The 10 Best Video Game Trailers of 2016

Fable was always a game that felt like you were actually building a character how you wanted. At least in terms of shaping your path and justifying moral choices. But you were kind of tied down to the armour available in the game’s world. And while that in itself was okay, I think I’d like to have the choice to visit a blacksmith and customize my armour and weapons’ appeara

The mainline Fable adventure games crafting guide have never had subtitles. The major releases were just numerically ordered, Fable, Fable II, Fable III . However, which so much time having passed since the release of Fable 3 , it’s possible Microsoft will change things up and ditch the numerical system, similar to many recent titles in long-running franchises like Tomb Raider and DO

The trailer breaks from the franchise’s hardcore action and slows things down a bit, allowing viewers to see the softer side of the series’ protagonist, Kratos. The seasoned warrior instructs his son in the art of hunting, weaving together guidance and discipline as only a parent can. The trailer has PlayStation 4 gamers excited for the next chapter in the God of War saga, and for the new story arcs that may generate from the g

As of right now the only titles we have pegged to make an appearance during Microsoft’s press conference — as opposed to appearing on the show floor — are Gears of War 3 , Forza 4 , and a new Star Wars title developed specifically for Kinect. Aside from that the console exclusives are all left to speculation, but there are a few top tier titles that we most definitely would like to see app

While Fable proper was about taking one’s player through a pre-determined life cycle — making life-altering decisions along the way — Fable Heroes puts up to four players in control of a wide variety of Fable archetypes. Rather than giving each player the gameplay mechanics present in the RPG version of the game, Heroes designates each player’s “puppet hero” with a specific skill. There are a handful of puppets to choose from, some of which hearken back to key moments in Fable ‘s history, but all basically fall into one of three roles (ranged, melee, mag

This year’s DOOM made a huge splash in the gaming industry, receiving strong reviews from gamers and critics , and selling well both in stores and digitally. In preparation for the game’s release, id Software released a handful of trailers, including its incredible one-minute Fight Like Hell cinematic trai

There are, however, a few third-party titles that Microsoft has included as part of their press conferences in past years, that should be front and center once again — chiefly among them Modern Warfare 3 . With the map exclusivity deal between Microsoft and Call of Duty comes an assumption that Microsoft will be the company to show off the first demo of the g

As the third part of Microsoft’s Arcade Next XBLA promotion (which has included Bloodforge and Trials Evolution so far) Fable Heroes fits the casual, family-friendly bill. A cooperative button masher that combines elements of Lionhead Studios’ wildly popular series and a more traditional board game, Fable Heroes is very hard to label – and even harder to expl

Accessibility in the video games industry boomed massively in 2020. We saw Ubisoft , Naughty Dog , and other studios both big and small making efforts to allow more players to play their games. Xbox has done a great job in creating accessible experiences for players , and also has a huge focus on the tagline “When everyone plays, we all win”. With Playground Games being under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella, I’m hoping we’ll see a wealth of accessibility features done w

I’d particularly like to explore the world in the same way I was able to explore the world in Red Dead Redemption 2 or Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Both titles having an incredible number of references tucked away in with different areas. With this same sort of vastness, Fable could be ripe for having you struggle through a dark forest filled with Balverines and then emerge near a small town that’s surrounded by towering wooden wa

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a game that bleeds with interactive lore, with players picking up books about Argonian erotica or backstories on different cities. The Witcher, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, all have in-game notes to find that add even more information of the world to your lore memory bank. But with Fable, if memory serves me correctly, the lore was tucked away on an external official website rather than available in-g

Car combat returns to the PlayStation 3. Meet game directors David Jaffe ( God of War ) and Scott Campbell ( Downhill Domination ) as they introduce the demented characters of the new game, share some early looks at the game’s twisted end stories, and show concept art of the PS3 Twisted Metal that never

To kick off this year’s PlayStation Experience, Sony shared a trailer that saw a woman, dressed in a hijab, traversing a middle-eastern city at night. It wasn’t until the end that PlayStation fans learned what it was, when two characters from Uncharted 4 were revealed. The trailer announces Uncharted: The Lost Legacy , a standalone DLC experience for Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s E
