Kinect horse riding may not be so exciting, but Kinect fighting a dragon? Sounds promising

When last we heard about Lionhead Studios' upcoming Kinect title, Fable: The Journey, it was to deliver the news that the game would feature no melee combat. That was back in August. Now, over half a year later, a handful of screenshots for the title have emerged showing us the game's more magical nature.

Not much else is known about Fable: The Journey at this point, but it should be released some time in 2012.

meh.... Kinda looks like a cartoony skyrim, I love fable, but am not confident in the kinect to be a strong addition to any game.....yet.
Spartas Revenge - Just finished the Dead Space 3 demo. I have to wonder if game developers are ruining games on purpose now.

Since you are on a horse/in a carriage most of the time (not sure which one really), I hope it lets me sit in a chair to play it

This might just shape up to be a really great Kinect game. And while it is true this isn't a "real" Fable also means in my opinion that it won't hurt the original trilogy.

We still haven't had our "killer-app" Kinect title in my opinion so I'm looking forward to this not taking note what the nay sayers have to say

No wonder that two of the Fable creators left and opened a new game studio, I guess they didn't care at all about this boring rail shooter project.

The issue with the Kinect is that motion control is a far less complicated input mechanism than a gamepad. To use the Kinect, you need to boil down a game to very basic components and map those to a half a dozen mad flails. It's this reason, coupled with the Kinect's existence as a motion gimmick, that will prevent any quality titles from ever being released for it.

If you want to shift the paradigm, this will probably be a good Kinect game, but will still fail to compare to any halfway decent game that uses a good old gamepad controller.

Fable played only on Kinect will most likely be crap

A Fable game that I might actually skip? Ugh...the only thing I seem to use Kinect for nowadays is to yell at it and tell Netflix to pause and play while I'm exiting/entering a room. Otherwise, it's gathering dust ._.

It doesn't matter how good it is, the nay sayers won't try it and still be taking their opportunities to say how bad kinect is. Gunstringer was really awesome and was even thrown in with some Kinects, but you have to get Kinect in the first place to appreciate it.

Can't say I will ever believe a single thing Peter Molyneux says. After admitting he completely "made up" features he never planned on putting in games just to keep his upcoming games in the press, can't say I listen to ANYTHING he says. I'll just wait for the reviews of what actually got put in his games.

I got a kinect recently and I mostly ignore it. This game looks better than the other games I have for the kinect. I'll grab it the first time it goes on sale.

Looks alright, I guess. I wish it wasn't so different from the other Fables, but I'll end up getting this anyway.
