These People All Seem Pretty Excited About Fable: The Journey

01:18 - meme anyone??

I love you Alex Navarro

I love Fable, so I want this to be good. However, I remain unconvinced.

This is probably the most defensive trailer I've ever seen.

I feel nauseous.

BUT HAY YOU GUYS, THERE WAS A WOMAN TOO. SHE'S LIKE US. RIGHT?

Jeez.

No! They're not like me! No! NO! NOOOOOOO!!!

Someone outwith marketing douchebags actually used the term "core gamer". Huh.

I LOVE THAT YOU CAN LEVEL UP.

"I play every game I can" -N7 girl. Doesn't everyone play every game they can? If you have the time, money, or interest.

I don't play every game I can. I can play Darksiders II, but I don't. It's a lifestyle choice, man.

Any product that promotes itself in this fashion is lying to the viewer, every single time. If the product is good, it should speak for itself, not rely on "not an actor" stylized commercials.

Okay, guy in the Batman shirt is a plant. Okay, maybe they all were plants. This is gross.

One of the rare cases where a thumbnail tells me everything I need to know about a video!

Exactly what I was thinking: the game was made by bike-friendly Texan bartenders.

Could we turn the Lord of the Rings choir chanting up a little more, I can still hear the "gamers" powerpoint bulleted marketing phrases...

I'm sad because I have never been as excited about anything in my life as these people are for this game.

Oh ya, the Kinect! That amazing piece of tech that brought us Steel Battalion, Rise of Nightmares, and Hulk Hogan's Main Event................................... well shit

"I'm a huge hardcore gamer because I only play all the 360 titles that have spent the most money in marketing"

I didn't know that David Ellis wore such awesome hats...

We are core gamers! Now lets flail around like idiots in front of our TVs!

This guy looks like he wants to tell me how cool this game is. Also, Vans.

Hey, you leave The Hulkster out of this, mister!

Why didn't they just have Milo tell us to buy this game?

My head hurts after watching this.

These people are totally not payed to say great thing about this game...

And they are not on rails either.

I will only buy this game if I can use the power of Kinect to fart in the faces of the citizens of Albion and have them love me for it. -because I'm a core gamer.

They'd have been better off having Steve Brule put it in his games report:

This has to be some parody aimed at making fun of the gaming press over the last 6 years.

Guys, I know it sounds shocking but these core gamer people may have beaten Kid Rock as far as authenticity goes.

Fable: The Journey's marketing campaign is definitely not on the rails

Precision aiming not an issue, thats awesome. I was worried waving my hands like an idiot at a camera in front of my TV might be imprecise and not fun at all but my fears abated, you can bet that a Kinect will be in MY christmas stocking this year, right next to the rainbow and unicorn.

This is the worst Mega64 video yet, you guys.

- It's a game. For core gamers. That's all you need to know.

- But what about the mechanics, the features, the story?

- IT'S A GAME. FOR CORE GAMERS. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Lemme tell you something brother. If you were a real Hulkamaniac you would say brother instead of mister.

The guy in the thumbnail is Ash Ketchum at age 25.

KINECT'S IN MY CHRISTMAS STOCKING.

Also this reminds me of how much i hate "gamers". Big emphasis on hate.

You can level up AND choose different abilities? WOW, I haven't seen such innovation since real time weapons change sold me on a PS3!

ughhh just ughhhh,

Fuck you Fable the Journey PR team, Just Fuck youu

I like the guy in the hat. He looks like a core gamer, mainly because of the hat. I also like the girl with the Mass Effect t-shirt on. You can tell she's a real gamer because she owns nearly all of the consoles and likes Mass Effect!

Good marketing guys!

Nobody ever asked those questions about Mass Effect and look how that turned out.

Praying Molyneux had no say in this and is actually pretty angry about it. I still have faith in the man personally.

Well, Molyneux doesn't work for Microsoft anymore, so I'd imagine he had no say in it and probably doesn't care. The man has moved on.

That's what we think, until the world breaks open the box in "Curiosity." Inside that box? It was a trucker hat with a fucking mustache on it THE WHOLE TIME.

Well, this is one of the few times an advert has made me actively not want to buy a game.

Oh man, I wish I was a core gamer like this cool testing group. Fuck you Fable marketing team, and by extension fuck you Mr. Molyneux.

15 seconds in and this is incredibly awkward.

Man, they're working so hard to establish their little focus group, their sad obsessive lives and skepticism towards Kinect... and then their childish naive and weirdly unconvincing reactions. So full of planted buzz words.

Any of you guys want to identify with the group these people represent?

I'm not buying any game promoted by a trucker in a pink baseball cap.

Guys! Remeber how good, despite its flaws, Fable 2 was?

Because I don't know if I still can after this...

I auditioned for this ad. They told me I wasn't annoying enough to appeal to their core demographic.

30 seconds... that's as far as I got.. Fuck the people behind this ad.

Kind of s shame what has happened to the Fable franchise.

I. Hate. This.

Somewhere in the Lionhead offices, a developer who really, really wants to make this a good game is looking at the terrible trailers the Marketing department are putting out, and he is weeping into his hands.
