Last week at GDC, Lionhead Studios boss and Fable creator Peter Molyneux had a few things to say about the rather popular action-RPG, and even went so far as to describe the next DLC chapter to Fable II, as well as hint at the in-development Fable III.
Molyneux confirmed that the next batch of DLC, titled See the Future, will be available "this spring," which he went on to clarify would be a matter of weeks, rather than months.
See the Future will apparently be much more story-driven than the previously released Knothole Island, and will supposedly answer some questions that long-time Fable fans may have (assumedly tying up some loose ends between the original and Fable II). More importantly, however, Molyneux states that See the Future will give players a glimpse at what is next for the series, going so far as to hint that the DLC will be a shadow of things to come in Fable III.
No word on specific dates or prices for See the Future, but we expect to hear more sooner than later.
Fable II is already available for Xbox 360 worldwide.
During his keynote speech at GDC today, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced the next iteration of the popular Legend of Zelda series, tentatively subtitled Spirit Tracks.
The DS title will feature a similar graphical style to Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, though it has yet to be confirmed if it will take place in the same world. The game's selling point is apparently the ability to control a train, though it is still unclear how much interaction players will have with the train, and how much it has to do with the game's story.
The game is currently slated for release this year in North America (and presumably Japan), though no solid dates have been established at this time.
Personally, I thought Phantom Hourglass was incredibly mediocre, and I think trains are a symbol of boring-ness, so I can't say that I'm exactly jumping for joy over this announcement. But, hey, more Zelda is more Zelda, I guess.
UPDATE: Here is a nice live feed trailer showing the title in motion. Looks pretty much like Phantom Hourglass with a train instead of a boat.
....And that conductor's suit looks 100 levels of ridiculous.
During the Nintendo keynote address at GDC today, it was announced that Square Enix will again be bringing its powerhouse RPG series to the Nintendo Wii via the WiiWare and Virtual Console downloadable services.
For WiiWare, it was confirmed that Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will be hitting the service, as well as My Life as a Darklord: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, which is a sequel to My Life as a King.
It was also confirmed that the original Final Fantasy will be hitting the Virtual Console, with other titles in the series on their way.
I guess that's cool. Or something. ...Who am I kidding? I'm not downloading any of those. :|
