OG Fable designer Peter Molyneux cried tears of joy watching Xbox reveal the new reboot, even though he thinks "there was a slight antiseptic feel about it"

Legendary game designer Peter Molyneux, known for pioneering the god game genre and creating the Fable series, had a profoundly emotional reaction to the recent re-reveal and gameplay trailer for Xbox's Fable reboot.

Molyneux left longtime Fable studio Lionhead back in 2012 after serving as lead designer on Fable 3, years before the series changed hands from Lionhead to Playground Games. That said, he was obviously instrumental to the series' creation and, apparently, still feels a strong connection to it.
