Cinematic Specialist Blizzard Helping Out on Fable's Cutscenes

Blizzard always had some of the best quality cinematics for their games in the industry, so it's actually pretty exciting to see they're doing work on Fable.

Ok toungue-in-cheek comment here, but a lot people give Sony studios flack for being "too cinematic" just wondering if those people keep the same energy for Xbox studios when they focus on cut scenes too? Not starting any console wars because y'know cringe, just simply asking.

@Oram77 The big thing with Blizzard is their top-tier cinematics are reserved for their trailers or short videos. Their WoW trailers look better then big budget 3D movies and their old Overwatch trailers give so much depth to the characters.

I do remember some of the pre-rendered cutscenes for Starcraft and Warcraft 3 were pretty good too for the time.

@Deadlyblack I am fully aware how good their cutscenes are but you missing the point of my comment. By the way I love games that have jaw dropping cinematics, just get a little peeved when people call Sony games cut scene simulators.

@Oram77 I get where you're coming from, but honestly who cares if people call games that, those type of games just may not be their cup of tea.

@Deadlyblack The internet just loves being negative

@get2sammyb Never played a Fable game in my life but this one looks fantastic! The only thing that looked off was the combat but obvs need to see more of it I guess.

Kinda hyped for this. The humor is top notch

"The Blizzard cinematic team is helping [...]"
Have you guys seem how Blizzard's latest cinematic trailers were received? If anything this will cause more concern than people already have with Fable, lol.

How about just don't make the main character look like a mangled big toe, lol. Cinematics aren't going to matter if all your characters are ugly.

@Oram77 He's not missing the point, though. He's saying there's a difference between making a cinematic trailer or a great opening and ending cinematic, versus the entire game just being a conveyor belt of corridors, "puzzles", basic combat and imminent cutscenes - and that being excused as simply being "cinematic". It's also just the basic difference between "cinematic" as a noun ("a cinematic," meaning a cutscene) and an adjective ("Uncharted is a cinematic game") where the latter is almost like a genre of its own.

There’s still publicly saying autumn, so sticking with that until Microsoft and Playground say otherwise. But I guess that’s cool as far as the cutscenes go.

The guys at Blizzard will have a God damn field work they also help in changing some characters designs

Hope this still ends up on PS5 with the rumours Xbox are reconsidering their exclusive strategy.
