Xbox 360 Fable Anniversary graphical updates finally shown

[jstep]

Fable Anniversary is coming out for the 360 on February 7th. The graphic updates look great. I won't be getting this one, since I played the original back in the day, but for those of you that haven't played it in the past, this would be a great title to pickup, especially if you've played and enjoyed the other Fable games in the franchise. Although beware, if you're looking for something drastically different than the other Fable title, you may be a little disappointed, as the Fable games all follow the same general game play.

"We upped the polygon count quite significantly for all the in-game models, which means the model edges and silhouettes look much smoother," he revealed.
"The way materials work and look in games has been significantly improved since 2004. By including Specular Maps (for determining how shiny a material appears), and setting specific values within a material we can now visually distinguish much better between material types."

Vale went on to explain that extra light sources were added for interiors, "to create a better lit and more visually appealing environment." On top of that, dynamic shadow casting was added to several key light sources, including interior fireplaces.
