Video Gaming News - July 2004
Redmond, WA (July 14, 2004) - Microsoft Game Studios today announced a
pre-order deal with EB Games, GameStop, Circuit City, GameRush, GameCrazy and
Trans World to give gamers who pre-order Fable an exclusive Fable documentary
DVD.
From Microsoft:
The limited edition DVD, available only with a Fable pre-order, contains a
"making of" documentary featuring interviews with renowned game designer Peter
Molyneux, as well as Simon Carter and Ian Lovett. The disc also includes
playable demos of Sudeki, RalliSport Challenge 2 and Top Spin; plus gameplay
trailers from E3 2004 for Forza Motorsport, Jade Empire, Conker: Live and
Reloaded and MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf. Fable, the highly-anticipated
role-playing adventure for Xbox is in development by Peter Molyneux's studio,
Big Blue Box, and is set to hit retail shelves in the United States on September
14 with an estimated retail price of $49.99 (U.S.). Fable's U.S. release will be
followed by a European release in October and will ship in Asia in early 2005.
In Fable, the players’ every action determines their character's skills,
appearances and moralities. Character's life stories are created from childhood
through adulthood and on to old age. They can grow from an inexperienced child
into the most powerful being in the world, spoken of by all and immortalized in
legend. Players may choose the paths of righteousness or dedicate their
characters' lives to evil; observing as they transform into reflections of their
actions and decisions. Age leaves characters wizened, battle leaves them
scarred, gluttony affects obesity. With experiences come advancement and
physical change; whether it is by expanding muscles, a keen eye and nimble form
or the buzz of magical energies around their finger tips. As players' characters
develop, the world reacts to them and their actions. People comment on their
successes, failures, appearances and behaviors. Their many opinions are
expressed through applause, mockery, trepidation, panic and even flirtation.
With each person characters aid and every creature they slay, the world is
changed forever. In Fable, gamers decide: “Who will I be?” For more information
