SR: For fans this will feel like a homecoming, but Fables #151 sounds like it won't waste any time in launching a new story arc, "The Black Forest." What can you tease about this story picking up where Issue #150 left off, and this new story to c

The trailer did not show any gameplay, but it did give fans some information on the new Fable . The trailer does have a comedic tone, which aligns well with the series' historically light-hearted character. The trailer also features a fairy and a medieval sword before panning up to reveal a fantasy castle in the distance. While it may seem obvious, the cinematic trailer seems to imply that Fable will return to the series' earlier setting that was more similar to a traditional fantasy world. Fable 2 introduced early firearms while Fable 3 took the world of Albion to the industrial revolution, but Fable 's cinematic trailer looked as though it will return to the days of bows and swords. However, it is unclear if Fable will be a direct sequel to Fable 3 or if it will be a reboot for the franch

The world of Albion, as featured in Fable 3 , is a large and dense place filled with a lot of different things to find. The most unusual of them are the Demon Doors. These mysterious, rock-faced structures serve as portals to other wor

The current system for gearing up for a delivery in Death Stranding 2 Stranding already feels like it's been stripped straight out of MGS5 , with a blank void to prepare weapon, vehicle, and additional equipment loadouts. It's a great way for players to get ready for missions and adventures through Metal Gear Solid 's open world , and translates perfectly into attempting to travel through dystopian America. However, one benefit that MGS5 has over Death Stranding in this way is that the player has more control over what they can bring thanks to the ability to research and develop their own g

BW: It does pick right up where issue 150 left off. In the first issue we meet a couple of new characters, and reconnect with some of the old and beloved ones. It follows the Wolf family, who’ve decided it’s time to move back to Bigby’s old stomping grounds (which is where the title "The Black Forest" comes from), and it also follows a Fables character we expected not to see again, as she navigates our world which used to be the mundy world, but is now a place of unleashed wild magic. The story’s about growing up, adapting to new ways, and letting go of old things that are past their t

One change that should definitely be made to how MGS5 handles this system, however, is the removal of the Fulton recovery balloons that makes capturing enemies very easy. Instead, players should have to physically take Mules and Demens to different facilities, possibly to a specific few that have the ability to rehabilitate these enemies, making each recruitment a much more intimate encounter. Given that the entire narrative of Death Stranding involves connecting Sam to the other characters around him as much as connecting the United Cities of America, having the chance to rescue people would really help drive those themes h

BW: Mark Buckingham was my chief worry about this project. I didn’t want to do it without him, but I didn’t know if he’d be available. The often-frustrating reality about our business is the best of the best artists keep pretty busy. They aren’t just sitting around waiting for me to come along, so I was plenty worried about what we’d do if he wasn’t available. And let’s be honest: Mark Buckingham is the second-best artist working in comics to

It’s the most exciting part of the job for me. In comics the story is only told when the script and art are combined, so, even having written the entire thing, the story is still at least half a mystery to me, until I see what Mark Buckingham and Steve Leialoha do with the art. For the record, they are knocking it out of the park. They're knocking it so far out of the park that it's soaring over the next six parks to boot. Some great stuff is on the way for which you can thank these incredible artists I get to work w

Fans needed something big to keep the hype train rolling after such a long wait. Though the marketing didn't give away too much late game information, it did give up the games big ticket character: Johnny Silverhand. The marketing also revealed his motivations for the entire g

However, player expectations have changed significantly from when Fable 3 released. If Fable wants to attract new players to the series, which it surely does, it will also have to make sure it looks modern enough to be worth their time to check out. Even Fable fans will want it to feel like a jump into the future for the series as nobody will want to buy a brand new game that feels like it should have released over a decade ago. To do this, Fable will definitely have to find a balance of updating the game's older systems, like the iconic Fable morality system , while introducing some new elements to bring it into the modern
