E3 2019 has come to a close, and as usual, the event featured a staggering number of games on display, including some promising horror games. With no new Capcom announcement as was rumored, the horror genre was a bit underrepresented compared to previous years, but there were still quite a few impressive horror titles at the s

The city the player runs through is mostly white, matching with the dizzying heights the player runs through. Red ramps and pipes guide the player on what is interactive. The actual fighting in this game is rather dull, but it is so infrequent it never harms the experience of running through skyscrapers like a pro. Its sequel, Mirror's Edge Catalyst didn't improve in the areas the original struggled with, resulting in mixed critical reviews.

This all raises quite a few ways that the morality system for Fable could change , but the key factor will be making it less black and white. Villains portrayed simply as those that needlessly slaughter citizens isn't an engaging way to portray a character anymore, even if those actions are "villainous." Instead, it's important that Fable introduces some level of ambiguity for decisions to the next game, and shows players the weight of their acti

Despite the lacking features the developers promised, Fable managed to carve its own fanbase thanks to its unique sense of style and humor. Combat was engaging, letting players choose between a mage, fighter, or ranged playstyle. If this series got a second chance and had the ability to implement all of its promised features, it would be one of the most highly praised RPGs of this decade.

The internet began speculating about a Resident Evil 3 Remake after fairly credible leaks and teases found their way online, as they tend to do. Fans were expecting to see a trailer, or even possibly gameplay, at some point during one of the press conferences this year, particularly due to the success of the Resident Evil 2 Remake, but it appears that fans will have to wait a little while longer to battle Nemesis in

On the other end of that are games that dropped the morality system entirely, one example being Fallout 4. Ditching the Karma system wasn't a popular decision, but it did make players consider why they did what they did, rather than just making binary choices to fit the mold of a hero or villain. That's not an easy thing to accomplish, and unrooting players from a mechanic they've used for the better part of a decade is commendable, even if there's a notable shift in how well that change works. Morality in the game is by no means perfect, there were pointless decisions in Fallout 4 , and players were forced to play the hero in most situations, but it did make the smaller-scale decisions worthy of reflect

One potential Ubisoft E3 2018 surprise was the reveal of Assassin's Creed Odyssey , which leaked ahead of time and was then confirmed by the company. However, just because Assassin's Creed Odyssey leaked, that doesn't mean Ubisoft doesn't have any other surprises in store for fans. Rumors point to a brand new Splinter Cell Adventure Game collectibles being announced at E3 this year, which would mark the first Splinter Cell title in five years. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but fans should be sure to tune in to Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference to

Some may not even realize this, but it's possible to play through Fable 2 in local co-op. The second player takes on the role of a henchman, and they can transfer any gold or items they earn into their own saved game. Admittedly, Fable 2 's local co-op mode does feel a little tacked on, and it doesn't really enhance the main game much, but it's great for just messing around and wreaking havoc across Albion with a fri

Players work on a space ship that has gone dark. People are missing and something feels amiss. You quickly realize that terrifying monsters roam the empty halls of the Ishimura space ship. The player character is prey for this entire game. Enemies crawl out of vents in dim lighting while all you have are a few shots of your pistol and the character's spine to diagnose your health. It was brilliant for the time and still holds up, but it is an IP EA has sadly put on ice.

The gaming landscape has changed considerably in that time. With the new generation of consoles came new standards for design, and while Fable , for the most part, holds up in terms of gameplay, there are mechanics within it that may have trouble in the new wave of video games. Specifically, there are bound to be difficulties with Fable's handling of morality, and with how significant the mechanic is to the game, it may create other hurdles as w

What was possible for open-world RPGs in 2004 versus what can be achieved now is drastically different. There are some exceptions, Morrowind managed to bring a well-realized open world to the Xbox, but Fable, visually, was a far superior game, obviously leading to restrictions in other areas. The core elements of RPGs have remained the same, but morality systems are an exception. For the past few decades, what gamers want out of a morality system has shifted dramatically, and with it, the way that gamers think about a narrative as a wh
