New Fable III Demo You Haven't Seen Yet

We braved the dark depths of Microsoft's E3 showcase to bring you this lengthy combat demo of Fable III.

You can never have too much coverage for one of the most hotly anticipated games of E3, and Fable III certainly falls into that category. In the demo below, you'll get to see a whole new look at combat, as well as a taste of the increased focus on cinematic storytelling. Listen as a Lionhead developer talks us through the many different facets of the game and stay tuned to the end for a revealing look at the new continent, Arora.

Watch as our heroes stage a dramatic escape from a shadowy underground cavern.

Why was the video so dark? I hope the game isn't that way. Looks good. I'll end up with this in my collection.

Ah' well... Fable is always a good "experience" anyway (regardless of AWFUL DLC). And I'm sure it'll be another great Christmassy feeling game again this year. I'll probably grab it. I have fond memories of Bowerstone

This looks good so far. The only thing I am concerned about is how responsive the controls feel. I think Fable II had so much processing going on there was a consistent input lag. You could really feel it when doing those button timing jobs and in combat. Nothing puts a game off for me like clumsy controls. Maybe the PC version will have more graphics options to fool around with to prevent this, assuming it becomes a problem in the 360 version.

Good video nice to see combat, he said the cinematic combat blows are new. However I'm sure they were in the last game. I'm going to have to play before I decide, seems like Fable 2.5 rather than Fable 3

Looking good, I loved the 2nd game, I understand why people had problems, but it really was a beautiful and fun game. I hope that this game does really well, and like half the game is almost 2x the length of 2. I do hope: that the housing system will feel satisfying, the world will be just as charming, hopefully much bigger, I do not have any worries for the combat system because I enjoyed it.

Lateraliss the mixing of spells is different. Basically you can lvl each spells by equiping some gauntlets or something, and by equiping two gauntlets, you create a new spell. Tha tsaid, I don't like the one button fighting. It's no fun too easy and hack and slash. I liked the fighting in the first one better.

Combine spells, they said you would be able to do that in Fable 2. I think we all know how that turned out. More talk, and in the end it will be the same disappointments from the second game.

I've enjoy the first two a lot, but feel like they came up a little short of being a great game.

The guys over att Lionhead always talk big, but I´m always disappointed when I finaly play the game... Both Fable and Fable2 are to linear, and I think thats whats to expect from Fable3 aswell!

Hopefully this time, one of our followers won't unceremoniously kill the main bad guy when you're trying to take your shot, haha.

I didn't see anything... it was too damn dark! Although what I did see was awesomeness. Battle system seems to have a nice overhaul.
