X10 brought us new information on Fable III set to come out this fall and offered us its first Developer Diary on the game.
What we know:
-Play as the 18 year old son/daughter of your Fable 2 Hero (unsure if previous actions or Fable 2 status will matter)
-You start out living under a tyrant king that you will eventually kill and take the kingdom over. Putting you in the shoes where diplomacy is necessary
-Horns/Halos aren’t the only characteristics that will change when moving towards the end of either spectrum. Wing’s can be seen in the diary.
-Weapon customization is going to be very big in this game and the appearance will alter with your Good/Evil standing.
-Touching will play a role in the game according to Peter Molyneux. In the video you can see that you can grab your girlfriend by the hand and go running through a street with her. (I am sure this can also be used to lure unsuspecting victims into a sacrifical scenario)
-The combat system appears to be a little more like Assassin’s Creed where you will trigger an animation in combat that will be both beautiful and deadly when executed.
Halo:Reach also announced the beta for the game will be on the week of May 3rd. So pick up ODST if you haven’t and get full access to the beta and also all the multiplayer maps for Halo 3.
Things you can see in the ViDoC:
-The new DMR. Single shot Battle Rifle weapon.
-Grenade launcher. Looks similar to the thumper in Call of Duty
-Civilian vehicles being driveable. (GTA:Halo)
-Assassinations.Basically as I see it the assassination feature is the angry kill of multiplayer. You hit B you will still melee them in the back of the head killing them. OR you can hold down B and impale a knife into their chest or slit their throat or something else that says “I am angry, I need to demonstrate it.”
-New sprint feature in action.
