Microsoft E3 2011 Conference Preview And Confirmed Announcements

Whether you like him or not, Peter Molyneux is a man that’s in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction with the status quo of the industry, and that’s really what makes his career so incredibly fascinating.


While Sony's focus will be on those four titles, the company is also expected to highlight some other games, with Dreams from Media Molecule confirmed for the show. It's likely that Sony has some surprises up its sleeve as well, so PlayStation enthusiasts should be sure to tune

Fable 2 was set 500 years after the original story, and Fable 3 set only 50 years after the second game. The game's creator, Peter Molyneux told IGN that the time jumps between each games time periods were a "big mistake" and so I'm confident that Playground Games may honour that thinking and just send things back to simplicity. I'd like to see a game set somewhere in those 500 years but through a story that doesn't deteriorate the lore for Fable 2 an


Perhaps it could be as simple as just changing the type of fabric for your belt or the type of grain for your wooden bow, or maybe it could be more complex, such as Red Dead Redemption 2 in which you apply engravings, markings, leather straps, etc. Maybe even taking heed from Jedi: Fallen Order and applying different styles to specific weapon pa


On the hardware and software side of things, rumors have been suggesting that Microsoft might finally unveil Project Opara. According to early details, Adventurequestlog.com Opara would be Microsoft’s answer to something like Hulu Plus or iTunes, offering subscription-based television shows for Xbox Live, Windows PCs, and Windows Phones. Since this particular conference will be in direct competition with Steve Jobs’ keynote at WWDC , it would make sense that something a little Apple-esque might be shown


Accessibility in the video games industry boomed massively in 2020. We saw Ubisoft , Naughty Dog , and other studios both big and small making efforts to allow more players to play their games. Xbox has done a great job in creating accessible experiences for players , and also has a huge focus on the tagline "When everyone plays, we all win". With Playground Games being under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella, I'm hoping we'll see a wealth of accessibility features done w


It's been rumored that the next entry in the Splinter Cell series is titled Splinter Cell Retribution , but this name has not been confirmed by Ubisoft. Apart from an image of an email addressed to Ubisoft PR Specialist Jacint Erdei, there is nothing else to suggest this name is even r


Fable was one of my favourite standout games from the classic Xbox generation. Since its launch in 2004, the game offered players an RPG with choices that affected the protagonist in both popularity across the game's world and the character's physical appearance. The success from the original title led to Fable II and Fable III with each game offering different ways of playing while keeping the core "your choices matter" play at heart. Fable II had a dog while Fable III found itself pushing more moral choices to the player as they managed a city and its polit


Details on the game are just rumors at this point, but if Bungie is attached, we want to know about it. The company has already claimed that they won't be appearing at E3 , but major developers playing dumb in the lead-up to a major announcement is nothing new. Bungie has since teased a major July 7 announcement , and while it's possible they may be waiting until E3 has come and gone to make any formal announcement, we hope to at least get some idea of what Destiny will be at this year's ev


Thanks to the Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot box controversy and the disappointing Mass Effect: Andromeda , public opinion of Electronic Arts seems to be relatively poor, but EA has a chance to turn around its misfortunes at E3. The publisher has theopportunity to impress fans with games like Anthem and Battlefield V , and it will also be showing its upcoming slate of sports games, new mobile games, and new content for The Sims


As soon as the game turns on, Fable 3 is noticeably similar to Fable 2. The graphics won't blow anyone away. It’s not the kind of game that relies on eye-popping graphics to lure the gamer in. While there are better looking games on the market, it shouldn't lessen the enjoyment of playing Fable


Without many first party exclusives this year, Microsoft’s gamer interest has waned a little ever since Gears of War 3 (sure to make a press conference appearance) was pushed into Fall 2011. What would be great to see from Microsoft is a lot of first party exclusives to help equal the content gamers were seeing offered this year from S


The game begins by taking control of either the son or daughter of the hero from Fable 2 , the prince or princess of the fantasy kingdom of Albion. Choosing to be the prince means the character's father was the hero, while choosing the princess means it was the character's mother. The game takes place 50 years after the events of Fable 2. The industrial revolution has swept across the land, and things in Albion have changed drastically. The protagonist's brother is currently the king, but he's ruling more like a tyrant. From there, destiny requires leaving the safety of the castle (with a faithful dog of course), becoming a hero, garnering the support of the people, overthrowing the oppressive brother/king and becoming the ruler of Albion. How this is gone about is up to the player to dec
