Fable Graphics And Animations Very Impressive, Says GOW Ragnarok Dev

Expert Verified By

Fable Has Thoroughly Impressed Everyone!

Story Highlight
  • The latest Fable trailer has impressed a developer who has worked on various games, including God of War Ragnarok.
  • The animator praised Playground Games’ modelling, texture work, and intricate animations.
  • He also offered advice for small improvements that could make the RPG even better.

Following the incredibly successful Forza Horizon 5, Playground Games is officially returning with Fable in 2025. Much like Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight and more, Fable’s long-anticipated reboot is expected to be one of Xbox’s biggest releases next year.

A new trailer for the RPG debuted earlier this month, creating further anticipation for the release. Following this trailer, Playground Games has earned praise for its impressive footage.

Even developers have been taken aback by the quality on display, with a God of War Ragnarok animator showering the new footage with praise.

Why it matters: Fable has always raised eyebrows due to its visual excellence. Playground Games has previously said that the final game will look just as great as the trailer footage.

Mike York is an animator with nearly 20 years of experience in game development. Having worked with studios like Rockstar and Santa Monica, the developer likes to share his insights with audiences through his YouTube videos.

Previously, Mike York shed light on topics like developers prioritizing PlayStation as the lead platform, but his latest video focuses on Fable. The developer appears to have been blown away by the visual fidelity of the RPG.

York noted that everything, from the facial models to the texture work, looked impressive. He also highlighted how Playground Games had captured subtle animations like Humphry’s throat slightly moving as he took a drink.

Elsewhere, he praised the natural hair movement presented in the footage. Elements like characters firmly gripping their swords or emoting realistically ensured he was never left unimpressed.

All in all, he was pleased to see what Playground Games had come up with.

I’m impressed with the animation quality and, the texturing, the modelling. It looks really good.

Still, the developer didn’t find the trailer flawless. He noted how certain surfaces, like the rug and burlap sack at the beginning, lacked detail compared to the rest of the objects. These were, however, small issues.

Overall, Mike York was quite impressed.

Playground Games has always been one of Xbox’s most prominent studios. The team has constantly delivered top-tier visuals without sacrificing performance, and the studio’s talents shine through in Fable.

Arriving in 2025, this RPG has millions excited. The franchise has not been relevant in many years, making this reboot all the more exciting for fans.
