that depicts the once charming and quaint town of Bowerstone as a dingy, smoke-filled, industrialized, port-type area. It's quite the contrast to the Bowerstone of Fable II

, but, actually, I'm kind of digging the look of it. A darker tone, a little Project Natal integration (assuming it isn't lame and/or gimmicky)and overseeing an Albion on the brink of collapse? Expression --> dance.
And just for reference's sake, here's Bowerstone as you once knew it:

That looks. . . interesting. I'm not sure what to think about that.

I do like that for once in a fantasy game we're seeing the civilization evolve over the course of the series. it's cool that they are advancing to new ages as time goes on.
Sometimes I wonder if the people of Hyrule will ever industrialize anything
JTHMROCKS
I thought the first two Fables were great sans whatever anyone else says. I'll pick up Fable 3.
kujel
I like the sound of being more industrialized.
GingerKid
I'm goin to assume that is a dark, dingy image from early in the game and as you make hero choices it will become brighter and cheerier

Fable is about the most over rated game franchise Ive ever played. Its like a Baldur's Gate without any of the depth. Im betting a lot of you guys like it though because you can sex up the ladies in the game. to yall i say, just keep living that thug life
SmarterThanYou
No thanks. This is an easy pass.
gamersince1995
well i think is OK but using NATAL with it mhmmm too lazy for it... fail.
FuzzyHammer
I won't buy anything using natal. motion control = fail.

I don't know what to think. I liked the first 2 Fable's for what they were, but hearing Peter talk about it made me feel a but hopeless about Fable 3. they are always adding new stuff but never bother to get the formula right on the stuff already existent.
Fable 3 better have like 300 different outfits and armors, the legendary weapons better be better then the normal weapons, there better be a way to be evil besides shooting everyone you see, and there needs to be bigger and badder fights. I was completely disappointed by the super scripted trolls.
EldritchWarlord
Wow, you guys sure are a close-minded bunch.
I for one am looking forward to this game, it would be very interesting to see how they use Natal.

Ugh, Fable 2 will be last lionhead game I ever buy. The first one was kinda fun, I thought it had promise, the second one took the worst parts of Fable 1 and made a whole game out of them plus adding a whole bunch of pointless minigames. I don't care what score it gets, I though fable two would be a sure thing with a 5/5 but it buying it was the single worse gaming mistake I ever made. Beat it in four days and traded it in for fallout, now that is a real game!

I like the fact that the first image portrays a dark and unforgiving town. Maybe Lionhead is finally starting to realize a darker fantasy where everything just doesn t work out the way we would like. I liked Fable 2 but it failed when put up against Fable 1. The Hero vs. Evil choice system needs to be left behind; we need more grey area in the next game. No more golden labs against black pit bulls. I want a chihuahua thrown in the mix! A world that reflects the exact personality of the ruler. Obviously the world of a king that has done no wrong needs to be different than one that was evil but somehow started eating healthier and became good.

The "Hero vs. Evil" choice system needs to be left behind; we need more grey area in this one. No more golden retrievers against black pit bulls. I want to see a chihuahua thrown in the mix! A world that reflects the exact personality of the ruler/player. Obviously the world of a king that has only done good deeds needs to be different than a world where the king was significantly evil but somehow became good by eating a bunch of carrots.
SchoolBoyReggin
hands down im gonna play this game unless u have 2 have natal and it doesnt come with the game...
SchoolBoyReggin

Falloutthree

I really have enjoyed the first two games and the fact that they have taken place in the areas. It has really been fun to visit areas again and see how they have changed through time. Again it seems Lionhead studios is doing a great job pushing the timeline forward and still managing to leave things familiar for those who have been along for the whole the ride.

I've never played FABLE before but after hearing rumors that it could be using NATAL in some way, I'm hyped for FABLE III.
EchoEpsilon
I'm looking forward to Fable III. I think it's funny how there is only one heir to the throne in this game, but in Fable II I had 5 kids.
