I just don't think guns fit in that world but I'm also not the person who created it so it's really not for me to say one way or the other, I just think magic and bows are good enough for shooting.
Depends, I thought aging up the world to the industrial era was a smart choice. Not to mention development of firearms historically started in the later 1300s, as far as records go anyway. I don't think it's a leap of imagination to include flintlock's and similar weaponry.
Gonna be honest, only ever played the platinum game, which I enjoyed. Never saw the Korra series. It's one of those "on my list of things to do."

So it really isn't all doom and gloom. They brought him in back in 2017 as one of the new guys who did have combat and action experience.
Playground Games Hires Former GTA V, Metal Gear Solid, and Hellblade Devs for New RPG
Playground Games has hired some new developers for its upcoming RPG and it has recruited some top devs who've worked on the likes of GTA V.
Not sure why he is saying he was there three years if he started in 2017. Did he leave two years ago?
I’m sure playground has a nice selection of coworkers to seek advice, knowledge from or share tech now….
Maybe but there still like 21 other projects from 21 current studios that are under their Xbox studio umbrella…activision/blizzard/king studios not included. We may get some surprises at or approaching June
I hope so, I just hope we don't end up seeing a game that missed the mark because they have never done this kind of game before, a fantasy action RPG is a lot different than a racing game.

Analysis: Who’s working on Fable 4? | VGC
Playground Games will officially reboot the RPG series, with AAA veterans behind the…
For starters, Ralph Fulton – who has been at Playground for over a decade and worked on all Forza Horizon games – serves as the project’s creative director. The narrative team of Fable is composed of various former Batman: Arkham Knight devs, as we’ve previously reported, with Martin Lancaster serving as Narrative Director, Craig Owens serving as Principal Scriptwriter, and Kim MacAskill serving as Senior Scriptwriter.
Will Kennedy, who worked on Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online during his eight years at Rockstar, is the Chief Designer. Juan Fernández de Simón – formerly of Ninja Theory (where he worked on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice) and Tequila Works – is the Principal Game Designer, while Hunter Wright, who worked as a level designer on Borderlands 3 and Battleborn at Gearbox, serves as the Lead Quest Designer. Joe Mckernan – who spent three years at Playground working on Forza Horizon before moving to Guerrilla Games for Horizon Zero Dawn – returned to the studio in June 2018 to serve as the UI Lead.
On the art side, Adam Olsson, who was Lead Environment Artist on The Division 2, fills that same role in the Fable team, working alongside Principal Environment Artist Scotty Brown, who has previously worked on the likes of Mass Effect 3 and Dead Space 2. Tom Isaksan – who had long stints at Ubisoft and IO Interactive and worked on Ghost Recon Wildlands and several Hitman games – is the Lead Character Artist.
The team has notable names from other major studios on the production side of things as well. Ian Mitchell – who has worked on Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 – serves as Senior Producer. Sean Eyestone – who worked on Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5 during a long stint at Kojima Productions – is Production Director.
Size increase has nothing to do with them not knowing how to make that kind of game, size increase just means they have gone into production. The majority of the team when it was 250 or whatever were people who worked on Forza Horizon. The bigger thing to me is that he says it's further away than people think, MS needs to stop announcing games that are 4 or more years away.
I don't even know who the other guy is and I only know who eastwood is from people saying he's a lying sack of crap, I've never watched any of his stuff before it's just something I came across on Neogaf about Fable so I thought people here would be interested in seeing it. It makes sense that a studio that's only made racing games isn't going to know how to make a fantasy action RPG, they've never had to worry about a lot of the things you need in a game that has actual people, combat, storylines etc in it vs just racing.
