Why the Fable Trilogy Needs a Remaster

Fable is a game series that's new but familiar to me. My first experience with the world of Albion was through Fable Anniversary around 5 years ago and although I had some issues with the game I relatively enjoyed it for what it was, its sequels I enjoyed more so.

With the last few years being full of noteworthy remasters & remakes (even the obscure Shadow Man game got its own remaster) and some rumors of a Gears of War collection surfacing recently, I thought how great of an idea it would be for Microsoft to remaster the Fable Trilogy to coincide with the announcement and upcoming release for Fable 4.

Now some people might be against this, particularly due to the fact that legacy Fable titles can be played through Xbox's backwards compatibility program, but I feel that all those games (including Fable Anniversary) could do with some tweaks and enhancements for modern consoles. Something similar in scope to the Halo: Master Chief Collection would be a perfect fit for the Fable trilogy, below are a few ideas I would have for a Fable Trilogy remaster (I've also included some possible names as a bonus!)

Toggle Graphics

One thing that the original Fable Anniversary should've had is the option to switch between classic and remastered graphics on the go. It's an option that I feel most major game remasters should make use of, and Fable Anniversary was an obvious leap in improvement when it comes to graphics. Out of all games in the Fable Trilogy, I feel that the original Fable's remaster should remain the same as it graphically looked in 2014 and a Fable II remaster would benefit from a modern graphical upgrade - while also retaining classic graphic settings.

Free DLC Bundles

Let me be serious, Fable has never had particularly good DLC. Fable II offered two underwhelming DLC packs which could be completed in a few short hours and Fable III had copious amounts of game content locked behind paywalls. If it were up to me then the Fable Trilogy would offer all DLC for each game free of charge, and that's something I would hope for a Fable Trilogy remaster.

Behind the Scenes Footage

I believe that Fable's development history was quite interesting if not ambitious, it was clear that the developers wanted to put all they could in the game but were stopped due to technical issues with the original Xbox. When viewing behind the scenes footage of the series' development, we get a sense of how far the series has come and what it strived to be back then. If a Fable Trilogy collection also offered exclusive footage of behind the scenes, then it would help players to appreciate the craft that the developers put into making the games.
