MS Shuts Down Lionhead, Fable Legends Cancelled
[url]http://www.game-debate.com/news/?news=19566&game=Fable%20Legends&title=Fable%20Legends%20Cancelled%20As%20Microsoft%20Plans%20To%20Shut%20Down%20Lionhead%20Studios#discussForm[/url]
[quote]Fable Legends developer Lionhead Studios is to be closed down, Microsoft has announced. The Black & White studio, based in Guildford, UK, has ceased development on Fable Legends and will shutter in the near future.
“These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly, nor are they a reflection on these development teams – we are incredibly fortunate to have the talent, creativity and commitment of the people at these studios,” said Microsoft Studios Europe general manager Hanno Lemke.
“I speak for all of Xbox when I say that despite this news, we remain committed to the development communities in the UK and Europe, and Xbox will continue to support new IP and originality in the games we offer on our platforms, whether they’re AAA blockbusters like Quantum Break from Remedy, adventurous new IPs like Sea of Thieves from Rare, or unique new creations from independent developers like Moon Studios with Ori.”[/quote]

Edited by ExelArts: 3/9/2016 5:16:03 AMSeen it coming fable 3 sucked everyone hated fable the journey legends was doomed to fail we wanted "FABLE" either a new version of f3 or 4 who ever the idiot that made journey omfg quit this business now! And now legends really, we already have enough shit that asks for microtransactions -goddamn mobile games- and imo they deserved it for those last 2 and this legends one Seen this coming a mile away
-
fable was an iconic game cover
-
I really don't know anyone who cared about Legends. They should have made fable 4 or a new IP. I wish they would be given a shot before they close them down
-
Now there is no reason to own an Xbox.

1 ReplyFable sucks anyway especially that god damned sanctuary

4 RepliesEdited by Erkyo: 3/7/2016 6:50:36 PMI never got into that game wasn't my cup of tea. However a lot of my friends IRL and online loved the series and I'm sure this news will be crushing for them. EDIT: I missed my Bungie b-day. I'm 11yrs now!!!

6 RepliesShould have just made Fable 4.

1 ReplyPeter Molyneux is spinning in his grave.

1 ReplyI'm optimistic that another company will pickup Fable 4 and do it justice.
-
No more fable? *tears*
-
This was sad news. I was really looking forward to another Fable game.
-
Fable wasn't the best thing out there but in a sea of shooters we need all the rpg making companies we can get.
-
Even though their latest games have not really been favoured, this is still quite the loss, specially since they were around for a good while...
-
20 RepliesMeh, fable was mediocre at best anyways.
-
At a time when Microsoft needs compelling software (read: games) in order to sell more units of hardware (read: Xbox), the obvious move is to shut down one of their few first party developers. Genius. Really though, I can't say I'm surprised.
-
2 RepliesPlease tell me someone here has played Black & White?!
-
Fable legends was shit
-
Honestly only the first Fable was good, kinda messed up when Fable 2 came out
-
2 RepliesNo one cares. Fable was an overblown hyped up game / series that never once delivered on its promises. I'm just with a total lack of surprise over this
-
Can't say it's a shame work has stopped on that game, everything I saw of it looked terrible to me personally. I was hoping they would work on Fable 4 after that though so the studio shutting is a disappointment.
-
they need to shutdown the games for windows department again. they're the shittiest version of games you can get. they have no support for: overlays, fraps(recording software), turning off V-sync, over 1080P mode, modding, true fullscreen, basically all the things that make PC better. and they all are filled to the brim with DRM. and you're forced to get them through the windows store only, not available on GoG or Steam clients. and yes, this rant is relevant. it was supposed to be the showcase cross-platform windows xbox on PC game. instead that has gone to the Gears of War Ultimate PC release which was even worse than the last batman game for PC.

Say whaaaat! The closed beta was pretty fun !
