[NEWS] Fable III getting In-Game-Microtransaction-Shops/
Another article confirming Natal is optional, not compulsary
NATAL AND NOW THIS! MICROSOFT STOP MAKING US PAY MORE
Only cool thing is the guides
That Video Game Blog said:Speaking at BAFTA’s Annual Video Games Lecture in London this evening, Peter Molyneux revealed that a microtransaction system will feature in Fable III.
During the speech, in which the veteran British games designer outlined his vision of the future of videogames, Molyneux announced that the forthcoming game in the Fable series will feature a in-game shop in which additional content will be available.
In Fable III’s shop, Molyneux is proposing that items such as swords will be available for a nominal fee of around £1, while access to new areas of the game environment - a notional ‘island’ was discussed, bringing to mind Fable II’s DLC Knothole Island - could cost more. Ultimately, the Lionhead boss and Microsoft Creative Director is looking to the store to provide a more harmonious relationship between a title and its downloadable content.
Later in the evening Molyneux responded to a question regarding industry retail models by revealing that Lionhead are even considering selling GameFAQs style Fable III walkthroughs in the store, though it should be noted that this is just one of many ideas being bounced around. And if there’s one thing Molyneux isn’t short of, it’s ideas.
Another article confirming Natal is optional, not compulsary
That Video Game Blog said:Following a fair amount of speculation, Peter Molyneux has announced that Fable III will indeed utilize Project Natal technology.
Speaking at BAFTA’s Annual Video Games Lecture in London this evening, Molyneux revealed that he would be “crazy” not to take advantage of Natal’s motion sensing technology for the forthcoming Fable III. However, before you go getting all excited/angry about the prospect of diving around your living room Fable-style, don’t chuck your controller out the window yet. While Natal functionality will be used, Molyneux also said that “Fable III will be controller based, for sure.”
So what does all this mean? Well, with his PR manager giving him the evil eye from the audience (at one stage Molyneux joked that he would be assassinated onstage if he said too much), the Lionhead boss wasn’t willing to say make any revelations. However, it’s clear that while Fable III will control in a normal fashion, some commands will be optionally possible via Natal. We’re intrigued.
