World Exclusive OXM Report

Just picked up OXM today - most of the major point in the article have been already postd by hobbes_pwn, but there are a couple of other details and screenies which haven't been posted first.

Firstly, the article mentions the interactive Guild Chambers in the game, and how PM stresses that the BUtler won't just be a tutorial-style character, but will be fully fleshed out with his own personality.
It also mentions how the 3d world map will be 'teeming with life, even at the higest level'. Something that does annoy a bit, however, is that the article says, 'Fable 3 is more of a life simulator than ever'. Meh.

It goes on to say that the combat system has been overhauled again, and some attacks were more reminiscent of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta than traditional RPG hack and slashers. It says that you'll be able to unlock new and brutal finishing moves that play out in slow motion - think some of the finishers from Fable 2 but more awesome.

The next section is about the co-op, where PM confirms that orbs will be returning in the game, and will now be visible on the world map as well.
Each character will be able to fully roam Albion and Aurora seperately to the other, similar to the Crackdown co-op, where players won't be confined to each others areas.
With your buddy over Xbox live, you can make business transactions, ie pooling in together for a massive castle or something, you can seduce your friends spouse (lol), and gain extra followers from more elaborate co-op combat.

The next part of the article describes Aurora, so SPOILER ALERT if you don't want to know what Aurora looks like.




The article says:

OXM said:
The studio gave us a sneak peek at the other continent you will visit in Fable 3. It's called Aurora and the landscape is very different to that of Albion. Rather than the combo of medieval fantasy, Victorian history and British countryside, Aurora is a much dustier place, with canyons, deserts, and jagged rocks. The architecture and clothing apparently take their influences from places like Morocco and the Middle East.

Scanned pages:

Those are all the pages, sorry about the bad quality and cutting off 9slightly0 the page edges, not really much to miss, only a few new screenies.
 
Re: World Exclusive OXM Report

Awesome Aurora sounds cool. The co-op has to better than last time (not to easy to be worse though) Yes and we cant forget this now can we; +rep
 
Re: World Exclusive OXM Report

Cheers, all the pages are up now. If anyone else would care to put them in better quality that would be much appreciated.
 
Re: World Exclusive OXM Report

Awesome sweeto...

Say, when he is zoomed in at a bird's eye view of Bowerstone, what exactly is he doing? What does that exactly mean?
 
Re: World Exclusive OXM Report

Ah, good question, I missed that bit out. He's basically just panning around the map - the bubble entitled 'Neighbourhood Watch' describes that you will often see dodgy-looking characters in the world that are actually plotting against you - PM said this was to highlight the feeling of paranoia that many leaders faced.

The bubble called 'Industrial Rage' is talking about about how at first Bowerstone will seem very grimy, and that Lionhead wants every aspect of Logan's tyrannical reign to be shown, to try and make the character more keen to rule it in an enlightened way.

The third bubble is called 'School's In', you can't quite make it out, but it describes how once you rise to power you can alter the world to how you see fit, ie turning factories and workhouses into schools.
 
Re: World Exclusive OXM Report

Amazing. That's really all I can say.
 
Re: World Exclusive OXM Report
