[NEWS] Fable III's Influences include Uncharted, Peggle & We Rule

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=259690​

Fable III has taken inspiration from PS3 exclusive, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Lionhead's revealed.

Since the Lionhead three-quel is supposed to move the series more towards action, taking inspiration from Naughty Dog's stunner is probably wise.

But Fable's the kind of game that takes bits and pieces from all over the place, according to senior design director, Josh Atkins:​

"This is an amazing industry and we take inspiration from all sorts of games," he told CVG.​

"Demon's Souls and Mass Effect 2 were both great titles and we definitely think about the decisions they made and why we think they made them."​

Beyond RPG's Atkin's said the studio also takes inspiration from games like Peggle and iPhone game We Rule. Quite the melting pot then.​

"Drake's was a brilliant game that was an amazing combination of cinema and gameplay," Atkin's continued.​

"Peggle is still one of the most satisfying and fun games to play while We Rule has a lot of good ideas on how two players can share experiences between two different 'kingdoms.'"​

Also if anyone has forgotten, Peter also stated Rockstar also influenced him.​

I often don't take these "influences" serious, as I found the Fable II story a bit of a let down, and Peter claiming that Half Life 2 had been one of the influences for the story didn't help either.

I hope it has a similar dialogue system to Mass Effect because its better than any other system i know of. Oblivion and Fallout 3's way of dialogue is boring and breaks you out of the gameworld. And Fable 2's was just the ability to go around acting like the Fonz.

I completely agree. Bioware has developed a revolutionary way of navigating through dialogue. A way with which allows us to make a moral decision with each conversation. There is at least a neutral, paragon and renegade option for each conversation, and with each conversation you can actually change something in-game. Where as in Oblivion, though I love it to no end, the dialogue honestly doesn't have too much effect on gameplay aside from a means to gather information.
