Mods can fix her face. RELEASE THE GAME!

They can but not for the pre-rendered cut scenes

 

[Hawking Radiation]

This game is going to get a few points deducted from review scores just for this abomination.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

I honestly think she looks a decent amount more attractive in today's showing. Closer to the model.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

This looked entirely fake and like the whole thing was CGI.

If real, it's superbly impressive. If not, then shame on you Playground.

And yeah, the main character is jarringly ugly. Like it's actually distracting how butterface she is. Why devs? Why?

Gameplay?

Even last year's trailer was lifted straight from a level.

They are just really bad at showing their games. Just show an uncut demo. its not that hard.

 

[ZehDon]

Wait, we're actually stuck with that MC? We no longer have character customisation in Fable - in Fable!?

 

[TheloniusFabdul]

Well, I tried

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Imagine mega man looking like his box art in game - that would be a better MC design

 

[FlyyGOD]

She looks like she needs a good wash.

How often do you think people washed in that era?

 

[demonstr8]

It was a good trailer but there isn't really any gameplay that you can genuinely grasp from it.

 

[FlyyGOD]

Why did you pick old images instead of what was shown today? She looks way better now.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Well, I tried

Same look Ellie gave Dina after they made out. lol I think people are exaggerating about her face though. She looks just fine.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

She looks better in this trailer, completely average.
I didn't see any gameplay though. I'll just stick with kingdom come 2.

 

[clarky]

In the Fairy Tale era? No idea lol.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

EIDOS Montreal confirm is cooDev Fable with Playground....

What did Eidos Montreal do previously?

 

[March Climber]

I never thought her design was a big deal, just kinda funny, because I didn't realize she was the main character.

To me this is a good thing. It lines up with previous Fable protagonists looking like no one special. The player eventually makes the protagonist look like a hero over time.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I never liked the original Fable games but this looks fucking awesome.

Graphically stunning with lots of character.

I even like the main character. Yeah she ain’t hot, and is uglier than Aloy and maybe on par with MJ (dunno why xbros continue shitting on them both), but her Tommy boy rough around the edges look kinda fits well into the world and maybe she’ll progress into looking much better and more refined as the take progresses

Very impressed by this title, Playground is legit and we have another true next gen showcase here

In just hope it’s a meaty game and not smoke and mirrors like HB2…seriously fuck that game, this shits all over it.

 

[FlyyGOD]

In the Fairy Tale era? No idea lol.

I suppose you think poor people had bathrooms inside thier houses in the century the game is based in right?

 

[clarky]

I suppose you think poor people had bathrooms inside thier houses in the century the game is based in right?

No idea its not based in any reality?

Regardless of whether she has access to a bathroom or not she does need a damn good wash, bet her fanny stinks. Pretty sure she has access to a river. No excuses.

 

[JayK47]

I may try it assuming I can change the main character. But I doubt it has any of the charm of the original games. It looks nothing like them.

 

[peish]

I dont think it is real gameplay, more bullshot disguised as gameplay

 

[clarky]

I dont think it is real gameplay, more bullshot disguised as gameplay

It clearly is.

 

[peish]

It clearly is.

Pre-rendered or offine rendered gameplay

Something about the lighting and anti aliasing don’t add up

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Looks surprisingly awesome! Also …

 

[VanCityGamer]

The fact they've turned this around for 2025 after releasing Forza Horizon in only 2021 is insane..whole new genre, effectively a new IP. They are putting majority of devs out there to shame if they can deliver without delays

They have two completely separate teams. So FH5’s release date doesn’t have much to do with it. That team is undoubtedly working on FH6.

 

[Kumomeme]

did they use man for her motion capture?

nobody ask to have super sexy feminine walk posture at first place but she basically walk like this lol

she is not a player created character placeholder right? since some game with character creation just end up just share same motion build for both male and female character. correct me if im wrong since im not really familliar with this franchise. EDIT: apparently a placeholder character for character creation?

wait.. no offense, im not talk about her face but is she is SHE in this game?

 

[A.Romero]

I'm looking forward to play this. Don't care about the MC, it's not like I need to feel attracted to every character, not everyone can be Geralt.

 

[kikii]

The gameplay secuence in the the Village is NextGen. Forza Engine, It shows a lot of versatility. Forza Horizon 6 is sure to benefit from the engine advancements in Fable

even 10 years old mmo looks better than that ^^

 

[Kumomeme]

even 10 years old mmo looks better than that ^^

i am FF14 fans but definitely no. it is probably your art direction preferences here which is subjective.

upcoming visual upgrade for FF14 is nice but i doubt it is even close on technical wise

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks great. I dont think anything in it is a bullshot either.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Game looks fucking incredible and the MC looks fine. I just hope she doesn't end up being a unsufferable bitch like Aloy on FW.

 

[Windom Earle]

Gameplay by the way. Also won't play because of MC.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

TBH in motion she looks way better, there is obviously a difference between pre-rendered cutscenes and other gameplay snippets.

 

[diffusionx]

She's not doing weird faces that are tough to replicate in CG. The first trailer she's like Jim Carrey with the silly faces. Her face is mostly neutral in the latest trailer so it doesn't stretch believability.

This trailer is also a big shift in tone from the old one, which was really stupid “we are so le quirky British” like it was done by people who didn’t really get the old ones. Seems like somebody there did actually read the complaints and found them valid, but now we have two very different trailers a year apart with no real gameplay footage. So what the hell is this game, they’re not saying.

 

[SRTtoZ]

So much potential but it's probably gonna bomb. I still can't believe that's the design for the main character.

 

[SRTtoZ]

So many 2025 games which lets be honest a lot of them will end up slipping to 2026.

 

[Švejk]

Came into this thread to watch the trailer... Decided not to after seeing that face. Sweet Jesus that thing is ugly. And what of that ugliness makes anyone think anything remotely "Yeah! Fable!"

 

[sachos]

This looks amazing! Art design and what GI look so good.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Please tell me this has a character creator…..

Fable usually does

 

[adamsapple]

Fable usually does

At the very least a gender selector.

Or, if it is even more faithful to the originals, your characters physical appearance will change depending on your karma.

 

[Fbh]

Looks fun though a "gameplay" reveal trailer should have more gameplay and less cutscenes of peole taking IMO

 

[justsomeguy]

this place is full of incels at this point who have never seen a woman in real life. Im all for thinking forcing DEI is a bad thing, but jesus christ its just a woman

Of all the posts on the first page, THIS is the one that gets the warning. .

 

[captainnapalm]

Well, I tried

 

[Midn1ght]

This trailer definitely got me more interested, never played a Fable game before so I hope it's good.

 

[GymWolf]

What is wrong with her face. Jesus christ.

She(?) still look less nightmerish than your avatar

 

[Interfectum]

I can’t believe they are rolling with that ugly as fuck main character.

 

[Skifi28]

I suppose you think poor people had bathrooms inside thier houses in the century the game is based in right?

Fable is a medieval simulator now.

 

[SolarFry]

still ugly

 

[Life Diff]

Recognise that voice anywhere. However, naming that a 'gameplay' trailer is criminal.
