According to fans, the first Fable is one of the best role -playing games in history
Fable is a fantasy series released on the first Xbox, which, apparently, in the near future expects a full restart. After the release of the old parts, the next part was also announced, which is still in development.
And according to the GamingBible portal, in fact, the original Fable, created by Big Blue Box Studios and released for the first Xbox in 2004, is still in the hearts of fans. In the Reddit group, fans shared their love for the game, which came out almost 20 years ago.
In the original Fable there was one of the most beautiful atmospheres, ”wrote the user ExtraterRestrialsoul, starting a discussion in this topic. I know that Fable is not an perfect game, but I like its atmosphere and medieval setting. The artistic direction distinguishes it from all other role -playing games. I think an important role is also played by the defiant and magical soundtrack. The game has a huge charm. I really hope that they will not spoil the new Fable game, because the original occupies a special place in my heart.
Original Fable – one of my favorite Western role -playing games. Arena zone is my beloved, ”answered Redxiii1888.
I completely agree, the original was a fabulous atmosphere, which is simply indescribable. This made the world an interesting place for research, even if the gameplay was a little boring. Elementary, – wrote singh853.
Fable was one of my favorite games, and the quest of the dark -collapse of the leadership of the merchants always made me be nervous, ”said Hamncheese.
So far, the new Fable does not have a release date, but we know that it will be released on PC and Xbox Series X | S. In addition, PlayGround Games has already told her fans that they were not tolerated to show them "All the wonderful that they created".
Yeah, the sincere game turned out.
Then they are fans. But what would not be said to this?
The same, I’m not a fan, but I think that Fabeel is very unique and interesting RPG
Not fans will again lick shit 3
Like not a fan, I will say that Gothic is the best role -playing game
how not a fan I think The Sims is the best role -playing game
But they were in vain. In the sims, the roles are very well worked out
There was just what he expected to see Legashi in Hogwords, but alas, they didn’t bring it there. Namely, the fact that at the beginning the hero is a small stellar who lives his carefree childish life. Then he grows up and goes to school. There he studies his first skills. Then growing up again and now he is a young man, passes an exam on an adventurer and embarks on wanderings, perform quests. Then he is put in jail, he runs out of it, being already a yellow person. Then a little more wanderings and Makhach with the main boss. Then you can put on his mask yourself and become a villain or throw it out and remain a hero. Yes, the game does not have a huge now fashionable Openvurld, but she does not need him. After all, the majority of the people in real life live their life, without leaving beyond their Mukhosransk, moving their body between several locations. Kindergarten, school, university, work, grocery magazes, house. And so to the very end. And the first plot is just about this, about the living of the usual life of an adventurer in the fentassian world. And it was this concept that she took. Because games with such mechanics can be counted on the fingers.
After all, the majority of the people in real life live their life, without leaving beyond their Mukhosransk, moving their body between several locations. Kindergarten, school, university, work, grocery magazes, house. And so to the very end.
But this was now a shame 😢
And there was also a lamp and cozy atmosphere in it. Before that, this is only in Medievil on the first dog.
This is about the running skeleton? Dene Fortescue?
Yes. Much later, I found out why Fabel gives Medievil so. The soundtrack wrote the same person.
In the sense of the same? Medievil Paul Arnold and Andrew Barnabas wrote, and to Fabel a certain russell shaw which I do not know by any other games
Damn for sure. And where did I get it from?
But the music is very similar.
Took place on PSP in 2007)))
I read the news and I just remembered the music from the game).
Look, this is the famous Kuroshchup! You, like, feel the chickens?
Fabel is one of the best games of all time for me, periodically all the parts I am inverse
1 fable is one. Did not do more such games.
Unique fairy -tale RPG, rethrite only that with industrialization the series has lost this fairy tale.
Yes this is true. 5 times played in it
I remember was very impressed after passing 1 part and hoped that their ideas were evolving, and there would be many more masterpieces. I represented how the topic with the birth and growth of the hero (from a baby/child to an adult hero, and then the old man) would improve even more in the new part. I hoped that in the future they would release something like this:
– Ideally, I saw how the player creates an approximate character, which then grows and develops depending on the actions of the player. We get a baby that grows every game year.
– You can skip and miss years or try to do a maximum for each year of the hero. Extend the years of life with elixirs or get old.
– The physique of the hero changes depending on the characteristics and affects his actions in battle. For example, pitching in armor so that it was difficult (almost impossible) to knock down, but it would be more clumsy, and dodger, on the contrary. Or create a magician who prepares in advance for battle with the help of spells and works out the strategy ahead of the drill (harvesting runes-traps in advance, or from afar, a large badabum is cast).
– Scars from battles. Can be removed with elixirs or leave. I would also add cuts off with subsequent prosthetics or restoration using expensive magic/elixirs).
– The world and NPS are also changing over the years. Ideally, the seasons would have changed..
– The player is provided with a big open world (as in Gothic 3, The Elder Scrolls or something similar).
– Improved compared to 1 part of the battle system. Multiclite of the character.
– Mounts or vehicles.
– The level and characteristics of the hero do not affect his age, but affects the attitude of others.
For example, if you are wars with a powerful physique, so that the NPS is noted. Or if you are a magician. If you have a magician+wars, then it’s generally a different reaction.
As it would affect the battle. For example, your hero is higher than opponents of levels at 20-30 and you use something like skill mass agrais+an increase in attack ("The thirst for murder"). If you are much higher than others in level, then they begin to scatter or nervous in fear, someone can paralyze from fear, but if you are approximately equal or the enemy is stronger, then in response to this skill a strong enemy will only laugh. It’s not so difficult to realize all these mechanics for experienced developers, there would be a desire, but it will look very cool in my opinion.
I wanted to play something like that. But the foot went somewhere in the incomprehensible side, moving away and farther with each new part (until I finally parted with hope and scored a bolt on it), plus it is an exclusive cartilage.. = _ = Although today such a game, provided that the high quality of its implementation could be no worse than Baldur’s Gate 3.
And I remembered. I played a little in 3 part, but something she didn’t go and deleted something at all.
Diablo 4 players are already starting to enrage that Blizzard is constantly climbing with its nerfas, without offering anything useful
There are such ruins Erid in Diablo 4, a dungeon that was a great place for pumping thanks to the abundance of elite enemies. Throw it out of your head, because the ninth Blizzard update is a nervous dungeon, as a result of which the amount of spavna of the elite fell sharply, and you will have to work hard to get additional paragon points after the level of the 50th level.
Hotfix was released on June 12, and made changes aimed at "Standardization of the density of elite monsters that spawn in dungeons", to make sure that "No specific dungeon is clearly more effective for passing than others". In short, in places such as Erida, there will no longer be noticeable more elite monsters full of XP and Luta than in other gloomy holes Diablo. Fans, as expected, are not enthusiastic.
Sabredit Diablo 4 is already crowded with dissatisfied players: several topics devoted to complaints about patch were scored thousands of likes and various Reddit awards. One of the most popular is the theme of Audiorejectz, entitled "Racks, we run around the dungeons to get the level, because XP sucks everywhere!". In the message, which at the time of writing the article scored more than 5.7K likes and ten awards, Blizzard is criticized by the fact that instead of improving the alternative sources XP, Blizzard cuts existing.
Audiorejectz claims that the reason why Diablo players, especially solo, continue to return to XP farms like Erida, is, "that XP is in any other place, it’s crap, everything is simple". Further, the topic says that "World bosses, nightmare dungeons – all of them need Buff on XP" So what "It’s a shame when Blizzard makes the level more and more difficult, especially for player solo".
Judging by the number of likes, these moods are widespread in the Diablo community. The most popular comment by the user Recovery_water notes that "D3 went through the same thing, the players demanded more density, in the end they gave it in the form of rifts, and this turned out to be very popular". The subsequent comment from Entreric agrees with this: "This game has not learned anything from d3. We go through the same cycle".
Anger is not limited to one topic. A theme appeared in another place called "Stop lowering the density of mobs in specific dungeons! Improve the density of mobs in other dungeons!" From the user under the nickname Devious1 scored about 2.5k likes and a long stream of comments. STOIAN40 theme "Can Blizzard stop the nerd any fun/good dungeon in the game?" Sicked 1.7k likes, and a topic called "Enough nervous, start bragging" from Janus408 scored 1.2k likes. The topic dedicated to the announcement of the hotfix also represents the raging sea of discontent.
The community of community is quite fair. It is unpleasant to feel that every patch of the game takes something from you, and does not add, and it seems that the understanding by the players of the game and its mechanics is punished. Maybe XP Fermes in the game and need some adjustment, but it would be nice if Blizzard provided some gingerbread in addition to the whip. Maybe in hotfix 10?
Disco Elysium was supposed to get Ubisoft or Microsoft, the creator of the game reveals new details
A number of new facts associated with the scandal around ZA/UM and Disco Elysium became known thanks to the video materials of PEOPLE MAKE GAMES. During the interview of Chris Brother with Robert Kurvits, important, but unconfirmed messages appeared in the context of dismissal of the initiator of the entire project and the universe "Elysium".
Kurvitz allegedly revealed the main reason stated in writing (the document, unfortunately, was not shown) by which he was kicked out of the corporate structures of ZA/UM. He allegedly tried to steal and sell intellectual property in the form of Disco Elysium to serious third parties. Immediately after indicating this reason, the developer denied that such an act took place on his part.
Kurvitz answered ZA/UM accusations with a simple question: "What companies I had to offer the IP in question?". During the discussion, names such as Ubisoft and Microsoft were mentioned between the parties – that is, really serious market players. It was even indicated that with one of the leading developers Obsidian (a studio that has been part of the Xbox family for some time), Josh Soyre, contact was made. Chris Bratt contacted the developer in question – Soyer clearly replied that there were no negotiations.
However, after several months of research, Bratt learned that there were rumors on the sidelines that Kurwitz allegedly contacts the sale of IP with Larian Studios, the creators of Divinity: Original Sin and the coming Baldur’s Gate 3. The journalist wrote to the Belgian developer, but in a response letter he learned that he was refraining from comments on this issue.
ZA/UM claims one thing, Kurvitz claims another – the entire judicial struggle rotates around this conflict of visions, opinions and interests. Therefore, at the moment it is difficult to judge this case. However, one significant incident should be cited, which was mentioned in the documentary by Peter Sunen, the leading technologist ZA/UM. Kurvitz allegedly made him an unusual and risky proposal from a legal and professional point of view. He asked him, at least, according to Sunenen, to make the source code accessible for unscrewed use. The programmer did not fulfill this request – as he himself put it, this could affect his future in the studio.
Thanks to PEOPLE MAKE Games, we definitely know more, but this is still not enough to unequivocally answer the question of who tells the truth in the dispute about Disco Elysium. The above information, although contradictory, nevertheless shows that the scale of the entire conflict goes far beyond the scope of a small independent studio or even the Estonian financial market, turning into a global scandal for the video game industry. If only to assume that Ubisoft and Microsoft were also drawn into this whole thing – even for a moment.
City Car Driving 2.0 – Developer Diaries #5
In the fifth diary we will tell you how we create game mechanics. In the first diary you have already seen part of them.
Most of the mechanic is written using a visual programming system Blueprint engine Unreal Engine.
How the automobile gas station works
The player arrives at the gas station, drives up to the hearing column, depending on the type of fuel and side of the fuel tank hatch, the event is triggered Overlap.
- Event OncomponentBeginoverlap It is called when the player hit the trigger of the gas station, further logic is launched.
- Macro Cartagsrefuel receives data from the car, what is the type of fuel, and on which side it has a fuel tank hatch.
- Macro Datarefuelcolumn receives data from macros Cartagsrefuel, and compares them with the specified parameters of the gas station.
- Function SENDINGDAGASSTATION forms and sends all data to the logic of refueling.
- After the formation of the data, the refueling script is initialized.
The initialization of the script has been completed and the script signed up for the event Refuelstatus Through the node BindEvent to refuelstatus.
Now that this event will cause any other place, the event in our script will work. It is called Event Dispatcher.
- As soon as the event to which the script is signed worked, post-event is called Refuel And the check chain is launched.
- First, checking the state of the variable Refuelbuttonhovered (Pressed button or not) through the node Branch. This Node checks, whether the verified value satisfies with any specified conditions, in this case, a check for whether the value of the variable is the value Refuelbuttonhovered Truth or lies. If the button is pressed, the check is successful, t.To. the variable returns the value of True (truth), and the chain continues.
Checking through macro Checkstatuscar, inside which the following is checked:
- The first two nodes Branch Check if the engine is drowned out and whether the parking brake is installed. If the check passes, Macro misses the course of the script further.
- If the conditions are not fulfilled, then Macro simply waits for the performance of actions through Delay (Node of a temporary delay).
Next is checking and performing actions through macro Tankfilling, inside which the following is checked:
- A variable confirmation of the refueling is initialized and is set to the value False (LIE). At this stage, our script is already ready for the end of the gas station.
- After, the current fuel level is recorded in the variable Backupfuellevel and stored there until the end of the gas station.
- In the variable Fuellevelconverted Previously, the level of completeness of the tank was formed in the decimal structure, t.e. The level of the tank is measured not in liters, but in shares from 0 to 1. After that through the Noda Branch It is checked whether the tank is filled to 1 whole.
- Next is the script through the node Branch again checks whether the refueling button is still pressed.
After previous checks, a number of executive blocks are launched, in which clean mathematical operations occur with an interval of calculations equal to 0.1 seconds.
- Block AddlitreinProgressbar Anims the level of filling of the tank inside the button "Refueling". The current value of the tank is summed up with fuel supply force.
- Block Displayfuellitre sends to the user interface the number of refueling.
- Block Addfuelincar adds fuel to the car of the car. Every 0.1 seconds are sent to the value of the tank level by 0.1 liter of fuel.
- Block Filledfuel calculates how much the player flooded the fuel into the tank. The value of the previously given variable is taken from the current fullness of the tank Backupfuellevel.
- Block Sumlitre forms and distributes data on refueling, sends data to the logic of refueling and to the logic of the car.
As soon as the player releases the refueling button, he has the opportunity to complete the refueling process and confirm the amount of refueling. When the completion button is pressed, the logic of confirmation is performed.
- In the previously specified variable Backupfuellevel a new value of the tank level is recorded.
- The user interface is closed.
- A user message about a successful refueling is issued.
How the maintenance station works
Когда игрок заезжает в зону СТО, инициализируется скрипт логики СТО.
- Function SetClasswidgetrepairStation creates a link to a class interface class inside a hundred.
- Function Setclasswidgetrepairstationstatus creates a link to the class of car status.
- The script is subscribed to the event Repairnded To get the player’s exit event from a hundred.
The player drove into a repair box, the logic of collecting and forming data for use in further chains of logic is launched.
- Function Sizemodewidget triggers the mode of full access to the functions of one hundred. Then we display the mouse cursor on the screen, the variable is responsible for this Showmousecursor
Challenge of the event Adddetailist launches a logic chain that forms and sorts the parts of the car in the user interface
- Through the design Foreachloop There is a redemption of all values from the array Partslist. This is an array that contains a list of all car parts.
- Further, each part is divided into separate values, which in turn are sent along the paths they need to the corresponding variable.
- Function Createwidget creates an interface element into which the previously obtained values from the list of parts are transmitted.
- Inside the function SorterDetailist The resulting parts are sorted according to various functional blocks: "Body", "Chassis", "Electrician", "Engine".
- Function Sortressourcedetail sorts a list of parts by the degree of their wear.
- For further calculations for each specific part, the variable VehiclePart writes out data on the name of the part, the degree of wear and duration of the repair.
Challenge of the event Adddetailimage forms a block of visual display of the status of a car.
- Through the design Foreachloop Again there is an overkill of all values from the array Partslist.
- Further from the data on the part, we get its image through the design Break Structure_partdetail.
- Through the function Addchild a new place is added in the user interface unit, to which the image is sent.
- We get a variable Detailimagebrush From the created place in the interface unit, to which we send the previously obtained image.
- Function Setcolordetail sets the color of the sent image, depending on its wear.
Challenge of the event Activatemodeui activates the regime of interaction with one hundred.
- Function Setinputmodeuionly sets a condition under which the player can only interact with the user interface.
- Function StopmovementimMedialy stops the physical simulation of the player’s car.
- Function SetViewtargetwithblend Changes the observation camera for the player. The current camera turns off and switches to the Camera STO.
In the event Senddatarepair The function is caused SendingDatarepair, which sends data about the player, car and details to the user interface.
At the current stage, the player can fully interact with the service station, see the status of the car, check the integrity of the parts, fix each part separately, choose several details for repair or immediately in one click to fix all the worn parts.
- Event Buttonrepairpressed_event It works if the player has clamped the selection button of a particular part. In turn, this event causes the logic of the repair of one part. The selected part is checked inside the logic and is repaired, the value of wear is reset.
- Event PartSelded_event works if the player has put on a specific part once. The selected part will be recorded in a check sheet for subsequent repair.
- Event Buttonrepairedetails_event works if the player has put on the button "Repair the selected details". This event checks what details were chosen by the player when the event was triggered PartSelded_event and performs a function similar to the repair functions of one part.
- Event Repairfulldetails_event works if the player has put on the button "Fix all the details". The logic will check all the details and find those whose resource is below 90%. Further, all these parts are sent to the repair function.
After the repair is completed, the player can leave a hundred. In this case, the script will perform a number of final logic:
- Close the MOST mode. The player can no longer interact with the user interface.
- Clean temporary variables.
- Clean the lists of parts and details about the details.
How the car wash works
The system initialization system on the car wash is identical to other interactive objects. As soon as the player drives up to the sink and presses the interaction confirmation button – the gates open and the signal lamps light up and light up. At this stage, the washing awaits the car in the washing box.
We have implemented a system for tracing rays in a car wash instead of animations prepared for each car. This allows you to unify the logic of work, regardless of the type and shape of the car. In fact, with this implementation, logic works correctly with absolutely any object that enters the washing box. Invisible rays monitor the shape of the body and control the movement of all mechanisms.
- calculates the length of the beam, which will track the shape of the body, and also checks the radius of the brush so that the geometry of the brush does not intersect with the geometry of the car.MacrosestimationVectortrace
- "Shoots" a beam to track the point of its intersection with the geometry of the car body, after which it sends the coordinates in which the intersection occurred, then.Function bylineTracebyChannel
- receives the obtained coordinates of the intersection and moves the brush to this point.Function
Ray tracing is used in the logic of all movable mechanisms of the washing complex:
- Washing brushes
- Washing machine
- Washing in nozzles
Also, on the car wash there is an opportunity to skip the process of car washing, for this we added the opportunity to drink coffee.
- works when the player clicks on the button "To drink coffee".Event Clickedbuttoncoffee_event
- will fulfill logic once, without the ability to press the button repeatedly during the current session of the sink.Operatordoonce
- calculates the possibility of using sipping.Macroscalculatecoffee
- , the implementation of which triggers the process of missing the washing. The screen is darkened, the brushes return to the starting position, the washing box is turned off. Having received approval from the macros, the event phorcended is called
After the car washing is completed, the degree of body pollution is discarded, the gate is opened. The player can now continue the game by leaving the washing box.
How the garage works
The garage is the only place where, when entering the zone, the player must fulfill the full stop of transport, namely:
- put the car on a hand brake;
- turn off the headlights;
- drown out the engine;
- to unfasten.
This is realized as follows:
- receives a link to the car, and also checks its initial state. When entering the garage, the player has a widget with a list of necessary actions.Blueprint
- When the condition changes, it transfers through the interface what parameter it has changed and what.
- After that, a new state of the car is noted in the widget and it is checked whether the player fulfilled all the conditions.
- And if all conditions are fulfilled, the main logic of the garage is launched.
Here the player’s car is added to an array of garage machines (under the zero index), and the player himself gets the opportunity to use the functionality of the garage.
Bed – allows you to rewind time, causing a function in a separate class that controls the time at the level.
- Addtime – Function in the classroom LEVELTIME, the increase in time to the current state, which the player indicated in the widget.
In the next issue, we will not talk much and prepare for you a set of screenshots of the project for the entire development of it.
Development diaries come out every two weeks. Do not miss!
Arkane Blade is a “hybrid of a immersive single simulator and all that we love”
Yesterday, December 8, Arkane presented at The Game Awards 2023 the Marvel’s Blade game, which is called "Exciting action from a third person". And here is the director of the game and director of the Arkane Lyon studio Ding Bakaba published the next two tweets in which he wrote:
Thank you very much for watching our announcement! Let’s make a single -user hybrid of an immersive simulator with all that outrages that we love! Okay, and let’s make the game in the style of Blade, from the 3rd person, in our crazy version of Paris! And somehow this feverish sleep, damn it, is happening?! This is surreal.
"I have never been so excited by the project, and I do not cry, you cry.
Bakaba is struck by the fact that "Game based on Blade from a third person in our own crazy version of Paris" from Arkane will somehow take place. The excitement of the bakab is currently almost contagious.
Surely the fans of Dishonored and Deathloop will perceive for granted words that the game on Blade is "A hybrid of a single -user immersive simulator with everything that we love". Especially if you recall Redfall, we can say that this is music for the ears. However, the developers from Arkane Lyon after this announcement for some time fell silent. Bakaba jokes (I hope) that soon someone will put him and the art director of Arkane Lyon Sebastin Mitton in the box so that they are silent, and then added that the team "Really damn cool".
But if you are waiting for new details or revelations about the new game Arkane Lyon, alas, nothing comes of. It becomes clear from the tweet of bakaba that the studio is not going to cook anything for a long time, and the project itself is clearly at an early stage of development.
Marvel’s Blade is only the last of several upcoming Marvel Games, which we look forward to, including Marvel’s Wolverine in the development of Insomniac Games and the game of the Second World War with the participation of Captain America and Black Panther Amy Hennig.
The model of the face of the Emji in the games of Insomniac about Spider-Man was attacked by fans
Stefani Tyler Jones, Mary Jane Watson’s face in Insomniac about Spider-Man, posted on Instagram a message of a number of fans of a harassment, passing "All boundaries". According to Jones, one of them called her to work and left a few voice messages with a proposal to talk to him, which was why Jones began to feel unsafe.
As Jones explained, she is no longer "actively listening" actor or model and just wants to earn a living without fear for his life. Her participation in games about Spider-Man should by no means deprive her of this right.
On weekends, some subscribers crossed the borders, ”Jones wrote on her Instagram. One even got to the point that he called me to work and left several voice messages, wanting to talk to me and demanding to call back, which is unacceptable and is a persecution.
My skin care page is not for fans of Spider-Man or Mj. Having come to work this morning, I immediately felt unsafe and uncomfortable when I heard these voice messages. Please respect the fact that I am a person trying to earn a living, like you, and I ask you not to cross the boundaries of the permitted.
After the release of the game Marvel Spider-Man 2, the image of Mary Jane became the subject of numerous disputes, to one degree or another. Someone did not approve of her role in the game, claiming that she was too strong, and someone stated that he was not at all experiencing sympathy for her character. And the fact that these discussions crossed the border of the real world and, it seems, caused the threatening behavior, simply egregative.
According to Jones, she has the same right to private life as everyone else, and an obsession with the character to whom she gave her similarities is not an excuse for attacks for this right.
Unfortunately, this behavior is quite common in online fandoms, and Twitch actors and streamers often report it, working in the gaming industry, but when this happens, we need to talk about it – and this must be suppressed.
