Joins or creates? Either way, meh. Never been impressed by much that man has produced*. He's king of PR if you ask me, not so much the hero of the industry that the press seem to hail him as.

*Yes, I accept that the Fable series is probably great but it's never appealed to me so I've never played it, but Populous and Magic Carpet - meh.

So that means fable 4 will be great and not good.

Fable is more than just Molyneux. It would be just as poor if it was developed by a new studio with no experience working on the series than soul-less old Microsoft.

Besides, isn't Fable a Microsoft propert anyway? Plus, you don't set up a new game studio to work on an already established series.

Hopefully the same doesn't apply to The Movies, but then again, Microsoft probably acquired them when they bought out Lionhead. The question is, can Lionhead continue to thrive without Peter Molyneux? EDIT: And looking at Lionhead's two new games, Fable Heroes and Fable: The Journey, Jesus Christ - no wonder he wanted to leave.

Fable isn't bad. It's pretty average. People hate on it my opinion because of the hype machine that gets behind it regardless of the fact that it's only an average product.

'fable' was fun. 'fable 2' was a lot of fun. i know some don't care for them, but i did. i don't understand giving opinions on games that one doesn't play in the first place. i don't like fps games, but i don't post about how poor they are when i don't freakin' play them.

While I agree the Hype train is waht kills it. With Molyneux gone that should syop. Saying its only averrage is a true Disservice. The charm of the world of Fable and The Caliber of the Voice Acting is good enough to make it Good and even great. There's a reason that Before Skyrim, Fable was arguably the Most popular WRPG among Non-gamers and gets really good review scores.

You have to remember there's more to games than Gameplay me friend. The Over all art Direction, Sound Engineering, and Graphical Fidelity is better than many so called better games.

Same here, I didn't care too much for Fable at all, though it had a nice concept of your actions having a last effect.

Fable was a lot of fun. Fable 2 was rather mediocre and really just felt like they cut down the first game and put new characters in it.

Before Skyrim, Oblivion was the most popular. Before Oblivion it was probably the KOTOR series or Morrowind.

I don't remember a lot of non hardcore takers chating up on on obliviqn and Morrison's. Even motor. Those were super geeky gamer games.

I'd say fallout was the first one with big mainstream appeal.
