Fable III opening cinematic shows chicken’s plight
Lionhead’s released the opening cinematic to Fable III, and we’ve got it for you below the lovely page fold.
Basically, it shows the city streets as well as the “daily struggles” of Albion’s citizens through the eyes of a chicken trying to escape the eventual fate of being killed, plucked, cooked and eaten. Yum.
Will this brave chicken succeed in his quest for freedom or will he pay the ultimate price? Watch and see.
Fable III is slated for Xbox 360 in October, with the PC version delayed. A date for it is expected soon.

Love it. In fact, it got me to pull out my debit card for a pre-order.

Does look very nice, just not so Fable-ish anymore. Much darker, and industrial. Good though!

Love it. Although I get the Zoe Makeawanker hate, she didn’t sound that Wanamakery here.
Was just awesomeness. So you play as a chicken confirmed?

Why all the Zoe Wanamaker hate? I think she has a unique speaking voice. Granted, I only know her from her stints in the Fable franchise and Harry Potter flicks.
She like, EVERYWHERE in the UK or something? She a villain on Eastenders/Coronation Street/Emmerdale or just a loud mouth who is in the news a lot?
I am not British so I have no idea. Please tell me. I am nosy

This trailer makes me sad. Maybe because I’ve always liked chickens/hens and even had one as a pet.

p.s. I am buying this game, and the first thing I plan to do is find that fucking cook and kick his ginger head in.
