It was the console to beat all others. Nintendo announced its new system two years before its unveiling. It was named, „Revolution“ and had everybody buzzing. We now know it as the Wii– a less than threatening name that is more suited to Nintendo's goals. „Revolution“ served as a wonderful project title filled with mystery and excitement. However, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, it would not translate well under many other languages. Plus, a name like that would have probably caused an uproar from Americans stating the Japanese are out to get them again. That didn't happen…at least to my knowledge. Wii is friendlier and less menacing. Nintendo was right about the Wii's original namesake, it did cause quite the revolution in the video game industry because of its highly advanced motion sensor system.

That criteria is consonant with a Lionhead job listing which surfaced last year, brimming with suggestive language related to next-gen engine/graphical design. There are some curious distinctions, however, present in the animation director description that point directly toward work on the Fable franch

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, more commonly known as E3, Fablechronicle.Com is the greatest event on every video gamer's calendar. It all began back in the 1990s to little fanfare. Despite the lack of attention, there were some monumental announcements. It was at this E3 that Sony made its debut to the gaming industry. The Sega Saturn was available to test play as well as the Nintendo Virtual Boy. Nintendo also revealed its Ultra 64 console, stating it will be ready next year. A few notable game titles at the show included Ridge Racer, Panzer Dragoon and Virtua Fighter. E3 started slow, but because this was the first expo dedicated to video games, more companies and fans realized they weren't going to miss out next year.

Seeking to fill vacancies for an animation director and a core engine programmer , the listings became notable for their job descriptions and preferred-experience requirements. Both positions, they read, will be „key contributor[s] on an unannounced title,“ and both desire applicants with „knowledge of Unreal Engine 3 and/or

The nominations were decided by all 11 of the Game Rant staff in attendance for E3 and are based upon our previews, demos and hands-on experiences with all of the available titles at the event this y

Should the listings indeed apply to Fable 4 , Lionhead's „reimagining“ may well arrive in the form of a next-generation, free-to-play MMO. For one, The Journey , as mentioned, already took a significant departure from the Fable foundation with its implementation of Kinect-based gameplay and a more linear narrative. And when Lionhead hired former Cryptic Studios CEO John Needham to head up operations this April, parent company Microsoft was quick to extoll his „deep understanding“ of „subscription-based, massively multi-player, client-based console and free-to-play online [experience

“ The ideal candidate is someone who has leading industry experience on AAA titles, including large scale RPG, Action Adventure and RTS genres ,“ it advertises, demanding later that „ background working on new franchises or reimaginings of existing franchises “ is essential, along with the „ proven ability to bring new ideas to new franchise whilst ensuring its heritage is respecte

Peter Molyneux is the man, or as the title suggests, the God, has been in the business since 1982. He began his climb to the top of the mountain by selling floppy disks containing Atari and Commodore games. After he dabbled in the development of a business simulator and some database systems, Peter founded Bullfrog Productions. Their first title was Populous, an award-winning god game which sold more than 4 million copies. In 1997, he left Bullfrog to join Lionhead Studios where he found more success and immortalized himself as a designer. Black & White, a god game with strategy and fighting elements, won many awards and became the company's flagship title until few years later. Fable, an open world RPG, brought the company even greater success. It placed Lionhead at the top of the industry. Peter Molyneux has since left the studio to found another. Wherever Peter works will be innovative.

For many gamers, Fable 's 2004 debut marked a high-water point for the quirky, irreverent series. With its expansive scope, cosy tone and unashamedly puerile humor, the title earned its way to plenty of plaudits, and even more admiring follow

Molyneux explained that the problem many gamers have been encountering with Kinect is its lack of tactile feedback. When a player swings a sword or shoots a gun via a gesture, they inevitably expect to receive some sort of response. But since Kinect puts you into the role of the controller, there is no tactile response, and thus the action feels f

Leading up to E3, the Game Rant team put together a pair of lists of our most anticipated confirmed games E3 2011 and our most anticipated rumored games . Several of the rumored games did end up being showcased at the annual Los Angeles event, but were our hopes and anticipation justif
