Fable: The Journey
Fable: The Journey is the fourth video game in the Fable series, developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Microsoft Studios for Xbox 360, as an exclusive Kinect title. It was announced at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo, with a debut trailer and demo shown. It was also stated during E3 2011 that the game is a standalone title, separate from the main series.
Unlike previous games, Fable: The Journey will be developed using Unreal Engine 3.
Plot
Fable: The Journey is set five years after the events of Fable III, and focuses on Theresa and a Dweller named Gabriel as they journey across Albion to reach the Spire, in order to escape an entity known as The Corruption, which is following them. It has been confirmed that this "Fable" game does NOT deal with the ancient archon bloodline throughout the franchise.
Gameplay
Fable: The Journey is of a unspecified genre, some may call it a on-rails RPG/Shooter, yet Peter Molyneux (creator of the fable franchise) protested saying that he was in fact not satisfied with the E3 showing, and that there is a level of freedom, it is also claimed that controller support may be included as an alternative to Kinect, albeit this has not been confirmed. The game has players use Kinect to manipulate magic in order to defeat enemies. By using your hands to perform certain gestures, players can enter a spell crafting mode, which allows you to draw items with your hands and then use them as spells. This enables players to create shields, spears and hammers in order to defeat enemies. Players can also create fishing rods and telescopes, which can then be used in minigames. As you defeat enemies, you collect life force, which can be used to unlock new spells. Life force is similar to the experience system of previous Fable titles.
