As everyone had guessed the "big" new thing that lionhead unveiled was the fable heroes xbox live game.

However, they have also got rid of their forum, officially on their webiste "You may also notice that the Lionhead Forums have been closed down, this was not an easy decision to make as our forums were some of the most active out there. After 14 years, during which we’ve had highs and lows, and many iterations, the time has come to make a dramatic change. Firstly we really want to thank the hundreds of thousands of fans who’ve become a community member over the years. From the golden age during Black&White’s development, through to the launch of The Movies: Online, up to the present day with the reveal of Fable : The Journey and now Fable Heroes – you have all been with us and without question the entire Lionhead team loves for you for that. Change, however is the only constant in life and we feel that the Internet in 2012 is a very different place from when we started our forums in 1998. All the time we have to spend on our forums, is time our (small) online team are unable to bring you media, screenshots and other exciting exclusives. Therefore, we have implemented a brand new comment system on each page that allows you to continue your discussions, reply to each other, upload images and much more while at the same time making it easier for us to moderate. If you still wish to discuss all things Lionhead outside of this comment system, please use our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Fablegame or join in at http://forums.xbox.com/.

On top of this; our good friend and all-round Lionhead Forums legend Mortalitis Infinitas is working on a brand new fansite. He will bring us an update soon on where his project stands and what we can look forward to. Watch this space."
 
The very topic thread made me laugh. Though I do feel quite sad I was a LH member for at least four years, and the amount of Fan-Fiction I had on their forums was obscene and now I have no chance to get any of them back. :mad:

Guess I can no longer converse with any of the members either..... well until the LH chat-room is opened by Mort.
 
Glad to be of some amusement XD.

Have to say I'm surprised by it, everything has a forum these days, always an official forum and many spin of unofficial forums, so for the official forum to be closed was a surprise for me?
 
I guess they realized that there's only a few ways members could say "When will you go back to making decent games?".

This. ^

The amount of threads I've seen on this forum and Lionhead forums in the past is ludicrously unlimited. One thing that amuses me is the fact some of the most important features in LH games came from ideas by members, such as the horse in the journey, the devil and angel in black & white, being king, being mayor, dyeing clothes, creating weapons, hero titles, etc etc the list goes on.

LH games are essentially DIY video games with the addition of the highly excitable Overlord Peter Molyneux who seems to learn new tricks with the revealing of each new game, and yet falls back onto detrimental pouting which makes the player lose faith in future games, the result? A game so far removed from the RPG world that it has become a game for casual gamers who walk into a shop and buy games looking at the cover to judge if it is cool with not the single ingredient applicable for hardcore dungeon dwelling kin of the forums of the internet who read reviews or think before spending their hard earned/robbed or borrowed money.

However bullying aside, Fable Heroes looks interesting. LH Claims it to be alot like Gauntlet a game I was raised on I think it looks like an attempt at the XBL Arcade game Castle Crashers, if they fail in both 'Fable: Heroes' and 'Fable: The Journey' I believe they can kiss goodbye to gamers of good taste.

What do you say about that Peter?

"Heroes Are dolls in Fable: Heroes"

Actually yeah I would too XD

At least I'm not alone on it lol (ive got the fable 3 collectors edit. with the hard back walk through and both fable books release so far by Peter David.....sorta got an itch from fable 3 to collect as much as I can, I bet the board game would come with an XBLA code - I say we pitch this to Lion head lol )
