounds incredibly similar to the original score. The story and side quests are basically identical to 2005’s Fable: The Lost Chapters. Gameplay-wise, you aren’t going to see much difference from the original here. That’s why it’s such a breath of fresh air to get back to basics with the recent release of Fable Anniversary.įable Anniversary is a pretty standard HD remake. All these gimmicks and attempts to reinvent the franchise have amounted to a lot of frustration and a lot more disappointment. The last Fable game, Fable: The Journey, was an on rails shooter for the Kinect. The end of Fable 3 was kind of like an incredibly frustrating hybrid of Sim City and a fetch quest. This is the case with Fable, which has basically been the Xbox console line’s star RPG since the original Xbox came out with its fat hamburger controllers.įable has kind of taken a hard left turn from its traditional RPG roots. The more things change and get more complicated, the more we pine for the days when things were simple and easy to get into.
