Fable: Lost Chapters confirmed for Xbox


Recommended Posts

July 8, 2005 - Microsoft Game Studios announced that the enhanced version of Lionhead's bestselling action RPG entitled Fable: The Lost Chapters will be landing on the Xbox this fall. The title was already in development for the PC and is an estended version of the Xbox game that includes heaps of new content.

Remember all of the locked doors, dead ends, and rumored quests in the original release? Well, Fable: The Lost Chapters opens up many of those areas and is one third longer than the original game. It includes an entire new land featuring the elusive dragon long thought to be hidden in the original release. Gamers will also experience new spells, armor, weapons, enemies, and expressions.

The question likely to be on everyone's mind is how this content will be made available. Microsoft currently has plans to release the game as a Platinum Hits title for the suggested retail price of $19.99. This is a joyous announcement for those who have never set foot in Albion, but the purchase may be a tough call for people who already bought the first game for full price.

33.3% is a much needed improvement but i still think it is too short, because i think fable has the replayability advantage over many other rpgs and that it could be drastically improved if the game was more consuming and needed more time and effort to complete.

Hopefully fable 2 will have those improvements!

Should be offered free to the people that already shelled out the cash for the game on the Xbox (or a small fee with access offered via Xbox live). Not that that would affect me in any way since I don't own an Xbox, but I mean, it IS more like what the game SHOULD have shipped with rather than some kind of expansion to the game.

Plus, even with it coming to the PC I don't think I'll be getting it.

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
