San Diego Comic-Con 2010 is almost upon us, and that means it's time for all the biggest news and announcements in comics, film, television, anime, and gaming -- which is gaining a larger presence each year. This year looks to continue the trend, with companies such as Microsoft , Capcom , MTV Games , Disney Interactive , and EA making appearances at the illustrious popular arts convent Opening up the month is the anticipated Fable Anniversary , a re-imagining of the hit RPG originally released on the Xbox nearly ten years ago. It arrives February 4th for the Xbox 360. On the 5th, internet "let's play" sensation Outlast will be available on the PS4. Later in the month, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII makes its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 11th. Rayman Legends jumps into the next-gen fray on the 18th, giving some much-needed platformer action to the PS4 and Xbox One. The Wii U gets its own taste of more platformer goodness on the 21st, when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze swings into action. Finally, the long-awaited Thief reboot finds its way to all major platforms after nearly a decade of abse Currently, spell attacks can take three different forms: jettisoning a spell forward in various intensities and in varying directions, creating a magical barrier that will protect the player from attacks, or crafting an item like a spear. Fable: The Journey is still very early in development, so Lionhead hasn't outlined just how deep the combat will be, but Molyneux promised both an experience system and a decent selection of spells to choose f Yet despite that success, there have still been no substantial announcements on what the studio has planned for Bill Willingham's comic series. If a cryptic tweet from Telltale's Twitter account is any indication, that may be about to cha 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 Beginning on Thursday, the event opens up with panels for Dead Rising 2 , Halo: Reach , Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 , Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood , and a panel detailing Capcom's plans for the rest of the year.

As the player and their loyal stead (who will ostensibly be replacing the dog in this entry) attempt to bring the blind fortune teller Theresa to the Spire, the player will guide their buggy via virtual re Over the years, especially after the success of the studio's first console title, Fable , back in 2004, Molyneux has become a fan-favorite figurehead for the gaming industry - similar to the "celebrity" of similar designers like Cliff Bleszinski, Hideo Kojima, or Gabe Newell. As a result, there's little doubt that fans of the Lionhead brand will see the departure as a potential death-blow to the studio - despite Molyneux's co-founder, Mark Webley, sticking around to run the stu " 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 As with all other conventions, Sunday is generally the day where everything descends into a sort of lull compared to the previous three days. As in previous years, Sunday is set aside for the show's more kid-friendly content, so it's no surprise that the big games we'll see are Marvel's Super Hero Squad Online and LEGO Universe . Sure, they may not be as big as, say, Halo: Reach or Gears Of War 3 , but you never know -- they could hold some pleasant surpri When Telltale Games announced that they would be bringing Fables , an adaptation of the Vertigo graphic novel series to gamers everywhere, it was hard to know what to expect. That was before The Walking Dead made the studio one of the most impressive in the realm of video game writing , not to mention undisputed masters of episodic relea Aside from clarifying the traversal mechanics for Fable: The Journey , Molyneux also went into a little more detail on the combat. Though the series has always been known for combining melee, ranged, and magic attacks into one seamless experience, The Journey will be completely magic-based for a very simple rea
