No seriously, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the gameplay trailer for Fable: The Journey. And unless you haven’t ever been in an elementary school, that’s Oregon Trail… ah… those were some good times. Don’t think I ever made it to the finish… people kept on dieing. lol!
It seems interesting though… like, you’re driving a carriage through the Fable world with the Kinect thingy. A pretty unique approach, though I’m not sure I’d want to watch a horse butt and hold virtual reins for hours on end. We’ll see how it does though as more vids come out. Not a “rail shooter” as many thought from the preview. Seems to be a point they wanted to make after the initial reactions…

I like kinect controls, and it likely will be awesomesauce if they perfect it… Kinect zoom also will help. But Fable :The journey…seriously? you dont get to move by yourself? They may have ruined the series
I think it’s like a “tween game”… an in between the last and the next. kind of like Final Fantasy Tactics (which ended up being awesomeness).
From what I understand, you drive the carriage in an “open world”. they showed you just on a trail, but the creator guy said in an interview that it was more of an open world setting. so I guess the demo was kind of bad at conveying that. there’s also what looks to be health/mana? and abilities along the sides so who knows what the actual gameplay might be. bad marketing team! bad!
Since the game is categorised as abandonware, you can download it free and fully legally from the net :) Never played it, though I’ve read quite a bit about how to finish the game
yup! a quick google search gets you to some “virtual apple” site where you can play all those old abandon ware type games. haven’t downloaded their plugin though… too lazy to install… but it looks like a lot of fun!
Wow I remember that game. I never made it to the end either because computer lab time ended too soon. Farthest I ever got was sailing down the columbia (the river riding bit with the logs).
psh, never even got to that point, lol!!! XD
I beat it several times, my high score wasn’t beaten even after I moved after 8th grade, lost the updates on who came close
My family got one of the later editions with live actors and such. It was a pretty fun game, I made it to the end a few times, but usually as the sole survivor and way later that I was supposed to… I should see if I can find a copy of it and see how I’d do now lol.
