A character that is more prone for betrayal as well could give an incentive for the player to kill them, even with every system that currently marks that as the absolute last option that should be taken. So now the player chooses, kill a traitor for the greater good, because they’re too much of a risk to be left alone, or try to reach out to them again with the possibility that they could cause more damage. This is exactly the kind of tough choice that Kojima Productions is known for forcing into its narratives, but could have an even stronger effect by making the decision completely up to the pla

Fable is a classic gaming franchise that’s deeply beloved by its fans. It’s due for a new installment soon, over a decade after the last mainline game, Fable 3, released in 2010 . There was a small Kinect game released a few years later in 2012, but it didn’t amaze fans like its predecessors. Hopefully, the next one will be impressive enough to meet the hype ( the company is hiring new writers as of this writi

During Fable II, the player can find a house in Bowerstone Old Town called «The Invisible Hand.» They learn that it’s the base of operations for a group of thieves. However, economically-minded fans might have caught on to the fact that the «invisible hand» is a term used to describe how an economy self-regulates its

Once players defeat the Wasp King in Bug Fables and participate in the concluding celebration, they have beaten the game. However, the game’s not over after the credits roll. This charming title has a post-game that offers players a chance to see how the world of Bugaria has changed following the discovery of the Everlasting Sapling and the subsequent fall of the Wasp Ki

Specifically, this would be the recruitment system that drives much of MGS5 and allows Venom Snake to build up the Diamond Dogs and empower his research and development systems. So, given that unlocking and fabricating gear is an important part of planning deliveries in Death Stranding , the same mechanic could be better refined in a world that has fewer resources and people to pull f

What better way to wind down after a long journey than by playing some games within a game? At some point during Chapter 6, the Termacade will open shop in the conspicuously vacant building in the Ant Kingdom. Unfortunately, the selection isn’t all that great. The Termacade offers a whopping two games to p

At the beginning of the game, the player will need to enter the castle’s kitchen to speak to the workers there. Keen-eyed fans will catch a black, smoldering chicken wobbling out the door, and the same cook from the cinematic is inside, talking to the staff. The chicken was safe after all! Maybe industrialization isn’t as bad in Albion as they’re making it out to be

Given its PlayStation exclusivity, few, if any, will have expected to see the new God of War game making an appearance at E3 2021. In that sense, expectations were well and truly met. All the same though, the absence of God of War and other big first-party titles from Sony perhaps highlights the impact that the company’s decision not to attend E3 is having on the ev

If becoming the most evil super-villain in all of Albion sounds appealing, then the Maelstrom is the weapon to get. Upon sacrificing enough citizens, and eventually the heroes spouse, within the Temple of Light, the power of the Maelstrom will be granted to the pla

The depth of Fable goes far beyond the reaches of exploration, quests, and combat. Your character can purchase a house in one of four locations across Albion. On doing so, you’ll be able to store much of your inventory and even raise a family th

Allowing players to recruit enemies could open up for something that MGS5 delved slightly into, but never really got the most out of, outside of a few required missions. An additional risk and reward to consider with taking ex-terrorists like Demens especially, could be the opportunity for these enemies to betray the player. This can either cause an upset that the player then has to head out to and address, or create an entirely new narrative within Death Stranding , where Sam is tasked with finding this person and bringing them b

Given the systems present in Death Stranding , as well as the overarching narrative of connecting the world and connecting with others, any character interactions should be given the chance to have positive effects. Even the incentive not to kill the Mules and Demens that try to kill or stop the player could be maximized on with the ability to recruit them, though there may be a give and take with some of them. Then, aside from the new ways that this could allow for NPC interactions, recruitment could completely remake the development of new gear in Death Stranding

State of Decay 3 was announced at the Xbox Showcase in 2020 , but, much like the new Fable COVID-19 game development, updates on the title have been sparse since then. Many had hoped to get one at this year’s E3 and maybe even a new trailer, but there was no mention of Undead Labs’ upcoming title anywhere in the Microsoft and Bethesda event. Whether the developers will have something ready for Gamescom or Microsoft’s next big showcase event remains to be s
