Let's Talk about the new Fable 3 Commercial

It makes me feel like stealing this game.

But this is America, why would I do such a thing?

Though at first I thought it would fool anyone who is not already a Fable fan to think it was a new Civilization game or something, watching it again and again and again it just keeps getting more awesome and epic! Hands down the most intriguing and cool trailer for any Xbox game yet--no, any game at all! Of course, not many game trailers are that good, I guess, but still.

The only thing in this trailer that pains me is the look on Logan's face when he sees his little brother firing a gun by his tore-down statue, because he actually looks hurt. Of course, he's a terrible tyrant, so if I just remind myself of that I can watch the trailer a few more times without grief. lol

On somewhat of a side-note, I don't think Logan is "it's fun to murder" evil, he just doesn't realize he's... well, messed up.

I actually do feel bad for Logan. He looks sad. I really hope that you have a choice to let him live. As a good kind of choice. People may hate you for it. Maybe he will just **** me off lol

I may be the only one, but I'd totally do the hero in that commercial.

I think he'd do you instead. He's a leader after all

I'd totally do Sabine.

Which one is Sabine?

 

[El Mosqueton]

The King of Mist Peak. He's voiced by Sir Ben Kingsley.

Heh. I should have known that but I kept thinking Sabine was a girl. I've missed you, Tyrant. I hope you've been well this week!

 

[El Mosqueton]

How dare you!
Paige IS smexy though

What is it with video games using purposely unfitting music in their commercials? Fallout 3,

Fallout 3's commercial music was fine The game IS based on a futuristic 1950's , So it's fitting.

I mean like the mood of it. The Fallout 3 commercial shows the terrible, gritty wasteland and the song is this. I understand how it fits because the world has been set on fire, but the mood of the song is not one of sadness or badassness or any mood felt in Fallout 3.

Again, I understand that this was done on purpose. I was just noting that it has become a more prevalent concept.

I liked the commercial. Made me want to bump some Public Enemy.

Surprised to see no chickens, though.

I think that was the point. The other trailer was to rope in all the fans who like Fable for its peculiar, weird humor. This one is to get the people who only play games FOR SERIOUSLY (though I can't say it's fair to them, they won't be getting huge battles like those shown here (from what I've seen in the game)).

I see what you mean. It's kinda odd, but then again, I really thought the... hmm... what's the right word for it... the "contradiction" between the music and the mood was hella fresh. It seems to be a prevalent concept now, but when it came out at the time, it was pretty unique.

Also, it helps that I like big band music.

Next thing I am waiting for is a game with a P-Funk soundtrack. Music I can finally relate to!

Ah, just noticed you responded to me. Seems like a smart marketing campaign. Cater to everyone. Can't argue with that. I just thought they'd ride with the goofy, funny ish.

The song has no real intention of setting the mood, I myself found it a very witty and clever song to put in a commercial of a post-apocalyptic world set it the 1950's. Take for example if you were someone watching the trailer for the first time. It begins with a ham radio , leaving the viewer clueless of what it's about as the camera pans away from the ham radio you see the wasteland and how deserted it is, No life what so ever , but as the camera pans away you can still here the echoing of the music again showing the lifelessness of the wasteland, But it doesn't really matter everyone's entitled to their own opinion , no ones right or wrong here.

Any who back to fable, I agree with some of you that the song doesn't really fit the game, I would thing a song like that would be more fitting in western games such as Red Dead Redemption. Maybe they should have chosen a more medieval-ish music, but the whole point of the trailer is to show a revolution and less modern music has trouble with that.

 

[Lynne]

I think putting a modern song to a revolutionary montage is pretty rad, actually.

the only reason anyone has ever done anything ever. srs.

 

[Prince Louis]

i loved it! Totally epic. That song is amazing and goes great with those clips. Is it me or does our Hero look more BA in this trailer? He looks older... or more scruffy?

 

[Matt_352]

Awesomeness covered Awesomeness, so pumped about this game
