E3 2011 Awards Nominations

Still, after a demo that was less than desirable, Fable: The Journey has rebounded nicely with an intriguing concept and storyline. This could very well be the first hardcore Kinect title worth picking


"As co-founder of Lionhead and an integral part of Microsoft Studios, Peter was the creative visionary behind the blockbuster Fable franchise, and one of our most passionate and influential developers for the Xbox 360 platform. He has made an indelible mark on the games industry and we wish him all the best of luck in his future endeavo


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


Since, contrary to popular opinion after the Microsoft press conference, players will actually be able to explore a large chunk of Albion in Fable: The Journey , we thought it important to report-on the context for this advent


With a new engine delivering improved visuals, and a new way to execute combat and traversal, Fable: The Journey has the chance to make great headway for the Kinect hardware. Molyneux seems like he understands Kinect much better than other developers, and he promises to make a believer out of each and every naysa


Saturday there will be panels for Rock Band 3 , Dance Central , Red Faction: Armageddon , Epic Mickey and Guild Wars 2 . While these panels may not be as big as the ones taking place on Friday, there should still be lots to keep your eyes


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


As with all other conventions, Sunday is generally the day where everything descends into a sort of lull compared to the previous three days. As in previous years, Sunday is set aside for the show's more kid-friendly content, so it's no surprise that the big games we'll see are Marvel's Super Hero Squad Online and LEGO Universe . Sure, they may not be as big as, say, Halo: Reach or Gears Of War 3 , but you never know -- they could hold some pleasant surpri


By incorporating the idea of spell-weaving into the combat of Fable: The Journey , the player will not be taken out of the experience, but instead will fall deeper into the idea that they are creating and controlling a wide variety of spe


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


As mentioned, Molyneux makes it clear that, while he is leaving the studio, he'll continue to oversee the upcoming casual but hardcore-friendly Kinect title , Fable: The Journey (slated for release in 2012) as a creative consultant - even though he's moving on to start another studio, entitled 22 C


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


Also responding to the player’s decisions will be the horse that navigates your buggy in the game. Dependent on how you treat your horse — whether you break out your whip to travel a bit faster or not — the equestrian creature might develop a luscious glow or could be all skin and bones. Think of Fable: The Journey ’s horse as this version's dog, how you interact with the horse will determine whether you are a noble or an evil charac


You can be sure that we'll have news straight from the Gears Of War 3 panel, as Cliff Bleszinski will no doubt surprise fans with new information regarding the ultra-violent title. Without a doubt, this should be one of the biggest days of the event for gam


Fable: The Journey is expected to be released this year, so it's certainly possible that Molyneux's work on the game is mostly complete - as the title, presumably, is in the hands of department designers and no longer requires larger visioning or shaping. That said, it's much more likely that development on the inevitable (yet unannounced) Fable 4 will take the biggest hit (not to mention the recently announced Fable: Heroes ) - given how involved Molyneux has been with the previous full-scale Fable secrets|https://fablelegendary.com/ adventu


But if anything, The Journey did offer the series room to breath after its three main installments between 2005 and 2010. Creator Peter Molyneux has already promised that Fable 4 would come to fruition at some point in the foreseeable future, and a pair of job listings from Lionhead Studios suggests that a major series overhaul -- perhaps even a full reboot -- is underway for the next generat
