You know, since it looks like the character was ripped right out of fable...even has that exagurated art style.

Thats not exclusive to Fable.

No, but the art style in combination with the uniform is certainly associated with it.

Artstyle isnt even remotely close to Fable, especially not with this screenshot.

Last time I check, Fable art had "Tim Burton" written all over it, this one isnt.

Never seen it as being tim burton-esque at all really. It was more fairy tale looking, and this looks very similar to fable 3 stylistically. It certainly doesnt look realistic. The guy looks very characatur-ish.

It looks nothing and I mean nothing like Fable, some of you guys needs to watch more varied and more stuff out there jeez.

It reminds me of Master and Commander.

In other words sort of generic?

Maybe.

Well i know where your coming from korn dont worry :)
Its got the background of bowerstone industrial, he has the pose of a fable character, his gun looks like a fable character his clothing looks fable styled and the face from what i can see has that kinda fable look to it, yes none of those things are exclusive to fable, neither is many other styles in other games..

by going from that 1 screen shot.. all the gamers i showed at work assumed it was fable until i showed them the title.

Great to be hearing more from Arkane Studios. I actually liked their game Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.
