I'm speaking now, Peter and Lionhead in general, in your direction: DROP THE KINECT. The Kinect is horrible, any respectable gamer knows that. Fable: The Journey may or may not have potential, who knows? We can't just go by what we've seen. But if you've been reading the forums, you'd see that Journey has gotten a poor reception. Why? Partially because it looked like it was "on rails", but mostly because it's a Kinect exclusive. And, as mentioned before, the Kinect is tragically awful. It has nothing to do with laziness, for most of us: the problem here is that your entire living room would need to be rearranged, with a space of about three and a half meters around to wave your arms like an idiot at hobbes, hollow men, and (there would be sooo much raging due to constant deaths) balverines, not to mention the price of the wanna-be Wii. Let's keep Fable, Fable. Let's keep the theme of a young man/woman discovering their Heroic roots, of Theresa the omnipotent Seeress guiding you to your goal. Not like in Journey, where, as I've read, Theresa has lost her powers. And not where you're playing a Dweller. And "making a Hero" doesn't seem very promising. Let's try something else: perhaps bring together every Hero in the world, Heroes of Strength (Saker), Skill (Reaver), Will (maybe Garth), and whatever classification the Heroes of Bowerstone and Brightwall were. Perhaps look into the Void, home of Jack/Queen/Knight of Blades a little further? The choice is yours, but remember this: it's better to accomplish actions with simple finger motions than swinging your arms like windmills. And if not, then at least bring back Sabine. Or use Till Lindemann as a voice actor for white balverines.
I pray you read this and consider, before the game is released and Fable dies.
