Microsoft Have Released The Opening Cinematic To Fable III
Microsoft have released the opening cinematic to Fable III. This CGi Movie provides hints, through the narration of the trailer, of what the plot of Fable III is whilst also providing a unique look at Albion. The Cinematic follows the tail of a Chicken who makes a break for freedom.
Press Release
LONDON – 04 August 2010 - Ba-kawk! A chicken cluck is hardly the battle cry for revolution, but the journey to rule in “Fable III” is a treacherous one and you’ll need all the followers you can get to start the rebellion. Microsoft Game Studios and Lionhead Studios have teamed up to offer a revealing glimpse into “Fable III,” which launches on October 29th, with the game’s opening cinematic featuring everyone’s favourite punting target as the most unlikeliest of heroes. Dashing through city streets and hurdling through the air, witness the daily struggles of Albion’s citizens through the eyes of a chicken as he makes the ultimate gamble for freedom.
In a world where freedom is nothing more than a dream, Albion’s oppressed and downtrodden citizens desperately need a hero. Against all odds, our aspiring hero dares to take a stand against his sworn enemy and puts up a rebel’s fight, paving the road to revolution for those who follow. However, he’ll quickly learn that revolutionaries can’t triumph alone. Will this brave chicken succeed in his quest for freedom or will he pay the ultimate price? The tide is turning and the uprising has begun – will you follow his lead? Make your way to www.lionhead.com to watch the world premiere of the “Fable III” opening cinematic now!
“Fable III” sets the stage for an unparalleled action and adventure experience, in which you will be called upon to lead a rebellion against your brother, the tyrant king Logan, and rise up as the new ruler of Albion. Take part in all the action, drama and humour as you’re propelled into a rich and engaging story, featuring a unique cast of characters around you.
“Fable III” will be available in a Standard Edition (£49.99) and Limited Collector’s Edition (£59.99) for Xbox 360, and is available now for pre-order at participating retailers. With the all-new character creator tool at xbox.com/fable3, called the “Fable III” Villager Maker, fans who pre-order the game can create and bring their personalised villager to life. The in-game villager will deliver to your hero a thrilling new quest and 1,000 gold in fortune.

Mediatonic Announce Who's That Flying, An Exclusive Playstation Mini's Game
Mediatonic have revealed their upcoming Playstation Mini's Game, Who's That Flying. This is the second Playstation Mini title from Mediatonic, the first was Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess, and this will be exclusive to Playstation Mini's. In the game you play as Guardian of Earth, who must defend the earth from the Doom Beasts. But, as you missed the initial invasion wave, you will also have to defend the Guardian of Earth himself from accusations of gross incompetence from the Galactic Council of Justice.
Game Features Summary
Press Release
London, UK. London-based development studio Mediatonic has announced Who’s That Flying?!, its second PlayStation Minis game for PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3. Who’s That Flying?! is a brand new, original IP and will be released exclusively as a download from Sony’s Playstation Network (PSN) store. Who’s That Flying?! is a side-scrolling shooter crossed with tower defence and courtroom drama, all doused in sheer awesomeness - AND THEN SET ON FIRE.
Players take control of the mysterious and powerful creature known only as the "Guardian of Earth". His steely eye and HYPER-POWERED LASER ARM have kept the citizens of Earth safe for generations (as well as proving a hit with the ladies). With all his awesome TALENT and FLAIR, surely it would be IMPOSSIBLE for a sudden and devastating invasion of colossal Doom Beasts to descend on the Earth’s cities and cause havoc without his knowledge? No. It’s not. And the fact that he was posing for photos at the time has nothing to do with it.
To save the Guardian Of Earth’s reputation, as well as the Earth itself, players must not only defend the cities from ravenous hordes of Doom Beasts but must also defend the Guardian of Earth against accusations of gross incompetence from the Galactic Council of Justice - and this is all BEFORE players can even start to get to the bottom of just who or what is really behind the invasion.
The announcement of Who’s That Flying?! follows on from Mediatonic’s critically acclaimed PlayStation Minis debut, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess. Both titles demonstrate the studio’s belief in creating games packed full of love, character, story and attention to detail.
Writer and designer Jim Griffiths comments: “The beating heart of Who’s That Flying?! is a fast-paced side-scrolling shooter, but we’re also very proud of the world and characters that we’ve created. Every level you play through is actually the Guardian retelling his story to the Galactic Council in an attempt to prove his innocence - with the occasional twist in the tale." Jim continues: "We feel it’s an interesting and effective way of bringing together the story and the game mechanic to make both of them feel relevant and more meaningful to the player.”
Mediatonic’s co-founder and creative director Paul Croft adds: “It’s fantastic to be announcing another title for Sony’s brilliant PlayStation Minis service. WTF was a really interesting game to work on as we tried to combine two very different game mechanics to create something truly unique. It’s quick and fun to pick-up and play and we believe it will appeal to both casual players and hardcore shmup fans alike. We’ve packed a lot of content and personality into the game and we’re really excited about the launch!”
