The Revolution Begins With an Unlikely Hero in the Fable III Opening Cinematic

Ba-kauwk!  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 in North America on Oct. 26 , 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 it 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?

 

 

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 humor as you’re propelled into a rich and engaging story, featuring a unique cast of characters around you.

What I originally thought:

Me: "no... NO... NOOOOO!! I SHALL KILL THE COOK MYSELF!!! HE WILL PAAAAAYYYYY!"

*Pew pew*

Cook: Oh noes! *dead*

My thoughts now: Oh wait a minute, in all fable games, you can attack chickens, shoot them, kick them, and shoot them 12 more times and they would still live! There is hope! He may have just been shot into the air like he did earlier! Yay! Denial Yay! Delusional yay!

Not that I'm complaining, no. It's a great homage to that movie's opening - and still the best game trailer I've seen.

Never played Fable before, but this got me hooked already even if it doesn't really has to do with the gameplay. The ideas conveyed are enough.

If the Fable 3 game looks anything like this video; this is truly going to be an epic game. The characters, buildings etc…all look 3D Wow!  Bravo! to Lionhead.

Fable 2 seems like 2D compared to this…

i love these intros Loinhead does. It was part of the reason fable 2 disappointed me because we got a great intro then you didnt see anything like it again but i guess if they did as many of these as like Final Fantasy they might lose their charm but really who else but Loinhead can make me feel sorry for a chicken which i spent the last 2 games beating the crap out of

It's painful how much Peter Molyneaux has got you guys around his little finger. I like the Fable franchise and everything, but after Peter worked up Fable II so much, I'm going to be careful about buying Fable III. I think the guy in this video, John Eckersly, should replace Peter for a spokesperson of Lionhead.

I feel that the chicken should be able to survive. I also feel that it should be an unlockable companion. In some way, a chicken fighting back at people would (to me) totally fit in with the humor that Lionhead has created for the series. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
