2004 bringt Lionhead Studios mit Fable ein Action-Rollenspiel heraus, das den Spielern verspricht, ihre Entscheidungen und Taten sichtbar in einer offenen Fantasy-Welt widergespiegelt zu sehen. Als Held von Albion beginnt man als einfacher Junge, der ein Held werden wird, aber was für einer, das liegt bei der Spielerin: strahlender Retter oder gefürchteter Schurke. In dieser Folge werfen Gunnar und Fabian einen Blick auf die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Spiels, analysieren die Mechaniken und diskutieren, wie gut Fable die hohen Erwartungen erfüllt, die vorab geweckt werden. Ein Rückblick auf ein Spiel, das mit seiner Mischung aus Humor, Stil und Entscheidungsfreiheit die Grundlage für eine beliebte Reihe legt. Im Podcast kommt mit Cathy Campos die frühere Pressesprecherin von Lionhead zu Wort.

The world in Fable II is fully dynamic, interactive and mostly free roaming with no set quest path to take. Since the game takes place over a hero's lifetime, many things can change; Molyneux gave an example of a trade camp that the player could either help or destroy. Trading in such camps would increase their profit, resulting in a small town growing around them.

My guest today is an English video game designer and programmer. In 1984 he designed The Entrepreneur, a simulation game about running a start-up company. When it sold just two copies, however, my guest left the world of video games and began exporting cans of baked beans to the Middle East. When the computer manufacturer Commodore mistook this venture for a software company with a similar name, my guest signed a deal to design a database system for the Amiga. This benign deception eventually led to the founding of Bullfrog Productions, where my guest designed Populous, the first so-called god game, which went on to sell more than four million copies. Many more successes followed: 1994's Theme Park, 1997's Dungeon Keeper then, after he founded Lionhead Studios, the multi-million selling Fable series. My guest is no stranger to controversy either; his more recent, experimental work at 22Cans, the company he founded in 2012, has sometimes been accused of overpromising and underdelivering. He remains, nonetheless, a legendary – if elusive – figure in the UK games industry.  Thank you for listening to My Perfect Console.

This week we played the listener requested Fable 2 by; Lionhead Studios.  Fable 2 is a third person action RPG where you take control of a nameless hero who is trying to prevent the destruction of Albion. Play the way you want with melee, range and magic. Decide if you want to walk the path of good or evil....or play like Andrew which apparently is just morally grey. Explore the land of Albion to become more powerful, or be like Andrew and waste a gross amount of time chopping wood.

We look back at 2004's Fable and talk about the career of its hype man, Peter Molyneux. We'll discuss Molyneux's early career, both in video game development and elsewhere. Our history lesson looks at the founding of Bullfrog Productions up until Molyneux leaves to found Lionhead Studios.  Afterwards, we look at the development diary of Fable to compare it to the finished product. Finally, we talk about Fable and Molyneux's legacy as they stand today. Join us for an overhyped trip down Memory Card Lane.

Okay, I'm just going to say it: this week we mercilessly bully Matthew. It's true. Jim, Vanessa and Johnny focus on Matthew's pronunciation instead of on Lionhead Studio's classic action RPG Fable II. Also he isn't riding the wave of next-gen consoles.

In this month's episode of the Playcast, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81) address these strange times as they travel to the fantastical world of Albion, the setting of Lionhead Studio's Fable II. The guys discuss the ins-and-outs of the game's story, battle mechanics, gameplay, graphics, sounds, and the game's one-of-a-kind morality system. Speaking of morality....the fellas get a bit cheeky as they discuss the current state of our world and government. It goes without saying, but we will, that the opinions herein are those of the hosts and in no way reflect the views of RF Generation. So welcome to this special episode of the Playcast; we hope you enjoy the listen as you practice your social distancing. Stay home if you can and do your best to keep your families and communities safe.As always, we are happy to hear your thoughts on the games we play on our discussion page (linked below). We will respond to your comments and are always happy to discuss these games more. Please be sure to rate and write a review of the show on iTunes and/or Podbean to help us increase our listenership.

I always wanted the second episode of ST2 to cover a classic, and I think I got that in spades when I spoke to Russell Shaw about the Fable series. Its first release is a real RPG benchmark, and though the games slowly slipped into a less enthusiastic reception, Russell Shaw's music was always highly regarded as some of the best in the industry.After an interesting collaboration with Danny Elfman, Russell really made Fable his own. Despite being new to orchestration, he stepped up to the lofty task more than admirably, making huge improvements in his approach with every successive game. Even considering his growth as an orchestral composer, the first Fable's music undoubtably holds up to this day, providing VGM with some of its most accomplished and satisfying themes.Russell and I talk about every release in the series, from Fable itself to the unreleased Fable: Legends, which had a whole soundtrack composed before its cancellation. This releases alongside a much shorter Black & White episode, and the two together serve as an extended special on Lionhead Studios. That Black & White edition premieres straight after this one, available here:https://audioboom.com/posts/7415440-st2-bonus-black-white-w-russell-shawLee Tyrrell on Twitter:https://twitter.com/GreenT128Russell Shaw on Twitter:https://twitter.com/_GoesLikeThis_Available through the following platforms:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcherand many more...Support, early access, unedited interviews, backdated LIVE shows and more:http://patreon.com/_secretcave

This BONUS episode of ST2 is actually the second part of a Lionhead Studios double bill, with the first focusing on Fable (available here).After Peter Molyneux left Bullfrog Productions in 1997, he soon started his new venture - Lionhead Studios. Though they were unfortunately ill-fated with money across their run, they were nonetheless responsible for a number of interesting and imaginative games. Their first, Black & White, was a innovative take on the God genre, featuring music from Bullfrog's own Russell Shaw.The soundtrack itself is as forward-thinking as it is mercilessly ambient. Though mostly resting on a variety of sparse backing tracks, it also makes clever use of many smaller elements, and aspects that change depending on your playstyle. Throughout this BONUS episode, Russell outlines some of the thought processes behind Black & White, which occupies an interesting space in both his career and VGM in general.Lee Tyrrell on Twitter:https://twitter.com/GreenT128Russell Shaw on Twitter:https://twitter.com/_GoesLikeThis_Available through the following platforms:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcherand many more...Support, early access, unedited interviews, backdated LIVE shows and more:http://patreon.com/_secretcave

Wow. I mean, we're still in shock that he agreed to this podcast. This is indeed the Mark Webley, he of Bullfrog, Lionhead Studios (which he co-founded) and Two Point Studios which he's having phenomenal success with another hospital themed game (Theme Hospital being the first of course). Black & White, the Fable games, the list goes on and on. Our Adrian quizzes him about everything and it's a fantastic listen especially as Mark doesn't seem to know how much we retro gamers appreciate his work... Fancy discussing this podcast?

In this episode we're talking to Mark Backler, founder of Fourth State and Sketchbook Games. Right now he's focused on Lost Words, a narrative-based game set inside a diary. Lost Words is available to add to your wishlist on Steam now here.Mark's background is in really big games development companies, such as Lionhead Studios and Electronic Arts, but just a few years back he jumped out of that world to start his own company. Mark offers a tonne of advice; from how to build your team, to getting the most value possible from industry events and the awards they often run.

In 2008, the now defunct Lionhead Studios released what many saw as the culmination of founder Peter Molyneux's vision. Molyneux had hyped the original Fable as a game that would change the very fabric of the industry, which left fans very underwhelmed when it released as a solid, but rather run-of-the-mill RPG. With Fable 2, things were destined to be different. Molyneux apologized for his salesmanship of Fable and swore that things would be different. Fable 2 managed to deliver on what Lionhead had seemed to promise with the original - it was actually a different kind of RPG. Also, there was a dog and it was very endearing.  It's time to ask: Is Fable 2 one of the best games period?
