[00:02] with Fable. [music] I'm not at Gamescom, but I have the next best thing, official gameplay from the preview event. This is from a quest called Mud and Death. The player character is fighting alongside a man named Humphrey in an abandoned mine.
[00:16] In this slice, you'll get a look at crossbow and hammer combat, as well as some flashy spells as the two take down wraiths and skeletons. It all culminates with a creepy boss fight against a lantern keeper. As you can see in the
[00:28] bottom of the frame, this was captured on PC at medium graphic settings. I'd say it looks pretty good, especially some of the spell effects and the fog effects at the end. >> It's the wraiths you want to watch for.
[00:42] >> Yeah. Ghosts gone sour, like spoiled milk. Nasty things. Deal with them quick, if you can.
[01:02] hollows. you? >> [groaning and screaming]
[02:10] >> Whoever you thought it were, they're not. >> There'll be more inside. >> Yeah, obviously. So, you best be warmed
[02:24] up. So, you're out of luck, mate. So, you're out of luck, mate. All right, you asked for it. You'll have a BIT OF MARROW.
[02:46] YOU'LL BE ENJOYING A NICE ETERNAL REST for now.
[02:59] >> Were these miners? >> Most of them, yeah. when the seawall fell. Poor bastards. I rushed out there, but I was I was I
[03:12] was too late. >> That doesn't look like a miner.
[03:57] >> DON'T LET HER EAT THIS CRAP OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, SERIOUSLY.
[04:25] THAT'S GOING TO PUT ME OUT of commission next week.
[04:42] >> Well, this looks very safe. After you, then. Yeah, caves were definitely bigger back in my day.
[04:54] >> War. Albion's always had people fighting over something. Bloodstone and Boundstone have spent half of history going at it. Yeah, there's no shortage of soldier bones in this dirt.
[05:14] >> Hm, just another lovely day in Wraithmarsh. Can't see your hand [music] in front of your arse.
[05:33] More wraiths. Well, they don't call it Wraithmarsh for nothing.
[06:22] >> It's a mutant keeper. It goes straight back out. Keep your eyes on it.
[06:37] point, AT LEAST. >> [groaning]
[08:25] >> GOING IN. >> GET THEM ON THE WALL. series is near and dear to my heart, and this looks to be a detailed modern
[08:37] interpretation of the beloved series. I just hope it retains the humor and charm of the original, and this demo doesn't necessarily show that. However, Xbox did release an 18-minute video earlier today showcasing that side of Fable. Check it
[08:51] out if you haven't already, and if you want to read our hands-on impressions of the demo, be sure to check out gamespot.com later in the week.
