Yeah although I've played a bit of this and think it can be a lot of fun, I'd still rather have a true Fable 4.
I love bringing up old new shiz...

Fable Legends DX12 Up To 40% Faster Performance; Xbox One “Visual Bar”Pushed Higher
Fable Legends DX12 Up To 40% Faster Performance; Xbox One “Visual Bar”Pushed Higher
January 31, 2016 • By Aernout
Fable Legends will be using DirectX12 (DX12), and according Lionhead’s studio director, Stuart Whyte, the performance gain from using DX12 is quite a bit, compared to DX11. This doesn’t only apply to the PC version of the game, but the Xbox One also benefits quite a bit from using DX12.
Whyte said this in a recent exclusive interview with website BidnessETC. In the interview, Lionhead’s studio director was asked why Fable Legends is using DX12. According Whyte, anything that helps improve visual quality in a game, will be loved by developers and players. By using Microsoft’s new DirectX technology, the development team was able to achieve “a significant amount of horsepower – resulting in increased visual fidelity, higher frame rates, and improved shadows and effects.”
Whyte added that, depending on the graphic card used, a performance improvement of “up to 40%” was achieved, compared to DX11 performance.
Fable Legends DX12 On Xbox One; Visual bar pushed higher
While Fable Legends was initially announced as an Xbox One game, the game will also be released for PC (Windows 10) and will allow cross-play between both platforms. On several occasions, Microsoft has stated that the Xbox One will benefit from DX12, but it won’t change the console’s graphics capabilities.
On the DX12 question, I was asked early on by people if DX12 is gonna dramatically change the graphics capabilities of Xbox One and I said it wouldn’t. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but the CPU, GPU and memory that are on Xbox One don’t change when you go to DX12. DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One’s good at, which will be nice and you’ll see improvement in games that use DX12, but people ask me if it’s gonna be dramatic and I think I answered no at the time and I’ll say the same thing”, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer said during an interview with the Inner Circle last year.
According Lionhead’s director, though, Fable Legends is using a number of features on Xbox One, including asynchronous compute and efficient multi-threaded rendering.” These features allows Lionhead to “push the visual bar higher than would otherwise be possible.”
Surely we’re excited about the performance gains on both PC and Xbox One. Fable Legends were initially slated for a release in 2015, but was delayed to 2016 to further polish the game.

Well initially it looked like a 720p 360 game and since then looks dramatically better... DX12 benefits with XBO might be REAL!
When Lionhead was back at the list of Microsoft Studios team list I was hoping Lionhead would start developing a new game. Seems like that's not the case though.
I truly hope this is the case, they really need to finish Fable Legends. It is an amazing game and it's cancelation made no sense. Not that cancelling the game, closing the studio and then making a new independent studio to continue the game makes any more sense. But at this point I'll cling to anything.
It's the same thing that happened to Star Wars Battlefront 3. The management concluded that the cost to market and run the game would be even more expensive than the actual revenue so they just decided to go full stop. They simply don't believe in the game anymore. In case of SWBF3, I think Lucasarts was downright stupid. In case of Fable Legends though... I can't really blame the decision. It could be good if done right, but to me it seemed mediocre at best, after the hyper long development cycle.
Yup, when you're a top studio getting paid top dollar you're expected to put out some Triple A content. It's been awhile since Lionhead Studios really delivered. So Microsoft pulled the plug. I heard rumors that Fable Legends might still happen somehow, but who knows. It's probably best to just move on.
